A catalogue of photometric sequences (suppl. 3)

In stellar photometry studies, certain difficulties have arisen because of the lack of suitable photometric sequences for calibrating astronomical photographs. In order to eliminate these difficulties, active observers were contacted with a view to drawing up lists of suitable sequences. Replies from 63 authors offering data on 412 sequences were received. Most data were in the UBV system and had been obtained between 1968 and 1973. These were included in the original catalogue. The Catalogue represents a continuation of the earlier Photometric Catalogue compiled by Sharov and Jakimova (1970). A small supplement containing 69 sequences was issued in 1973. Supplement 2 was produced in 1976 and contained 320 sequences. Supplement 3 has now been compiled. It contains 1271 sequences.
