Datatype: ascc

This datatype collects the photometry used for the All-sky Compiled Catalogue of 2.5 million stars (ASCC-2.5, 2nd version) published by Kharchenko N.V. (2001, Kinematics and Physics of Celestial Bodies 17, 409, 2001KFNT...17e.409K). The data base in its complete form is available at the CDS in the catalogue section.

All photometric data were transformed into the standard Johnson system by the author. It is therefore treated as a "true" BV system. These data were also used for the "ubv.cmd" diagrams.
