Standard Stars in VSP

The AAVSO office will be closed or have minimal staffing from Dec 25th through January 1st, so responses may be slow. We apologize for any inconvenience and wish everyone a Happy Holiday!

The 2009 Landolt UBVRI Equatorial Standard Fields are being added to VSP. Descriptions of all the fields are included in the tables below. In order to plot them you need to enter the coordinates and size of the field you want. This table gives the field center coordinates of the fields. Quick link to VSP

NOTES:

  • Field GD71 was taken out because it overlapped onto the comparison star sequence for Z and RU Tauri.
  • No single stars or stars with less than 5 observations are included as standards.

This is another excellent example of a volunteer driven project that would either take forever or not get done at all if the staff were required to do the leg work. I would personally like to express my sincere gratitude to Terry Bohlsen for making this possible.
