Abstract

A database of published Strömgren four-color uvby photoelectric photometry for objects in the Stephenson-Sanduleak Luminous Stars in the Southern Milky Way catalog has been compiled from the literature. Of 5132 stars in the catalog, 817 have uvby colors and magnitudes available; altogether, the database incorporates 1181 observations from 41 references. The database is available electronically at CDS, and lists LS number, HD or CD number, , m₁, c₁, number of observations, numeric codes for notes and references, galactic and b coordinates, and aliases for named or variable stars.
