Abstract

This short paper presents previously unpublished, as well as new, photometric observations of the peculiar B[e] star HD 45677. The photometric measurements were made in the Walraven WULBV, Strömgren uvby, Johnson/Cousins and the ESO JHKLM photometric systems between 1977 and 1994. Together with all the previously published photometry, these data will be analyzed in a separate paper, which will also investigate the spectroscopic behaviour of this fascinating object.
