Candidates for our photometric survey were primarily taken from Renson et al.
(1990) and Gray & Corbally (1993). We performed a critical search in
the literature to reject candidates which probably are
not Bootis stars. Finally, we have compared the list (Table1 (click here))
with our new
catalogue (Paunzen et al. 1997).
For some of the observed stars, classification spectra are still
missing (indicated with a question mark in the row of
the spectral classification
in Table1 (click here)). Nevertheless the level of confidence is very high that all presented
programme stars are true
Bootis stars, except HD154153. This star could
belong to the intermediate PopulationII group (Gray 1989) and was also
quoted as probable misclassified in Renson et al. (1990).
But further observations have to clarify its evolutionary status.
We have tried to use at least two comparison stars in the same
magnitude and spectral
range as the candidate star. The selected comparison
stars were checked via Simbad for already known variability.
