Abstract

From our comparison of magnitudes of bright stars in the Hipparcos catalogue and in the Tien-Shan catalogue of WBVR magnitudes, we compiled a list of stars that could be candidate photometric standards in the northern sky. The selected stars were tested for variability using the MZ technique. The result is a list of 6484 stars recommended as standards.
