Abstract

Using photometric data from the TYCHO experiment of the HIPPARCOS mission the discrepancies in B-V between the different series of measurement of the equatorial UBV standards have been studied. Corrections to the data by Landolt (1983) and Menzies et al. (1991) have been derived. based on observations made with the ESA Hipparcos satellite.
