B, R and I magnitudes

Mon, 05/22/2023 - 19:50

Hello everybody. I will monitor two stars in Lup in B, V, R and I and from what I can see the AAVSO tables are only giving the V magnitude and color index of the star. Do you suggest, or do you think it's worth using the values ​​of B, R and I from Simbad, or Vizier? Is there any method for these values ​​to appear in the photometry table?

Thank you so much.

Hi Cledison,

at the bottom of the chart form in VSP, you will find the option "Select which filters to display (Photometry Only)".
There you can click on the passbands you want, and when displaying the photometry table you will get them.

See this example for chart X28720BEM for EX Lup.
Here you can find B, V, Rc and Ic magnitudes (when available).

Cheers,
Sebastian
