5 Notes on individual photometric systems

UBV - Johnson and Morgan - 1953 (Fig. 12). Compared to Paper I, a fourth system reconstruction has been considered (Buser 1978; Buser & Kurucz 1978), while Vilnius one for the B band is now properly splitted into the B and $B_{\rm p}$ variants (cf. Strayzis 1992).

PV - Eggen - 1955 (Fig. 14). The wavelength and width of the V filter as given in Paper I are inaccurate.

Vilnius - Straizys et al. - 1965 (Fig. 38). The transmission curves for S and T filters are taken from Straizys (1992).

27 colors - Wing - 1967 (Fig. 49). In accordance to Paper I, we consider here only the bands for which $\lambda_{\rm c}$ is specified in the source paper.

H $\beta,\gamma$ - Sinnerstad et al. - 1968 (Fig. 52) The overall shape of the H$\beta$-wide filters is taken equivalent to H$\gamma$-wide as specified in the source paper.

Spinrad and Taylor - 1969 (Fig. 56). The widths of the bands (16 Å shortward of 5360 Å and 32 longward) as revised by Spinrad & Taylor (1971) are adopted here.

nh - Landolt - 1970 (Fig. 61). Only the Oct 14, 1965 filter set is considered.

H$\gamma$ - Häggkvist - 1971 (Fig. 64). The source paper reports about aging effects on wavelengths and widths of the adopted interference filters. Mean values are considered here.

Wawrukiewicz - 1971 (Fig. 68). Actual FWHM of TiO bands are twice the values reported in Paper I.

Caplan - 1973 (Fig. 76). Bands 6548 and 6577 given in Paper I are actually a single band extending from 6536 to 6589 Å. 10 colors - Faber - 1973 (Fig. 79). Band transmission profiles are taken from Fig. 1 of the source paper.

H$\alpha$ - Vidal - 1974 (Fig. 89). Paper I reports right values for band FWHM, but plots and tabulates them twice as large.

uvgr 39_B 39_N - Zinn - 1980 (Fig. 109). The uvgr bands are the same as those of the uvgr - Thuan and Gunn - 1976 system (see Fig. 100), and therefore only the 39_B and 39_N interference filter bands are considered here.

eight-colors - Tedesco et al. - 1982 (Fig. 116). Band transmission profiles are taken from Fig. 1 of the source paper.

Kenyon and Fernandez-Castro - 1987 (Fig. 125). Differently from Paper I, here we consider also the two bands at 8190 and 8400 Å described in the source paper.

g₄r₄i₄z₄ - Schneider et al. - 1989 (Fig. 129). Paper I reports erroneous transmission curves, that have been replaced by the correct ones in the ADPS web site and in this paper.

Hipparcos - 1989 (Fig. 130). Besides the original ESA's transmission curves (as published in the Hipparcos Catalogue, ESA SP-1200), here we consider also the revised profiles by Bessell (2000).

POSS II - Reid et al. - 1991 (Fig. 133). Paper I reports erroneous transmission curves, that have been replaced by the correct ones in the ADPS web site and in this paper.

TNG - Marchetti et al. - 1997 (Fig. 143). Band transmission curves are derived from Fig. 1 of the source paper.

UWTAT - Strassmeier et al. - 1997 (Fig. 144). The photometric system combines bands from other systems (uvby H$\beta$ - Strömgren and Crawford - 1956, UBV - Johnson and Morgan - 1953, R$_{\rm c}$I$_{\rm c}$ - Cousins - 1976, H $\alpha,\beta$ - Guinan and McCook - 1974). Here we adopt the band transmission curves derived from Fig. 4 of the source paper.

Geneva GAIA - Grenon et al. - 1999 (Fig. 148). The provisional band profiles adopted in Paper I are here replaced by the proper ones (C. Jordi, private communication).

OAO2 WEP - 1970 (Fig. 151). Filter names have been revised according to post-lunch documentation (Wende 1974). Filters 213, 256, 297, 333 are here ignored because associated to the nebular photometer that failed shortly after launch.

UIT - 1990 (Fig. 156). Paper I reports erroneous transmission curves, that have been replaced by the correct ones in the ADPS web site and in this paper.

Pilachowski - 1978 (Fig. 161). We have neglected the wide band at 2.2 $\mu$m because it is a standard K band.
