Notes. Coordinates α and δ (J2000) are given in the object names (2MASS Jhhmmss.ss ± ddmmss.s). Galactic coordinates l and b are given in degrees. B and R in mag. are generally taken from the USNO-A2 catalogue, with 1-σ uncertainties of 0.25 mag. The J,H,K data are near-infrared magnitudes from the 2MASS catalogue, with uncertainties of 0.02 to 0.04 mag.(1) FBS 1339−070; (2) FBS 1516+151; (3) FBS 1615−048; (4) FBS 1618−087; (5) ALW Carina 2 (Azzopardi et al. 1986); (6) C3 of Mould et al.
