Description:
   A file of MK spectral types and UBV photometry maintained at Dearborn
   Observatory is presented here. It is based on an extensive literature
   search. The annex files (various clusters and associations, and SMC)
   are from the revised 12th catalogue.

Note on RAm, DEd, DEm:
     the columns RAm and DEd are blank only for a few stars in files
     ngc1977.dat and ngc6087.dat
Note on u_Vmag, u_B-V:
     The letter 'm' (for mean) is used for mean magnitude of variables
     (the magnitude is printed within angle brackets like <14.8>)
