UBV CCD observations of standard stars selected from Landolt (2009, 2013) were performed using the 1-meter telescope (T100) of the T\"{U}B\.{I}TAK National Observatory equipped with a back-illuminated and UV enhanced CCD camera and Bessell…
We present a new calibration of optical (UBV, Stromgren, uvby-beta, and Geneva) and near IR (Johnson RIJHK and 2MASS) photometry for B and early A stars derived from Kurucz (1991) Atlas model atmospheres. Our sample of stars consists of 45…
We provide tables of theoretical isochrones in several photometric systems. To this aim, the following steps are followed: (1) First, we re-write the formalism for converting synthetic stellar spectra into tables of bolometric corrections.…
Although the use of RGB photometry has exploded in the last decades due to the advent of high-quality and inexpensive digital cameras equipped with Bayer-like color filter systems, there is surprisingly no catalogue of bright stars that can…
A new intrinsic-colour calibration ($(b$--$y)_{o}$--$\beta$) is presented for the $uvby$--$\beta$ photometric system, making use of re-calibrated Hipparcos parallaxes and published reddening maps. This new calibration for…

Based on an initial expectation from laboratory measurements or instrument simulations, photometric passbands are usually subject to refinements. These refinements use photometric observations of astronomical sources with known spectral…
Estimating accurate bolometric fluxes for stars requires reliable photometry to absolutely flux calibrate the spectra. This is a significant problem for studies of very bright stars, which are generally saturated in modern photometric…
