UBV beta Database for Case-Hamburg Northern and Southern Luminous Stars
A database of photoelectric UBV beta photometry for stars listed in theCase-Hamburg northern and southern Milky Way luminous stars surveys hasbeen compiled from the original research literature. Consisting of over16,000 observations of some 7300 stars from over 500 sources, thisdatabase constitutes the most complete compilation of such photometryavailable for intrinsically luminous stars around the Galactic plane.Over 5000 stars listed in the Case-Hamburg surveys still lackfundamental photometric data.

A search for hot post-AGB stars in the IRAS Point Source Catalog.
In this paper a first step is made to search for hot post-AGB stars inthe IRAS Point Source Catalog. In order to find objects that evolved offthe AGB a longer time ago than post-AGB objects discussed in theliterature, objects that were not detected at 12 μm by IRAS wereselected, The selection yielded 15 objects, of which 12 have spectraltype B, and would appear to be efficient in finding hot objects.However, this result does not necessarily mean that these are oldevolved objects. Some stars are associated with dense galactic cirrusand are probably normal massive supergiants, and a number of stars aregood post-AGB candidates because of their galactic latitudes and theircool, extended infrared emission. The possibility remains that theseobjects are normal supergiants heating the local interstellar medium.Finally, three remaining objects appear to be genuine post-AGB(candidate) stars, as is attested by their spectral and photometricproperties. The main conclusion derived from modelling their spectralenergy distributions is that the objects evolved off the AGB about 1000years ago, significantly longer than what is found for other post-AGBstars. Emission lines have appeared in the spectrum of one of theseobjects, SAO 243756, over the last 20 years. SAO 243756 bears closeresemblance to other objects that have been proposed to have entered thePlanetary Nebula phase recently. Several aspects of the problem ofselecting post-AGB stars in general are discussed.

The Henry Draper Extension Charts: A catalogue of accurate positions, proper motions, magnitudes and spectral types of 86933 stars
The Henry Draper Extension Charts (HDEC), published in the form offinding charts, provide spectral classification for some 87000 starsmostly between 10th and 11th magnitude. This data, being highlyvaluable, as yet was practically unusable for modern computer-basedastronomy. An earlier pilot project (Roeser et al. 1991) demonstrated apossibility to convert this into a star catalogue, using measurements ofcartesian coordinates of stars on the charts and positions of theAstrographic Catalogue (AC) for subsequent identification. We presenthere a final HDEC catalogue comprising accurate positions, propermotions, magnitudes and spectral classes for 86933 stars of the HenryDraper Extension Charts.

Bemerkungen über das (B-V)/(U-B)-Diagramm der O-,B-Sterne
All O-A0 stars with known MK-spectra and photoelectric magnitudes (U, B,V system) have been used to investigate the form of the reddening paths.For small reddening (B-V < 1^m) the reddening paths can be consideredas parallel straight lines with the slope 0.76. A luminosity effect onthe position of the reddening paths is present. Consequences of thiseffect on intrinsic colors are discussed.
