Abstract

Forty-eight of the Landolt [Astron. J. 78, 959 (1973)] faint equatorial standard stars have been observed with both S-1 and RCA 31034A photmultipliers. V-R and V-I colors are given for these stars on the Johnson system and on a system natural to the RCA 31034A.

A number of M dwarfs have also been observed with the S-1 and/or the RCA 31034A photomultipliers. Serious problems have been encountered in transforming the observed V-R and V-I colors of the M dwarfs to the johnson system.
