Abstract

A single homogeneous data set containing near-infrared (JHKLM) photometry of bright stars in the Southern Hemisphere obtained from different sources is constructed based on the use of the Johnson system as a standard. Data for 203 stars in the J, H, K and L bands and 87 stars in the M band from the lists of Glass (1974), Engels et al. (1981), Wamsteker (1981) and Allen (1981, 1982) was combined by comparison with the list of Johnson, followed by transformation into the Johnson J and K bands, the H band of Glass and Allen, an L band similar to that of Johnson but having the zero point of Glass, and the M band of Engels. Average colors and spectral types are also obtained. The present list may be used to provide calibration objects in the range 1.2 to 5 microns covering a wide range in color and brightness.
