B0V Garrison94 lists the B0V dagger as Ups Ori = HD 36512 Lesh68 lists Ups Ori & Tau Sco as B0V standards. Abt68 lists HD 46106 as their B0V standard. Walborn72 & Walborn90 list Ups Ori as the B0V standard, with Tau Sco as the B0.2V. Hiltner69, Garrison77, Garrison79 list Tau Sco as its B0V standard. MK43 lists Tau Sco as "B0V" standard and 139 Tau as "B0" standard. Garrison94 lists Tau Sco as a B0V dagger, but Walborn72 calls it B0.2V. Lesh68 classified two stars as B0V: HD 202214 & HD 36512. Garcia89 lists 4 B0V MK standards: HD 36512, 149438, 206183, 207538 Skiff08 lists two B0V standards: Hd 36512 (MK73) & HD 149438 (MK78) Median Mermilliod91 colors among the standards: (B0V) = -0.280 (B0V) = -1.0505 # Dagger Standards HD 36512 = ups Ori = HR 1855 B0V: Jaschek78(JM53),Jaschek64(all but one),Lesh68(stan),Walborn71,Walborn72,MK73,Abt77(B0Vs),Garcia89,Walborn90,Garrison94,Houk99(Garrison),Russeil07 B0.5V: Lesh68(stan) B3: Cannon M91: V=4.618+-0.013, B-V=-0.264+-0.007, U-B=-1.068+-0.008 =>QBV=> (B-V)o=-0.281, (U-B)o=-1.053, E(B-V)= 0.017, T=29944. # Good standards HD 149438 = tau Sco = HR 6165 B0V: MK43,Lesh68(stan),Jaschek78(JM53),Bertiau58,Jaschek64(all),Garrison67,Hiltner69(stan),MK73,Garrison77(stan),MK78,Garrison79(stan),Houk82,Keenan85,Garcia89,Garrison96 B0: Cannon B0.2V: Walborn71,Walborn90 M91: V=2.825+-0.009, B-V=-0.252+-0.007, U-B=-1.023+-0.013 =>QBV=> (B-V)o=-0.270, (U-B)o=-1.010, E(B-V)= 0.018, T=28066. Basically was unanimously B0V until Walborn called it B0.2V # Secondary Standards?

It is not in the Maiz-Appelaniz O-star catalog. The majority say B0V.

Originally B0V, but has been B0.3-0.5 since ~1970 I'm assuming the most authoritative classification is B0.3IV (MK73) HD 207538 = Cl Trumpler 37 1588 = ALS 12008 B0V: Morgan53,JM53,Morgan55,Hiltner56,Jaschek64(all),Simonson68,Garcia89 O9.5V: Conti71,Conti73,Conti74,Garrison76 O9III: Bisiachhi82, B3: Cannon Similar to HD 206183 -- Morgan called B0V, but others later moved to O9 or O9.5?

Abt68 uses as B0V standard. Too much disagreement to consider a useful standard.
