B2V There are no B2V dagger standards, but Bet^2 Sco (HD 144218) probably best. Garcia89 lists 8 B2V standards: HD 3901, 4180, 144218, 147934, 148605, 191746, 208947, 218440 Lesh68 lists 22 Sco & 51 Cyg as their primary B2V standards, with HD 36430 & HD 43955 as secondary B2V standards. Walborn71 & Walborn90 adopts HD 42401 as their B2V standard. Hiltner69 & Garrison77 list HD 148605 (22 Sco) as their B2V standard Cowley72 adopted Sig Sgr as their B2V standard. Garrison79 lists 22 Sco, 13 Sco, and Bet Sco B (IV-V) as their B2V standards. Skiff08 lists 6 stars as B2V standards (and variants): HD 148605 (B2V; MK73), HD 175191 (B2V; MK73), HD 120324 (B2V:e; MK78), HD 144218 (B2V; MK78), HD 36485 (B2Vh; MK78), HD 37017 (B2Vh; MK78).
