B3V There are two dagger standards: eta UMa and eta Aur Lesh68 lists Eta Aur as their primary B3V standard, with HD 178329 as their secondary B3V standard. MK43, Garrison67, Hiltner69 & Garrison77 list Eta Aur (=HD 32630) as its B3V standard. Walborn71 lists two B3V standards: Eta UMa & Eta Aur. Cowley72 lists Eta Aur & Iot Her as B3V standards. Walborn90 shows Eta Hya (=HD 74280) as its B3V standard. Skiff08 flaged three B3V standards: HD 120315 (MK73), HD 32630 (MK73), & HD 20365 (MK78).
