B9.5V Cowley69 and Cowley72 used Ome^2 Aqr as their B9.5V standard. Skiff08 lists only two B9.5V standards: HD 19805 and HD 23873 # No Standard Garrison67 did not list a B9.5V standard. # Standards HD 222661 = ome^2 Aqr = 105 Aqr = GJ 9836A = HR 8988 B9.5V: JM53,Cowley69(stan),Cowley72(stan),Houk88,Abt02 B9.5IV: Abt95,Gray87 B9V: deVaucouleur57 Notes: 5.4" binary,deltaV=6.0,A is SB (Worley96),Gahm83 calls "B" a A5Vne Hipparcos par=21.16+-0.87 mas => D=47.3+-1.9 pc D(ZAMS) = 43+-10 pc; hence near ZAMS! B-V(HIP)=-0.032+-0.004 Johnson66: B-V=-0.04,U-B=-0.13 Av(Neckel80)=0.02 Mermilliod91: B-V=-0.041+-0.006, U-B=-0.121+-0.014 Mamajek: (B-V)o=-0.018, E(B-V)=-0.023 probably "reddened" by secondary since d ~ 47 pc. Note that Castelli reddening gives Av=0.39, where Shobbrook gives Av=0.04.

Note: seems to be OK B9.5V standard except for Gray87,Abt78 call, but definitely blue Keenan85 lists "HD 19803" as a B9.5V standard, but this appears to be a typo for HD 19805 HD 23873 = Cl Melotte 22 2263 (Pleiades member) B9.5V: MK78, Gray87(B9.5Va),Mendoza56 B9.5IVsn: Abt78 A0V: : JM53 B-V(HIP)=-0.027+-0.004 Mermilliod91: B-V=-0.027+-0.004, U-B=-0.120+-0.000 Mamajek vers. of Q-method: B-Vo=-0.053, E(B-V)=0.026,D(ZAMS)=128+-29 pc (hence MS) par(HIP)=8.02+-0.91 mas Note: seems to be OK B9.5V standard # B-Vo -0.053 HD_23873 -0.040 HD_19805 -0.018 HD_222661
