F2IV JM53 lists bet Cas and ups UMa as F2IV standards. MK73 lists 1 Mon (HR 2107) as the F2IV dagger standard. MorganAbt72 lists HR 1554 and HR 8765 as F2IV standards. Cowley74 lists ups UMa, iot Leo, & HR 8765 as F2IV standards. Garcia89 lists two F2IV standards: HD 40535 (1 Mon) and HD 84999 (ups UMa), along with the F2III-IV standard HD 432 (bet Cas). The MK78 atlas uses the F2III-IV standard Bet Cas, but no "IV" standard. GrayGarrison89 list 32 Tau as the low vsini F2IV standard, and do not list a high vsini F2IV standard. GrayGarrison89 explicitly exclude 1 Mon as a standard star. There are no F2IV anchor points (Garrison94) Houk88 does not list a F2IV standard. # Primary Standards HD 24740 = HR 1218 = 32 Tau (J0356+2228) F2IV: Jaschek78(Cowley74),GrayGarrison89(low vsini stan),Gray89,Gray01(F2IVs) F0IV: Paunzen01 F3V: Adams35 F0: Cannon V=5.62, B-V=0.345+-0.004 (HIP).

Morgan flipflopped on luminosity class ("III" in MK43, "IV" in JM53, "III-IV" in MK78). Gray has consistently called it "F2III" in four publications, and considers it the "F2III" standard. I'm inclined to follow Gray and call it "F2III" HD 84999 = ups UMa = HR 3888 F2IV: JM53,Jaschek64(most),Peniche81 F2III: MK43 F0IV: Morgan72,GrayGarrison89 F0: Cannon A9IV: Abt85 Lots of disagreement in subtype and luminosity.

Negligible agreement among different investigators. Abt has been on three papers classifying this star - and all three types were different (F4IV,F3V,F3III). Quite possibly the worst choice of standard star -- ever.
