KK9V JM53, Houk75, KeenanMcNeil76, Keenan85, Keenan85, Kirkpatrick91, Henry02 do not list any K9V standards. Skiff08 does not flag any stars as K9V MK standards. Pecaut13 standard: HIP 3261 [K9V following Gray06] Keenan84 does not list K9 as a full subtype like K5 and M0, and "other possible subdivisions are utilized only for interpolation whenever we think that we can classify accurately enough to justify their use. Thus when we call a star G3 we mean only that it is closer to G2 than to G5." Gray01/03/06 classify 13 stars are K9V, and 11 have useful BVI colors in HIP.
