Catalogue of Geneva Photometric Boxes

Introduction: The Geneva photometric boxes, or Golay's boxes, are based on the Geneva 7-colour photometry contained in Rufener's 3rd Catalogue (Cat. II/72).

For a given star S measured in the Geneva photometry, the strict [0.01] box is the set of stars S' whose colours are all equal to those of S within 0.01mag; S is called the central star, and the S' are the member stars of the [0.01] box of S. Only the boxes containing at least 2 elements (including S) are considered. Other definitions of the photometric boxes are used. For instance, the "0.01" box of S contains the stars S' having |dU|=|U(S)-U(S')}<=0.02, and all other colours |dV|, |dB1|, |dB2|, |dV1| and |dG| all <=0.01.
