Hot carbon stars B-V colour excess

Table 3 contains our hot carbon stars (HC)-classification (see section 2.2 in the paper) for 119 hot carbon stars and their colour excess E(B-V) as determined by the method described in section 2.3. The analogous data for 21 peculiar stars (RCB variables, AC Her [a RV Tau star], V553 Cen [a class II-Cepheid] etc...) can be found in Table 4: most of them have an oxygen-type classification.
