ABSTRACT

Photoelectric photometry in BVRI colors has been obtained for 61 stars in the region surrounding the Hyades cluster. Almost all stars observed here were found by Giclas or Luyten to possess proper motions resembling those of confirmed Hyades members. They cover the ranges between 0.6 and 1.7 in (B-V) and 0.2 and 1.3 in (R-I) and are thus mostly late G, K, and early M stars. Of these 61 stars, only 24 are found to be probable members and five are found to be possible members from their positions in either the V,(B-V) or V,(R-I) diagrams. Nonetheless, these probable members enrich the cluster well beyond the list of Pels, Oort, and Pels-Kluyver, especially in its southwestern quadrant.
