Catalogue of blue stars between the Magellanic Clouds.
Abstract
We present a list of 1679 blue stars located in a region of the southern sky between the Magellanic Clouds. Equatorial coordinates and photographic V and B - V are given for stars brighter than V = 18.5. The instrumental magnitudes obtained from UKST IIIa-J and IIIa-F plates are calibrated with nearly two hundred stars with CCD B and V observations. This list can be used for follow-up identification, spatial distribution and other studies of young OB stars belonging to the Magellanic Clouds.
