Interstellar Reddening in the Southern Hemisphere. II. Analysis of the uvby-Beta Observations
Photometric color excesses and distances plus heliocentric coordinatesare calculated for 3,762 southern A and early F stars. The presentresults, combined with those previously published for the northernhemisphere, complete the coverage of the spatial distribution ofinterstellar reddening in the entire solar neighborhood. The newreddening maps show that the interstellar matter within 300 pc of theSun forms a single very large cloud complex that is somewhatasymmetrical with respect to both the galactic center and the galacticplane. This complex is characterized by pronounced local irregularitiesin both density and spatial extent. The observations further indicatethat (1) the cloud complex is not associated with Gould's belt; (2)there exist large regions of the sky devoid of dust; (3) interstellarreddening is negligible at the galactic poles; (4) the role ofintercloud dust in the southern hemisphere; (5) the Sun is not locatedin a dust-free, spherically symmetric bubble as previously thought; and(6) the Sun is, however, located in an elongated dust-free region knownas the "local trough.".

Estimation of spectral classifications for bright southern stars with interesting Stromgren indices
This paper investigates the degree of success with which uvby photometrycan be applied to predict spectral classifications for 947 A, F, and Gstars brighter than an apparent magnitude of 8.3 and with four-colorindices indicating some kind of interesting, unusual, or peculiarspectrum. One or several possible spectral classifications are estimatedfor each star from photometry alone, double stars are distinguished, andthe estimates are compared with published classifications. The resultsshow that the framework provided by uvby photometry can be extended toinclude most G and K stars, reddened stars, peculiar stars, and certaintypes of double star.
