AbstractWe use the CCD cameras of the 61-cm UTSO and the 90-cm Dutch telescopes of the Las Campanas and European Southern Observatories respectively in order to perform UBV photometry of visual double stars.Our sample contains southern visual binaries with A–type (470 pairs) and G–type primaries (170 pairs), which have angular separations mainly between 1″.5 and 5″. The double stars of our sample have been selected from the WDS according to their astrophysical interest and the technological limits of contemporary CCDs.

With the introduction of CCD detectors, it now appears feasible to obtain accurate photometric data for each of the components of close visual double stars with an angular separations between 1 and 12″.

Complementary accurate photometric data with astrophysical content are needed for a well-chosen sample of binaries and multiple systems for which good-quality astrometric data already exist or will soon be available. The observational programme, started in the context of the European Network of Laboratories “Visual Double Stars” (Oblak et al. 1992), is therefore based on samples extracted from the “Catalogue des Composantes d’Etoiles Doubles et Multiples” (CCDM, Dommanget, 1989) and reported in Annex 1 (Double and Multiple Systems) of the HIPPARCOS Input Catalogue (C. Turon et al. 1992).Systems with components in the HIPPARCOS Input Catalogue are selected for which the present photometric information is poor, i.e. not all components have been observed or they have colour indices and/or magnitudes of insufficient quality for extraction of astrophysical quantities (Figure 1).Observations, performed in various observatories located in both hemispheres, must yield both classical and CCD photometric campaigns.

There are certain visual double stars which, when close to a node of their relative orbit, should have enough radial velocity difference (10-20 km/s) that the spectra of the two component stars will appear resolved on high-dispersion spectrograms (5 Å/mm or less) obtainable by use of modern coudé and solar spectrographs on bright stars. Both star images are then recorded simultaneously on the spectrograph slit, so that two stellar components will appear on each spectrogram.
