There are two large sets of high precision standard star photometry which claim to represent the UBV(RI)c system, one in the E regions in the south established by Cousins and one at the equator due to Landolt. There appear to be systematic differences between them. Astrophysical interpretations which depend on photometric data may in consequence depend on which set of standards was used.
