In my earlier work (Nandy, 1977) I have described an ultraviolet photometric system which involves a two dimensional stellar classification. This system is based on constructing broad band (Δλ ≈ 100 Å) ultraviolet colors (m2700 - V), (m2190 -m2740) and (m1500 - V) from the low dispersion S2/68 spectra. This photometric system is suited ideally to extend the classification to stars fainter than V = 6m.0, because the spectral features as described by the previous speaker, A. Cucchiaro, are not easily identifiable in these spectra.
