The peculiar Be star HD 45677. I. Photometric observations

This short paper presents previously unpublished, as well as new, photometric observations of the peculiar B(e) star HD 45677. The photometric measurements were made in the Walraven WULBV ,S truvby, Johnson/Cousins UBV(RI)C and the ESO JHKLM photometric systems between 1977 and 1994. Together with all the previously published photometry, these data will be analyzed in a separate paper, which will also investigate the spectroscopic behaviour of this fascinating object.
