(1992AJ....103.1987B, BPSII) is given. Most of these stars have [Fe/H]&lt;=2.5. These photometric data have been taken and reduced using the same techniques as in our previous two uvby-{beta} catalogues (Schuster et al., 1989, Cat. &lt;II/180&gt; and Schuster et al., 1993, Cat. &lt;J/A+AS/97/951&gt;). An error analysis has been made; typical mean observational errors for a star with V=14.2m are 0.008, 0.007, 0.011, 0.010 and 0.012 in V, (b-y), m_1_, c_1_ and {beta}, respectively. Our photometric data are also compared to the UBV photometry and spectral indices from the HK survey; satisfactory agreement is found indicating good quality for the two data sets. The stars are classified in reddening-free diagrams of the uvby-{beta} system; several of the stars are found to have been mis-classified in the HK survey. Two metal-poor supergiants, three (possibly four) horizontal branch stars, one blue subluminous star and two stars with ambiguous photometry have been identified. Stellar parameters, such as E(b-y), M_V_, {delta}M_V_, and T_eff_, plus error estimates for these parameters, are provided using our photometric calibrations. Although all stars have galactic latitudes |b|&gt;=30{deg} many of them are significantly reddened with E(b-y) ranging from 0.02 to 0.15. The average reddening towards the South Galactic Pole region, b&lt;-60{deg}, is E(b-y)=0.027+/-0.004 corresponding to E(B-V)=0.036+/-0.005 in contrast to the low value of E(B-V)~0.01 derived from the Burstein &amp; Heiles (1982AJ.....87.1165B) maps. The stars are analyzed in the (b-y)_0_, [Fe/H] diagram, and individual ages estimated using the isochrones of VandenBerg &amp; Bell (1985ApJS...58..561V) and of Bergbusch &amp; VandenBerg (1992ApJS...81..163B). These very metal-poor stars are found to be coeval, within 1-2Gyr, with the halo and thick-disk stars studied previously, with a mean age in excess of 18Gyr. Several blue "thick-disk" stars, which are perhaps analogous to the "blue metal-poor" stars of Preston et al. (1994, Cat. &lt;J/AJ/108/538&gt;), have been identified.</description><source format="bibcode">1996A&amp;AS..117..317S</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+AS/117/317</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/II/180">II/180 : uvby-beta photometry of metal-poor stars.
