I- and JHK-band photometry of classical Cepheids in the HIPPARCOS catalog

By correlating the Fernie et al. (1995) electronic database on Cepheids wit h the "resolved variable catalog" of the HIPPARCOS mission and the SIMBAD c atalog one finds that there are 280 Cepheids in the HIPPARCOS catalog. By r emoving W Vir stars (Type II Cepheids), double-mode Cepheids, Cepheids with an unreliable solution in the HIPPARCOS catalog, and stars without photome try, it turns out that there are 248 classical Cepheids left, of which 32 a re classified as first-overtone pulsators. For these stars the literature w as searched for I-band and near-infrared data. Intensity-mean I-band photom etry on the Cousins system is derived for 189 stars, and intensity-mean JHK data on the Carter system is presented for 69 stars.
