The Vilnius photometric system was developed for photometric two-dimensional classification of stars and for the determination of interstellar reddening. The system consists of seven magnitudes U, P, X, Y, Z, V and S with mean wavelengths of 345, 375, 405, 466, 516, 544 and 655 nm and half-widths of the order 20 – 30 nm (Straižys 1977). Later on the system was successfully used for the determination of temperatures and the metallicities of halo stars (Bartkevičius and Sperauskas 1983).
