  Various dedicated satellite projects are underway or in advanced stages of
planning to perform high-precision, long duration time series photometry of
stars, with the purpose of using the frequencies of stellar oscillations to put
new constraints on the internal structure of stars. It is known (cf. Brown, et
al. 1994) that the effectiveness of oscillation frequencies in constraining
stellar model parameters is significantly higher if classical parameters such
as effective temperature, and luminosity are known with high precision. In
order to optimize asteroseismic campaigns it is therefore useful to select
targets from among candidates for which good spectroscopic and astrometric data
already exists. This paper presents selection criteria, as well as
redeterminations of stellar luminosity and reddening for stars satisfying these
criteria.
