\begin{table}%t4 \caption {\label{tab:photJ0929}Results of PSF-photometry of XTE J0929$-$314.} %\centerline {\begin{tabular}{ccccc} \hline\hline Filter &${\lambda}_{\rm c}$& Mean magnitude & $A_{\lambda}$ & Absolute mag \\ & (\AA) & & (mag) & \\ \hline $V$ & 5270 & $28.2 \pm 0.4$& $0.46 \pm 0.02$ & $13.2 \pm 0.4$ \\ $R$ & 6440 & $27.1 \pm 0.3$& $0.36 \pm 0.02$ & $12.3 \pm 0.3$ \\ $I$ & 7980 & $26.9 \pm 0.4$& $0.28 \pm 0.02$ & $12.1 \pm 0.4$ \\ \hline \end{tabular}} \par \smallskip Values in column three are uncorrected for reddening. In column four we list the reddening parameters used to correct our optical photometry computed assuming $E(B-V)=0.15 \pm 0.02$~mag. The absolute magnitudes are computed assuming a distance of 8~kpc (Wijnands et~al. 2005; see Sect.~4.1.1 for details). \end{table}
