Description:
    The radial-velocity observations were made during the years 1989-1997
    with the photoelectric scanner CORAVEL (Mayor, 1985IAUCo..88...35M) on
    the Danish 1.54-m telescope at ESO, La Silla. The individual mean
    errors given are computed from the measured S/N ratio and the shape of
    the cross-correlation profile (see Sect. 2.2 of this paper).
