ADC_Keywords: Positional data ; Proper motions
Description:
The various volumes of the Yale Zone Catalogues have been combined
into a single, homogeneous, machine-readable volume, sorted by
position, containing the information common to most of the volumes.
Additional data are provided in separate files. The notes have been
transcribed into a machine-readable form. Errors detected in the
course of the preparation of the catalogue, as well as previously
known errors, have been corrected, and supplementary data have been
added.
Introduction:
In the late 1920s Yale University Observatory started to photograph
the sky in large fields to determine positions and proper motions for
stars in the Astronomische Gesellschaft (AG) zones. Most of the sky
has now been measured and the positions and proper motions published
in various volumes of the Transactions of the Yale University
Observatory. Because the preparation of these volumes extended over a
44-year period, the format and the contents changed with the time.
Hence, it appeared desirable for the ADC to create a single, uniform
catalog that would contain most of the information and could be
accessed by right ascension as well as by declination.
Most of the printed volumes are arranged by AG number. These numbers
are retained with the addition of a two-letter abbreviation to
indicate the AG volume from which the number is taken. Because some
stars lack an AG number, a running number also has been added for each
volume and it is the running number, preceded by the volume number,
which is used for references to notes and other tables and files. The
remaining volumes, in the far south, retain their original running
numbers.

Note on yale00.dat, yale04.dat, yale08.dat, yale12.dat, yale16.dat, yale20.dat:
These catalogs contain the data fields in common to most of the catalog
volumes. The files north.dat, equator.dat, s50_30.dat, s70_60.dat, and
south.dat contain data unique to their respective ranges.
Note on change.dat:
change.dat lists the changes between the original USNO tapes and the
current machine-readable version. All changes have resulted from work at
the Astronomical Data Center either during the analysis of this
catalogue or the analysis of the SAO catalogue except for the changes to
records: 28 3423, 29 9575, and 19 3330, which are from Parsons (1977);
221 144 and 19 75, for which the errors were pointed out by D. Dunham
(private communication); and 18 108, 19 5005, 20 2533, 21 5233, 21 5234,
and 262 4749, which are included in Bischoff (1972). In Trans. Astron.
Observ. Yale Univ. 30, a number of DM numbers are given incorrectly in
the main table, but the notes state that they should be changed in Perth.
These DM numbers are corrected in the integrated catalogue and
the corrections are repeated in the notes but are not listed in
change.dat.

Note on ID:
Throughout this document and the data files that it describes, records
are identified by the eight-byte number consisting of the volume number,
the volume part (or blank), and the running number within the part
(i.e., the first eight bytes of these records). In other tables, this
eight-byte number is simply called the "star number".
Note on n_ID:
Information not provided in the original note has been added.
"Not in the WDS" is always an addition but is not marked.

letter has been entered for a pair of stars with the
same DM number, which is not in the Washington Double
Star Catalog, no additional information is provided.
All other changes are listed in change.dat.
A All The star is in the New General Catalogue of Double Stars
(Aitkin 1932) (ADS), but the number is not given in the
notes.
m 13 The spectral type has been determined by Miss Cannon.
m 14 The spectral type was determined by Mrs. Mayall.
g 17 The spectral type was determined by Dr. Goedicke.
v 18,19,20, The spectrum and magnitudes are from the Leander
21,22 McCormick Observatory.
a 24 The star is in the appendix of the Cambridge AG Catalog,
page 299.
c 24 The star is not in the Cambridge AG Catalog but was
added to fill sparse regions.
e 24 The position from the Greenwich 1910 Catalogue was not
used.
r 24 The star is not in the Greenwich 1910 Catalogue.
: 24 The star is not in the Second Catalogue of the
Astronomischen Gesellschaft (AG2). The positions are
derived from the Trans. Astron. Obs. Yale Univ. 9 but
reduced to the FK3 system.
c 25 The star is not in the Berlin B Catalog but was added to
help fill sparse regions. No proper motions are given
for these stars. The magnitude is from the BD.
* 25 The proper motion is derived from the mean of the
positions in Trans. Astron. Obs. Yale Univ. 10 and the
AG2.
Y 25 The star is not in the AG2; the proper motions are from
Yale only.
* 261 The proper motion depends only on the Yale position and
the position for the epoch 1930.
Q 28,29,30 Only a single plate was measured.
Y 28,29,30 The proper motion is based on Yale only.
H 30 The star is in both the GC and in Luyten's Bruce Proper
Motion Survey (1938 1941).
L 30 The star is in the Bruce Proper Motion Survey.

The photographic magnitude as given in the published catalogue or as
derived from the visual magnitude plus the color index. A magnitude
of 30.0 indicates that the star is variable.
Note on Sp:
The spectral type as given in the printed volume. "Cmp" indicates
that the spectrum is composite; additional information is usually
given in the notes. Hoffleit (private communication) points out that
many A-type stars listed with two different HD numbers, indicating a
composite, are actually Am stars Sp cat
Note on cat:
BD = Bonner or Southern Durchmusterung
CD = Cordoba Durchmusterung
CP = Cape Photographic Durchmusterung
ME = Melbourne Astrographic Catalogue
Note on cat_no:
The DM and ME designations are in the same field. The format for the DM
designations is:
65-67 I3 --- DM_zone DM zone
68-72 I5 DM_no DM number
73 A1 DM_comp DM component
Note on DM_comp:
If two or more records have the same DM number, a letter appears in
this byte to distinguish the components. If the system is in the WDS,
the same component letters are added as in that catalogue and no
other indication of the change is given; otherwise, the brighter or
western star is labeled A and an indication is given either by C in
byte 9 or in the notes that the star is not in the WDS.
The Melbourne Astrographic Catalogue number is in the form PPPPNNNN,
where PPPP stands for a four- digit plate number, and NNNN stands for a
four- DM digit number for the star on that plate. Number In the form
SZZNNNNN. Where S is the sign, ZZ the zone, and NNNN the sequential
number within the zone.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note on pl:
Eighteen two-digit numbers identifying plates on which images were
measured. If the number measured is less than 18, a zero fill is used
for blank fields.
Note on n_ID:
For the vast majority of stars, the positions were derived directly in
the reduction. For these stars, the field star code is "0". If the star
appears on only one plate for which no reference position data are
available, the position has been derived from the plate constants for
the plate on which it appears (i.e., the classical method). For these
stars, the field star code is "1".
Note on n_pm:
A = Proper motion taken directly from the CPC, because the star does not
occur in the La Plata catalogs. This value is given only for
convenience. It is not on the same system as the other proper
motions. It should not be used in any statistical treatment of the
material.
B = The proper motion is derived from the difference between the Yale
and La Plata positions.
C = The proper motions are also derived from the difference between
the Yale and the La Plata positions, but the latter is a mean
of two values in overlapping zones. The epoch for the position
is also the mean of those for the two zones.
D = The La Plata position is from the NFK (Peters 1907) and is not on
the system of the La Plata catalog. Thus, the proper motion is
derived from the NFK and Yale positions.
E = The star appears on both Yale (1942) and Sydney (1962) plates. The
proper motion is from the difference in position between these
plates.
F = The proper motion is from the difference between the mean of the
Yale and Sydney positions and the La Plata position.

Acknowledgments:
We thank E. Dorrit Hoffleit for assistance from time to time throughout
the preparation of this integrated catalogue, both in explaining some
areas of confusion and in checking the accuracy of certain data. We also
thank David Herald for calling our attention to the erroneous magnitudes
in 32, Part II, and H. Jahreiss and T. Corbin for checking the positions
of several stars in various other catalogues. The SIMBAD data bank of
the Centre de Donnees Astronomiques de Strasbourg was helpful,
particularly for correcting the magnitudes in Trans. Astron. Obs. Yale
Univ. 32, Part II. This is derived from doc.txt, also prepared by the
undersigned.
