Description:
   The second annual catalog of the Tokyo Photoelectric Meridian
   Circle contains 3974 stars that were observed at least twice
   between 21 December 1985 and 31 December 1986. Specifically, it
   contains 1141 FK5 stars, 971 FK4 supplemental stars, 554 AGK3R
   stars, 403 OB stars, 421 NPZT stars, and 484 SAO stars. The
   positions are for the mean epoch of observation referred to the
   equinox and equator of J2000.0 and based on the FK5 system. The
   internal error of a single observation for the bright stars is
   0.24" and 0.27" in right ascension and declination, respectively.
   The catalog contains, in addition to the positions, the catalog
   from which the star is taken and the number in that catalog, the
   mean epoch and number of observations of each component of the
   position and of the magnitude, the spectral type, the V magnitude, 
   and the DM and AGK3 numbers. It also contains the residuals between
   the position in this catalog and that in the source catalog and
   mean errors for each component of the position and of the magnitude. 
   Note that a systematic error of the order of 0.1" exists in the FK5 
   positions for stars in the declination zone 40 - 60 degrees.

Historical Notes:
 * October 1990: Catalogue received at CDS
 * 01-Apr-1992: A new documentation (pmc86.doc) was received from the
   Astronomical Data Analysis Center of the National Astronomical
   Observatory, Japan.
 * 20-Feb-1996: Documentation standardized, using the same description
   as catalog I/198 by S. Nishimura [ADAC/NAOJ], from 01-Sept-1993
 * 08-Mar-1996: Documentation also standardized by J. Lyu at NASA/ADC.
 * 09-Jan-1997: Combined best of both documents.
