I/188 Tokyo Photoelectric Meridian Circle Catalog 1988 (Yoshizawa+ 1992)
================================================================================
The Tokyo PMC Catalog 88: Catalog of positions of 3800 stars observed
in 1988 and planetary positions observed in 1986 to 1988 with
Tokyo Photoelectric MEridian circle (PMC88)

ADC_Keywords: Meridian observations ; Positional data
Description:
The fourth annual catalog of the Tokyo PMC is presented for 3800 stars
(Part I and Part II) which had been observed at least two times in the
1988 period, that is, from January 1, 1988, to December 31, 1988. The
positions of the stars given in the catalog are those at the mean
epoch of observations. The coordinates of the catalog are based on the
FK5 system, and are referred to the equinox and equator of J2000.0.
The positions of five major and nine minor planets are also given in
the present catalog (Part III) for all individual observations made in
1986 to 1988. The planetary positions are based on the same coordinate
systems as those of the corresponding annual star catalogs, the Tokyo
PMC Catalogs 86, 87, and 88.
The mean trends of the observed positions - FK5 positions for the
basic FK5 stars are constructed and compared with those of the Tokyo
PMC Catalogs 86 and 87. As for the planets, their observed positions
are compared with the positions of the JPL's planetary ephemeris
DE200. We find that the ephemerides of the outermost planets, Uranus
and Neptune, have some systematic deviations of a few tenths of arcsec
in longitudes.

Historical Notes:
* 30-Sep-1991: the catalogue was supplied to CDS by Shiro Nishimura;
the reformatting of the data were carried out at 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,
for the pmc88 part.
