I/206 Bright Stars Supplement to PPM (Bastian+ 1993)
================================================================================
The Bright Stars Supplement to the PPM and PPM South Catalogue, Revised Edition
Bastian U., Roeser S.
<Astronomisches Rechen-Institut, Heidelberg (1993)>
================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Positional data ; Proper motions
Description:
A number of bright stars is missing from the PPM Star Catalogue, both
on the northern <I/146> and on the southern <I/193> hemisphere. The
Bright Stars Supplement described here makes PPM complete down to
V=7.5 mag. For this purpose it lists all missing stars brighter than
V=7.6 mag that we could find in published star lists. Their total
number is 275. Only 2 of them are brighter than V=3.5. This replaces
the December 1992 edition (catalogue I/194) of the Bright Stars
Supplement which inadvertently contained 46 duplicates of stars
already contained in the main parts of PPM.

Acknowledgement:
The original ReadMe was prepared by Joseph Florsch of the CDS and
modified by Gail Schneider of the ADC. The version of the catalog
that this described omitted the DM and SAO numbers, although there
were spaces left for them. These were inserted by Wayne H. Warren,
Jr, We thank Dr. Warren for forwarding his improved version to us.
The original version also had several columns that were copied from
the basic PPM catalog that did not contain useful information in this
version. These have now been removed.
