Description:
The NPM1 Catalog provides absolute proper motions, positions, and
photographic photometry, measured in the Lick Northern Proper Motion
(NPM) program, for some 149,000 stars in the magnitude range 8 < B <
18 mag. covering the sky outside the Milky Way north of 23 deg
declination. The NPM1 Cross-Identifications file provides some 42,000
cross-identifications between the NPM1 Catalog numbers and star
names, stellar type classifications, and publication references.
These additional data, extracted from the Lick Input Catalog of
Special Stars, facilitate many practical uses of the NPM1 Catalog.
Six Appendices to the NPM1 Catalog provide references, footnotes,
and other useful information.
