Description:
  The published report was prepared by R. T. Hall (1974) for the 
  Space and Missile systems Organization, Air Force System Command. 
  The machine version includes a 10-micrometer catalog number, object 
  name, right ascension and declination (B1950), galactic coordinates 
  (B1950), proper motions, spectral types, magnitudes in the V (0.55 
  micrometers), I (0.84 mu), K (2.2 mu) and N (10 mu) bands, flux 
  measurements at 10 mu, and cross identifications to the numbering 
  systems of the Durchmusterung catalogs, the SAO catalog, the Bright 
  Star Catalogue, The Henry Draper Catalogue and the GC, and CalTech 
  Two-Micron Sky Survey (Neugebauer and Leighton, 1969) where such 
  identifications exist.

Note on Name:
 Star name hierarchy
  (1) Bayer Greek alphabetic notation
  (2) Argelander variable star notation
  (3) Flamsteed number
  (4) Bayer Roman alphabetic notation
  (used as little as possible because of
  lowercase letters)
  (5) Other notation
  Greek letters mu and nu are spelled muu and
  nuu to eliminate confusion with Argelander
  variable star notation.

Note on Flux_m1, Flux_m2 and Flux_m3:
  The  original Flux measurements (x 10^(-16) W/cm2 /micron) are
  given, separated by commas. Also, units of original measurement
  and filter band used are given. If no letter or letters follow 
  a given, value, then original value has units of W/cm2 /micron.

  The letter designations have the following meanings:
  A. Original measurement expressed in magnitude
  B. Original measurement expressed in W/m2 /Hz
  C. Original measurement made with N (Prime) filter
  D. Original measurement made with O filter
  E. N-filter value obtained by interpolation
     between N (prime) and O measurements
  F. Original measurement made with 10 micron filter
  G. Original measurement made with 10.1 micron filter
  H. Original measurement made with 10.2 micron filter
  I. Original measurement made with 10.7 micron filter
  J. Original measurement made with 11.0 micron filter
  K. Original measurement made with 11.5  micron filter
  L. Original measurement made with 12-14 micron filter
                           
History:                         
  The catalogue of 10 micron Celestial Objects was a published report
  by R. T. Hall (Aerospace Corporation) for the Space and Missile 
  System Organization (report number SAMSO-TR-74-212) in 1974. The
  catalogue was received in card deck form from Hall through the
  National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at NASA/GSFC. The 
  catalogue was transferred to magnetic tape with an equal number of 
  bytes for each record and changing some special symbols as 
  described below.

Modifications and Remarks:
  This document includes the original ADC documentation of this catalog
  prepared by Theresa A. Nagy. 
         
  Several special characters which are not part of the IBM 360 print 
  chain were changed to correspond with the print chain available on
  the IBM 360 series at NASA/GSFC.

  Punch Code       Punch Code   Symbol
  Original Card    Tape Version Tape Version

  12-0             12-4-8       <
  12-4-8           12-4-8       <

  12               12-6-8       +
         
  Quantities in the flux/micron (x10-16) field which have any of 
  the symbols (<, <=) should have in the N magnitude field the 
  corresponding opposite relation (>, >=), respectively. In the 
  hard copy of the catalogue there were several pairs which did 
  not have such a one-to-one correspondence, and the following
  changes were made to correct this situation, assuming in all 
  cases that the relationship associated with the flux/micron 
  value was the "correct" relationship.
                                
  Ten-Micron        N                  N
  Catalogue Number  Printed Catalogue  Tape Version

  060011            3.17               >3.17

  010301            7.30               >7.30
         
  All of the entries preceded by the symbol "<" in the tape version
  of the catalogue include those which should be preceded by either
  the "<" symbol or the "<=" symbol. Since the latter symbol is not
  available in the print chain on the computer used here at 
  NASA/GSFC, the symbol "<" includes both cases. The following is 
  a list of the ten-micron sources where the value of flux/micron
  should be preceded by a "<=" sign.

  000412    020941    090692     120181     170051  191011

  010321    080331    120122     130231     180981
  010322    081341    120123     130421     181132
         
  Similarly, all of the above entries should include the equality with the ">"
  symbol in the N magnitude field.

  The catalog was reformatted in April 1995 where the implicit
  decimal point was made explicit. Special symbols were separated
  from the data values and excessive blank columns were removed.
