Description:
The catalog is a compilation from the literature of all O-type stars
for which spectral types, luminosity classes, and UBV photometry
exist. The catalog contains 765 stars, for each of which designation
(HD, DM, etc.), spectral type, V, B-V, absolute visual magnitude,
absolute bolometric magnitude, cluster membership, distance, galactic
coordinates, and source references are given. In addition, the
authors have included derived values of absolute visual and bolometric
magnitudes, and distances.
The Catalog of Galactic O-Type Stars (Garmany, Conti and Chiosi 1982)
is a compilation from the literature of all O-type stars for which
spectral types, luminosity classes and UBV photometry exist. Most of
the entries come from Cruz-Gonzalez, et al. (1974) and Humphreys
(1978), with additional stars from Garrison and Kormendy (1976),
Garrison, Hiltner and Schild (1977), Garrison and Schild (1979),
Feinstein, Marraco and Muzzio (1973), Feinstein, Marraco and Forte
(1976), and Moffat, FitzGerald and Jackson (1979).

together properly. Alternate format specifications are given in
parentheses.

either 63 A/mm or 79 A/mm spectra taken at Kitt Peak National
Observatory. Blank if spectral type was taken from the literature.

Note on V, B-V:

temperature scale and Morton's (1969) bolometric corrections as a

Note on Dist:
Distance computed from star's distance modulus, assuming an
interstellar absorption of A(V)=3E(B-V).
Note on GLONd, GLATd, GLONm, GLATm:
The galactic longitude and lattitude are given in whole degrees and
arc minutes rather than the frequently used decimal degrees. The sign
of the Galactic lattitude is always in byte 68.
Note on r_ID:
The following list are references for the codes for primary source,
additional cluster membership, additional spectral types, and
additional photometry. The additional sources were generally used
in cases where the data were missing or inadequate in the primary
source or where there is disagreement among the papers consulted.

Remarks, Modifications, Acknowledgments and References:
The Catalog of Galactic O-Type Stars was received on magnetic tape
from Dr. C. D. Garmany of the University of Colorado on April 15,
1982. The following modifications were made to the format in order to
make the star designations uniform (so that the file can be sorted by
star name if desired) and to make the data records more homogeneous
and easier to process by other users.
1.The B-V data were made uniform by attaching preceding zeros where
they were not present and by moving minus signs so that they always
occur in byte 65.
2.Minus signs for the bolometric magnitude field were moved in order
to always occur in byte 47.
3.Cluster and association membership codes had been written as -0 if
not present. These were changed to blanks.
4.Signs were attached to all Galactic latitude values, uniformly in
byte 68.
5.Source codes of 0 were changed to blanks so that the string of
codes in bytes 75-78 contains digits only where reference codes
are present.
6.The star designation field was expanded to 18 bytes so that the
identifications could be made uniform. The format was then changed by
preparing a separate data set containing only the identifiers and
editing all designations to contain catalog or cluster specifications
in bytes 1-8, star numbers in bytes 9-16, and component
identifications in bytes 17-18. The modified designation fields were
then substituted back into the data file. A sort of the catalog by
star designation will now yield a data set with all similar
designations together and properly ordered.
7.The asterisk signifying a new spectral classification made by the
authors, formerly appearing at the beginning of a record, was moved to
byte 19.
8.Three duplicate entries were removed after carefully checking,
confirming their redundancy, and notifying the first author.
9.The blanks in byte 48 and byte 69 were replaced by zero's. (1994/11/14)
