Description:
    The catalog contains the ultraviolet photometry of 531 stars observed
    with the Wisconsin Experiment Package aboard the Orbiting Astronomical
    Observatory (OAO-2). The data were obtained with medium-band
    interference filters and have been reduced to a uniform magnitude
    system. The ultraviolet magnitudes contained in the catalog have been
    published by Code et al. (1980). While the published tables contain 11
    tabulated magnitudes, the machine version includes a twelfth filter
    (S2F2 at 2945 A). The catalog includes cross identifications to the
    numbering systems of the Bright Star Catalogue, The Henry Draper
    Catalogue, and the GC, star name, spectral type, V magnitude, B-V,
    U-B, references, remarks, and 12 ultraviolet magnitudes. The effective
    wavelengths (for a flat spectrum source) are 4250A, 3320A, 2980A,
    2965A, 2460A, 2380A, 2035A, 1910A, 1680A, 1550A, 1430A, and 1330A. For
    most filters, the full width, half maximum is about 30% of the central
    wavelength.

Nomenclature Notes:
History:
  * From Wayne H. Warren, January 1982, NSSDC/WDC-A-R&S 82-02:
    The Catalog of OAO 2 Filter Photometry was received on magnetic tape
    from the Space Astronomy Laboratory, University of Wisconsin, in
    August 1981. A format description of the Wisconsin tape and a listing
    of the tape contents were received simultaneously. The following
    modifications were made to the catalog format in order to save storage
    space and to make the records easier to process:

    1. The Wisconsin tape contained two card images (160 bytes) per star.
       Elimination of unused bytes and sequence numbers assigned to the
       original observed objects, and merging of the card images to a
       single logical record per star resulted in the present 132-byte
       record length.

    2. HD and HR numbers were left justified in the catalog as received.
       They were converted to right justified integers so that they can
       be read properly with an integer format specification.

    3. The spectral types field was expanded from 11 bytes to 13 bytes
       (to allow for spacing and uniformity) and temperature classes and
       subclasses always occur in bytes 27 and 28-30, respectively. The
       Mt.  Wilson and W (Wolf- Rayet) prefixes were moved so that they
       always occur in bytes 25-26 (the Mt. Wilson luminosity types and
       other normally lower case characters have been converted from
       upper to lower case). The spectral type for HD197989 (e Cyg),
       which is K0- III, was changed from K0 III to K0 -III.

    4. The HD number for V1357 Cyg (Cyg X-1) was changed from E226868
       to 226868 to eliminate the character from the HD field and to make
       it uniform. Certain Durchmusterung numbers, which were incomplete,
       were completed and made uniform within the star name field.

    5. One byte following each ultraviolet magnitude field was preserved
       and those magnitudes having colons in Table 2 of Code, Holm and
       Bottemiller (1980) were appended with colons in the
       machine-readable catalog.
