ADC_Keywords: Clusters, open ; Stars, flare

Description:
    The original catalog lists the flare stars discovered by different
    astronomical observatories over an area slightly larger than 20 square
    degrees in the Pleiades regions centered on Alcyone. Not all the flare
    stars are members of this cluster, membership indicators are provided
    in the catalog.

    The catalog, combining Tables 1 and 2 of the publication, gives the
    data for 1531 flares of 519 flare stars.

Nomenclature Notes:
    The flare stars from this paper (column "TonF" in the "catalog" file)
    are found in the literature as "Ton", or "HCG", which are both
    ambiguous.

Historical Notes:
    The electronic version of the Tonantzintla catalogue of the
    Pleiades flare stars was prepared by M.K. Tsvetkov, K.Y. Stavrev,
    and K.P. Tsvetkova, at the Department of Astronomy and National
    Astronomical Observatory, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia,
    in June 1987. This standardized documentation has beed added at CDS,
    in May 1996.
