II/199A     Radio continuum emission form stars (Wendker, 1995)

Radio continuum emission from stars: a catalogue update

Contents:
    The following catalogue is an updated and changed version of the
    one first published in Abh.Hamburger Sternw. 1978, Vol.10, p 1ff.
    (CDS Catalogue II/129)
    A second version was contained in: Astron.Astrophys.Suppl. 1987,
    Vol.69, p 87 and microfiches (CDS Catalogue II/147).

    The basic concept of the earlier versions is preserved, namely one
    entry per star per frequency per paper. Space is now provided,
    however, to add more informations. These may be of technical or
    astronomical nature. Usually month and year of observation and the
    number of independent data points or length of monitoring session
    are given.

    All radio data are preceded by a header which contains information
    on the star or stellar system. (Note, that a physical stellar
    system is regarded as one single entry and that comments
    pertaining to individual components are found directly behind the
    observational data). Stellar data like names, position, proper
    motion, magnitudes and spectroscopic types are given in fixed
    format in a self-explanatory fashion. It is tried to have typical
    values from commonly available references. It is not intended to
    compete here with other compilations. These header informations
    are collected when the star is entered for the first time. They
    are only changed when new values are available while additional
    radio refences are added. An arbitrarily expandable section for
    unformatted text finishes the header. Finally, the units of the
    radio data remain in MHz (1.column) and mJy (2. and 3. columns).
    All coordinates refer to epoch and equinox 1950.0 (e.g. B1950).

    This is a so-called merged version e.g. all stars, those detected
    at least ones and those with upper limits only, are listed in
    order of ascending right ascension. The detected stars are marked
    with a "D" in the outermost right hand column in lines 1 to 5.

    The last updating occurred on 1994-Jul-01. In this version stars
    have new running numbers.

Description:
 Radio data
  (1) Frequency in MHz
  (2) Maximun flux density in mJy
  (3) Minimun flux density in mJy. if =0, only one observation was made or the
        emission was steady
  (4) Code number of the reference
  (5) Remarks pertaining to the individual observations

Historical Notes:
  * 08-Dec-1994: stored as received
  * 08-Feb-1995: the file "stars" is generated from "catalog" with positions
    and identifications of all 3021 stars
  * 26-Nov-1998: corrected file "stars.dat", several identifications found
    in error.
