III/4       Bibliography of Stellar Radial Velocities (Abt+ 1972)
================================================================================
Bibliography of Stellar Radial Velocities
    Abt H.A., Biggs E.S.
    <Kitt Peak National Obs., Tucson (1972)>
================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Bibliography; Radial velocities

Description:
   The data file contains a bibliography of 44,000 references for radial 
   velocities of about 25,000 stars. The individual volumes listed in Table 1 
   of the Introduction were surveyed for published radial velocities. The 
   authors estimate that 99 percent of stellar radial velocities published by
   June 1970 are contained in the surveyed volumes. Each record includes star 
   name, HR and HD identifications, RA and Dec (1900), visual magnitude, 
   spectral type, mean velocity corrected for terrestrial motion, number of 
   measures, reference and remarks.
