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.
