III/17B Early-Type Emission-Line Stars (Wackerling 1970)
================================================================================
Catalogue of Early-Type Stars Whose Spectra Have Shown Emission Lines
Wackerling L.R.
<Mem. Roy. Astron. Soc. 73, 153 (1970)>
=1970MmRAS..73..153W
================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Stars, emission ; Stars, early-type ; Stars, Be
Description:
The catalog contains 5326 early-type emission-line stars. Of these,
1424 have no spectral classification but are assumed to be of early
type. Some 71 percent of the stars listed here can also be found in the
Mount Wilson and the Mount Wilson-Michigan survey catalogs. The
catalog contains numerous cross identifications to other designations
(name, HD, DM, LS, MWC, TON, HIL, WRA, HEN, etc.), spectroscopic type,
magnitudes (visual and blue), equatorial (B1900 and B1950), and
galactic coordinates.
