III/21      General Catalogue of Stellar Radial Velocities (Wilson 1953)
================================================================================
General Catalogue of Stellar Radial Velocities
    Wilson R.E.
    <Carnegie Inst. Washington Publ. 601 (1953)>
================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Radial velocities

Description:
   The machine-readable catalog is a corrected version of the original
   published one.  It contains the radial velocities of 15106 galactic stars.
   This is more than twice the number of stars in the Moore catalog, which was
   the standard reference for radial velocities previously.  The standard
   system adopted is that based on the Lick III-prism observations.  The
   catalog includes right ascension and declination (B1950.0), visual
   magnitudes, proper motions, spectral types, galactic coordinates, and cross
   identifications to the numbering systems of the Boss General Catalogue and
   The Henry Draper Catalogue.
