III/63B Revised Catalogue of Rotational Velocities (Uesugi+ 1982)

Revised Catalogue of Stellar Rotational Velocities

ADC_Keywords: Rotational velocities
Description:
The machine-readable "Revised Catalogue of Stellar Rotational
Velocities" provides mean v.sin(i) data on the old Slettebak system
(Slettebak 1949, 1954, 1955, 1956; Slettebak and Howard 1955) for 6472
stars. The catalog results from the review, analysis and
transformation of 11460 data from 102 sources. Included in the
computerized version are star identification (major catalog number,
name if the star has one, or cluster identification, etc.), a mean
projected rotational velocity, and a list of source references. This
version of the machine-readable catalog is comprehensive and
supersedes the earlier compilation of Uesugi and Fukuda (1970).

Historical Notes:
* October 1982, ADC/NSSDC (Wayne H. Warren Jr.)
A magnetic tape containing the "Revised Catalogue of Stellar
Rotational Velocities" was received from the Astronomical Data Center,
Japan, on 4 March 1983. Minor modifications, as described below, were
made to the data file in order to effect a more homogeneous format
consistent with other computerized catalogs.
1. The HD field contained a zero for every non-HD star; these were
converted to blanks.
2. The abbreviations "BD", "CD", and "CP" were added to
Durchmusterung (DM) numbers where they were absent. The
abbreviation CP already occurred for CPD stars in the zones
-22 degrees to -52 degrees where CD numbers are ordinarily
used (following the HD convention). An unknown character (not
in the published version) occurred in the Name field after all
zone numbers for DM identifications. All occurrences of this
character were changed to blanks.
* October 1991: catalogue prepared (Lee E. Brotzmann) for the
"Selected Astronomical Catalogs" Vol. 1 CD-ROM, directory:
/spectro/rotvel
* September 1995: catalogue documentation standardized at CDS
Acknowledgments:
Appreciation is expressed to K. Sadakane of Osaka University for
personally transmitting our request for a copy of the tape to the
Astronomical Data Center, Japan, and to Y. Terashita and A. Hayashi
for preparing and supplying the magnetic tape.
