III/67A Catalogue of Be stars (Jaschek+, 1982)
================================================================================
Calalog of Be Stars

================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Stars, Be
Description:
The catalog is a compilation of about 1100 Be stars. The definition of a
Be star in the catalog is that of a non-supergiant B star that has shown
emission in one Balmer line at least once. For this reason, with one
exception, all stars for which no MK classification exists have been
excluded, as have planetary nebulae and spectroscopic binaries. It is
important to note that MK types are established in a wavelength region in
which H-alpha is not included. Therefore, many stars having H-alpha in
emission are classified as normal stars, being called, for instance, B3 V,
not B3 Ve. The catalog includes DM and HD identifications, numbers in the
main lists of emission- line stars, coordinates, V magnitudes and UBV
photometry (when available from Nicolet's (1978) compilation), adopted MK
classifications, radial velocities, rotational velocities, and
bibliographical references in a separate file.

Historical Notes:
* Selected Astronomical Catalogs" Vol. 1 CD-ROM (1992), directory:
/spectro/bestars
* 13-Jan-1995: modifications at CDS
- the two data files have been merged into a single one.
- RA has been rewritten in a standard form (some values had format
F4.1 in "RAm" column)
