III/113 Deep Objective-Prism Survey for LMC Members (Sanduleak 1970)
================================================================================
A Deep Objective-Prism Survey for Large Magellanic Cloud Members
Sanduleak N.
<Contr. Cerro Tololo Inter-American Obs., No. 89 (1970)>
=1970CoTol..89....1S
================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Surveys; Magellanic Clouds
Description:
The catalog contains 1273 proven or probable Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)
members, identified on plates taken with the Curtis-Schmidt telescope at
Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. The stars are generally
brighter than photographic magnitude 14 and are identified on charts
published by Hodge and Wright (1967) and reproduced in the source
publication (Sanduleak 1970). Approximate spectral types were determined
by examination of the 580 angstroms/mm (at H-gamma) objective-prism
spectra; approximate 1975 positions were obtained by measuring relative to
the 1975 coordinate grids on the Uppsala-Mount Stromlo Atlas of the LMC
(Gascoigne and Westerlund 1961), and approximate photographic magnitudes
were determined by averaging image density measures from the plates and
image-diameter measures on the "B" charts of Hodge and Wright (1967). The
catalog includes an identification number (NS), HD(E) number, Cape
Photographic Durchmusterung number, right ascension and declination
(equinox B1975), spectral type, photographic magnitude, and alternate
identifications. The machine version, updated in September 1986, includes
corrections supplied by the author in 1985; thus, it differs somewhat from
the published version.

Remarks and References:
The data, contained in Table III of Sanduleak (1970), were transcribed to
data forms at the Astronomical Data Center, then punched to cards and
verified at two separate locations. The resulting two card decks were
transferred to disk and compared, corrected, and modified with the addition
of the notes flags and extension to 85-byte records. This first machine
version of the catalog was documented by Warren (1982). A letter and
photocopy of the original paper were received from Dr. Esther M. Hu of the
University of Hawaii in August 1986. The photocopy had been made from a
reprint supplied to the Space Telescope Science Institute by Dr. Sanduleak
in 1985, in which he had made a number of additions, deletions and
corrections by hand, and these had been highlighted by Dr. Hu. The catalog
was dearchived and the changes were incorporated; these changes are listed
in Table 4. Additional cross identifications to previously cataloged
objects required an extension of the logical record length to the current 92
bytes. A listing of the updated catalog was then sent to Dr. Sanduleak, who
made additional changes and returned the listing. These changes were then
incorporated into the catalog and added to Table 4.
The original documentation by W.H Warren (1982, 1986) was reformatted and
edited into this ReadMe file by C.-H. Joseph Lyu (1995).
