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.

Note on chart:
  Finding chart identification in source publication (Sanduleak 1969). When a
  star is identified on more than one chart, the numbers are separated by
  commas. (Identifications such as 45a, 45d are present). 
Note on Alt:
  Alternate identification designations for the star, separated
  by commas for multiple entries. Abbreviations for the numbers
  are explained in Table 1 below.

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).
