Abstract:
Using the data obtained with the ultraviolet photometer in the Astronomical
Netherlands Satellite, the equivalent widths of the interstellar 217 nm band
as well as other parameters characterizing the behavior of the continuous
interstellar extinction in the wavelength region of the band have been
derived for 790 O, B stars with color excesses E(B-V) >= 0.4 mag.

1- 9 A9 --- ID *HD or BD Identification

Note on ID:
HD is right justified to byte 6.
BD zone appears in bytes 1-3. BD number is right justified to byte 9.
Note on alpha beta gamma:
Parameters as defined in Gurtler et al. (1982).
Actual values are in Friedemann and Roder (1987) derived from ANS data
compiled by Wesselius et al. (1982).
Each is given in units of microns to the power of 5/3.
Note on S2200:
Standard deviation in 0.001mag in the 2200 A band according to Wesselius et
al. (1982)
Note on rem:
3 = common star with an entry in the catalog compiled by Dorschner et
al. (1984)
4 = at least two stars are present within one arcminute of the pointing
position
5 = ultraviolet results indicate variability
50 = suspected variable
6 = equivalent width W deviates two to three times the standard deviation
of the mean relation W ~ E(B-V)
70 = possibly a deviating extinction law
8 = lying in a cluster that probably affects the ultraviolet data
9 = equivalent width W deviates at least three times the standard
deviation from the mean relation W ~ E(B-V)
Remarks:
supersedes III/95
