Description:
An updated, corrected, and extended machine-readable version of
The Henry Draper Catalogue (HD, Cannon & Pickering 1918-1924) is
available with documentation from the Astronomical Data Center (ADC)
as of April 1989. Published and unpublished errors discovered in the
previous version have been corrected; letters indicating supplemental
stars in the BD have been moved to a new byte to distinguish them from
double-star components; and the machine-readable portion of
The Henry Draper Extension (HDE) (HA 100; Cannon 1925-1936) has been
converted to the same format as the main catalog with additional data
added as necessary. The catalog lists HD numbers, Durchmusterung
numbers, positions for equinox B1900, photovisual and photographic
magnitudes, spectral types, codes for the intensity of the spectra
used, and remarks.

35 A1 --- n_Ptm [C] 'C' if Ptm is combined value with Ptg
36 I1 --- q_Ptg [0/1]? Code for Ptg: 0 = measured, 1 = value
inferred from Ptm and spectral type
37- 41 F5.2 mag Ptg ? Photographic magnitude (2)

entry and the following or preceding entry
43- 45 A3 --- SpType Spectral type
46- 47 A2 --- Intensity [ 0-9B] Photographic intensity of spectrum (3)
48 A1 --- Remarks [DEGMR*] Remarks, see note (4)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): the DM number is composed of:
Bytes 7-8: catalog ID, 'BD', 'CD', 'CP', or 'AG' for AGK1 stars
(zones +50 to +59) not in the BD
Bytes 9-16: Durchmusterung catalog number, SZZNNNNN.
For AG zones, the ZZ field contains the lowest
declination zone in the appropriate catalog (50 or 55)
Byte 17: BD supplement letter (catalogue <I/71> by Warren and Kress)
Byte 18: DM component identification
Note (2): the following codes are used for the magnitudes:
20.0 nebula (Neb in published catalog)
30.0 variable (var. in published catalog)
40.0 nova (Nov. in published catalog)
50.0 cluster (Cl. in published catalog)
blank no value in published catalog
Note (3): this intensity is a number between 1 and 10,
but has the value 14 for HD 35041, and
value 'B' for HD 37788 and 41366
Note (4):
D = Entry deleted (see adc.doc)
E = Image at edge of plate
G = Position and BD number taken directly from AGK1 and precessed to 1900
M = Multiple images used (see adc.doc)
R = Remark in the published catalog
* = Spectral type refers a cluster, nebula or nebulous star. (see adc.doc)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remarks:
According to W. H. Warren Jr., 194629 is identical to 194648 and the
latter should be deleted.

Historical Notes:
* February 1985: see the attached file "adc.doc" by Nancy G. Roman
and Wayne H. Warren Jr. (document NSSDC/WDC-A-R&S 84-18); its
section 4 described the story of the catalog.
* October 1993: the following few modifications have been added at CDS
(a) insertion of the decimal point for Ptm and Ptg fields
(b) three stars had a declination "-6860" corrected to "-6900":
269534, 269975, 270350
(c) a 0 digit missing in the DEm field of stars
16110 16112 16126 16131 16138 16150 16156 16183 16187 16189
has been added
(d) the spectrum of star 4815 has been corrected
* 16-Apr-1994: Following a note by Sh. Nishimura (NAO Japan),
about 60 remarks E and P (emission and peculiar) were changed to
lowercase letters. BD designation of star 237694 have been changed
from BD+567 1286 to BD+56 1286.
