ADC_Keywords: Cross identifications ; Durchmusterungen
Description:
This catalog provides cross identifications of the stars in the HDE
(A.J. Cannon Memorial stars) to stars in the AGK2, Cape Photographic (CP),
Cape Faint Stars (CD), or Bonner Durchmusterung (BD) catalogs. It is
divided into two parts. The first part (part1.dat) cross-identifies
stars in the AGK2, CP, and CD catalogs according to their HDE number and
HDE spectral classes. The second part (part2.dat) cross-identifies
additional BD stars to entries in the HDE charts. These are stars lacking
an HDE spectral type.
These tables include cross-identifications to the CSI catalog. These are
stars that do not appear in any Durchmusterung, but are in the CSI. For
such non-Durchmusterung (non-DM) stars, the author has built a "DM" number
from the appropriate zone of the BD/CD/CP or from its 1950 declination, a
negative number for its number in the zone, and a code that enables the
separation of binaries.

Note on DM:
Extra digits in columns 23 and 24 are for binaries.
Note on B, V:
A colon (:) following magnitude values indicates uncertainties.
Note on Dble:
The original CDS document for this catalog states that
"D" indicates that the magnitude(s) refer to a system of stars
(binary or multiple). However there are no "D" entries in this
field - only "V" entries. It is likely that V conveys a similar
meaning, but this has not been confirmed.
Note on coords:
This field contains 1950 coordinates for some of the stars in the
catalog. Some include decimal minutes, while most are entered as
minutes and seconds.

Remarks:
03-Mar-1997: The exclamation points (!) that served as column separators in
the original catalog data files were replaced with ASCII blanks by the ADC.
03-Mar-1997: Data files renamed from catalog.dat1 and catalog.dat2 to
part1.dat and part2.dat.
03-Mar-1997: Standard document added by James Gass of ADC.
