FK5 - SAO - HD - Common Name Cross Index
Smith W.B.
<unpublished (1996)>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADC_Keywords: Astrometric data; cross indentifications
Description:
The author has combined data from various catalogs to produce a cross
index of the numbers in the FK5, SAO, and HD catalogs. He has also
added the Bayer or Flamsteed designations and the common or variable
star names.
