IV/22   FK5 - SAO - HD - Common Name Cross Index         (Smith 1996)
================================================================================
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unpublished (1996)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.

   04/23/03 Corrected reported error. Changed SAO 139732 to correspond to 
            HD 123177 (SIMBAD, SAO), originally it had been recorded as 
            corresponding to HD 122177.
