Description:
This catalog provides additional data for FK4 and FK5 stars. Specifically, it
contains the GC numbers and the HD numbers where available. It also
contains the parallaxes from the Yale Catalogue of Trigonometric Parallaxes,
various information from Wilson's General Catalogue of Stellar Radial
Velocities, and positions and proper motions in galactic coordinates.
Introduction:
The data have been taken in the following catalogues:
FK4 Fourth Fundamental Catalogue carried out under the supervision
of W. Fricke and A. Kopff, Heidelberg (1963)
FK4/SUP General Catalogue of 33,342 Stars for the Epoch 1950.0
Boss B., Carnegie Institution of Washington (1937)
YP Yale Catalogue of Trigonometric Parallaxes
Jenkins F., Yale University Observatory (1952, Suppl. 1963)
WILSON General Catalogue of Stellar Radial Velocity
Wilson R.F., Carnegie Institution of Washington, 601 (1953)
BS Yale Catalogue of Bright Stars
Hoffleit D., Yale University Obs. (1964)
HD Henry Draper Catalogue
Cannon A.J., Pickering B.C. (1924)
comp. data have been computed
