V/11           Catalogue of High-Velocity Stars              (Eggen 1964-1965)
================================================================================
Catalogue of High Velocity Stars
    Eggen O.J.
    <Royal Obs. Bull. No. 84, No. 111 (1964,1965)>
    =1964RGOB...84..111E
================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Stars, high-velocity

Description:
   A catalogue is given of 656 stars which have space motions probably
   exceeding 100km/s with respect to the Sun. In addition to the apparent
   motions, many of which are new determinations, the catalogue contains the
   space velocity vectors UVW and other parameters, such as spectral type and
   color.

Note (1): The identification is coded on 13 characters:
   1-3  = name of catalogue : blank for HD, W for Wilson's GCRV;
          other abbreviations aRE LTT, LDS, etc,
   4-10 = number in the catalogue
  11-13 = multiplicity (A, AB, etc...)

Note (2): The spectral type is coded on 12 characters:
    1-2  = luminosity class (G, SG, D, SD, C ...)
    3-4  = type and sub-type
    5-10 = luminosity class
   11-12 = peculiarities

Note (3): The values of proper motions are those which are listed in 
          line 5 of the original catalogue (reduced to N30 system).

Remarks:
   The file was keypunched at CDS.
   A few errors (mainly misalignements) were corrected in June 1993 for the 
   following running numbers:
    69 105 123 144 276 284 285 310
