The following is the "ReadMe" document that describes this ADC catalog. You can access the files described here in three ways:
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
