V/33       Kinematic Abundance Survey at Galactic Poles (Hartkopf+ 1982)
================================================================================
A Kinematic Abundance Survey at the Galactic Poles
    Hartkopf W.I., Yoss K.M.
    <Astron. J. Vol. 87, No. 12, p. 1679 (1982)>

ADC_Keywords: Photometry, DDO ; Radial velocities ; Photometry, narrow-band ;
    Galactic pole, north ; Galactic pole, south

Description:
  DDO observations of 1076 G and K stars at the north and south galactic poles 
  have been combined with published photometry.  Additional DDO photometry of 
  bright field stars has been used to calibrate the DDO abundance index against
  [Fe/H] for metal-poor stars. Radial velocities were obtained for 302 of 
  the polar giants, and coupled with published velocities.

   ** Error measurements are as follows:
         Meas.: rms error for repeated measurements of same spectrum.
         Int.: rms internal error from cross correlations.
         Obs.: rms error for multiple observations of one star.
         Ext.: rms external error (observed-published velocities).
    * Half weight for bright stars.
