Description:
    A catalogue of some 414  classical  Algol-type  binary  candidates  is
    presented. Apart  from the entries on  numerous well-known and studied
    Algols, the  catalogue draws attention  to a large  number of probably
    similar  but generally less well-known stars,  as well as others which
    may have  been cited as possible Algols,  though for which the overall
    evidence appears weaker.

Acronyms used:
    BD = Brancewicz and Dworak (1980) (catalog <II/150>)
    GM = Giuricin and Mardirossian (1981a)
    GCVS = General Catalog of Variable Stars <II/139>

Note on name:
    Arranged in alphabetical order of constellation listing (as in the
    General Catalogue (GCVS) of Kukarkin et al., 1969, 1970, 1971,1974)
Note on mass:
    The mass as given in the catalogue of Brancewicz and Dworak (1980)
    (hereafter BD), to two decimals. Sometimes an additional entry (above
    the BD mass) refers to some other recent estimates. This will usually
    be for the more well known Algol systems, the mass being that quoted
    by Giuricin and Mardirossian (1981a) (hereafter GM).
Note on Sp:
    The MK spectral type(s) (when available) are almost always those of
    BD. A colon indicates uncertainty, while brackets refer to types which
    have been indirectly inferred by certain other light curve analysts
    (see BD for details).A few of the candidate stars are not listed by
    BD, in which case the types are probably those quoted by Kukarkin et
    al., (GCVS - op. cit.) or Wood et al.,(1980).
Note on q:
    For many systems this comes from an initial trial value which is
    subsequently iteratively improved on, in order to make the system
    parameters (especially those of the primary star) fit in the
    prescribed correlations (see section 2 of the publication) to within
    some permitted tolerance.
Note on subVol:
    subVol (r(L2)) indicates BD's assessment of the volumetric percentage
    proportion of its limiting (Roche) lobe occupied by the subgiant
    component. In a majority of cases of candidate EA2 systems BD find
    this quantity to be less than 100 (i.e. an "undersize" implication).
    This could, however, reflect systematic errors of some adopted
    constant values in some of the formulae put together in order to
    effect solutions (Budding, 1983). In any case, the proximity of r(L2)
    to 100 is a good clue to the likelihood of an SD (semi-detached)
    system designation.
Note on qsd:
    The quantity q(SD) would usually denote the mass ratio calculated
    using BD's relative radius of the secondary component (R(2)/Sep), a
    quantity already determined in the light curve analysis as r(2), and
    Kopal's (1959) Table (3-2), which relates the mean relative radius of
    the component in an sd system, i.e. one which is in contact with its
    surrounding (inner) Roche critical surface (passing through the inner
    Lagrangian point), to the corresponding mass ratio. Again, as with the
    entries in mass, additional recently published values are sometimes
    also included above the main entry for more well known systems. Other
    possible entries for q(SD) will be referred to in the next section.
Note on Depth1:
    For certain eclipsing binary systems, that this is a salient
    observational parameter, by means of which likely sd candidates may be
    identified, was already stressed in Shapiro's (1973) thesis. This
    quantity was utilized by Budding (1981) to select light curves of EA2
    type. It will indeed become clear on inspection of the candidate list
    that most of the more well known classical Algol systems have light
    curves of this type. The value of the depth is given in magnitudes.
Note on r1:
    The tenth column gives the relative radius of the primary component
    r(1), which is simply derived from (R(1)/Sep) as listed by BD. Like
    the previously mentioned r(2), this is a quantity which would normally
    be calculated from analysis of the photometric data, and though
    published results of such analyses often quote its value to three or
    more significant decimal digits, a two digit value is already an
    optimistic assessment of the likely information content for the
    majority of less well-known candidate stars. The extent of
    disagreement between different sources on such parameters for even the
    more well-known examples suggests that a two figure number is a
    realistic datum to insert here. This quantity can, of course, be
    combined with the mass, mass ratio and the period to allow absolute
    sizes of the system components to be derived.
Note on sd:
    The sd status could be regarded as a crude probability assessment of
    the semi-detached nature of the system. It takes the five values from
    0.1 up to 0.9 in steps of 0.2. 0.9 will normally be placed alongside
    the well-known cases (such as most of those in the GM list), for which
    comparison information columns (4) and (8) is presented. A value 0.7
    is associated with binaries of apparently similar superficial
    properties to the 0.9 cases, but such binaries appear to be relatively
    neglected. 0.5 goes with the binaries for which an EA2 or EA1
    designation might be about equally likely, whereas the balance of
    probability would seem to be against a normal sd classification for
    the 0.3 systems. Those binaries with sd status 0.1 are regarded as
    definitely unlikely to represent classical evolved Algol systems.

Note on Q:
     The above sources usually refer to the quality of the original
     photometric data, or give some (numerical) indication as to their
     feelings of the overall reliability of their solutions. This has been
     put together here under the general quality descriptor Q, which may be
     interpreted in a similar way to the sd status measure, except that
     (since Svechnikov's `weights' are in a scale of 1-10) the values 0.2,
     0.4 etc. might also appear.
Note on rem:
     The remarks column offers a few words of additional information.
     In order to appreciate these, however, it will be
     necessary to understand the following abbreviations:
     BD   The catalogue of Brancewicz and Dworak (see(4) above).
     C    Cester et al. (1978b).
     EA   Algol type light curve as defined by Kukarkin et al., (1969).
     EA1, Subdivisions of the EA type designation introduced
     EA2  by Budding (1981). EA1 refers to a pair of eclipsing
          unevolved Main Sequence dwarfs, giving rise to a light
          curve sometimes described as being of `Algol type';
          though often with distinctive differences from that
          of an EA2 type system, which refers to evolved Algols
          forming the main subject of this article.
     G    Gaposchkin's(1940) catalogue (see(12) and(13) above).
     GM   Giuricin and Mardirossian (1981) (see(4) above).
     HN   Hall and Neff (1979).
     k    Ratio of relative radii (usually r(2)/r(1)).
     lc   Light curve.
     mf   Mass function.
     min  Photometric minimum (Min II refers to the depth of the
          secondary minimum.).
     oc   Occultation, i.e. eclipse formed by the larger star
          obscuring the smaller one.
     q    Ratio of masses (i.e. M lesser/M greater = M(2)/M(1)).
     RS   A system containing an "undersize" subgiant. Special
          attention was called to these systems by Kopal (1959) and
          also (using the same designation, though with a slightly
          more restricted meaning, by Svechnikov (1969). Many
          systems of this type have since been found to conform
          to a special RS CVn-type designation (Hall, 1976); Morgan
          and Eggleton, 1979). Svechnikov (1969) described these
          as AR systems. The issue will be discussed further in
          the next section.
     Sz   Szafraniec (see (12) and (13) above.) Her gathered information
          on photometry is often of interest in connection with less
          well-known candidates.
     sd   Semi-detached, in the sense of Kopal (1955).
     sec  Secondary.
     tr   Transit, i.e. eclipse formed by the smaller star obscuring
          the larger one.
