A catalogue of high-velocity stars

Description:
RHV catalogue on magnetic tape was prepared in process of compilation of
population II stars catalogue on magnetic tape (Pop2) at Astrophysical
Department, Insitute of Physics, Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, under
supervision of A. Bartkevicius.
Printed version of RHV catalogue contains 633 nonvariable high-velocity
stars north of Dec -20 degrees, brighter than 9.5 mvis. A detailed
information on RHV catalogue is given in original publication
RHV catalogue on magnetic tape contains some modifications and additions:
1. Stars from tables 1 and 2 are sorted according to RA (1950.0)
in the same file.
2. In addition to original equatorial coordinates RA, Dec (1900.0),
there are presented RA, Dec (1950.0, 1875.0, 1855.0),
RA, Dec (1950.0) in radians, and galactic coordinates (l, b).
3. HD number is given instead of Flamsteed number or Bayer designation.
4. MDSP and MDSPS1 numbers in catalogues of metal-deficient stars
(A. Bartkevicius, Bull. Vilnius Obs., No.51, 1980; No.68, 1984) are added.
The author, N. Roman, discovered an error in the printed catalog in
the correction for solar motion. She corrected this error and
recomputed the orbital elements.
