Abstract:
    This file contains mean values of [Fe/H] (with rms errors) for 495 F-K
    stars which are on or near the main sequence. Literature references
    are given for the contributing values of [Fe/H].

Introduction:
    In addition to Papers V and VI, this catalog draws on a review paper
    by the author on the SMR problem. If a star of interest for that
    problem appears without a value of [Fe/H] in Paper V, it is listed in
    the review paper and is also listed here with a designation "V." For
    all but two of these stars, mean values of [Fe/H] are given here. For
    the exceptions (HD 3765, HD 32147), low-resolution data suggest that
    [Fe/H] is substantially higher than published high-resolution results
    indicate (see the review paper).

Note on com:
    1 The D index is smaller than predicted from [Fe/H]
      (see 19941994PASP..106..600T)
    2 [Fe/H] may be below the catalog limit (see 1994PASP..106..590T)
    3 See reference 221 for an alternative value of [Fe/H]
    4 A reference 221 datum is included (compare refs. 221 and 570
      for HD 155885/6)
Note on m_BD/HD:
   For binaries: "A" if primary, "B" if secondary.
   For single stars: "V" denotes VSL star or possible SMR star,
                 and "C" denotes a comment
