ADC_Keywords: Binaries, eclipsing ; Binaries, orbits ; Binaries, spectroscopic ;
Finding lists ; Stars, double and multiple
Description:
This catalog is abstracted from the Card Catalog maintained at the
University of Florida containing information on all published, and to
the extent available, unpublished work on eclipsing binaries. The
fifth edition differs from the previous ones in the extension of the
magnitude limit at maximum light from 13 to 15. The catalog fields are
Finding List number; star name; position (equinox 1900); blue
magnitude at maximum light; bandpass of maximum light; depth of
primary minimum in same bandpass; bandpass primary minimum; depth of
secondary minimum and its bandpass; spectral class of star eclipsed at
primary light and optional uncertainty character; spectral class of
star eclipsed at secondary light; most recent reliable epoch of
primary minimum; most recent orbital period; duration of primary
minimum; duration of totality of primary minimum; BD, CoD, CPD, and HD
number; alternate designations of system; codes indicating the nature
of the system.

Historical Notes:
* The machine version was received from the authors in March 1981,
processed and documented by Young Woon Kang at ADC: see
Section 4 of the "adc.doc" file.
* January 1996: the documentation was standardized at CDS; in this
process, a few misalignments and corrections was made at CDS for Seq:
311 (in Epoch1)
767 (in Depth1)
876 (removed 'D' in n_Period column)
1549 (replaced blank min1Dur by -999)
1551 (replaced blank min1Dur by -999)
1596 (replaced blank min1Dur by -999)
2425 (in Depth1)
2766 (removed trailing 0 in Depth2)
3228 (in min1Dur)
