ADC/CDS Standard Document for Catalog:
/external/photom/E2001/
The ADC has expanded its resources in order to better serve our users, we have
developed a new category called "external" to complement our catalogs and
journal table directories.
You can access the data set described here through the URL:
http://ddo.astro.utoronto.ca/cepheids.html.
The following is an abbreviated "ReadMe" document that describes this external data set.
E/II/1 DDO Database of Galactic Classical Cepheids (Fernie+ 1995)

Description:
We present a database of over 500 classical Cepheids in the Galaxy
contained in four files. The first, Positional Data, contains the
equatorial and galactic coordinates of each star, and cross-references
to HD and SAO numbers where they exist. The second, Mean Values and
Amplitudes, provides mean values of Johnson B and V magnitudes, both as
magnitude- and as intensity-means, the corresponding B-V values, the
amplitudes in B, V, and B-V, and the radial velocity pulsational
amplitudes. The third file, Colour Excess, lists major determinations of
E(B-V) and the average for each Cepheid where possible. The fourth file,
Physical Data, brings together some material from the other files, as well
as listing period, absolute magnitude, distance, height above the galactic
plane, mean radius, mean radial velocity, and notes regarding binarity,
cluster membership, etc.
No individual observations are given. For these see the McMaster Cepheid
Photometry and Radial Velocity Data Archive, an extensive compilation of
observational data maintained by Doug Welch at McMaster University.
