ADCADC/CDS Standard Document for Catalog:
/external/photom/E2002/

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://obswww.unige.ch/gcpd/gcpd.html.

The following is an abbreviated "ReadMe" document that describes this external data set.

Description:   
    This catalogue is a database of stellar photometry published in the       
    astronomical literature. It is frequently updated.  At the time of this    
    writing, it includes more than 532000 measurements for 207238 stars and 
    components, updated through the end of 1997.

    The authors have performed data checks and quality controls on the data 
    in the database, both on internal and external bases. Many inconsistencies 
    were found. When an obvious solution could be found, corrections were 
    applied to the stellar identifications or photometric data. If not, the 
    number of measurements has been set to null (0), so that the suspect 
    observations do not influence the computation of mean values, when relevant.
    They have prepared lists of errors and problems found. These can be reached 
    from the description of the characteristics of each photometric system.
