  Spectral types and radial velocity data from Hoffleit & Jaschek (1982,
  The Bright Star Catalogue. Yale Univ. Observatory, Connecticut, USA) with
  revisions according to Hoffleit (1984, Bull. Inform. CDS No. 26, p.161) and
  Stickland & Weatherby (1984A&AS...57...55S); see catalog <V/50>.
  'V' and 'V?': known and suspected radial velocity variables respectively;
  'SB': spectroscopic binary ('SB1' and 'SB2' denote single- and double-lined
  systems respectively);
  'O': published orbit (see Batten et al. 1989, Publs. Dom. astrophys. Obs.
  17, 1; see catalog <V/64>).
