Keywords: catalogs

Description:
    The catalog contains mean values of [Fe/H] (with rms errors) for 1117
    evolved G-K stars. Literature references are given for the source
    data, which are all from high-dispersion or related work. A number of
    literature sources which are not used are listed with their reasons
    for being set aside. A FORTRAN program for listing samples from the
    catalog is also included. The temper.dat file contains values of
    Johnson V-K, {theta} [=5040/T_eff_] and E(B-V) for 346 evolved G-K stars.
