Abstract:
    We list the photometric measurements of point sources made by the Far
    Ultraviolet Space Telescope (FAUST) when it flew on the ATLAS-1 space
    shuttle mission. The list contains 4698 Galactic and extragalactic
    objects detected in 22 wide-field images of the sky. At the locations
    surveyed, this catalog reaches a limiting magnitude approximately a
    factor of 10 fainter than the previous UV all-sky survey, TD1. The
    catalog limit is approximately 1x10^-14^ergs/s/cm^26/A, although it is
    not complete to this level. We list for each object the position, FUV
    flux, the error in flux, and where possible an identification from
    catalogs of nearby stars and galaxies. These catalogs include the
    Michigan HD (MHD) and HD, SAO, the HIPPARCOS Input Catalog, the
    Position and Proper Motion Catalog, the TD1 Catalog, the McCook and
    Sion Catalog of white dwarf stars, and the RC3 Catalog of Galaxies. We
    identify 2239 FAUST sources with objects in the stellar catalogs and
    172 with galaxies in the RC3 catalog. We estimate the number of
    sources with incorrect identifications to be less than 2%.

    The experiment, the mission and the data are described in a previous
    paper by Bowyer et al., 1993ApJ...415..875B .

Note on Dist, Vmag, Sp:
  Quantities are taken from the MHD catalog if a star is present.
  If an MHD star is not present, these quantities are taken (in
  order of preference) from the HIC, PPM, SAO, and HD catalogs.
Note on PPM:
  The PPM numbers in the range 500000-700000 are from the preliminary
  PPM South catalog, and should NOT be used for the naming of stars.
Note on TD1:
  These numbers do not agree with those from the public TD1 catalog
  <II/59>, and should NOT be used for the naming of stars.
