J/PAZh/23/931   Star kinematics catalog in 19 Kapteyn's areas (Rastorguev+ 1997)

Abstract:
    1214 individual measurements of radial velocities made with
    CORAVEL-type spectrometer (Tokovinin, 1987AZh....63..196T) are
    presented for 1134 stars in 19 northern Kapteyn's areas.
    Precise coordinates are given for all these stars. Proper motions of
    stars are taken from NLTT (Luyten, 1979, Cat. <I/98>), PPM (Roser,
    Bastian, 1991, Cat. <I/146> and <I/193>), NPM1 (Klemola, Hanson,
    Jones, 1987, Cat. <I/200>) and Four-million catalog (Kuimov, 1992, In:
    On the four-million catalog of stars, eds. Izd. MGU, Moscow, P.27.;
    Glushkova et al., 1996PAZh...22..850G). A list of suspected binary
    stars and stars with variable radial velocities is also given.
    Two-dimensional spectral classification for these area is available
    (Bartaya, 1979AbaOB..51....1B).
