Description
The documentation is mostly adapted from the "Documentation for the Machine-Readable Version of A catalog of Ultraviolet Interstellar Extinction Excesses for 1415 Stars" by Wayne H. Warren Jr., May 1986, National Space Science Data Center NSSDC/WDC-A-R&S 86-05 This document describes the machine-readable version of the catalog as it is currently being distributed from the Astronomical Data Centers. It is intended to enable users to read and process the data without problems and guesswork, but it is not intended to replace the original published paper, which users should study before processing the data. The format described below is very similar to that given on page 431 of the source reference, but some modifications were made at the ADC (with the consent of the authors) to effect uniformity.
