Description
For 7255 stars this catalog lists all values of the apparent and absolute radii from the literature. Data were compiled beginning 1950 up to 1985, including some data from 1986 and 1987. The catalogue was ordered by identification by HD number or BD number followed by variables with constellation names in alphabetical order, followed by other abbreviations. The HD and BD numbers were given priority 1 and 2 respectively over the other identifications. Hence variable stars can be found under the name of the constellation only when HD and BD numbers are lacking. The apparent magnitudes and spectral types are those reported by the authors, as they are basic data used in some methods for obtaining the stellar diameters.
