Description
The catalogue is compiled on the basis of the spectral data obtained with the 70-cm meniscus telescope of Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory using the 8{deg} objective prism (dispersion 166{AA}/mm near H{gamma}; in the short-wave region, the spectrum extends up to 3500{AA}).The field of the meniscus telescope is 4.5x4.5{deg}.The area of 140 square degrees, under study, was overlapped by nine centers. Kodak IIa-O, Kodak IIIa-J and Kodak IIIa-F plates were used. A limiting apparent magnitude in V for the stars is between 12.5 photographic mag. and 15.0 photographic mag. for M stars. The errors of our determinations are: +/-0.6 for spectral subtype and +/-0.5 for luminosity class. The catalogue contains 558 objects with peculiarities in the spectrum Ap, Am, BaII and composite spectrum stars, 86 emission stars O, B, M and objects with H{alpha}-emission as well as 453 M and 36 C-stars.Among 558 peculiar stars an overwhelming majority, namely 549, are first found. The stars in the Catalogue are arranged in the order of increasing right ascension. The stars are numbered according to zones of 1{deg} in declination. The printed catalogue is provided with suitable stellar charts reproduced from the Lick Catalogue. The reference system on the charts refers to 1950 epoch and it is plotted according to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) catalogue. Clusters NGC 2168, NGC 1969 and OLC 0436 Whose sites in the charts are denoted with the circles, are supplies with the charts reproduced from relatively large-scale plates taken on the meniscus telescope.
