Description
The catalog contains 1005 main-sequence single stars; 360 spectroscopic and eclipsing binaries; 189 Be and shell stars; 243 peculiar B- and A-type stars, and 1277 supergiants, giants, and subgiants, for which v sin i has been determined from 1949 to 1970. Rotational data are essentially in the Slettebak-Kraft system. The catalog provides visual magnitudes, color indices, galactic coordinates, spectral classifications, absolute visual magnitudes, adopted rotational velocities, descriptive information, binary types, luminosity classes, orbital periods, right ascension and declination (B1900.0), and cross identifications to the numbering systems of The Henry Draper Catalogue (HD), the Durchmusterung catalogs, and Aitken Double Stars Catalogue (ADS).
