Description
The catalog provides classifications on the Morgan-Keenan (MK) system published in the literature since the appearance of the La Plata catalog (Jaschek et al., 1964). In addition to the MK types, the catalog contains, for REFERENCE PURPOSES ONLY, UBV photometry, some component identifications for multiple systems, and miscellaneous remarks, e.g., cluster membership, although this information is not professed to be complete. A second file of the machine version contains the bibliographical references cited in the data file and indicates classifications done by objective-prism techniques (OP) or from photometric studies (PHOT). Note that extragalactic stars (e.g. in LMC, SMC) are not included.
