Description
The database of stars with high-proper motions (more than 0.04"/year) has been compiled using original definitions from catalogue FONAK1.0, the data of catalogues Hipparcos, Tycho-2, CMC (STAR 11), PPM, NPM1, NLTT,GCVS, Lowell Proper Motion, Bruce Proper Motion as well as the data of about 725 other published sources. The list consist of 251000 such stars with limiting magnitude 16 (companions for multiple systems up to 17) in a declination zone from -2 to +90 degrees. Besides astrometric parameters (equatorial coordinates, proper motions, estimations of stars magnitudes) the database includes some astrophysical characteristics (magnitudes in UBVRI system, radial velocities, spectra, luminosity class, metallicity; flags of multiple system, of variable star and other). For convenience of usage original numbers of stars from different catalogues the author's lists of stars and basic sources are given too. At present the database includes codes of 56 catalogues and author's lists of stars. The cross index list is given by a file of 228397 stars arranged by right ascension. Star information is recorded in a digital integer form with one line. Thus maximum amount of star numbers from catalogues and author's lists does not exceed 10 (if more, the number of lines for star is increased by unit).
