Description
This catalogue, developed for a new study of the interstellar medium in the solar vicinity, contains estimations of extinction and distances from reliable UBV data and MK types; special attention was paid to the consistency between spectroscopic and photometric data. There are four sets of 2 files: the main set is named CEDDU (Catalogue of Extinctions and Distances Derived from UBV data). Appendices contain stars with discrepant results: negative colour excesses (exneg), apparently very close stars with heavy reddening (avlar), and apparently very far stars with low reddening (asmal). For each set, one file contains a selection of observational data along with derived and computed parameters, and a second file contains the complete set of observational data. Please refer to the enclosed file "intro" (plain ascii) or "intro.tex" (LaTeX) for a more detailed description of the catalogue and how it was built.
