- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This database table is based upon the information contained in the Catalog of Galactic O-Type Stars (Garmany, Conti, and Chiosi 1982), which is a compilation from the literature of all O-type stars for which spectral types, luminosity classes, and UBV photometry exist. Most of the entries come from Cruz-Gonzalez, et al. (1974) and Humphreys (1978), with additional stars from Garrison and Kormendy (1976); Garrison, Hiltner, and Schild (1977); Garrison and Schild (1979); Feinstein, Marraco, and Muzzio (1973); Feinstein, Marraco, and Forte (1976); and Moffat, Fitzgerald, and Jackson (1979). As discussed below, the HEASARC has deleted 5 of the original 765 entries which we believe to be erroneous and/or redundant, and modified the names and/or positions of 14 other entries. As part of the checking process, the HEASARC created new, more accurate positions for all the entries using the SIMBAD database. The catalog contains 760 stars, for each of which designations (HD, DM, etc.), spectral types, V magnitudes, B-V magnitudes, cluster memberships, positional information, and source references are given. In addition, the authors have included derived values of absolute visual and bolometric magnitudes, and distances. The source reference should be consulted for additional details concerning the derived quantities. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Title:
- General Catalog of Variable Stars (June 2022 Version)
- Short Name:
- GCVS
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- Work aimed at compiling detailed catalogs of variable stars in the Galaxy, which has been carried out continuously by Moscow variable-star researchers since 1946 on behalf of the International Astronomical Union, has entered the stage of the publication of the 5th, completely electronic edition of the General Catalog of Variable Stars (GCVS). The GCVS 5.1 is freely accessible on the Internet. The authors recommend citing their paper as a unified reference to the 5th edition of the GCVS. The GCVS is the only reference source on all known variable stars. This version contains the electronically-readable version as distributed by the Sternberg Astronomical Institute and Institute of Astronomy (Russian Acad. Sci.), Moscow. After the publication of Volume III of the 4th edition of the GCVS, the subsequent Name-lists with numbers from 67 to 77 contained only names of variable stars in the GCVS systems, together with their coordinates and variability types. The authors actually started compiling the 5th edition of the GCVS ten years ago, with the 78th Name-list of Variable Stars, which provided (as did all subsequent Name-lists) complete GCVS information for each star (in addition to the variability types, ranges of brightness variations, epochs of brightness maxima or minima, periods, etc.). In all, the 78th-81st Name-lists contain more than 13300 variable stars. The complete revision of information on the coordinates of variable stars (see the Introduction section of the reference paper) was also a part of the transition to the 5th edition. The present electronic version of the GCVS5.1 is available from Sternberg Astronomical Institute (Lomonosov Moscow University) and Institute of Astronomy (Russian Academy of Sciences) at <a href="http://www.sai.msu.su/gcvs/gcvs/">http://www.sai.msu.su/gcvs/gcvs/</a> as a first release of the fifth GCVS edition. Information on the contents and principles of the fifth edition can be found in Samus et al. (2017), the official reference to GCVS 5.1. The GCVS 5.1 version contains data for individual variable objects discovered and named as variable stars by 2021 and located mainly in the Milky Way galaxy. The total number of named variable stars, not counting designated non-existing stars or stars subsequently identified with earlier-named variables, is now 58035. The stars of the GCVS 5.1 are stars of the GCVS fourth edition plus Name-lists Nos. 67-84. The stars from the Name-lists Nos.78-84 are presented in the complete GCVS format. Complete information for stars of the Name-lists Nos. 67-77 is so far provided in the first 20 constellations (Andromeda to Cepheus). In these constellations, the GCVS information has been completely revised with active use of new publications as well as observations retrieved by the GCVS compilers by data mining and used to determine new variability types and new light elements whenever possible. The authors are continuing this work and will introduce new data for the next constellations as soon as they are ready. This version of the GCVS catalog was last updated by the HEASARC in September 2022, based on the file at <a href="http://www.sai.msu.su/gcvs/gcvs/gcvs5/gcvs5.txt">http://www.sai.msu.su/gcvs/gcvs/gcvs5/gcvs5.txt</a>.

- General Catalog of Variable Stars, March 2012 Version: Suspected Variable Stars
- Short Name:
- GCVS/?
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This catalog is a compilation of stars that have been suspected of variability but have (mostly) not been finally designated as variables. It is the merging and latest updated version of the compilation of the New Catalog of Suspected Variable Stars (NSV Catalog) originally published in 1982 by Kukarkin et al. and the Supplement to the NSV originally published in 1998 by Kazarovets et al. This version (NSV Release 2) has updated the previous catalog in several ways. The accuracy of coordinates has been drastically improved for the objects in the catalog; for most of them, the authors have revised the photometric and spectroscopic data and updated the remarks. In the cases with no existing finding charts, the authors recovered variability of 2800 stars of the catalog, despite large errors of the previously published coordinates. The data contained in the present catalog include positions, magnitudes, variability types, references to the literature, and spectra. This version of the GCVS catalog was last updated by the HEASARC in September 2022, based on the files <a href="http://www.sai.msu.su/gcvs/gcvs/nsv2/nsv2.txt">http://www.sai.msu.su/gcvs/gcvs/nsv2/nsv2.txt</a> and <a href="http://www.sai.msu.su/gcvs/gcvs/nsvsup/nsvs.dat">http://www.sai.msu.su/gcvs/gcvs/nsvsup/nsvs.dat</a>.

- Title:
- Gliese Catalog of Nearby Stars, 3rd Edition
- Short Name:
- CNS3
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The CNS3 catalog contains all known stars as of 1991 that are within 25 parsecs of the Sun. It depends mainly on a preliminary version (Spring 1989) of the new General Catalogue of Trigonometric Parallaxes (YPC) prepared by Dr. William F. van Altena (Yale University). The catalog contains every then-known star with a trigonometric parallax greater than or equal to 0.0390 arcsec, even though it may be evident from photometry or for other reasons that the star has a larger distance. For red dwarf stars, new color-magnitude calibrations for broad-band colors were carried out and applied. For white dwarfs, the recipes of McCook and Sion in ApJS, 65, 603 (1987) were applied. Stroemgren photometry was used (not yet systematically) for early-type stars and for late dwarfs, the latter supplied by E. H. Olsen from Copenhagen Observatory (private communication). In contrast to the CNS2 (Gliese 1969) catalog, trigonometric parallaxes and photometric or spectroscopic parallaxes were not combined in this version. The resulting parallax in the present version is the trigonometric parallax if the relative error of the trigonometric parallax is smaller than 14 percent. The parallax may be the photometric or spectroscopic parallax only if no trigonometric parallax is available or if the standard error of the trigonometric parallax is considerably larger. The original catalog and the notes describing it were prepared by Wilhelm Gliese and Hartmut Jahreiss, Astronomisches Rechen-Institut, Moenchhofstrasse 12-14, D-6900 Heidelberg 1, Germany, in 1991. The CDS has made a number of formatting and documentation changes in the period 1994-1997, e.g., in December 1997 it added a running number to the name for 1388 stars which had all been given the same name of "NN" in the original version, starting with "NN 3001" (for the first "NN" star in order of 1950 RA), and ending with "NN 4388" (for the last "NN" star in order of 1950 RA). This revised version of the catalog (CDS/ADC Catalog V/70A) was used by the HEASARC to create this database in February 2001. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Gliese Catalog Stars with Accurate Coordinates and 2MASS Cross-Identifications
- Short Name:
- GLIESE2MAS
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains precise epoch 2000 coordinates and cross-identifications to sources in the 2MASS Point Source Catalog for nearly all stars in the Gliese, Gliese-Jahreiss, and Woolley catalogs of nearby stars. The only Gliese objects where the authors were not successful are two Gliese sources that are actually QSOs; two proposed companions to brighter stars, which they believe do not exist; four stars included in one of the catalogs but identified there as only optical companions; one probable plate flaw; and two stars that simply remain unrecovered. For the 4251 recovered stars, 2693 have coordinates based on Hipparcos positions, 1549 have coordinates based on 2MASS data, and 9 have positions from other astrometric sources. All positions have been calculated at epoch 2000 using proper motions from the literature, which are also given here. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2011 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/PASP/122/885">CDS Catalog J/PASP/122/885</a> file table1.dat.

- Henry Draper Extension Charts Catalog
- Short Name:
- HDEC
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Henry Draper (HD) Catalog (Cannon and Pickering 1918 - 1924, Ann. Astron. Obs. Harvard College 91 - 99) and its first extension, the Henry Draper Extension (HDE) Catalog (Cannon 1934, Ann. Astron. Obs. Harvard College 100, 1 - 6), provided spectral classification and rough positions for 272,150 stars and has been widely made use of by the astronomical community for over half a century. A second extension of the HD Catalog, the so-called Henry Draper Extension Charts (HDEC), subsequently extended this spectral classification to fainter magnitudes (Cannon 1937, Ann. Astron. Obs. Harvard College 105, 1; Cannon and Mayall 1949, Ann. Astron. Obs. Harvard College 112), thus adding nearly another 87,000 stars with derived spectral types. The information in the HDEC was published in the form of charts rather than tables like the HD and HDE Catalogs, and consequently has been barely utiized by modern astronomers. In the 1990's, after a pilot project of Roeser et al. (1991, Astr. Ap. Suppl., 88, 277) had demonstrated that it seemed feasible to `revive' the HDEC data, they were converted into a catalog of accurate astrometric parameters along with magnitudes and spectral types by Nesterov et al. (1995, Astr. Ap. Suppl., 110, 367), who used measurements of Cartesian coordinates of stars in the charts and the positions in the Astrographic Catalog (AC) for subsequent cross-identification. The Nesterov et al. (1991) reference should be consulted for the full details on the procedures used to create this HDEC catalog. The HDEC catalog contains information on 86,933 stars, comprising accurate (0.5 arcseconds error) positions, (for more than 96 per cent of them) proper motions with a typical accuracy of 5.5 milliarcseconds (mas) per year, and the original spectral classifications. The current database contains the main portion of the catalog. An additional set of information, primarily comprising HD entries with cross-identifications with known or suspected variable stars, was included in the A.J. Cannon Memorial Volume (Cannon and Mayall 1949). This list was extended by Nesterov et al. (1991) to more than 500 identifications with variable stars. This latter expanded list, together with a list of entries which have uncertain identifications, is not included in the HEASARC version of this catalog, but it is available on the HEASARC website in the directory <a href="/FTP/heasarc/dbase/misc_files/hdec/">/FTP/heasarc/dbase/misc_files/hdec/</a> as the file <a href="/FTP/heasarc/dbase/misc_files/hdec/hdec.remarks">hdec.remarks</a>. If the parameter "remarks" is set to "R" for an entry in the HDEC catalog, this means that there is a remark about that particular star in the above file. This database was created by the HEASARC in April 1998 based on the machine-readable ADC/<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/III/182">CDS Catalog III/182</a>.
