3002 III/2 Preliminary General Cat Early-Type Emission Stars F C Bertiau M F S J McCarthy Ricerche Astron. 7 523 1969 1969RA......7..523B Stars, emission Stars, Be The present catalogue presents a list of 3216 stars mostly earlier than type F which have shown emission features and specifically one or more lines of the Balmer series in emission. It is a compilation and rearrangement of the following lists: the Catalogue and Bibliography of Stars of Classes B and A whose spectra have bright H lines by P. Merrill and C. Burwell, the lists of Haro and his associates at Tonantzintla, the catalogues of Luminous Stars in the Northern Milky Way, Vols. I to VI published by the astronomers of the Hamburger Sternwarte and the Warner and Swasey Obs. Shorter lists of emission stars published by Parenago, Bidelman and McCarthy and Treanor have also been included. The present catalogue has a simple aim: to assist the astronomer in finding from a vast array of articles in the literature whether the star under investigation has been known to show emission features in the earlier major surveys of emission stars of early type carried out at the Mount Wilson, Tonantzila, Hamburg and Warner-Swasey Observatories. The catalogue includes the star identification, Durchmusterung identification, source catalog, RA and Dec, Galactic latitude and longitude, apparent magnitude, spectral classification and remarks.

ID Vatican Serial Number. --- n_ID 'M' for Multiple Entry M = same star is listed in multiple sources first source only is given in ref see Table three in the original publication for additional references * = uncertain identification of stars in different sources stars and sources are listed on separate records --- DM_cat Durchmusterung Catalog: BD, CD or HD --- DM Durchmusterung Identification The rubric that was adopted in the Henry Draper Catalogue of denoting declinations different from the declination of the 1900.0 epoch has been followed in the present catalogue. For example, Vatican No. 7 which is the equivalent of Star No. 3 in the A catalogue (i.e. Merrill and Burwell: Mount Wilson Catalogue, Star No. 3) is indicated as BD -2829 to indicate, by reference to DE (60deg, 4arcmin), that this star is BD +59 2829. Thus, the "-" denotes in this catalogue (just as the italics did in the Henry Draper Catalogue) the fact of the change in declination of the star between the 1855 epoch of the Bonner Durchmusterung and the 1900 epoch adopted for all the stars in the present listing. --- ref The Source Catalogues The source catalogues where the emission features is noted. Code letters are indicated in table1.dat For multiple sources see Table Three in the publication. () = In a few cases stars in the Luminous Star lists were cited in more than one catalogue of this series. The LS serial number listed in parentheses corresponds to the earlier catalogue. - = see Note on DM --- name The Name of the Star --- M The number in Parenago P. et al. For stars in the Orion Region, see: Parenago P. 1954, General Catalogue of Stars in Regions Investigated, Sternberg Inst.

These are of necessity a mixture of visual magnitudes taken from various Durchmusterungs, photographic magnitudes interpolated from Selected Areas, open cluster sequences and in some cases derived directly by the various authors from visual inspection of spectrum plates. Hence very large differences in the published magnitudes for the same star are quite common even apart from the known or suspected variability of many of these stars. mag n_mag Remark on mag V = variable star * = the magnitude is markedly uncertain --- Glon Galactic longitude deg Glat Galactic latitude. deg Sp The Spectral Classification The letter "e" is omitted since presumably all stars listed have shown emission characteristics. --- n_Sp Remark on Sp C = refers to the continuous emission feature L = refers to the line emission beginning at H beta * = denotes uncertainty in the emission feature observed --- ref Reference Code --- aut Authors If aut is blank, then some other field is continued from the previous line. --- ent Entries --- bib Reference --- Ep Epoch a rem Remarks on Magnitude Systems Remarks on Magnitudes Listed in Catalogue 1.
