Suppl. 23 283 1976 1976A&AS...23..283L Milky Way Surveys Spectral types The spectral survey, carried out at the Stockholm Observatory, was initiated by B. Lindblad. The observational material was obtained by L.O. Loden, K. Loden and others in the years 1956-1965, when the Stockholm Observatory took part in a joint enterprise for using the Harvard-Boyden station. The Swedish Natural Science Research Council, the Royal Academy of the Sciences, and the K. and A. Wallenberg Foundation funded the observations, which are based on both direct and objective prism plates. The data were published in three parts, the first having less precise positions than the others. The coordinates for Catalogue I (3033) were later recomputed with the same reduction procedure as Catalogues II (3034) and III (3035), making the present catalogue uniform (Andersen, 1977). The files include star identification, finding chart identification, RA and Dec, galactic longitude and latitude, spectral type, blue magnitude, visual magnitude and remarks. The data concerning the part 2 were revised by Brian Skiff in November 1996 (see the History section)

Obs. 1996Nov26Thanks are due to Dr Johannes Andersen, who provided the data on magnetic tape to Dr Carlos Jaschek (CDS) as early as January 1977. The first version of this description file was done by Julie Anne Watko [SSDOO/ADC] in August 1996. UNKNOWN UNKNOWN * November 1996: addition of the file n75.dat, a revision of data2.dat, was prepared by Brian Skiff <bas@lowell.edu>. The positions, magnitudes, cross-identifications and notes have been improved as follows: - the GSC (Guide Star Catalogue version 1.1) was used to derive a position, by a comparison with the published charts; a few problem cases were checked against the digitized sky survey; positions were then improved with the PPM catalogues (<I/193> and <I/208>) - SIMBAD was searched around each position for cross-identifications (resulting also in SIMBAD fixes). The printed versions from Goddard of Durchmusterungen CoD <I/114> and CPD <I/108> were then searched for additional IDs by comparing positions and charts. - the Mermilliod's Lausanne photometric database was used to improve the B magnitudes. - the comments have been added.
