CDS 19 74 1980 1980BICDS..19...74O I/131 : SAO Star Catalog J2000 (SAO Staff 1966; USNO, ADC 1990) Ochsenbein, F., Bischoff, M., Egret, D.: 1981, A&AS 43, 265 Jenkins, L.F.: 1952, "General Catalogue of Stellar Trigonometric Parallaxes", Yale Univ. Obs. (see catalog <I/10>) Jenkins, L.F.: 1963, "Supplement to the General Catalogue of Stellar Trigonometric Parallaxes", Yale Univ. Obs. (see catalog <I/81>) Radial velocities Combined data Photometry, UBV MK spectral classification This SAO catalogue (Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Catalogue of 258,997 stars, 1966; see catalog <I/131>), connected to the CSI (Catalogue of Stellar Identifications, see Ochsenbein et al. 1981), enables researchers to retrieve reliable astrophysical data for about 20,000 stars. This includes SAO identifications, CSI identifications, equatorial coordinates (B1950), Galactic coordinates, proper motions, photometric data, spectral classifications, radial velocity, etc. The SAO/HD cross index for about 188,000 stars allows users to find (or enter) the catalog with the HD number of the star. The notes contain detected errors, the value of the trigonometric parallax taken from the Jenkins' (1952, 1963) catalogues, the double star designation ADS or IDS, and the name of the star.

SAO SAO number --- n_SAO a note is detailed in file "notes.dat" --- HD HD number --- m_HD component; / indicates consecutive BD numbers --- DM DM designation DM covers the Bonner, Cordoba and Cape Durchmusterungen designations: when byte 18 blank, DMcode specifies which DM: 0 .. 19 = BD 20 .. 39 = CoD 40 .. 59 = CPD When byte 18 is not blank (contains a dash), the star is not in any Durchmusterung, and DMcode is non-zero for components of multiple systems. --- DMcode DM catalog --- RAh Right ascension - hours (1950.0) h RAm Right ascension - minutes (1950.0) min RAs Right ascension - seconds (1950.0) s DE- Declination sign --- DEd Declination degrees (1950.0) deg DEm Declination minutes (1950.0) arcmin DEs Declination seconds (1950.0) arcsec GLON Galactic longitude deg GLAT Galactic latitude deg pmRA Proper motion in RA arcsec/a q_pmRA Quality of proper motion in RA A = me. <= 0.01"/a B = me. <= 0.02"/a C = me. <= 0.03"/a D = me. <= 0.04"/a E = me. > 0.04"/a --- pmDE Proper motion in DE arcsec/a q_pmDE Quality of proper motion in DE --- Mag Generally V magnitude, sometimes B From Nicolet if available (1978a); otherwise from Blanco et al.
