A Galactic O Star Catalog
Walborn, Nolan R.; Maíz-Apellániz, Jesús; Galué, Héctor Á. +1 more
We have produced a catalog of 378 Galactic O stars with accurate spectral classifications that is complete for V<8 but includes many fainter stars. The catalog provides cross-identifications with other sources; coordinates (obtained in most cases from Tycho-2 data); astrometric distances for 24 of the nearest stars; optical (Tycho-2, Johnson, a…
New Hipparcos-based Parallaxes for 424 Faint Stars
Gould, Andrew; Chanamé, Julio
We present a catalog of 424 common proper-motion companions to Hipparcos stars with good (>3 σ) parallaxes, thereby effectively providing new parallaxes for these companions. Compared with typical stars in the Hipparcos catalog, these stars are substantially dimmer. The catalog includes 20 white dwarfs and an additional 29 stars with MV
Spectral Classification of Stars in A Supplement to the Bright Star Catalogue
Abt, Helmut A.
MK spectral types are given for about 584 stars in A Supplement to the Bright Star Catalogue. These are compared with Hipparcos parallaxes to check the reliability of those classifications. The estimated errors are +/-1.2 subtypes, and 10% of the luminosity classes may be wrong.
Preliminary Orbits for Eight Visual Binaries
Ling, J. F.
This paper reports orbits and masses calculated for the visual binary stars WDS 00427-6537 (I440), WDS 01084-5515 (RST 1205 AB), WDS 01343-0827 (A314), WDS 03590+0947 (HU 27), WDS 10287+4558 (A1993), WDS 12429+0516 (A1602), WDS 20157+4339 (A2095 AB), and WDS 22180-6249 (I20). All the orbits have previously been announced in IAU Commission 26 Infor…
