ADC_Keywords: Meridian observations ; Positional data ; Proper motions
Description:
The PFKSZ is based on 14 catalogues, observed at 10 observatories
(Bucharest, Wroslaw, Kiev, Goloseevo-GAO, Kazan, GAISH, Odessa,
Pulkovo, Tashkent, Kharkov).
The catalogue PFKSZ contain 587 stars from 7.3 to 8.4 vis.mag. Most of
the catalogues have been obtained from differential meridian
observations in the FK3 system. The proper motions were found in the
FK3 system mainly from GC, AGK2 (or AGK2A), Yale and PFKSZ catalogues.
The precision of PFKSZ catalogue is
Mean Error(in Alfa x cos Decl.) = ± 0.0068 timesec
Mean Error(in Decl.) = ± 0.127 arcsec
for the mean epoch 1949.0.
