I/42                Preliminary Cat. of Fund. Faint Stars  (Zverev+, 1958)

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.
