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

A Preliminary General Catalogue of Fundamental Faint Stars between declinations +90 and -20 degrees (PFKSZ) Zverev M.S., Polojentsev D.D. <Publ. Pulkovo (2), 72 (1958) > =1958TrPul..72....5Z 1958TrPul..72....5Z
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.
