Description:
The present catalogue is a machine-readable version of the catalogue
of stars in the area of the Orion nebula, published by P.P. Parenago
(1954). The sky area between 5h 24m and 5h 36m in right ascension
(1900.0) and between -4 and -7 degrees in declination (1900.0),
containing the Orion nebula, has been investigated in that work.
Ten of variable stars in original Parenago (1954) catalogue had CSV
numbers (Kukarkin et al., 1951) but since that time all of them were
confirmed as variables and included in GCVS (Kholopov et al., 1985a&b,
1987). We superseded CSV-numbers by GCVS-names in the machine-readable
version for the following stars:

Note on Member:
the asterisk is set if a star is a member of the Orion nebula, blank
otherwise. Probably, not every member of the nebula is marked by '*',
but as Parenago (1954) noted "it was better to omit some of them
(members), than to include nonmember stars" (p.250). Altogether 634
stars have asterisks.
Note on m_Parenago:
There are two different stars with number 2617 in the catalogue:
2617 and 2617A.
Note on mpg:
Blank when the star is variable; in that case the corresponding
designation from GCVS (Kholopov et al., 1985a&b, 1987) appears in
columns 36-45.
Note on n_mpg: the flag has the following meaning:
'E' - if photographic magnitude represents approximate estimation
of visual or infrared magnitudes;
'N' - if the star is in the nebula and its influence
can be perceptible;
'S' - if the influence of the nebula is strong;
blank otherwise.
Note on SpType:
the spectral type (if existing) is a mean value both from literature
and from Parenago's classification.
The peculiarities 'e', 'ea' (read "e alpha") and 'eb' (read "e beta")
mean hydrogen emission at the moment of observations.

The catalogue was keypunched at the CDS and was checked at the
Soviet Center of Astronomical Data. It was documented by
O.Yu. Malkov in 1992.
