Description:
The published report was prepared by R.T. Hall (1974) for the Space
and Missile systems Organization, Air Force System Command. The
machine version includes a 10-micrometer catalog number, object name,
right ascension and declination (B1950), galactic coordinates, proper
motions, spectral types, magnitudes in the V(0.55um), I(0.84um),
K(2.2um) and N(10um) bands, flux measurements at 10um, and cross
identifications to the numbering systems of the Durchmusterung
catalogs, the SAO catalog, the Bright Star Catalogue, The Henry Draper
Catalogue and the GC, and CalTech Two-Micron Sky Survey (Neugebauer
and Leighton, Cat. II/2) where such identifications exist.

Note (1): Star name hierarchy is:
(1) = Bayer Greek alphabetic notation (letters µ and ν are spelled
muu and nuu to eliminate confusion with Argelander variable star
notation)
(2) = Argelander variable star notation
(3) = Flamsteed number
(4) = Bayer Roman alphabetic notation
(used as little as possible because of lowercase letters)
(5) = Other notation
Note (2): The original Flux measurements (in 10-16W/cm2/µm) are
given, separated by commas. Also, units of original measurement
and filter band used are given. If no letter or letters follow
a given, value, then original value has units of W/cm2/µm.
The letter designations have the following meanings:
A = Original measurement expressed in magnitude
B = Original measurement expressed in W/m2 /Hz
C = Original measurement made with N (Prime) filter
D = Original measurement made with O filter
E = N-filter value obtained by interpolation
between N(prime) and O measurements
F = Original measurement made with 10 micron filter
G = Original measurement made with 10.1 micron filter
H = Original measurement made with 10.2 micron filter
I = Original measurement made with 10.7 micron filter
J = Original measurement made with 11.0 micron filter
K = Original measurement made with 11.5 micron filter
L = Original measurement made with 12-14 micron filter

History:
The catalogue of 10 micron Celestial Objects was a published report
by R. T. Hall (Aerospace Corporation) for the Space and Missile
System Organization (report number SAMSO-TR-74-212) in 1974. The
catalogue was received in card deck form from Hall through the
National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at NASA/GSFC. The
catalogue was transferred to magnetic tape with an equal number of
bytes for each record and changing some special symbols as
described below.
Modifications and Remarks:
This document includes the original ADC documentation of this catalog
prepared by Theresa A. Nagy.
Several special characters which are not part of the IBM 360 print
chain were changed to correspond with the print chain available on
the IBM 360 series at NASA/GSFC.

Quantities in the flux/micron (x10-16) field which have any of
the symbols (<, ≤) should have in the N magnitude field the
corresponding opposite relation (>, ≥), respectively. In the
hard copy of the catalogue there were several pairs which did
not have such a one-to-one correspondence, and the following
changes were made to correct this situation, assuming in all
cases that the relationship associated with the flux/micron
value was the "correct" relationship.

All of the entries preceded by the symbol "<" in the tape version
of the catalogue include those which should be preceded by either
the "<" symbol or the "≤" symbol. Since the latter symbol is not
available in the print chain on the computer used here at
NASA/GSFC, the symbol "<" includes both cases. The following is
a list of the ten-micron sources where the value of flux/micron
should be preceded by a "≤" sign.

000412 020941 090692 120181 170051 191011

010322 081341 120123 130421 181132
Similarly, all of the above entries should include the equality with the ">"
symbol in the N magnitude field.
The catalog was reformatted in April 1995 where the implicit
decimal point was made explicit. Special symbols were separated
from the data values and excessive blank columns were removed.
