Description:
This catalog contains means of measurements of radial velocities of
galactic stars. The data supplement the catalogs of Wilson (1953)
III/21 and Evans (1978) III/47 with observations published through
December 1980. There are new mean velocities for 6023 stars with new
radial velocity data; more than 4500 of these stars are not in the
earlier catalogs. A weighting scheme was used to form the mean
velocities with data from cross-correlation spectrometers given
highest weight and low dispersion (less than 100 A/mm) spectra given
lowest weight. No systematic zero-point corrections were made but
observations were taken from the literature only if they were
standardized to the IAU or Wilson (1953) systems.

remark ('O' or 'S') exists in byte 81.

Note (1):
The coordinates are those published by the author when existing;
they are otherwise taken from the C.S.I. (Catalogue of Stellar
Identifications, Strasbourg Data Center), or derived from other
sources.
Note (2):
The radial velocity has no fractional part when the mean error
is larger than 3.70 km/s.
For binaries (byte 81 = 'O'), we provide the systemic velocity
of the most recently published orbit calculation.
For standard stars (byte 81 = 'S'), we provide the most recent
value recommended by I.A.U. This value will be regularly updated.
