Abstract:
We publish a Bibliographic Catalogue of Stellar Radial Velocities
including about 44000 entries for Galactic and Magellanic Cloud stars
for the years 1971-1990. The two preceding issues published (1989,
A&AS, 80, 67 and 1990, A&AS 85, 885) are mixed with the new data
covering the years 1986-1990.

Note (1): Uppercase letters are used for visual double stars,
lowercase letters for spectroscopic double stars. In the second case,
the letter 'a' has been replaced by the letter 'i' . The symbol '/'
indicates that the measure concerns 2 stars with consecutive HD
numbers or that the radial velocity is relative to the measure of the
2 components of the same star.
Note (2): Letters W, E and B are related to the "Catalogue General de Synthese"
realised from the catalogues of Wilson, Evans and Batten
(catalog III/190)
Note (3): Abbreviations used:
CEPH = Cepheid. The mean velocity is then provided.
DBL, TRI, QUAD, MUL = double, triple, quadruple, multiple star respectively
DE = eclipsing binary
DS, DS1, DS2 = spectroscopic binary, with 1 or 2 line systems
EM = velocity calculated from emission lines
ORB = orbit; the star systemic velocity is provided
(unexplained 'E' for Cyg X-1)
RRLY = RR Lyrae star. The RR lyrae star gravity center is provided
STND = IAU standard star
VAR = variable radial velocity, according to the author.
Note (4): Dispersion used for the radial velocity determination.
If the published velocity is the mean of several velocities obtained
with very different dispersions, there is no value of the dispersion.
Otherwise, we mention the lowest dispersion used preceded by the
symbol <.
COR: velocities are measured with a correlation spectrophotometer

Note (6): Remarks:
* Ma 260 in AAP 17, 253-1972. We deleted the BD identification given by the
author because it doesn't correspond to the star coordinates
* LTT 664 = CD-44 334 instead of CD-44 344 in AJ 84, 1553-1979
* Fl 770 in POAS 2, 1-1972. The published coordinates don't correspond to
those of star CP-74 106. We deleted this identification.
* HD 11154 = HR 530 instead of HD 11155 in APJS 62, 147
* HD 22484 = BD-0 572 instead of BD+0 572 in AAPS 71, 253
* vB 188 instead of vB 178 in AJ 88, 844-1983 from published coordinates
* HD 36486 in APJ 214, 759-1977. The systemic velocity +118.3 published seems
wrong compared with other publications. This velocity might be +18.3
* Gl 234A instead of 243A in APJS 314, 272-1987
* NGC 2287 c4 = HD 49105 in AAPS 62, 301-1985. The coordinates and the
spectral type published in the paper don't correspond to those of HD.
We deleted this identification.
* HD 86612 instead of HD 86162 in AAPS 63, 87-1986
* CC Com in PASP 89, 684-1977. The coordinates are different from those of
the "Catalogue d'Etoiles Variables" by Kukarkin.
* HD 112211 instead of 12211 in AJ 89, 1897-1984
* HD 119191 instead of 19191 in AJ 89, 1897-1984
* CD-29 10863 instead of CD-20 10863 in AJ 89, 1897-1984
* HD 129981 instead of HD 129881 in MN 159, 67-1972
* HD 151985 instead of 151895 in APJS 64, 487-1982
* Case 437 in AJ 81, 364-176. We adopted the coordinates from Case catalogue
which differ slightly from the published ones.
* CD-23 13997 instead of CP-23 13997 in MN 158, 85-1972
* CD-23 13998 instead of CP-23 13998 in MN 158, 85-1972
* CD-35 12911 in POCC 2, 40-1970. The author coordinates differ from
those indicated in SIMBAD, which we have adopted.
* APJS 73, 843-1990. There is some confusion between the corresponding
numbers.
cya 51=CCS 2866=nb 201;
cya 50=CCS 2862=nb 202;
cya 77=CCS 2873;
cya 76=CCS 2874
* BD+15 4915 instead of BD+15 4914 in PASP 97, 1086-1985
General remarks:
* MN 230, 273-1988 = DAO 16, 297-1988. The stars in these two articles are
identical. We only retained the DAO paper, which was earlier.
* AJ 87, 1679-1982 and AJ 94, 1600-1987. Some stars are in the two papers
with the same data. In this case, the second publication was ignored.
* APJS 64, 487-1987. We detected errors in the mean radial velocities,
and we recalculated mean RV
* AAPS 48, 409-1982. As requested by the authors, the radial velocities
published there replace those form AAPS 13, 173, 1974:
the latter data were removed from the catalogue.
* AJ 93, 463-1987. These stars are from the study of van den Berg (1971),
and they differ from those indicated in SIMBAD which are from an
earlier publication of the same author (1966).
* Corrections have been made in the papers AAPS 43, 297-1981, AAPS 49,
483-1982, AAPS 58, 435-1984 et AAPS 68, 515-1987, with the authorisation
of the authors.
* AAPS 4, 231-1971. The corrections published by the author in the erratum
in AAPS 16, 277-1974 have been taken into account.
