Description:
The present catalogue is the third version and supersedes the first
one (1991-1994) published by Malaroda et al. (2000A&AS..144....1M 2000A&AS..144....1M,
Cat. III/204). We have revised the issues of the journals listed in
Table 1, for the period 1991-1998. It is not a complete list of all
journals devoted to astronomical literature, but they are the most
important ones and those available at our libraries. We prepared a
plain ASCII file with the object identifications as provided by the
authors. This file was transferred to the SIMBAD database, and, using
the proper formats and filters, we have retrieved the identification
for each object according to the rules of SIMBAD. In the same way we
have also retrieved: the J2000 coordinates, the V magnitude, and the
spectral classification for each object.

Note (1): We have preferred for identification the HD, CD or CPD numbers,
in that order. Stars in clusters are indicated with the cluster's name
and the number of the stars according to the primary identification
paper for that particular cluster, found either at SIMBAD or
Mermilliod's database (which was accessed through the web of the
Geneva Observatory).
Note (2): Right ascension is given to the tenth of a minute and has been
retrieved from SIMBAD. Declination is given to the minute and has been
retrieved from SIMBAD.
Note (3): Spectra have been retrieved from the SIMBAD database.
In some cases, when the number of symbols is large, the spectral type
has been truncated.
Note (4): For each object we have included the average radial velocity
provided by the author. If the number of radial velocity measurements
is more than 1, and an average has not been calculated by the author,
we have not included any radial velocity at all. If the star is a
spectroscopic binary, for which an orbit has been computed, then the
systemic radial velocity is quoted in this column.
Note (5): We have included in this column an acronym to indicate
the nature of the star, when mentioned by the author.
Acronyms are as follows:
CEPH: Cepheids
ORB: An orbit has been computed. The systemic radial velocity is listed
SB1: Single lined binary
SB2: Double lined binary
EM: Emission lines. The radial velocity is derived from emission lines
SB: Spectroscopic binary
CV: Cataclysmic variable
VAR: Star with variable radial velocity, according to the author
LMC: Star belonging to the Large Magellanic Cloud
STND: Radial velocity standard
CONST: Star with constant radial velocity, according to the author
SYMB: Symbiotic star
BMP: Blue metal poor star
VB: Visual binary
Note (6): We have included in this column one of the above parameters.
It is not possible to confuse the resolving power with any of the
other two parameters because, in general, resolving power is a
relatively large number compared with dispersion or resolution.
As in the case of the dispersion or resolution, an ambiguity may
arise, we have added an R to the number when it refers to the
resolution.
COR: radial velocity was derived through cross correlation techniques
(like Coravel, for example)
REL: relative velocity
SEV: more than one resolving power or resolution have been used
OP: objective prism observations
IUE: radial velocities were derived from observations obtained with
the International Ultraviolet Explorer (See cat. VI/99)
