Description:
The present catalogue is the twelfth version and the continuation
of the first one (1991-1994) published by Malaroda et al.
(2000A&AS..144....1M 2000A&AS..144....1M). Since the 2005 version, we present the
catalogue in a database for helping the search. We have revised
the issues of the journals listed in Table 1, for the period
1991-2006June. 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 for mats 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.
All types are explained in notes.dat file
Note (6): We have included in this column one of the resolution 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)
Note (7): For velocities taken from Sartoretti et al., 1998A&A...334..592S 1998A&A...334..592S,
the vsini value was quoted instead of the Vave value. A "c" in the
n_RV columns indicates corrected values, i.e. Vave quoted.
