Description:
The catalogue of radial velocities of Galactic stars with high
precision astrometric data, 2nd version (CRVAD-2), is the result of
a merging of star lists from the All-Sky Compiled Catalogue of 2.5
Million Stars (ASCC-2.5, Cat. I/280) with the General Catalogue of
Radial Velocities (GCRV, Cat. III/213) and with other recently
published radial velocity lists and catalogues. Cross identification
of objects was carried out with help of coordinate, magnitude, colour
and/or spectral type criteria. Data from the Catalogue of Components
of Double and Multiple Stars (CCDM, Cat. I/274) were taken into
account for the identification of multiple system components.
Altogether 54907 stars from the ASCC-2.5 were identified with 51762
stars from the RV source catalogues, 3085 stars have secondary
components and 30 stars have 3rd components in multiple systems. The
CRVAD-2 includes accurate J2000 equatorial coordinates, proper motions
and trigonometric parallaxes in the Hipparcos system, Johnson's BV
photometric data, spectral types, radial velocities, multiplicity and
variability flags. Stars are sorted in the order of increasing right
ascension J2000.
This catalogue supersedes the previous version numbered III/239.

Note on v1: Byte 292 (T47=Var) from Tycho-1 file tyc_main.dat
(I/239/tyc_main), as follows:
G = variable known in the General Catalog of Variable Stars (Cat. II/250)
N = variable known in the New Suspected Variables catalog (Cat. II/250)
Note on v2: Byte 294 (T48=VarFlag) from Tycho-1 file tyc_main.dat
(I/239/tyc_main), as follows:
U = apparent variability in the Tycho data; may be due to duplicity

entry signifies that the entry could not be classified as variable
or constant):
C = no variability detected ("constant")
D = duplicity-induced variability
M = possibly micro-variable (amplitude < 0.03mag)
P = periodic variable
R = V-I colour index was revised due to variability analysis
U = unsolved variable which does not fall in the other categories

value from other sources is given to a precision of 0.1mag

combined light)
R = duplicity weakly indicated, combined with indication of variability
S = duplicity suspected
Y = investigation for duplicity carried out on Tycho data,
no indication of duplicity was found

C = solutions for the components
G = acceleration or higher order terms
O = orbital solutions
V = variability-induced movers (apparent motion arises from variability)
X = stochastic solution (probably astrometric binaries with short period)
Note on SpType: was compiled from Spectral type given in the
ASCC-2.5 (I/280) and GCRV (III/213)
