Description (from B. Skiff):
The list below shows precise coordinates and IDs for the southern OB
stars found by Lynga (1964MeLu2.141....1L 1964MeLu2.141....1L). In general I relied on
Lynga's CPD or CD identification to identify the stars. It was usually
obvious when these were incorrect, either by star-color or motion, or
the fact that it was not included in any later surveys (per the Reed
OB stars catalogue, V/125). I used Lynga's charts if available to
identify the stars in 2002, and re-examined some of these for the
present revision.
All the CD names from Lyngas catalog where checked -- the italic font
used for CD numbers in his printed list is not always distinctive.
Lynga missed a few CD/CPD identifications. Coordinates are now from
UCAC2 or Tycho-2. I show complete HD, CD, and CPD names, since the
latter two are often very similar and are mixed-up in the literature
as well as in the source list. I give approximate V magnitudes either
from published photometry (via VizieR items II/168, II/215, or V/125)
or from ASAS-3 (http://www.astrouw.edu.pl/asas/?page=aasc). The Reed
OB stars catalogue lacks magnitudes for many of the fainter stars.
