Description:
A search for faint blue stars conducted at the Observatories of
Tonantzintla and Minnesota has yielded 8746 objects which are somewhat
blue. The data file is organized into three sections with the same
column format. The first 1569 records are for stars with U-V of -0.4
or bluer, which are very definitely blue (Table II of the paper). The
next 2929 stars are somewhat blue, with U-V values of -0.3 or -0.2
(Table III of the paper). The final 4248 records give data for stars
with U-V of -0.1 or 0.0 (Table IV of the paper).
Photometric, spectroscopic, and proper-motion data have later been
acquired for these objects, which revealed the great variety of the
objects in this catalogue: white dwarfs, subdwarfs, QSOs (quasars),
compact and active galaxies. Finding charts and details about the
nature of these blue objects can be found in the following papers:
