Description:
The Compiled Catalogue of Mira variables is a result of a merge of
the 4th edition of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS-4)
II/214A and present-day high-precision catalogues of space
(Hipparcos-Tycho family: Hipparcos I/239, Tycho-1 I/239, Tycho-2
I/259, ACT RC I/246, TRC I/250) and ground-based (CMC11 I/256,
PPM-N I/146, PPM-S I/193, PPM-add I/208, Kharchenko 1992) data.
The catalogue contains 1103 Miras. Equatorial coordinates were taken
from the source catalogues in accordance with the priority: Hipparcos,
Tycho-2, Tycho-1, CMC11, PPM, Kharchenko 1992. The proper motions of
1041 Miras are calculated as mean weighted values of source data
reduced to the Hipparcos system. The radial velocities of 786 Miras
were taken from nine catalogues and lists of Feast (1963MNRAS.125..367F 1963MNRAS.125..367F,
1966MNRAS.132..495F 1966MNRAS.132..495F), Smak and Preston (1965ApJ...142..943S 1965ApJ...142..943S), Perry
and Bidelman (1965PASP...77..214P 1965PASP...77..214P), Feast et al. (1972MNRAS.158...23F 1972MNRAS.158...23F),
Dean (1976AJ.....81..364D 1976AJ.....81..364D), Barnes and Fekel (1977Obs....97....1B 1977Obs....97....1B),
Feast et al. (1980MNRAS.190..227F 1980MNRAS.190..227F), Barbier-Brossat and Figon (2000)
III/213, and are given with respect of the absorption lines. For
those radial velocities, which were determined from emission lines the
correction has been made along with Ikaunieks (1971) relation:
VR(abs) - VR(em) = 0.035 * Period.
For 724 Miras both proper motions and radial velocities are available.
The stars in the Compiled Catalogue are sorted in the same order as in
the General Catalogue of Variable Stars.
