Abstract:
We present an extensive and up-to-date catalog of Galactic β
Cephei stars. This catalog is intended to give a comprehensive
overview of observational characteristics of all known β Cephei
stars, covering information until 2004 June. Ninety-three stars could
be confirmed to be β Cephei stars. We use data from more than 250
papers published over the last nearly 100 years, and we provide over
45 notes on individual stars. For some stars we reanalyzed published
data or conducted our own analyses. Sixty-one stars were rejected from
the final β Cephei list, and 77 stars are suspected to be β
Cephei stars. A list of critically selected pulsation frequencies for
confirmed β Cephei stars is also presented.
