I/10 General Catalogue of Stellar Trigonometric Parallaxes (Jenkins 1952-1963)
General Catalogue of Stellar Trigonometric Parallaxes
Jenkins L.F.
<Yale University Observatory (1952,1963)>
ADC_Keywords: Parallaxes, spectroscopic ; Proper motions
Abstract:
This catalog was keypunched from the General catalogue of
trigonometric stellar parallaxes compiled at the Yake University
Observatory by Louise F. Jenkins. It includes the left-hand pages
of the 1952 edition and the 1963 supplement.

Note (1): Numbers with a non-zero fraction like 16.1 were assigned to stars
added in the 1963 supplement; the numbers ending with '.0' are stars
from the 1952 edition.
Note (2): The 'S' indicates data from the 1963 Supplement edition.
Numeric values were assigned to components of multiple systems.
Note (3): the asterisk (*) indicates variable stars; 'P' stands for
photographic (blue), and V for visual.
