Description:
The selection of the stars of the Tycho program is mainly based on the
Tycho input catalogue (TIC), prepared by Egret et al. (1992) from
existing ground-based catalogues. The TIC is far to be the definitive
list of the stars that will appear in the final Tycho catalogue
however. The number of stars included within (3 million) is several
times larger than the number eventually expected. The selection of the
TIC stars that will remain in the final catalogue is planned in two
steps : The former is the "Recognition" that is based on the first
year of the scientific mission. The latter step of selection is the
final reduction of the Tycho data, which will require a few more
years.
The recognition was completed in 1992, and, among the 3,154,204 stars
of the TIC, about two third were not found in the observations. This
catalogue presents the 1,049,971 stars that are still in the
programme. The selection is nor definitive, nor complete; but it
should contain only a small percentage of stars that will still be
discarded. On another side, some stars missing in the TIC have been
added to the Tycho program, but the expected number of additional
stars to appear in the final catalogue should be about 5 % or less.
The list was announced in Halbwachs et al (1994). It is completed with
data (coordinates and magnitudes) from the main file of the Tycho
Input Catalogue. The cross-identifications with the Hipparcos Input
Catalogue or with the INCA database included in catalogue I/197/ are
not repeated here.
