I/57 Abbadia Catalogue of 14263 Stars, +16 to +24° (Hendaye 1915)
Catalogue de 14263 Etoiles comprises entre +16 et +15°
Hendaye
<Imprimerie de l'observatoire d'Abbadia (1915)>
ADC_Keywords: Positional data
Description:
This catalog contains meridian circle observations of 14192 reference
stars in the Paris Observatory zone of the Astrographic Catalog, +16
to +24deg, made from 1899 to 1906. The original catalog contains also
a supplement of 81 stars, which is not included here. The positions
have been reduced to 1900.0 on the basis of Newcomb's constants. The
probable errors for most stars range from 0.0093s to 0.0161s in right
ascension and from 0.096" to 0.162" in declination, depending on the
number of observations. In addition to the positions, the catalog
contains a running number, the magnitude from the Berlin catalogs, the
mean epoch and number of observations, and the BD number.

24- 26 I3 0.1yr Ep-1890 Mean epoch of observation, from 1890
27- 29 I3 0.1yr Ep2-1890 ? Mean epoch of Declination, if differs
from Ep-1890
30- 31 I2 --- Nobs Number of observations
32- 33 I2 --- Nob2 ? Number of observations in Declination,
if differs from Nobs
34- 37 I4 --- BDno ? BD number in the zone (1)
38- 39 I2 --- BDz ? Zone of BD number (1)
40 I1 --- m_BD [1,3]? for stars sharing the same BD number
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): for bright stars, BDno contains the Flamsteed number and
BDz is blank; in this case, the printed version includes the
constellation name which is not reported here. In practice
it just means that the BD numbers of bright stars are not
reported in this catalog.
