Description:
This catalog contains diffuse band data collected from an exhaustive
search of the literature and reduced to a common measurement system.
The authors have adopted Herbig (1975ApJ...196..129H 1975ApJ...196..129H) as a standard
data set for DIB measurements.

Note (1):
These measurements have been converted statistically to a common
measurement system by the authors, adopting the data of
Herbig (1975ApJ...196..129H 1975ApJ...196..129H) as the standard data set,
and using a least-squares fitting method.
Note (2):
These polarization data are primarily from
Hiltner (1956ApJS....2..389H 1956ApJS....2..389H) or
Serkowski et al. (1975ApJ...196..261S 1975ApJ...196..261S) or from the several
references given in the latter paper.

The references above 100 indicate other general catalogues,
eventually combined with a diffuse band reference:
100-130 Catalogue of Kennedy and Buscombe (1974; see Cat. III/78),
plus the diffuse band reference corresponding to the last
two digits.
200-230 Blanco et al (1968 ; see Cat. II/4) plus the corresponding
diffuse band reference
300-330 Hiltner (1956ApJS....2..389H 1956ApJS....2..389H) plus the corresponding diffuse
band reference
400-430 Bonner Durchmusterung (Cat. I/122 and I/119),
or Cordoba Durchmusterung (Cat. I/114), plus the
corresponding diffuse band reference
Note (4): be aware that some positions (especially those with Ref1=24
from Gammelgaard, 1975A&A....43...85G 1975A&A....43...85G) are only accurate to 0.1deg!
The * in the Note column indicates that the position is missing
in the published table, and was added in February 1997 with the
help of the SIMBAD data-base.
There are however 3 stars with missing positions, all from
Walker (1963MNRAS.125..141W 1963MNRAS.125..141W):
Arp e and Arp b (designated as "Special Cases" SC 900002 and
SC 900003 in the published table), and BD+61 2615 (which does
not exist in Bonner Durchmusterung)

History:
* The catalogue was keypunched at CDS under the control of J. Guarinos.
in 1988.
* The description was added by Julie Anne Watko [ADC] in June 1996.
* The "catalog" file was recreated and checked in February 1997
at CDS (Francois Ochsenbein). Some missing positions were added
(stars flagged in column Note, byte 30); a few misalignments were
corrected. The blank positions, magnitudes and spectral types in
consecutive records dealing with the same star were also filled.
Acknowledgements:
CDS would like to thank Mme F. Boisselier for the typing of the
machine readable version of the catalogue.
