A Catalogue of observations in H alpha Ducati J.R. <Astron. Astroph. Suppl. 45, 119, (1981)> =1981A&AS...45..119D 1981A&AS...45..119D
ADC_Keywords: Photometry, H-alpha ; Equivalent widths Abstract: This catalogue contains 4095 published observations of the quantitative observations of Hα for 2700 stars. These observations were collected from values published between 1949 and 1980. The Hα index was reduced to a common system described by Strauss & Ducati (1981A&AS...44..337S 1981A&AS...44..337S); the values of the original index can be retrieved with a linear transformation (cc = correlation coefficient): ----------------------------------------------------------------- References a b cc lower upper Spectral range ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2 1.401 -1.604 0.972 1.050 1.170 10 1.33 -2.4 0.000 13 1.526 0.130 0.992 2.910 3.300 14,36 0.343 0.814 0.949 1.400 O B A0 14,36 0.269 0.969 0.972 1.470 A1 F G K M 20,21,22,23,37 0.39 -0.55 1.200 24,25 1.35 -1.48 0.922 1.020 1.170 ----------------------------------------------------------------- File Summary: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FileName Lrecl Records Explanation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ReadMe 80 .
