Abstract:
Data on 455 H-α emission stars found in all parts of the Milky
Way, virtually all previously unpublished, are tabulated, with newly
measured coordinates usually accurate to better than 2". A half-dozen
stars appear to have been published previously with erroneous
coordinates, or to have been published but omitted from the general
catalog by Wackerling (1970MmRAS..73..153W 1970MmRAS..73..153W). Included among the new
stars are known OB stars of the Luminous Stars in the Northern Milky
Way survey, from the Hamburg zones, which were originally searched for
Hα emission at slightly lower spectral resolution than we have
used. The stars are in general of early spectral type, and are mostly
fainter than the limits of the DM catalogs. The objective-prism plates
covered the entire Milky Way within about 10deg of the galactic
equator, at a spectral dispersion of about 1000Å/mm at H-alpha.
Note:
This is the catalogue which includes the famous SS 433 object.

notes in the file "notes.dat"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note on Sp: Spectral types are almost always estimated from 580A/mm
blue-region objective-prism plates or quoted from the literature;
an absent type means that the star was too faint for our blue plates.
The symbols, other than the most standard ones, mean the following:
w = H-alpha emission weak, i.e. barely string enough to detect
it reliably.
s = H-alpha emission strong
le = emission lines seen in the blue spectral region
OBl = early-type star spectroscopically somewhat less luminous than
OB- (in the terminology of the LS catalogue)
ce = Balmer continuum in emission
r = reddened continuum
ov = classification complicated by a spectral overlap on the blue plate
