Description:
The Compiled Catalogue of 1103 Mira type stars is created on the basis
of the 4-th edition of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars
(GCVS-4, Cat. II/214) and present day large high-precision
catalogues based on space (Hipparcos-Tycho family catalogues:
Hipparcos, Tycho-1 I/239, Tycho-2 (I/259), ACT RC (Urban et al.,
1998AJ....115.2161U 1998AJ....115.2161U), TRC (Cat. I/250) and ground-based (CMC11
I/256, PPM-N I/146, PPM-S I/193, PPM-add I/206, Kharchenko,
1992, Kinematics and physics of celestial bodies 8, 61) data.
Equatorial coordinates were taken from the source catalogues in
accordance with the following priority: Hipparcos, Tycho-2, Tycho-1,
CMC11, PPM, Kharchenko 1992. The proper motions in the Hipparcos
system are calculated for 1041 Miras as mean weighted values of the
reduced data from the source catalogues. The radial velocities
obtained from absorption lines for 786 Miras were taken from nine
catalogues and lists of
Feast (1963MNRAS.125..367F 1963MNRAS.125..367F, 1966MNRAS.132..495F 1966MNRAS.132..495F),
Smak and Preston (1965ApJ...142..943S 1965ApJ...142..943S),
Perry and Bidelman (1965PASP...77..214P 1965PASP...77..214P),
Feast et al. (1972MNRAS.158...23F 1972MNRAS.158...23F), Dean (1976AJ.....81..364D 1976AJ.....81..364D), Barnes
and Fekel (1977Obs....97....1B 1977Obs....97....1B), Feast et al. (1980MNRAS.190..227F 1980MNRAS.190..227F),
Barbier-Brossat and Figon (2000, Cat. III/213). Some radial
velocities were determined from emission lines and corrected using the
following formula (Ikaunieks, 1971, Long period variable stars,
Zinante, Riga): V_R(abs) - V_R(em) = 0.035 * Period.
For 724 Miras both proper motions and radial velocities are available.
Miras in the Compiled Catalogue are sorted in the same order as in
GCVS-4.
