97-103 F7.1 km/s RVel ? Radial Velocity from Wilson (1953)
or Evans (1967)
104 A1 --- q_RVel [A-F] Quality on Radial Velocity
(A=good, E=very poor)
106-109 A4 --- n_Sp Dispersive system used, or quality
from Houk's catalogue (when Sep='X') (3)
110 A1 --- Sep [/X] Separator ('X' when Sp is from Houk)
112-127 A16 --- Sp Spectral classification (3)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): The CSI designation (see Ochsenbein et al. 1980) is made of 3 parts:
the zone, the number, and a code.
For a positive number, the code indicates which Durchmusterung the
zone and number refer to:
- BD (Bonner Durchmusterung) for 0 ≤ code ≤ 19
- CD (Cordoba Durchmusterung) for 20 ≤ code ≤ 39
- CPD (Cape Durchmusterung) for 40 ≤ code ≤ 59
A negative number (constructed from 1950 right ascension) is assigned
for non-DM stars.
Note (2): the quality number (1=poor, 4=good) comes from the UBV catalogue
by Nicolet (1978);
Note (3): The MK classification from N. Houk (1975, 1978) includes a quality
from 1 (good) to 4 (poor), a '+' for spectra classified in other sources,
and 'X' when several spectra were available. When Sep is a '/', the
classification is from Jaschek (1978)

Historical Notes:
* June 1980: catalogue prepared and archived at CDS
* 12-Jul-1995: the catalogue was reformatted at CDS:
=> elimination of record headers "5017A1"
=> creation of a dedicated column for the ':' uncertainty flag u_Vmag
which was previously embedded in the Vmag column
=> addition of the standard documentation
* 22-Jul-2000: The minus sign for declinations between 0 and -10
degrees has been inserted.
