Description:
This document describes the magnetic tape version of a catalog of
1440 O-B5 star with radial velocities accurate to within 5 km/sec,
located within 3 kpc of the sun and within 10 degrees of the
galactic equator.
Radial velocities, luminosities and spectral classifications have
been included from the literature; proper motions have been
compiled for 898 of the stars.

Note (1): If no HD number is available, this designation represents
depending on byte 22:
"+" or "-" : sign of Bonner Durchmusterung (BD) or
Cape Photographic Durchmusterung (CPD)
For BD and CPD numbers, form is ZZNNNNNL where
ZZ = absolute value of declination zone
NNNNN = number within zone
L = blank, or "A", "B", etc.
"A" : Aitken Double Star Catalogue number
"I" : Index Catalogue (IC) number
"K" : Rspteyn (K) Selected Area number
"M" : Messier's (M) Catalogue number
"N" : New General Catalogue (NGC) number
Note (2): the following remark concerns the magnitude:
"P" indicates a photographic magnitude;
"V" refers to a variable;
"+" indicates a variable photographic
":" indicates last digit is uncertain
Note (3): the absorption is most often from (B-V) measures.
A value of 3 for the ratio of total to selective absorption has
been assumed. The entry Av = 0.0 indicates that the computed value
was negative, but always equal to 0.0 to one decimal place.
Note (4): velocity not corrected for the solar motion
Note (5): References of proper motions:

Historical Notes:
* September 1981 (Jaylee M. Mead, Robert S. Hill, ADC):
The magnetic tape version of this catalog was obtained from the
Centre de Donnees Stellaires (CDS), Strasbourg; it differed from
the original catalog in that the spectral type and source
references for the apparent magnitude, spectral type, absolute
magnitude, absorption and proper motion were omitted.
To facilitate processing of the data by computer, we have done the
following:
1. Restored the spectral type and all source references
2. Combined Tables I and IV of the published catalog by adding the
data for the 898 proper motion stars from Table IV to the appropriate
entry in Table I, as indicated by the asterisk in Table I immediately
following the running star number. The only entries omitted in the
combined table were those which were duplicated in Table IV: star
number, galactic longitude and radial velocity.
3. Separated out the Henry Draper Catalog numbers into one field with
all other identifiers in the next field; also, separated radial
velocity references into a separate field from the GCRV numbers.
4. Filled blank M, Av, and (m-M) fields with nines.
* 14-Feb-1995 (J.Florsch and F.Ochsenbein, CDS):
=> inserted the decimal point in columns RVel, Vmag and Av to avoid
any misinterpretation of missing decimals
=> corrected individual record 105 = HD 169271
* 17-Apr-2000 (F. Ochsenbein, CDS): added the description of refs.dat
