Description:
The first version of this catalogue was published in Abh.Hamburger
Sternw. 1978, Vol.10, p 1ff. (CDS Catalogue II/129). A second version
was published in 1987 (1987A&AS...69...87W 1987A&AS...69...87W) and microfiches (CDS
Catalogue II/147). A third version was published 1995A&AS..109..177W 1995A&AS..109..177W
(CDS Catalogue II/199).
The basic concept of the earlier versions is preserved (in file
"catalog.txt"), namely one entry per star per frequency per paper.
Space is now provided, however, to add more informations. These may
be of technical or astronomical nature. Usually month and year of
observation and the number of independent data points or length of
monitoring session are given.
In the file "catalog.txt", all radio data are preceded by a header
which contains information on the star or stellar system. (Note, that
a physical stellar system is regarded as one single entry and that
comments pertaining to individual components are found directly behind
the observational data). Stellar data like names, position, proper
motion, magnitudes and spectroscopic types are given in fixed format
in a self-explanatory fashion. It is tried to have typical values from
commonly available references. It is not intended to compete here with
other compilations. These header informations are collected when the
star is entered for the first time. They are only changed when new
values are available while additional radio references are added. An
arbitrarily expandable section for unformatted text finishes the
header. Finally, the units of the radio data remain in MHz (column#1)
and mJy (columns #2. and #3). All coordinates refer to epoch and
equinox 1950.0 (e.g. B1950).
This is a so-called merged version e.g. all stars, those detected at
least once and those with upper limits only, are listed in order of
ascending right ascension. The detected stars are marked with a "D" in
the outermost right hand column in lines 1 to 5 ('D' in column "Det"
of the file "stars.dat").
The last updating occurred on 2001-Mar-06. In this version stars have
new running numbers.
