Catalogue of stars with high-proper motions. Version 2.
Description:
Catalogue of stars with high-proper motions (more than 0.04 arcsec/year)
has been compiled using original definitions from catalogue FONAC1.1, the
data of catalogues Hipparcos, Tycho-2, UCAC2(up to +40 degrees in declination
and going up to +52 degrees in some areas), CMC (STAR 11), PPM, NPM1, NPM2,
XZ80Q, Pul-3, Pul2, NLTT, LHS, GCVS, Lowell Proper Motion, Bruce Proper Motion
as well as the data of about 770 other published sources. The list consist of
555200 such stars with limiting magnitude 16 (companions for multiple systems
up to 17) in a declination zone from -2.5 to +90 degrees. Besides astrometric
parameters (equatorial coordinates, proper motions, estimations of stars
magnitudes) catalogue includes some astrophysical characteristics (magnitudes
in UBVRIJHK system, radial velocities, spectra, luminosity class, metallisity
[Fe/H] or [M/H]; flags of multiple system, of variable star and other). For
convenience of usage original numbers of stars from different cataloques the
author's lists of stars and basic sources are given too. Very offen the same
star being met in different catalogues has a various identification.
Cross-identifications of such stars were carried out [1]. At present
catalogue includes codes of 63 cataloques and author's lists of stars.
Catalogue is given by a file stars arranged on right ascension. Information of each star is recorded in a digital integer form with one line including 308 symbols. Because of the presense of additional information (some values of star magnitude definition, radial velocities of stars etc.) there wos an increase in the number of lines for each star. Therefore the total number of lines consist of 618250.
The values of rigth ascention, declinition, magnitude, radial velocities and other parameters are written out with accuracy of their definition in sources. If the values of parameters for a concrete star taken from various sources were difer within the limits of 0.01-0.02 - in star madnitudes, 1km/sec - in radial velocities, 0.1 - in metallisity, their averaging were carried out. For multiple systems the values of angles and and distances from central star up to companions were updater on receiving the new information. Beginning the second line there are blanks in the columns of declination (B1950.0, J2000.0), proper motion, epoch if star information is recorded in several lines. These values were written out if additional accurate or strongly different ones from the other coordinates and proper motions in corresponding columns for J2000.0 were available. The number of the source, coordinates and proper motions originated from, has been written mainly in the last column assigned for the number (pos. 35-38). Values of right ascention (B1950.0) for the multiline star are identical.
Catalogue is regularly sumpplemented.
Let's consider a table of record of star information.
