The Henry Draper Extension Charts: A catalogue of accurate positions, proper motions, magnitudes and spectral types of 86933 stars
The Henry Draper Extension Charts (HDEC), published in the form offinding charts, provide spectral classification for some 87000 starsmostly between 10th and 11th magnitude. This data, being highlyvaluable, as yet was practically unusable for modern computer-basedastronomy. An earlier pilot project (Roeser et al. 1991) demonstrated apossibility to convert this into a star catalogue, using measurements ofcartesian coordinates of stars on the charts and positions of theAstrographic Catalogue (AC) for subsequent identification. We presenthere a final HDEC catalogue comprising accurate positions, propermotions, magnitudes and spectral classes for 86933 stars of the HenryDraper Extension Charts.
| A radial-velocity survey of the Hyades
Photoelectric radial-velocity measurements, obtained with external erroras small as 0.1 km/s using the 200-inch Hale telescope at PalomarObservatory during the period 1971-1986, are reported for over 400candidate members (with V magnitude between 6 and 14) of the Hyadescluster. The history of Hyades observations is recalled; the Palomarinstrumentation and observing program are described; the data-reductionand standardization procedures are discussed in detail; and the data arepresented in extensive tables and graphs. About 200 of the stars areclassified as cluster members, including 60 spectroscopic binaries.
| Photometry of possible members of the Hyades cluster. VI
Photoelectric observations in BVRI colors have been obtained for about200 stars suspected of being members of the Hyades cluster, mostly onthe basis of their proper motions. More than half of this total havebeen observed photometrically for the first time; the rest are mostlystars covered in the early papers of this series for which the V - Rcolors had not been determined and for which the accuracy of thephotometry could be improved by reobservation. Based on the photometry,about half of these stars appear to be probable cluster members. Most ofthe stars included here are faint and have appeared in proper-motionlists for which identification charts have not been available. Theiridentifications were confirmed from their motions measured on platestaken in the course of the Lick Proper Motion Survey. This list raisesto about 810 the total number of stars in the Hyades region withbroadband photometry. Of these, 365 appear to be probable or possiblemembers of the cluster.
