Compiled catalog of stellar data of Miras

The Compiled Catalogue of Mira variables is a result of a merge of the 4th edition of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS-4) <II/214A> and present-day high-precision catalogues of space (Hipparcos-Tycho family: Hipparcos <I/239>, Tycho-1 <I/239>, Tycho-2 <I/259>, ACT RC <I/246>, TRC <I/250>) and ground-based (CMC11 <I/256>, PPM-N <I/146>, PPM-S <I/193>, PPM-add <I/208>, Kharchenko 1992) data. The catalogue contains 1103 Miras.

Equatorial coordinates were taken from the source catalogues in accordance with the priority: Hipparcos, Tycho-2, Tycho-1, CMC11, PPM, Kharchenko 1992. The proper motions of 1041 Miras are calculated as mean weighted values of source data reduced to the Hipparcos system. The radial velocities of 786 Miras were taken from nine catalogues and lists of Feast (1963MNRAS.125..367F, 1966MNRAS.132..495F), Smak and Preston (1965ApJ...142..943S), Perry and Bidelman (1965PASP...77..214P), Feast et al. (1972MNRAS.158...23F), Dean (1976AJ.....81..364D), Barnes and Fekel (1977Obs....97....1B), Feast et al. (1980MNRAS.190..227F), Barbier-Brossat and Figon (2000) <III/213>, and are given with respect of the absorption lines.
