WEB Catalog of Radial Velocities

We give a common version of the two catalogues of Mean Radial Velocities by Wilson (1953; catalogue <III/21>) and Evans (1978; catalogue <III/47>) to which we have added the catalogue of spectroscopic binary systems (Batten et al. 1989; catalogue <V/64>). For each star, when possible, we give: 1) an acronym to enter SIMBAD (Set of Identifications Measurements and Bibliography for Astronomical Data; see <cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Simbad.html>) of the CDS (Centre de Donnees Astronomiques de Strasbourg). 2) the number HIC of the HIPPARCOS catalogue (Turon 1992; catalogue <I/196>). 3) the CCDM number (Catalogue des Composantes des etoiles Doubles et Multiples) by Dommanget & Nys (1994; catalogue <I/211>).

For the cluster stars, a precise study has been done, on the identification numbers. Numerous remarks point out the problems we have had to deal with. REMARKS: => In the paper, and in the file "annex2", the equinox of the coordinates is 1950, whereas 2000 equinox is used for the web catalog; => In the paper, read "Wilson (1953)" instead of "Wilson (1963)"
