Catalogue of the Brightest Stars
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
This catalogue provides data on the 1628 stars brighter than magnitude 5.01 contained in the "catalogue des etoiles les plus brillantes" by Ochsenbein et al. (1984), compiled from the fourth edition of The Bright Star Catalogue (Hoffleit 1982).
Description
It differs from the original printed version by the following points: - the star designations in Hipparcos catalogue were added, as well as the positions expressed in the International Celestial Reference System (ICRS) (A) - the parallax and proper motion data were replaced by the Hipparcos values for almost all the bright stars (A) - the distances (expressed in light-years) were computed (A) - ecliptic coordinates were added to astrometric data - UBVRI photometry was taken from Lanz (1986); for that reason, three stars (HR 3229, HR 4392 and HR 6161) are fainter than 5 mag.
Moreover, the blanks due to unknown indices were filled with the value 99.99 (or 99.999 for the uvbyHbeta photometry). - the greek letter "delta" that appears in some spectral types is now written in latin letters instead of the code "<04>". - the luminosity classes are coded as integer numbers in an additional column. - the number of components of visual double stars is given. (A) indicates data added for version 'A'
