Documentation for the Machine-Readable Version of a Supplement to the Bright Star Catalogue (Hoffleit, Saladyga and Wlasuk 1983)

摘要

Detailed descriptions of the three files of the machine-readable catalog are given. The files of the original tape have been restructured and the data records reformatted to produce a uniform data file having a single logical record per star and homogeneous data fields. The characteristics of the tape version as it is presently being distributed from the Astronomical Data Center are given and the changes to the original tape supplied are described.
