Note : this is the description file of the original catalog. This HTML page corresponds well to the original description, but some minor changes in the format may have been introduced in the FITS output files in order to allow for arithmetic operations on quantities such as coordinates and times. h:m:s and d:m:s units are normally converted into degrees, and YYYY-MM-DD into julian days.
Similarly, some slight changes may have been introduced in the units; the value given in the HTML files supersedes the value indicated in the ReadMe file for this catalogue.

Description:
    This is an updated version of the original catalogue. New UBV
    photoelectric measurements were added from Isserstedt (1979, 1982),
    and Feitzinger and Isserstedt (1983). The remarks and origins of
    photoelectric photoelectric magnitudes are not included in this
    electronic version.

    Photoelectric data are obtained by averaging observational values made
    at 100 and more cm instruments (with weight=2) with ones made at 60
    and less cm instruments (with weight=1).

Abstract:
    A spectral survey has been made during the period 1971 to 1975 with
    the ESO 40cm astrograph at La Silla, equipped with its normal prism,
    giving an intermediate dispersion of 95Angstroem/mm at 4026Angstroem.
    Long exposure plates taken directly or with an interference filter
    enabled us to obtain spectral types for nearly 1600 stars. In
    parallel, a V photographic survey has been carried out during the same
    period with the same astrograph and has led to the determination of V
    magnitudes for more that 700 stars having no previous photometric data.
    New spectroscopic and photometric results as well as previous
    photoelectric UBV values are given in the catalogue together with
    additional remarks concerning peculiarities of spectra, V magnitudes,
    and details on double and multiple systems.

A value with two decimals means a standard error less than 0.07 mag; a value with one decimal only means a standard error less than 0.15 mag; a value with one decimal and a colon means a standard error higher than 0.15 mag or one determination of low quality.
