CDROM/AJ/V106/P0591 Halo Early-Type Stars (Rodgers+ 1993) ================================================================================ Early-Type Stars in Orthogonal Halo Fields. I. An Objective-Prism Survey A. W. Rodgers, W. H. Roberts, & I. Walker <1993, AJ, 106, 591> =1993AJ....106..591R ================================================================================ Abstract: The results are reported of an objective-prism survey of stars, mostly earlier than spectral type F5, for two fields at (l;b) = (90 deg and 270 deg; -45 deg). The fields, each of approximately 70 square degrees, are examined on plates taken with the Schmidt Telescope of the Anglo-Australian Observatory. The brightness range of the stars classified is 10 < V < 15. The prism combination used provides a dispersion of 600 A/mm at Hgamma. The spectral classification presented is defined by the equality of equivalent widths of Ca II K and Hdelta at type "F0" and the absence of Ca II K in stars with significant Balmer lines at type "A0". Positions listed in the catalog were measured on the Stromlo PDS microdensitometer. Most stars were subsequently identified with objects in the ST ScI-NASA-ESO Hubble Space Telescope Guide Star Catalog in which positions have an accuracy of near +/- 1.0 arcsec.

Twelve objective prism plates with a prism giving a dispersion of 600 A/mm at Hgamma were obtained on request by the staff of the Schmidt Telescope Unit of the Anglo-Australian Observatory. The plates were examined visually with a low power microscope and the spectra classified by A.W. Rodgers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: table2.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 9 A9 --- Object Object identifier 10-11 2X --- --- Blank 12-13 F2.0 h RAh Right Ascension, J2000.0 14 1X --- --- ':' 15-16 F2.0 min RAm R.A. 17 1X --- --- ':' 18-22 F5.2 s RAs R.A. 23 1X --- --- Blank 24 A1 --- DE- Sign of declination, J2000.0 25-26 F2.0 deg DEd Declination, J2000.0 27 1X --- --- ':' 28-29 F2.0 arcmin DEm Dec. 30 1X --- --- ':' 31-34 F4.1 arcsec DEs Dec. 35-36 2X --- --- Blank 37-43 A7 --- Sp Spectral type 44-48 F5.1 --- V V magnitude 49 1X --- --- Blank 50-82 A33 --- Comments Comments and other designations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ (End) Lee Brotzman [ADS] 09-Mar-1995
