I/131A SAO Star Catalog J2000 (SAO Staff 1966; USNO, ADC 1990)

Description:
This machine-readable SAO catalog from the Astronomical Data Center is
based on an original binary version of the Smithsonian Astrophysical
Observatory Star Catalog (SAO, SAO Staff 1966). Subsequent
improvements by T. A. Nagy (1979) included the addition of equatorial
coordinates in radians and cross-identifications from the Table of
Correspondences SAO/HD/DM/GC (Morin 1973). As a prelude to creation of
the 1984 version of the SAO, a new version of the SAO-HD-GC-DM Cross
Index was prepared (Roman, Warren, and Schofield 1983). The 1984
version of the SAO contained the corrected and extended cross
identifications, all errata published up to January 1984 and known to
the ADC, numerous errors forwarded to the ADC by colleagues, and
errors discovered at the ADC during the course of this work. Clayton
A. Smith of the U. S. Naval Observatory provided J2000.0 positions and
proper motions for the SAO stars. Published and unpublished errors
discovered in the previous version (1984) have been corrected (up to
May 1991). The catalog contains SAO number; the right ascension and
declination with a B1950.0 equinox and epoch; annual proper motion and
its standard deviation, photographic and visual magnitudes; spectral
type; references to sources; the Durchmusterung (DM) identifier if the
star is listed in the Bonner DM (BD), Cordoba DM (CD), or Cape
Photographic DM (CP); component identification; The Henry Draper
(Extension) (HD or HDE) number; and J2000 positions and proper
motions. Multiple-star component identifications have been added to
stars where more than one SAO entry has the same DM number. The Henry
Draper Extension (HDE) numbers have been added for stars found in both
volumes of the extension. Data for duplicate SAO entries (those
referring to the same star) have been flagged. J2000 positions in
usual units and in radians have been added.

A more recent catalogue with better position and proper motion data,
the so-called "PPM Catalogue" (Positions and Proper Motions)
has been prepared at ARI (Astronomisches Rechen-Institut at Heidelberg,
Germany); is is made of two parts:
I/146 : PPM North Star Catalogue, 181731 stars;
I/193 : PPM South Star Catalogue, 197179 stars.
