Smith W.B.
<Unpublished (1996)>
ADC_Keywords: Positional data ; Cross identifications
Description:
The author has combined data from various catalogs to produce a
cross index of the numbers in the FK5 (I/149, I/175), SAO (I/131),
and HD (III/135) catalogs. He has also added the Bayer or Flamsteed
designations and the common or variable star names.
