Introduction to the Dahlgren General Catalog.

Abstract

This report contains a description of the procedures used in constructing the Dahlgren General Catalog (Publication pending). Extensive lists of discrepancies found in the following five sources are presented in the appendices: The Bright Star Catalogue, The Boss General Catalogue, The Mermilliod Photoelectric Catalogue, The USNO UBV Catalog (Ochsenbein Update), and The SAO Catalog. The final version of the catalog contains 19,045 stars of apparent visual magnitude 7.2 or brighter. The machine readable magnetic tape version of the catalog is divided into two parts: the positional catalog and the magnitude/color catalog.
