Beginning of ReadMe : I/152 Lick Jupiter-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue (Klemola+ 1978) ================================================================================ Lick Jupiter-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue Klemola A.R., Morabito L., and Taraji H. <Lick Obs., U. California, Santa Cruz. (1978)> ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Positional data ; Zodiacal regions Description: The catalog was prepared for purposes of determining up-to-date, reasonably accurate equatorial coordinates for reference stars in a band of sky against which cameras of the Voyager spacecraft were aligned for observations of Jovian satellites during the Jupiter flyby. The catalog contains accurate equatorial coordinates for equinox 1950.0, epoch 1978.27, photographic and visual magnitudes, AGK3 identifications and proper motions for 4983 stars. All of the reference stars are in the range 6h00m to 8h04m in right ascension (1950), declination zones +16 to +23 degrees, and 8h31m to 8h57m, zones +08 to +14 degrees. Mean errors of the positions are about 0.4 second of arc. Introduction The Lick Jupiter-Voyager Reference Star Catalogue. Klemola et al. (1978) was prepared for purposes of determining up-to-date, reasonably accurate, equatorial coordinates for reference stars in a band of sky against which cameras of the Voyager spacecraft were aligned for observations of Jovian satellites during the Jupiter flyby. The requirements were a surface density of three to four reference stars per observation frame of 24 sq. arcmin. of the cameras - somewhat greater than that provided by the AGK3 catalog (Dieckvoss et al. 1975) - and a positional accuracy approximately 0.5. Visual magnitudes were also required. The completed catalog contains 4983 stars in the right ascension ranges 6h00m to 8h04m, declination zones +16 deg. to +23 deg., and 8h31m to 8h57m, declination zones +08 deg. to +14 deg.. Mean errors of the positions, as derived from least squares solutions against the AGK3 reference stars, are about 0.4"; however, individual residuals are fairly numerous in the range 0.6" to 0.8" with some in the range 1.0" to 1.3" The accidental error of one measurement, as deduced from a tabular histogram given in the original catalog publication (referenced below), is about 0.11". Apparent photographic and visual magnitudes were derived from iris photometer measurements, m(v). being approximated from a derived color-index relation using the AGK3 reference stars. The resulting magnitudes appear to have mean errors of at least 0.2 mag while very blue and very red stars (C.I..le.0 mag, and C.I..ge.1.5, respectively) are less certain. The magnitudes are considered to be only approximate (residuals of approximately 0.5 mag are fairly common). For additional information concerning the observations and reductions, the original publication (available from A. R. Klemola) should be consulted. A copy of this document should be transmitted to any recipient of the machine-readable catalog.
