Description:
This catalogue supersedes the previous version (VI/92).
The last update is 01 July 2005.
This project originated in the summer of 1991 when the author began
compiling a cross-reference catalog and tabulation of published
UBVbeta photometry for stars listed in Stephenson and Sanduleak's
Luminous Stars in the Southern Milky Way (Cat. III/43). This database
was published in July 1993 (1993ApJS...87..367R) and was subsequently
expanded to include compilations of published MK classifications
(1995ApJS...97..189R), 4-color photometry (1996A&AS..117..313R), and
radial velocities (1997AJ....113..823R) for these objects. In mid-1997
the project was again expanded to include UBVbeta photometry for
stars listed in the northern-hemisphere volumes of the "Case-Hamburg"
(Cat. III/76) surveys (Cat. J/ApJS/115/271); MK classifications for
the northern stars were similarly compiled and made electronically
available to interested parties, though were not formally published.
Work on the radial velocity and four-color compilations has since been
discontinued, but interested readers may still obtain those (for the
LS-South stars) from the author.
Most of the LS objects are OB stars, but there are as well a number of
A, F, and G supergiants and a few white dwarfs and Wolf Rayet stars.
These surveys reached a limiting photographic magnitude of 13.5,
and were based on objective-prism surveys of dispersion 580AA/mm
at Hgamma

Abstract of the paper:
The birthrate of stars of masses >=10M_sun_ is estimated from a
sample of just over 400 O3-B2 dwarfs within 1.5kpc of the Sun and
the result extrapolated to estimate the Galactic supernova rate
contributed by such stars. The solar-neighborhood Galactic-plane
massive star birthrate is estimated at 176stars/kpc^3^/Myr. On the
basis of a model in which the Galactic stellar density distribution
comprises a "disk+central hole" like that of the dust infrared
emission (as proposed by Drimmel and Spergel), the Galactic supernova
rate is estimated at probably not less than 1 nor more than 2 per
century and the number of O3-B2 dwarfs within the solar circle at
200000.
