Beginning of ReadMe :I/107A Washington Double Star Catalog (WDS) (Worley+ 1984)

The Washington Double Star Catalog

ADC_Keywords: Stars, double and multiple ; Positional data
Description:
The Washington Visual Double Star Catalog, 1984.0 (WDS) is the
successor to the Index Catalogue of Visual Double Stars, 1961.0
(Jeffers et al., 1963), which is usually denoted as the IDS.
The WDS is intended to contain all known visual double stars for which
at least one differential measure has been published through the end
of 1983. The reader is reminded that the WDS is therefore not
inclusive of all pairs which have been more casually noted, although
it does, in fact, include some of them. Approximately 384000
individual means, representing over a million individual observations,
form the basic material from which the WDS is constructed. Not
included are a small amount of data because of unresolved questions
concerning it. The WDS contains 73610 double stars, counting, as did
the IDS, multiple components in the same system as separate pairs.
