III/9A F2-G5 Stars in a North Galactic Pole Region (Upgren 1963) ================================================================================ F2-G5 Stars in a North Galactic Pole Region Upgren A.R. =1963AJ.....68..194U ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Galactic pole, north; Regional catalog; Spectral types Description: The catalog is an objective-prism survey for stars of spectral classes F2 to G5 in a region of high galactic latitude. The catalog contains 1127 stars and is complete to a limiting photographic magnitude of 12.5. The photographic plates used permit a separation of the stars into narrow and well-defined spectral classes. The spectral classification of the stars in the catalog is based on the Yerkes MK system. The catalog is subdivided into one-degree declination zones as are the DM catalogs. The degree zones are based on 1855 coordinates. The catalog includes sequence numbers of the stars, BD and HD numbers, positions (B1950), B magnitudes, spectral types, and remarks.

This star is observed on two deep plates, 4765 and 5471, taken over one year apart, to be of spectral classes F2 and A5, respectively, and magnitudes 12.6 and 12.1, respectively, and is not included in the list by Slettebak and Stock (1959). The A5 spectral image appears similar to one of RR Lyrae of the same dispersion (Nassau and Stephenson 1960). It is likely that this star is a previously undiscovered RR Lyrae type variable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: position.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 2 A2 --- --- [UI] 4- 6 I3 --- UI.Z UI number (Zone, +27 to +42) 8- 10 I3 --- UI.N [1/132] UI number in zone 15- 16 I2 h RAh Right Ascension J2000 (hours) 18- 19 I2 min RAm Right Ascension J2000 (minutes) 21- 25 F5.2 s RAs Right Ascension J2000 (seconds) 27 A1 --- DE- Declination J2000 (sign) 28- 29 I2 deg DEd Declination J2000 (degrees) 31- 32 I2 arcmin DEm Declination J2000 (minutes) 34- 37 F4.1 arcsec DEs Declination J2000 (seconds) 39 A1 --- r [TU] Origin of position: T=Tycho-2 (I/259), U=UCAC2 (I/289) or URAT1 (I/329) 42- 50 A9 --- BD Bonner Durchmusterung designation (I/122) 52- 55 F4.1 mag Vmag Visual magnitude 58- 62 A5 --- SpT Spectral type, from B.

Upgren on punched cards (see 1971BICDS...1...23.) * 1988 June, Wayne H. Warren: Data format modified at the Astronomical Data Center (ADC)/NASA GSFC, * 2015-Dec, B. Skiff [Lowell Obs.]: file "position.dat" contains the accurate position, from an inspection of the finding charts. The star UI +32 31, missing in the previous version, was added.
