V/64). The catalogue is continuously updated, see http://sb9.astro.ulb.ac.be/ This version is dated 02-May-2011. Previous versions may be found in subdirectories "v00" (April 2005), "v01" (September 2005), etc...

Note (2): a non-zero value indicates that T0 does not correspond to the periastron epoch, but to some other phenomena (e.g. eclipse) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgements: This version was prepared with the help of Dimitri Pourbaix.
