The Henry Draper Extension Charts: A catalogue of accurate positions, proper motions, magnitudes and spectral types of 86933 stars
The Henry Draper Extension Charts (HDEC), published in the form offinding charts, provide spectral classification for some 87000 starsmostly between 10th and 11th magnitude. This data, being highlyvaluable, as yet was practically unusable for modern computer-basedastronomy. An earlier pilot project (Roeser et al. 1991) demonstrated apossibility to convert this into a star catalogue, using measurements ofcartesian coordinates of stars on the charts and positions of theAstrographic Catalogue (AC) for subsequent identification. We presenthere a final HDEC catalogue comprising accurate positions, propermotions, magnitudes and spectral classes for 86933 stars of the HenryDraper Extension Charts.
| Interstellar extinction in the Taurus dark clouds. II
The results of photoelectric photometry of 89 stars in the Vilniusseven-color system in the area of the Taurus dark clouds withcoordinates (1950) 4h16m-4h33m, +16 deg-+20 deg are presented.Photometric spectral types, absolute magnitudes, color excesses,interstellar extinctions and distances of the stars are determined. Thedistance of the dark nebula is found to be 140 pc and is in goodagreement with the distance determined by Straizys and Meistas (1980)for the dark nebula Khavtassi 286, 278. The average extinction in theinvestigated area is of the order of 1.4.
