VizieR Online Data Catalog: SPF1 Catalogue (Anguita+ 1975)
Abstract
The "First Santiago-Pulkovo Fundamental Stars Catalogue (SPF1)" contains right ascension observations of 1043 FK4 stars made during the period 1963 to 1968 with the Repsold Meridian Circle located at Cerro Calan Observatory in Chile. The FK4 stars were observed during series of observations of Southern Reference Stars (SRS) and Bright Stars (BS) international programs. Approximately 30 to 45 FK4 stars were measured during each 2- to 2-1/2-hour series, and included stars observed along the meridian between +41deg and -90deg in upper culmination and from -90deg to -68deg in lower culmination. The lower culmination observations are given in a separate table in the source reference; they are included in the file "lower". This work was made during the observations of the SRS and BS international programmes. These series of fundamental stars were periodically observed on the whole arc of meridian from +40 deg. to -68 sp deg. 211 series of observations were made with 6793 RA of stars observed. The reduction of observations was made by Zverev's quasi-absolute method (M.S.Zverev, Astr.J. USSR, 1965, v.42, p.823 and 1969, v.46, p.129.). The mean error of the positions of stars in the Catalogue is M.E. (Delta Alfa x cos Dec.) = +/- 0.008 timesec. (2 data files).
