Object name(s) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note (1): these fields are empty on lines containing additional matches for the current star. The constellation abbreviation in Flamsteed's version is the same as in Hevelius's. Note (2): a '*' here indicates that this catalog entry has no identification; a '?' indicates a possible but less secure identification; a '+' indicates that the identification is not given directly in the source catalog but has been inferred from catalog notes or non-standard designations, or corrected from an obvious error in the catalog. Note (3): a '*' here indicates that the indexless Bayer letter has been interpreted as this component. Note (4): component letter(s) from the Hipparcos catalog (or sometimes the SAO or Bright Star catalog). Note (5): magnitude from the Hipparcos catalog or the SAO catalog. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: dists_o.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 4 I4 --- HNo ?

Note (G2): status of this Hevelius object with respect to the other catalog, according to the identifications retained in ident_o.dat for Hevelius's catalog and either ident_o.dat or ident.dat for the other catalog: = indicates that the Hevelius and other catalog entries are identified as the same object or collection of objects, > indicates that the Hevelius catalog entry includes the other catalog's entry, and more (for instance if two components of a double star are distinguished in the other catalog but lumped into one entry in this one), x indicates that the Hevelius catalog entry has an identification, but no match in the other catalog, * indicates that the Hevelius catalog entry is unidentified. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- History: * 2022-04-16: initial release ================================================================================
