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): component letter(s) from the Hipparcos catalog (or sometimes the SAO or Bright Star catalog). Note (4): magnitude from the Hipparcos catalog or the SAO catalog. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: dists_o.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11- 14 I4 --- KNo ?Record number in Tabulae Rudolphinae 16- 18 A3 --- TCon Constellation abbreviation 20- 21 I2 --- TNum ?Number in constellation 23- 29 F7.2 arcmin dLO ?Difference in longitude.cos(LA) (1) 31- 37 F7.2 arcmin dLA ?Difference in latitude (1) 39- 44 F6.2 arcmin dist ?Distance between match and Tycho (1) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note (1): difference (HIP - Kepler), or (SAO - Kepler) if there is no HIP match, based on the positions in kepler_2.dat or kepler_3.dat and identifications in ident_o.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: keppto_oo.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11- 14 I4 --- KNo ?Record number in Tabulae Rudolphinae (G1) 16- 18 A3 --- TCon ?Constellation abbreviation (G1) 20- 21 I2 --- TNum ?Number in constellation (G1) 23 A1 --- Status [=x*] status (G2) 25- 28 I4 --- PNo [1/1028]?

Note (G2): status of this Kepler object with respect to the other catalog, according to the identifications retained in the file ident_o.dat for Kepler's catalog and either ident_o.dat or ident.dat for the other catalog: = indicates that the Kepler and other catalog entries are identified as the same object or collection of objects, > indicates that the Kepler 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 Kepler's catalog), x indicates that the Kepler catalog entry has an identification, but no match in the other catalog, * indicates that the Kepler catalog entry is unidentified. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- History: * 2022-04-12: new revised edition ================================================================================
