- I/239 The Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues (ESA 1997)
-
- Description:
- The Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues are the primary products of the
- European Space Agency's astrometric mission, Hipparcos. The satellite,
- which operated for four years, returned high quality scientific data
- from November 1989 to March 1993.
-
- Each of the catalogues contains a large quantity of very high quality
- astrometric and photometric data. In addition there are associated
- annexes featuring variability and double/multiple star data, and solar
- system astrometric and photometric measurements. In the case of the
- Hipparcos Catalogue, the principal parts are provided in both printed
- and machine-readable form (on CDROM). In the case of the Tycho
- Catalogue, results are provided in machine-readable form only (on
- CDROM). Although in general only the final reduced and calibrated
- astrometric and photometric data are provided, some auxiliary files
- containing results from intermediate stages of the data processing, of
- relevance for the more-specialised user, have also been retained for
- publication. (Some, but not all, data files are available from the
- Centre de Donnees astronomiques de Strasbourg.)
-
- The global data analysis tasks, proceeding from nearly 1000 Gbit of
- raw satellite data to the final catalogues, was a lengthy and complex
- process, and was undertaken by the NDAC and FAST Consortia, together
- responsible for the production of the Hipparcos Catalogue, and the
- Tycho Consortium, responsible for the production of the Tycho
- Catalogue. A fourth scientific consortium, the INCA Consortium, was
- responsible for the construction of the Hipparcos observing programme,
- compiling the best-available data for the selected stars before launch
- into the Hipparcos Input Catalogue. The production of the Hipparcos
- and Tycho Catalogues marks the formal end of the involvement in the
- mission by the European Space Agency and the four scientific
- consortia.
-
- For more complete and detailed information on the data, the user is
- advised to refer to Volume 1 ("Introduction and Guide to the Data",
- ESA SP-1200) of the printed Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues. The user
- should also note that in order to convert the Double and Multiple
- Systems (Component solutions) data file hip_dm_c.dat into FITS format
- it is first necessary to filter the file according to whether the
- entry is a component record (identified by COMP in field DCM5) or a
- correlation record (identified by CORR in field DCM5) because of the
- different structures of the respective records. On a Unix system this
- can be achieved as follows:
-
- grep COMP hip_dm_c.dat > h_dm_com.dat
- grep CORR hip_dm_c.dat > h_dm_cor.dat
-
- The catalogue description file (this file) gives the relevant
- information for converting the main data files, including h_dm_cor.dat
- and h_dm_com.dat, into FITS format.
-
- The machine readable data files (i.e. those available on CD-ROM and
- the subset available from the CDS) contain several extra fields in
- addition to the data from the printed catalogue. These fields are
- identified by the letter `M' in the data label (e.g. the field DGM1
- contains data only available in the machine readable file
- hip_dm_g.dat).

- Note on T: this is the date when the photocentre is closest to the

- closest approach of the stellar components.
- Note on w: this is the angle in the orbital plane from the line of
- nodes to the major axis, measured from the nodal point (DO8) to
- the periastron in the direction of motion.
- Note on i: the inclination of the orbital plane to the tangent plane
- of the sky. Taken to be in the first quadrant if the apparent
- motion is direct (counter-clockwise) and in the second quadrant
- for retrograde (clockwise) apparent motion.
- Note on Omega: This is the position angle (measured counter-clockwise
- as seen on the sky from the +Dec direction) of the line of nodes,
- or the intersection of the orbital and tangent planes. If the
- radial motion of the components is known from spectroscopic studies,

- Note on Ep-2440000: the measurement epoch is specified in JD with respect
- to JD(TT)2440000.0 and is not corrected to the geocentre (i.e. the
- light-time delay between the satellite and the earth is also neglected.
- Note on Flag: if flag =1 then only one crossing of the field of view has
- been detected or retained. If Flag n>1, then n candidate observed
- transits have been detected or retained for that predicted
- observation. ST1, ST2, ST7, ST11, ST12 are identical in those cases.
- Note on sign_z: if the transit occurred in the upper branch of the
- inclined slits, the flag is +1, if the transit occurred in the
- lower branch of the inclined slits, the flag is -1.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Note on TYC: the designation of an object in the Tycho Catalogue uses the
- Guide Star Catalog numbering system (a region number (TYC1) and a number
- within the region (TYC2)) followed by a Tycho specific component number
- (TYC3).
- Note on r_Vmag: if non blank, the field has the following meaning:
- B : no VTmag available, therefore BTmag was adopted
- D : derived from approximate BTmag and VTmag (r_BTmag field T36 is 'D')
- T : derived from approximate VTmag (r_BTmag field T36 is 'T')
- V : no BTmag available, therefore VTmag was adopted in Vmag
- Note on RAdeg, DEdeg: right ascension and declination are
- expressed in degrees for epoch J1991.25 (JD2448349.0625 (TT)) in the
- ICRS (International Celestial Reference System, close to
- J2000) reference system.
- Note on AstroRef: 'X' indicates a dubious astrometric reference star
- in the context of the Tycho catalogue.
- Note on Plx, pmRA, pmDE, e_RAdeg, e_DEdeg, e_Plx, e_pmRA, e_pmDE:
- For these fields the second decimal digit is always blank
- Note on F2: values exceeding +2.5 to +3 indicate a bad fit to the data.
- Note on r_BTmag: the source flag has the following meaning:
- D : approximate BTmag, VTmag obtained for resolved double stars
- M : BTmag and VTmag are median values rather than de-censored means
- N : BTmag and VTmag are de-censored means
- T : BTmag is not given, and VTmag is an estimate; these magnitudes
- are systematically too bright by up to 1mag.
- A blank indicates an Hipparcos star not observed by Tycho (T42 = H).
- Note on Q: the astrometric quality flag is defined by the following table,
- where sigma(max) is the largest of the 5 astrometric standard errors:
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- Q sigma(max) Astrometric quality
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- 1 < 5 very high
- 2 5- 10 very high
- 3 10- 25 high
- 4 25- 50 high
- 5 50-150 medium
- 6 < 150 perhaps non-single
- 7 < 150 low
- 8 < 150 perhaps non-stellar
- 9 ~ 200 low, position derived from TICR
- ('R' in Source field T42)
- blank --- unassigned, 'H' in Source field T42
- (Hipparcos star not observed by Tycho)
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- Note on Source:
- H : Hipparcos star not observed by Tycho
- P : only the position was determined (no proper motion, no parallax)
- R : the position is derived from TICR catalog <I/197>
- Note on Var: this flag is set when the variability is known:
- G : variable known in General Catalog of Variable Stars <II/139>
- N : variable known in New Suspected Variables catalog <II/140>
- Note on VarFlag: this flag has the following meaning:
- U : apparent variability in the Tycho data; may be due to duplicity
- V : strong evidence of intrinsic variability
- W : suspected intrinsic variability
- Note on MultFlag: unresolved duplicity status from Tycho data analysis:
- D : duplicity clearly indicated (BTmag and VTmag refer to combined light)
- R : duplicity weakly indicated, combined with indication of variability
- S : duplicity suspected
- Y : investigation for duplicity carried out on Tycho data,
- no indication of duplicity was found
- Z : investigation for duplicity not carried out
- blank : Hipparcos star not observed by Tycho
- Note on PPM: from the 3 parts of the PPM catalogue
- North <I/146>, South <I/193>, and 90000Supplement <I/208>
- Note on Remark: if non-blank, the remark has the following meaning:
- J : disagreement with position of magnitude in GSC1.1 catalog <I/220>
- K : dubious Tycho parallax (Plx)
- L : dubious Tycho proper motion (disagrees with PPM catalogue)
- M : very uncertain Tycho magnitude (standard error larger than 0.3mag)
