· Brief Description of Dataset (Click here to see more details.):
The Hipparcos Input Catalogue was constructed as the observing program for ESA's Hipparcos astrometry mission. This has resulted in a catalogue of stellar data including up-to-date information on positions, proper motions, magnitudes, colors, and when available, spectral types, radial velocities, multiplicity and variability information. The catalogue is complete to well-defined magnitude limits, and includes a substantial sampling of the most important stellar categories present in the solar neighbourhood beyond these limits. The magnitude limits vary from 7.3 to 9 magnitudes as a function of galactic latitude and spectral type, and there are no stars fainter than about V = 13 mag.(Description continues... click here to see entire text)· Quick Access to This Dataset:
