Description of Dataset:
This catalog contains two files corresponding to the two references. The descriptions from R.M. Humphreys are: A catalog of luminous stars that are probable members of known associations and clusters. It includes the star id., spectral type and luminosity class, position in galactic longitude and latitude, mag and color, the corres- ponding absolute visual mag and bolometric mag assuming the distance of the association or cluster. A catalog of luminous and early-type stars that are not considered to be members of any known association or cluster. It includes the star id., spectral type and luminosity class, position in galactic longitude and latitude, magnitude and color, the corresponding absolute visual magnitude and bolometric mag for its published spectral type and luminosity class. Its photometric parallax (distance) from the Sun is derived from its adopted Mv with the extinction correction from its color excess. The distance from the galactic center assuming Ro = 10 kpc is also given.| Field | Label | Units | Format | Definition |

(b) Otherwise unlabeled numbers are HD or HDE numbers. An "A", "B", "C", or "D" after the ID indicates a component of a multiple system. Two such letters (e.g. "AB") indicate the data are for unresolved components. | |
(c) Includes full classifications, such as "III((N))" and indications of peculiarities, such as weak lines. | |
(e) A value of "0.00" in either B-V or U_B originally meant either that no color was listed or that the true color was 0. Regrettably, the two cases were indistinguishable. This situation has been fixed for U-B; however, all true zero values may not have been identified. Non-zero colors in both fields are reliable. | |
(f) Absolute V magnitude using observed V, extinction and adopted distance of the association. | |
(g) Identifies which cluster the star is in. The code should be a number from 2 to 79, with the possibility of a letter in byte 121. | |
(h) Unchanged from Buscombe, this is usually a cluster membership note, alternate ID (especially when the primary ID is a CP or CPD number), or multiplicity reminder. As with primary IDs, otherwise unlabeled numbers are HD or HDE numbers. |
