The 314 stars brighter than apparent magnitude 3.55 in both hemispheres are listed with 1996.5 positions. Several spectr

Colour Index (B-V).

The blue magnitude, B, is the brightness of a star as observed photoelectrically through a blue filter. The difference B-V is
measure of the colour of a star. There is a close relation between B-V and the spectral type, but some of the stars are red
dust. The probable error of a value of B-V is about 0.02 mag at most.

Spectral Classification.
A ``temperature'' type (O,B,A,F,G,K,M) is given first, followed by a finer subtype (0-9) and a ``luminosity'' class (Roman nu
``a'' or ``b'' added occasionally to indicate slightly brighter or fainter). The sequences are in the sense that the O stars are
coolest, Ia stars are the most luminous supergiants, III stars are giants and V stars are the most numerous; the V's are kn
main-sequence stars. Other symbols used in the column are: ``p'' for peculiar; ``e'' for hydrogen emission; ``m'' for strong
broad, non-hydrogen emission in hot stars; and ``n'' or ``nn'' for unusually broad lines (= rotation). The table contains the b
