Statistical Constraints for Astrometric Binaries with Nonlinear Motion
Useful constraints on the orbits and mass ratios of astrometric binariesin the Hipparcos catalog are derived from the measured proper motiondifferences of Hipparcos and Tycho-2 (Δμ), accelerations ofproper motions (μ˙), and second derivatives of proper motions(μ̈). It is shown how, in some cases, statistical bounds can beestimated for the masses of the secondary components. Two catalogs ofastrometric binaries are generated, one of binaries with significantproper motion differences and the other of binaries with significantaccelerations of their proper motions. Mathematical relations betweenthe astrometric observables Δμ, μ˙, and μ̈ andthe orbital elements are derived in the appendices. We find a remarkabledifference between the distribution of spectral types of stars withlarge accelerations but small proper motion differences and that ofstars with large proper motion differences but insignificantaccelerations. The spectral type distribution for the former sample ofbinaries is the same as the general distribution of all stars in theHipparcos catalog, whereas the latter sample is clearly dominated bysolar-type stars, with an obvious dearth of blue stars. We point outthat the latter set includes mostly binaries with long periods (longerthan about 6 yr).

Speckle Interferometry of New and Problem Hipparcos Binaries. II. Observations Obtained in 1998-1999 from McDonald Observatory
The Hipparcos satellite made measurements of over 9734 known doublestars, 3406 new double stars, and 11,687 unresolved but possible doublestars. The high angular resolution afforded by speckle interferometrymakes it an efficient means to confirm these systems from the ground,which were first discovered from space. Because of its coverage of adifferent region of angular separation-magnitude difference(ρ-Δm) space, speckle interferometry also holds promise toascertain the duplicity of the unresolved Hipparcos ``problem'' stars.Presented are observations of 116 new Hipparcos double stars and 469Hipparcos ``problem stars,'' as well as 238 measures of other doublestars and 246 other high-quality nondetections. Included in these areobservations of double stars listed in the Tycho-2 Catalogue andpossible grid stars for the Space Interferometry Mission.

Multiperiodicities from the Hipparcos epoch photometry and possible pulsation in early A-type stars
A selection criterion based on the relative strength of the largestpeaks in the amplitude spectra, and an information criterion are used incombination to search for multiperiodicities in Hipparcos epochphotometry. The method is applied to all stars which have beenclassified as variable in the Hipparcos catalogue: periodic, unsolvedand microvariables. Results are assessed critically: although there aremany problems arising from aliasing, there are also a number ofinteresting frequency combinations which deserve further investigation.One such result is the possible occurrence of multiple periods of theorder of a day in a few early A-type stars. The Hipparcos catalogue alsocontains a number of these stars with single periodicities: such starswith no obvious variability classifications are listed, and informationabout their properties (e.g., radial velocity variations) discussed.These stars may constitute a new class of pulsators.

The 74th Special Name-list of Variable Stars
We present the Name-list introducing GCVS names for 3153 variable starsdiscovered by the Hipparcos mission.

UBV beta Database for Case-Hamburg Northern and Southern Luminous Stars
A database of photoelectric UBV beta photometry for stars listed in theCase-Hamburg northern and southern Milky Way luminous stars surveys hasbeen compiled from the original research literature. Consisting of over16,000 observations of some 7300 stars from over 500 sources, thisdatabase constitutes the most complete compilation of such photometryavailable for intrinsically luminous stars around the Galactic plane.Over 5000 stars listed in the Case-Hamburg surveys still lackfundamental photometric data.

Colour excesses of F-G supergiants and Cepheids from Geneva photometry.
A reddening scale for F-G supergiants and Cepheids is presented.Supergiants with low reddenings or in clusters form the basis of thecalibration. In this sense, it is entirely empirical. The data have beenobtained in the Geneva photometric system. Comparisons with otherreddening scales show no disagreement. The only problem is with Fernie'sscale for Cepheids (1990), where a systematic trend exists. Its originis not clear. It is suggested to extend the number of supergiants withindependently obtained colour excesses in order to test the existence ofa possible luminosity dependence of the calibration. A period-colourrelation for Cepheids is deduced, on the basis of the present reddeningcorrections. It gives strong support for V473 Lyr being a secondovertone pulsator.

The Henry Draper Extension Charts: A catalogue of accurate positions, proper motions, magnitudes and spectral types of 86933 stars
The Henry Draper Extension Charts (HDEC), published in the form offinding charts, provide spectral classification for some 87000 starsmostly between 10th and 11th magnitude. This data, being highlyvaluable, as yet was practically unusable for modern computer-basedastronomy. An earlier pilot project (Roeser et al. 1991) demonstrated apossibility to convert this into a star catalogue, using measurements ofcartesian coordinates of stars on the charts and positions of theAstrographic Catalogue (AC) for subsequent identification. We presenthere a final HDEC catalogue comprising accurate positions, propermotions, magnitudes and spectral classes for 86933 stars of the HenryDraper Extension Charts.

Radio continuum emission from stars: a catalogue update.
An updated version of my catalogue of radio stars is presented. Somestatistics and availability are discussed.

The metallicity and luminosity of RV Tauri variables from medium-resolution spectra
Results are reported from spectroscopic observations of members of theRV Tauri class of pulsating variable stars at moderate resolution, andfrom photometric observations of these stars with the B and V filters ofthe Johnson UBV system and the first four filters of the Wingeight-color narrowband near-IR system. Of the 22 variables observed, TiOabsorption was detected in eight, and 10 variables displayedhydrogen-line emission at some phase. Spectral classifications wereassigned relative to the MK process. Color excesses were determined forthose variables for which spectroscopic and photometric data wereobtained within a few days of each other. The spectra obtained at aresolution of 2.5 A were fitted with synthetic spectra to determine thestellar atmospheric parameters. The range in metallicity among thevariables was found to be quite extensive, -0.3 to -0.7, and may reflecta mixture of stellar populations or masses.

The generation of infrared and ultraviolet astronomical data bases and retrieval systems
Observations with the Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS) and with theInternational Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) satellite have stimulated theneed for machine-readable data bases at infrared and ultravioletwavelengths along with associated software. This paper describes thegeneration of three such data sets at the Astronomical Data Center (ADC)of the NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC): the Catalog of InfraredObservations, the Combined List of Astronomical Sources, and theBibliographical Index of Objects Observed by IUE 1978-82. The discussionis divided by spectral regime and includes summaries of the dataproducts developed in each category.

H-alpha emission in F-K high luminosity stars
The presence and variability of H-alpha emission in very luminous F-Ksupergiants is investigated, and the lower limit of MV whereH-alpha begins to appear in emission is determined. Basic information onthe sample of eight stars is presented, including the spectral type,MV, H-alpha activity, and the shape of the H-alpha profile.The emission is variable in intensity and shape for all the stars. Thevery luminous supergiant HD 217476, which is both a radio star and abinary, shows particularly great variability.

Spectral classification of middle-type supergiants in the photographic infrared
A semiquantitative spectral classification scheme for middle-typesupergiant stars is presented which is wholly dependent on data in thenear infrared. The method involves the measurement of central depths asindicators of the strengths of the Paschen hydrogen lines 12 through 16,the Ca II infrared triplet and the 7774-A blend of O I, and was testedon slit spectrograms of previously classified stars of spectral types B8through G2. Results for the 142 stars considered are found to agree wellwith the MK spectral types determined previously, particularly inspectral types A5 through G0 and luminosity classes Ia through II.

A search for radio emission from late-type supergiant stars
Radio continuum observations at 10.5 GHz have been made of 29high-luminosity F0-K5 supergiant stars. Two sources were detected (atthe 3-sigma confidence level) in this survey. One corresponds to theunusual spectrum-variable star HR 8752=HD 217476 (G0 Ia). The other islocated approximately one arc minute southwest of the star HD 18391 (G0Ia), with a positional error box containing no obvious opticalcandidate(s).

Infrared photometry of high-luminosity supergiants earlier than M and the interstellar extinction law
Photometric measurements from 2.3 to 23 microns are reported for someluminous F, G, and K supergiants. The infrared excesses observed do notappear to be representative of the class. At about 4.9 microns, andabsorption feature with a depth of 0.4 mag appears abruptly in thesupergiants near spectral type G5. This feature is possibly due toabsorption by the fundamental vibration band of either CO or CN. Thecolor-excess method yields a reddening curve which gives a value for theratio of total to selective extinction of about 3.40.
