A List of Late-Type Stars in the Galactic Antirotation Direction
Low-resolution objective-prism spectra (1360 Å mm^-1 at Hγ) of184 late-type stars in the Galactic antirotation direction have beenobtained with the Curtis Schmidt telescope at Cerro TololoInter-American Observatory. The stars have been classified into threegroups: F6-G2, G3-K0, and K1-M8. Subsequent observations on the BV andDDO systems have been obtained. The correlation between the thin-prismclasses and the DDO classes is as expected, with no significantsystematic differences of note. A comparison of Guide Star Catalogmagnitudes, corrected to V, is also made, with favorable results. Thestars in this list are expected to be useful for studying the structureand star formation history of the Milky Way.
