looking for good but simple near-space catalog

looking for good but simple near-space catalog


Nothing fancy - bare minimum would be:

Star Name
Spectral Class
Stellar Mass (would be nice)
R.A.
Dec
Distance from Sol


That's it.

A text file, comma separated value file, database or spreadsheet would be
great.
The simplier the better.

If it could go out to 200 to 300 light years, it would be great.

I'd buy a CD, pay-pal or Visa or whatever.

Stars, binaries, dwarfs, etc....

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you tried looking for the Hipparcos catalogue?

You'll win more friends if you cross post (if you really think you need
to) rather than multiple post to _every_ astronomy group.

I assume you mean to reprimand the the OP and not me!

Absolutely, and my apologies to you. I meant to put that reply on the
other post (multiple posting as well as cross posting, yet!)

That's definitely one to bookmark.
http://astro.estec.esa.nl/Hipparcos/table361.html is a list of the 150
closest stars. It occurs to me that a catalogue going to 300 light years
is going to include most of the Hipparcos catalogue and be a _lot_ of
stars.

Language question for the purists - there's a list of stars with the
"highest apparent magnitude", but don't they mean the lowest apparent
magnitude? :-) These are the brightest stars.
