Scientific paper

The original version of this catalog, GSC 1.0, is described in a series of papers: Lasker et al. (1990); Russell et al. (1990); and Jenkner et al. (1990); hereafter referred to as Papers I, II, and III. Additions and corrections made in GSC 1.1 address: incompleteness, misnomers, artifacts, and other errors due to the overexposure of the brighter stars on the Schmidt plates, the identification of blends likely to have been incorrectly resolved, the incorporation of errata reported by the user-community or identified by the analysis of HST operational problems. Among the primary authors of the GSC 1.0 and the associated systems, the scientific responsibilities were divided as follows: Helmut Jenkner, system coordination and overall design; Barry M. Lasker, astrophysics and photometry; Brian J. McLean, algorithmic analysis and systems development; Jane L. Russell, astrometry; Michael M. Shara, system management; and Conrad R. Sturch , production management and quality control. GSC 1.1 analysis and production were performed primarily by Jesse B. Doggett, Daniel Egret, Brian J. McLean, and Conrad R. Sturch. Helmut Jenkner is on assignment from the European Space Agency; Jane L. Russell is currently affiliated with the Applied Research Corporation, Landover, MD; and Conrad R. Sturch is with the Astronomy Programs, Computer Sciences Corporation at Space Telescope Science Institute. Daniel Egret is affiliated with Observatoire de Strasbourg, France. (3 data files).
