Stars: Double And Multiple, Positional Data
Scientific paper
The Washington Visual Double Star Catalog, 1984.0 (WDS) is the successor to the Index Catalogue of Visual Double Stars, 1961.0 (Jeffers et al., 1963), which is usually denoted as the IDS. The WDS is intended to contain all known visual double stars for which at least one differential measure has been published through the end of 1983. The reader is reminded that the WDS is therefore not inclusive of all pairs which have been more casually noted, although it does, in fact, include some of them. Approximately 384000 individual means, representing over a million individual observations, form the basic material from which the WDS is constructed. Not included are a small amount of data because of unresolved questions concerning it. The WDS contains 73610 double stars, counting, as did the IDS, multiple components in the same system as separate pairs. (2 data files).
