Scientific paper

The FK4 was an attempt to establish a fundamental system of stellar positions and proper motions for the 1950 equinox using as much position data as were available. Most of the stars are brighter than 7.0 mag. To increase the star density in some regions of the sky, positions and proper motions for additional stars were established on the same system. This catalog contains seven data files, six for different equinoxes (1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970, and 1975) and one for the supplemental stars. The 1950 and 1975 files contain the complete FK4 catalog (1535 stars); the others contain only 52 polar stars. In addition to a header record, the primary catalog contains for each star an identification number; the magnitude (maximum for a variable star); a variability flag, the minimum magnitude for a variable or the magnitude of the secondary for a double star; the HD spectral type and the type for the companion or a second type for a variable star; the position and the change and acceleration of the position; the proper motion and its change with time; the mean epoch of the observations for both right ascension and declination; the standard deviations of the position and proper motion; the numbers of the star in the Boss General Catalog, the N30 catalog, and in the Durchmusterungs; and the parallax. The supplement has a flag to indicate duplicity but no information about variability or the second component. It has no information about the temporal change of the position and proper motion and does not list the N30 and Durchmusterung numbers. It also omits the mean epoch for the observations.
