Francois Ochsenbein has been kind enough to make available through the
Strasbourg VizieR utility a large file of stellar spectral classifications
that I have been compiling for some time. This includes a compendium of the
work I have done identifying stars appearing in objective-prism surveys from
several observatories as well as shorter lists and very recent literature.
I intend to update the file on the timescale of months (another ~5000 stars
are ready for the next iteration) to include both current literature and
gradually extending the dataset back a decade or so if possible. The file
includes accurate coordinates for the stars, and shows a citation for each
entry. The omission of the latter was a serious problem with the catalogues
published by Bill Buscombe, who died earlier this year.
The VizieR query utility allows searches by coordinates and other criteria
(including the standard 19-digit bibcode, so you can get lists from specific
papers), and a gzipped copy of the complete file is available from links there.
The current file is also copied to the Lowell ftp area as shown below.
