[vsnet-id 45] Chavira infrared stars



     After a fair bit of work I have obtained accurate positions for all but
two of the "infrared stars" listed by Chavira in a 1967 paper based on far-red
direct and objective-prism plates.  The main difficulty in the identifications
was the poor published positions, some in error by 10' or more.  The finder
charts were thus indispensable for positive identification on the sky.
     Chavira gives Johnson I-band magnitudes and spectral types for most of the
stars.  Along with coordinates, I have added here IRAS identifications as well
as USNO-A2.0 magnitudes and colors (if available) to provide some idea of their
brightness in the visible.  Note that the red magnitudes for these stars are
typically between mag. 13 and 15---not extraordinarily faint.  A few of the
stars are known variables, but all certainly are to some degree.
     The first seven "Haro-Chavira" stars were published by Johnson et al. in
a 1965 ApJ paper (HC 5 is missing from the list), which includes BVRIJHKLMN (!)
photometry.  The positions listed for these stars are consistently nearly a
full degree in error!  This seems to be due to application of 100 years of
precession in the wrong direction.  I'm guessing that the BD (equinox 1855)
was used to estimate the positions, then precessed to 1950 for publication;
the error resulted in positions that seem to be about right for 1750 instead.
It was only by chance that I noticed a star pattern from one of the finder
charts on the POSS-I prints, which allowed me to find the others using the
same offset.
