From: "Mati Morel" <morel@ozemail.com.au> Date: Sun, 21 Jul 2002 09:26:04 +1000 I have looked up CGCS 2792 and its companion in the monumental spectral survey of the southern milky way by Loden et al (Astron. Astrophys, Suppl. 23,283-392 (1976)). Both stars are listed, as follows: No. Position (1950) mB Spect. type ===================================== 1763 10:32.4 -62 26 12.0 B8-B9 1764 10:32.5 -62 26 15.0: S [Underexp.] 1763 = CPD-62 1643 1764 = CoD-62 466 = CGCS 2792 While the two DM stars have rather similar positions, an examination of the Loden finder charts (one blue, the other yellow light) shows that only one star is recorded, in each case. Their blue light chart shows 1763 clearly, but not 1764. In the yellow light chart the red star (1764) is totally dominant. The two photos give a good impression of how the compilers of the CPD saw the field (blue), compared to the CoD (yellow). Which raises the question: where do these other classifications (F0, G0 V) come from? Regards, Mati morel@ozemail.com.au
