Provenance
This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2005 based on the merger of 3 CDS tables (table1.dat, table2.dat and atble3.dat) from the CDS Catalog J/A+AS/139/555/ .Parameters
Sequence_Number
This is a sequential number which uniquely identifies
each entry in the catalog in order of increasing J2000.0 Right Ascension.
The Dictionary of Nomenclature of Celestial Objects recommends that an
alternative name for objects from this catalog can be constructed using
the prefix '[GKL99] ' and this sequence number, e.g., '[GKL99] 1'.
Position_Flag
This is a flag parameter which indicates the origin of
the quoted position for the flare star. The J2000.0 coordinates were taken
from two sources: data for more than half of the stars in the catalog (those
with position_flag = ' ') were prepared by Dr. N.N. Samus and E.N. Pastukhova
as a part of their work to form a modern astrometric basis for the General
Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS). They used the HIPPARCOS Catalog (ESA,
1997, Cat. <I/239>), the PPM Catalog (Roeser & Bastian, 1991 (Cat. <I/146>),
1993 (Cat. <I/193>), the Space Telescope Guide Star Catalog (Lasker et al.,
1990, Cat. <I/220>), the US Naval Observatory A1.0 Catalog (Monet, 1996,
<I/243>), and accurate coordinates from publications and original measurements
from Digitized Sky Survey images with GSC stars as their reference. The
data for the rest of the (those with position_flag = 'H') were determined
by Hawley et al. (1996, Cat. <III/198>) from the Space Telescope Digitized
Sky Survey.
As the HEASARC was creating this table, it was discovered that 8 of the stars (sequence_numbers 5, 72, 258, 262, 276, 320, 392 and 416) did not have J2000.0 coordinates in their CDS tables, but only B1950.0 coordinates. The HEASARC precessed the latter for these 8 stars so as to create J2000.0 coordinates.
RA
The Right Ascension of the flare star in the selected equinox.
This was given in J2000.0 coordinates and to a precision of 0.1 seconds of
time in the original catalog, with 8 exceptions (sequence_numbers 5, 72, 258,
262, 276, 320, 392 and 416) for which only B1950.0 coordinates were given.
In the case of stars with known proper motions, the coordinates
correspond to epoch 2000.0, while for the other stars the coordinates
correspond to the date specified by the epoch parameter, if available.
Dec
The Declination of the flare star in the selected equinox.
This was given in J2000.0 coordinates and to a precision of 1 arcsecond
in the original catalog, with 8 exceptions (sequence_numbers 5, 72, 258,
262, 276, 320, 392 and 416) for which only B1950.0 coordinates were given.
In the case of stars with known proper motions, the coordinates
correspond to epoch 2000.0, while for the other stars the coordinates
correspond to the date specified by the epoch parameter, if available.
LII

BII

Jahreiss (1991, Preliminary Version of the 3rd Catalog of Nearby Stars).
PM_Dec
The proper motion of the flare star in Declination, in arcseconds
per year (arcsec/yr). Proper motions for these stars are from Gliese and
Jahreiss (1991, Preliminary Version of the 3rd Catalog of Nearby Stars).

different, older sources.
Distance_Ref
This parameter contains a code for the reference for the
distance, where 'H' means that the distance is derived from a
spectroscopic parallax in Hawley et al. (1996, CDS Cat. <III/198>), 'O' that
the distance is from one of several different parallax sources, and ' ' that
the distance is derived from a trigonometric parallax in the Hipparcos Catalog
(CDS Cat. <I/239>) or Gliese & Jahreiss (1991, CDS Cat. <V/70>).
Distance
The distance to the flare star, in parsecs (pc).
Halpha_Ew_Ref
This parameter contains a code for the reference for the
H-alpha emission equivalent width, where a value of ' ' means that it comes
from Hawley et al. (1996, CDS Cat. <III/198>), and a value of 'H' means that
it comes from spectral data of Stauffer & Hartmann (1986ApJS...61..531S) or
from photometric measurements by Herbst & Miller (1989AJ.....97..891H).
Halpha_EW
The H-alpha emission line equivalent width, in Angstroms,
approximated to 0.1 Angstroms.
BV_Color
The B-V color index of the flare star. Some stars have multicolor
photometric data, adopted from Pettersen (1976OslR...46....1P) or from Doyle

from SIMBAD. The authors follow photometric systems in accordance with Bessel
(1990A&AS...83..357B) and Leggett (1992ApJS...82..351L). Photometric
observations of close binaries give the total brightnesses and/or colors of

flag parameter. Several of these systems were resolved by HIPPARCOS. Thus,
the photometric data in this table are not strictly homogeneous, and should
be considered to be approximate values only.

that the quoted value is the total B-V color index of the close binary system
to which the flare star belongs.

deep/long exposures compared to the all-sky survey observations.

PhD thesis).
Flux_Radio_Flag
This flag is set to 'J' to indicate that the quoted
radio flux density is of the close binary system to which the flare star
belongs rather than that of the flare star by itself.

An third value of the flare star's radio flux density,
in mJy, taken from Gibson (1985 in Radio Stars, p. 213), Drake and Caillault
(1991, AJ, BAAS, 23, 942), Gudel (1992, A&A, 64, 31), Gudel et al. (1993,
