 Star catalogue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Catalogue astrographique (Astrographic Catalogue) was part of the international Carte du Ciel programme designed to photograph and measure the positions of all stars brighter than magnitude 11.0.
An example of a star which is often referred to by one of these unofficial GJ numbers is GJ 3021.
USNO-B1.0 is an all-sky catalog created by researchers at the U.S. Naval Observatory that presents positions, proper motions, magnitudes in various optical passbands, and star/galaxy estimators for 1,042,618,261 objects derived from 3,643,201,733 separate observations.

We should note that our project was not the first attempt to improve astrometric data of the HD family.
The crucial point of any project of this type is the source of astrometric data being used.
Among more recent projects one should mention cross-identifications produced by Nancy Roman (Astronomic Data Centre of NSSDC/GSCF); she had also greatly simplified all the forthcoming projects in the field by producing machine-readable version of the HD (main catalogue and first extension).

 Paper Abstract
These spectra, along with their two-dimensional MK classifications listed in the Michigan Henry Draper Catalogue, were used to develop supervised neural network classifiers.
We show that neural networks can give accurate spectral type classifications (sigma_68 = 0.82 subtypes, sigma_rms = 1.09 subtypes) across the full range of spectral types present in the data set (B2--M7).
The data set for this project consists of a set of over 5000 optical (3800--5200 AA) spectra obtained from objective prism plates from the Michigan Spectral Survey.

Meanwhile, another catalogue had been issued at Harvard: the Revised Harvard Photometry, 1908, purpose of which was to give precise magnitudes for the brilliantest 9110 stars, down to magnitude 6.5.
Its main purpose is to list precise distances of 100,000 stars.

 The Harvard Observatory Program to Classify Stellar Spectra
Nevertheless, Fleming developed a relatively simple classification scheme, with 22 different classes, and in 1890 published the classifications for 10,000 stars as the Draper Catalogue of Stellar Spectra.
Fleming was soon promoted to work directly with the spectral classification project, although she was paid half of what the men were paid.
Because it was the goal of this project to classify a sufficient number of stars so that it would be years before anyone felt the need to repeat such an undertaking, it was Pickering's goal to classify at least 100,000 stars for the Henry Draper (HD) Catalogue.

The work was published in the Henry Draper Catalogue (HD) and Henry Draper Extension (HDE) which contained spectra of 225,000 stars down to ninth magnitude.
The scheme is based on lines which are mainly sensitive to stellar surface temperatures rather than actual compositional differences, gravity, or luminosity.

 Stellar Classification
The modern system of classification originated from a series of projects begun around 1886, at the Harvard College Observatory, directed by Edward Pickering.
Stars were categorised into a number of classes, distinguished by the strength of the spectral lines of different elements, beginning with hydrogen, and were originally assigned letters which ran in order.
The work was funded from the estate of the American astronomer Henry Draper, and performed by a corps of women (and the commonly held belief is that women were chosen because they would work for less pay than men).

The Henry Draper (HD) Catalogue, named for the first photographer of stellar spectra, is a nine volume publication (released from 1918 through 1924) that contains the positions, though not accurate, and stellar spectra for most stars down to about 8th magnitude.
The star, which revealed a peculiar spectrum combining two distinct types of spectra, could not be classified with any of the known types of the time.
Like many variable stars, CI Cygni was discovered in the early 1900s, in an era of a virtual variable star awakening when the differing classes of such stars were yet to be established.
