| The popular name for a 1940 catalogue of 3,539 of the brighter stars within 8° of the ecliptic. It was compiled by James Robertson and published as Volume X, Part II, of Astronomical Papers prepared for the use of the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac. It includes all stars brighter than magnitude 7.0 and 313 fainter than magnitude 8.5. The catalogue is used particularly for star positions in the prediction and analysis of occultations. |
