The HIPPARCOS and TYCHO Catalogues are
being published by the ESA Publications Division,
ESTEC,
on behalf of the FAST, NDAC, TDAC and INCA Consortia.
Principal Catalogues and Annexes
are being provided in both printed and machine-readable (CD-ROM) form.
Requests for these catalogues should be sent to ESA
(see Order Form
in the ESA Hipparcos
pages), as CDS is not
distributing the printed volumes or the sets of CD-ROMs.
CDS is providing on-line access to Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues,
as soon as they are released (this is done !),
through several services, as follows:
access to individual records through relational queries, with
VizieR;
call catalogue I/239 ;
access to the complete files for ftp transfer, with the
Astronomer's Bazaar;
call catalogue I/239 ;
mirror copies are available at
ADC (Goddard) and
NAO (Tokyo);
access to complementary data, cross-identifications, and bibliography
through SIMBAD;
use HIC, HIP, or TYC identification numbers;
more features are being prepared at CDS and will be announced as available.
