Abstract:
    We present a bibliographic catalogue of stellar radial velocities with
    13359 entries for stars in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds,
    obtained from the issues of several journals published in the period
    1991-1994. We have tried to follow the structure of previous
    compilations although we have relied on data retrieved from the SIMBAD
    database.

Note (1): We have preferred for identification the  HD, CD or CPD numbers,
    in that order. Stars in clusters are indicated with the cluster's name
    and the number of the stars according to the primary identification
    paper for that particular cluster, found either at SIMBAD or
    Mermilliod's database (which was accessed through the web of the
    Geneva Observatory).

Note (2): Right ascension is given to the tenth of a minute and has been
    retrieved from SIMBAD. Declination is given to the minute and has been
    retrieved from SIMBAD.

Note (3): Spectra have been retrieved from the SIMBAD database.
    In some cases, when the number of symbols is large, the spectral type
    has been truncated.

Note (4): For each object we have included the average radial velocity
    provided by the author. If the number of radial velocity measurements
    is more than 1, and an average has not been calculated by the author,
    we have not included any radial velocity at all. If the star is a
    spectroscopic binary, for which an orbit has been computed, then the
    systemic radial velocity is quoted in this column.

Note (5): We have included in this column an acronym to indicate
    the nature of the star, when  mentioned by the author.
    Acronyms are as follows:
     CEPH: Cepheids
      ORB: An orbit has been computed. The systemic radial velocity is listed
      SB1: Single lined binary
      SB2: Double lined binary
       EM: Emission lines. The radial velocity is derived from emission lines
       SB: Spectroscopic binary
       CV: Cataclysmic variable
      VAR: Star with variable radial velocity, according to the author
      LMC: Star belonging to the Large Magellanic Cloud
     STND: Radial velocity standard
    CONST: Star with constant radial velocity, according to the author
     SYMB: Symbiotic star
      BMP: Blue metal poor star
       VB: Visual binary

Note (6): We have included in this column one of the above parameters.
    It is not possible to confuse the resolving power with any of the
    other two parameters because, in general, resolving power is a
    relatively large number compared with dispersion or resolution.
    As in the case of the dispersion or resolution, an ambiguity may
    arise, we have added an R to the number when it refers to the
    resolution.
    COR: radial velocity was derived through cross correlation techniques
          (like Coravel, for example)
    REL: relative velocity
    SEV: more than one resolving power or resolution have been used
     OP: objective prism observations
    IUE: radial velocities were derived from observations obtained with
          the International Ultraviolet Explorer (See cat. <VI/99>)
