This README documents changes to the KStars datafile hip001.dat made by Milton Huang in 2005. The original file was created by Jason Harris in 2003 from Hipparcos and Tycho star catalogs. My changes primarily include additions and corrections of star names. None of the original numeric data is supposed to be changed. I have been conservative in changes in that if a name was previously present and matched any of my sources, I did not change it. I did not exhaustively review all names, but mostly added ones that were missing. I did not add a name unless I found it in two separate sources. My primary name source was Kunitzsch and Short's Short Guide to Modern Star Names Similarly, I used Kostjuk's HD-DM-GC-HR-HIP-Bayer-Flamsteed Cross Index to come up with some of the missing Bayer/Flamsteed Designations. This database is freely available at http://vizier.cfa.harvard.edu/viz-bin/Cat?IV/27 I did not search through the data to find errors in Bayer Designation or duplicates. This set of changes are current as of 5/26/2005. Added the following star names: [format is 'Proper Name': 'Bayer Designation' 'line number in file'] Atria: alp TrA 55 Sabik: eta Oph 99 Ascella: zet Sgr 114 Porrima: gam Vir 134 Propus: eta Gem 247

Ascellus Borealis to Ascellus Australis (del Cnc) Alkes to Alfecca meridiana for alp CrA (I assume confused with alp Crater=Crt) Added the following Bayer/Flamsteed designations: [format is 'RA' (tab)
