Abstract:

The catalogue provides for each of the 134 W-R stars of Population I presently known in the Large Magellanic Cloud, accurate equatorial coordinates, photometric data, spectral classification, binary status, correlation with OB associations and HII regions. The miscellaneous designations of the stars are also listed. Although completeness is not pretended, results published during the last decade are highlighted in the notes given for each individual star. A uniform set of finding charts is presented.

Key words: Catalogs -- galaxies: Magellanic Clouds -- galaxies: stellar content -- stars: Wolf-Rayet
