The catalog contains a main table, namely Table 5, where stars appear in order of increasing HD number, except for those stars presenting only a BD number in the literature. The latter appear in order of increasing right-ascension according to the 1950 epoch. Table 5 also presents the CORAVEL rotational velocity measurements as well as the mean radial velocity for single stars and for the single-lined spectroscopic binaries. The columns mean:
The remark SBO indicates those single-lined spectroscopic binaries for which the orbital parameters are available in the literature.
The individual radial-velocity measurements are available at the CDS "Centre de Données Stellaires'' of Strasbourg Observatory. Several new double-lined spectroscopic binary (SB2) candidates were detected from the present CORAVEL survey. These stars are listed in Table 6, as well as other stars from this program already known as SB2 and confirmed by the present survey. The rotational velocity for these SB2 binary systems will be given in a forthcoming paper. Table 7 gives those F and G evolved stars for which no correlation dip was obtained with CORAVEL. The latter are certainly high rotators.
