Kharchenko N., Kilpio E., Malkov O., Schilbach E. Mira kinematics in the post-Hipparcos era.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The Compiled Catalogue of Mira variables is a result of a merge of
    the 4th edition of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS-4)
    (II/214A) and present-day high-precision catalogues of space
    (Hipparcos-Tycho family: Hipparcos (I/239), Tycho-1 (I/239), Tycho-2
    (I/259), ACT RC (I/246), TRC (I/250)) and ground-based (CMC11 (I/256),
    PPM-N (I/146), PPM-S (I/193), PPM-add (I/208), Kharchenko 1992) data.
    The catalogue contains 1103 Miras. Equatorial coordinates were taken
    from the source catalogues in accordance with the priority: Hipparcos,
    Tycho-2, Tycho-1, CMC11, PPM, Kharchenko 1992. The proper motions of
    1041 Miras are calculated as mean weighted values of source data
    reduced to the Hipparcos system. The radial velocities of 786 Miras
    were taken from nine catalogues and lists of Feast (1963MNRAS.125..367F,
    1966MNRAS.132..495F), Smak and Preston (1965ApJ...142..943S), Perry
    and Bidelman (1965PASP...77..214P), Feast et al. (1972MNRAS.158...23F),
    Dean (1976AJ.....81..364D), Barnes and Fekel (1977Obs....97....1B),
    Feast et al. (1980MNRAS.190..227F), Barbier-Brossat and Figon (2000)
    (III/213), and are given with respect of the absorption lines. For
    those radial velocities, which were determined from emission lines the
    correction has been made along with Ikaunieks (1971) relation:

    VR(abs) - VR(em) = 0.035 * Period.

    For 724 Miras both proper motions and radial velocities are available.
    The stars in the Compiled Catalogue are sorted in the same order as in
    the General Catalogue of Variable Stars.
