Column 1: Approximate rank of the star in order of apparent magnitude. Column 2: Bayer name for the star. Column 3: Proper name of the star. Usually a weird arabic name. :) Column 4: Right Ascension in hours and minutes for epoch 2000. Column 5: Declination in degrees for epoch 2000. Column 6: Galactic longitude of the star. Column 7: Galactic latitude of the star. Column 8: Spectral classification of the main stars in the system. Column 9: Apparent visual magnitude of the star. A letter 'v' means the magnitude varies by more than 0.1. A letter 'e' means that the star is an eclipsing binary. Column 10: Absolute magnitude of the star. A letter 'v' means the magnitude varies by more than 0.1. Column 11: The Hipparcos parallax of the star (milli-arcseconds). Column 12: The error in the parallax (milli-arcseconds). Column 13: The distance in light years (=3.2616/parallax).
