The Tokyo PMC catalog 90-93: Catalog of positions of 6649 stars observed in 1990 through 1993 with Tokyo photoelectric meridian circle The sixth annual catalog of the Tokyo Photoelectric Meridian Circle(PMC) is presented for 6649 stars which were observed at least two timesin January 1990 through March 1993. The mean positions of the starsobserved are given in the catalog at the corresponding mean epochs ofobservations of individual stars. The coordinates of the catalog arebased on the FK5 system, and referred to the equinox and equator ofJ2000.0. The mean local deviations of the observed positions from theFK5 catalog positions are constructed for the basic FK5 stars to comparewith those of the Tokyo PMC Catalog 89 and preliminary Hipparcos resultsof H30.
| HD 47147 - A small-amplitude extreme metal-poor RRab pulsating variable The photometric variations and physical and kinematical properties of HD47147, a ninth magnitude metal-deficient star, are discussed. The longperiod (0.79732 days), the small amplitude (0.17 mag in the visualband), and the mean effective temperature of 6160 K of this RR Lyraepulsating variable can be understood by its location near the red edgeof the instability strip. The extreme Population II characteristics ofHD 47147 are confirmed by its kinematical properties. The temperatureand the relatively high luminosity derived are consistent with bothpossibilities that HD 47147 is a red horizontal branch star or that itis a suprahorizontal branch star actually evolving redward toward theasymptotic branch. Its low amplitude suggests the possibility that thered edge of the instability strip corresponds to a smooth transitionfrom variable to non-variable stars.
