Faint Blue Stars near the South Galactic Pole

The data file is organized into three sections with the same column format. The first 1569 records are for stars with U-V of -0.4 or bluer, which are very definitely blue (Table II of the paper).

The next 2929 stars are somewhat blue, with U-V values of -0.3 or -0.2 (Table III of the paper). The final 4248 records give data for stars with U-V of -0.1 or 0.0 (Table IV of the paper). Photometric, spectroscopic, and proper-motion data have later been acquired for these objects, which revealed the great variety of the objects in this catalogue: white dwarfs, subdwarfs, QSOs (quasars), compact and active galaxies.
