VizieR Online Data Catalog: The star catalogue of Wilhelm IV (Verbunt+, 2021)

Abstract

We present a Machine-readable version of the star catalogue of Wilhelm IV (1586). In addition to the data from the Historical catalogue, the machine-readable version contains the modern identification with a Hipparcos star and the latter’s magnitude, and based on this identification the positional accuracy.
