Hello,
I have noticed a couple of errors on OW Hya (HD 83650). The measurements section shows only one spectral type, A0Vn. In fact, there are two other spectral types which I suggest to be shown. The type B9III is given in the Michigan HD re-classifications (see (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1999mctd.book.....H)) bu Houk and Smith (see also
III/214
), and
Abt and Morrell
give a type of A0V SB(2). My recent work on late-B star binaries indicates that these disparate spectral types are not spurious, and I believe they should be shown on the measurements page. Also, Brian Skiff's spectral type catalogue (see
B/mk/
), which does list all three types, incorrectly attributes the B9III to
Hube (1970)
. That information undoubtedly originated in the Michigan catalog, as Hube did not classify the spectra he used in his paper.
Cheers,
Thom Gandet
