Abstract

Photoelectric narrow-band observations have been carried out for 1160 late-type stars north of declination -30d. Most of the stars are of spectral type G and K, and a number of high velocity stars has been included in the programme. Measured are: the G-band break (index g), the cyanogen absorption with band head at 4216 A (index n), the break at 4000 A including the K line of CaII (index k), the metallic-line index m, and two colour indices f and u. The results are presented in a catalogue together with relevant data collected from the literature.
