Contributors to the Catalogues

This table lists scientific involvement during the data analysis preparation, observing programme preparation, data reduction, and catalogue production (principal contributors to the Hipparcos Input Catalogue, a full listing of which is given in the printed Hipparcos Input Catalogue, SP-1136, are also included). Evidently, the level of contributions differed greatly, between those who were involved for a short period for a particular contribution, to those whose involvement has extended, essentially full time, for almost 20 years. Bold type indicates leading contributor to the task. Institutes correspond to locations where the activities were undertaken. ESA/ESOC and industrial contributions are not listed here, nor are those of the Scientific Proposals Selection Committee.
