cds-question@unistra.frcatalogsastrometryTycho Brahe completed his catalogue with the positions and magnitudes of 1004 fixed stars in 1598. This catalogue circulated in manuscript form. Brahe edited a shorter version with 777 stars, printed in 1602, and Kepler edited the full catalogue of 1004 stars, printed in 1627. We provide machine-readable versions of the three versions of the catalogue, describe the differences between them and briefly discuss their accuracy on the basis of comparison with modern data from the Hipparcos Catalogue. We also compare our results with earlier analyses by Dreyer (1916Obs....39..127D, On Tycho Brahe's manual of trigonometry) and Rawlins (1993BAAS...25.1335R, Atmospheric Clarity and Tycho's Fake Stars), finding good overall agreement. The magnitudes given by Brahe correlate well with modern values, his longitudes and latitudes have error distributions with widths of 2-arcmin, with excess numbers of stars with larger errors (as compared to Gaussian distributions), in particular for the faintest stars. Errors in positions larger than about 10-arcmin, which comprise about 15 per cent of the entries, are likely due to computing or copying errors.2010A&A...516A..28Vhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/516/A28CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toI/239 : The Hipparcos and
