cds-question@unistra.frvariable-starsearly-type-starsvisible-astronomymedium-band-photometryradial-velocityWe present an extensive and up-to-date catalog of Galactic {beta} Cephei stars. This catalog is intended to give a comprehensive overview of observational characteristics of all known {beta} Cephei stars, covering information until 2004 June. Ninety-three stars could be confirmed to be {beta} Cephei stars. We use data from more than 250 papers published over the last nearly 100 years, and we provide over 45 notes on individual stars. For some stars we reanalyzed published data or conducted our own analyses. Sixty-one stars were rejected from the final {beta} Cephei list, and 77 stars are suspected to be {beta} Cephei stars. A list of critically selected pulsation frequencies for confirmed {beta} Cephei stars is also presented.2005ApJS..158..193Shttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/158/193CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/A+A/286/136 : Radial velocities of four beta Cep variables (Aerts+ 1994)J/A+A/304/406 : Photometry and radial velocities of 16 LacJ/A+A/384/1012 : Variability of WR 86 (Paardekooper+, 2002)J/A+AS/106/79 : VBLUW and UBV Photometry of IL Vel (Heynderickx+ 1994)J/MNRAS/298/753 : Variables in Cygnus OB2 (Pigulski+ 1998)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/158/193https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/158/193http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/158/193https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/158/193https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/158/193http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/158/193GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJS/158/193/table1 (Catalog of Galactic {beta} Cephei stars)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/158/193/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/158/193/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/158/193/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true3.3083315.183330.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/ApJS/158/193/table2 (Candidate {beta} Cephei stars)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/158/193/table2?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/158/193/table2?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/158/193/table2?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true26.6666761.164440.005555555555555556Cone search capability for table J/ApJS/158/193/table3 (Poor and rejected {beta} Cephei candidates)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/158/193/table3?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/158/193/table3?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/158/193/table3?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true9.1958315.231670.0055555555555555566/418 463 1332 1555 1577 1633 1717 1826 1946 3235 3245 3247 3255 3256 3257 3258 3306 3308 3384 3623 3629 3632 9680 12400 13115 13276 13687 13722 13729 13748 14314 14368 14630 14638 14643 14690 14692 14807 14825 14945 15622 15673 15683 16144 17067 17754 19676 19757 20517 20782 20810 20834 20847 20915 21362 21432 21450 21644 21646 21879 22039 22058 22084 22216 22615 22772 22837 22861 22862 22904 22992 22994 23007 23358 23769 23779 23986 23994 23998 24191 24292 24363 25002 25659 27402 28673 28723 28806 28917 29114 29189 29208 30302 30622 31063 31705 31748 37584 37676 37682 37741 37768 37787 37790 37858 37864 37865 37877 37887 37901 37920 37925 37932 37938 38018 38024 38026 38403 38409 38996 39170 39187 39189 39194 39243 39297 39311 39375 39389 39715 39729 39861 39863 40068 40617 41516 41606 41689 41705 41875 41963 41982 41983 42157 42235 42296 42356 42366 42394 42428 42481 42633 42672 42800 42924 42977 43018 43033 43035 43036 43038 43062 43099 43137 43234 43338 43357 43397 43414 43416 43429 43538 44066 44305 44366 44378 44385 44389 47855 48199https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJS/158/193?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/ApJS/158/193/table1Catalog of Galactic {beta} Cephei starsNameStar namemeta.id;meta.maincharprimaryCNameCepheid namemeta.idcharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
