      The Palomar/Michigan State University Catalogue contains basic data for 1971 stars confirmed by the authors to be late K or M main-sequence stars with absolute visual magnitudes of 8.0 or fainter taken from Tables 1A of papers I and II and Table 1D of paper I. Note that known degenerates have been excluded from this sample. All but 6 of these these star were selected from the Catalogue of Nearby Stars (Gliese &amp;amp; Jahreiss, &amp;quot;Preliminary Version of the Third Catalogue of Nearby Stars&amp;quot;, CNS3), and most (88%) lie within 25 parsecs. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in July 1999 based on tables obtained from the ADC/CDS data centers. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
