Abstract

This catalogue contains stellar angular diameter estimate for bright stars, complete for all stars with Hipparcos parallaxes. The JMMC Calibrator Workgroup has long developed methods to estimate the angular diameter of stars, and provides this expertise in the SearchCal software (http://www.jmmc.fr/searchcal). "SearchCal" creates a dynamical catalogue of stars suitable to calibrate Optical Long-Baseline Interferometry (OLBI) observations from on-line queries of CDS catalogues, according to observational parameters. In essence, SearchCal is limited only by the completeness of the stellar catalogues it uses, and in particular is not limited in magnitude. SearchCal being an application centered on OLBI peculiar purposes, it appeared useful to publish the estimated angular diameters of all stars with known parallaxes in a static catalogue. The present catalogue of stellar angular diameters has been obtained from an automated SearchCal results aggregation on the whole celestial sphere. For each star, the value of the limb-darkened angular diameters are computed using a surface brightness method and calibrations for (B-V), (V-R) and (V-K) color indexes. Stars whose angular diameters estimated from the various color indexes are not comparable, are rejected, and a reliable error on the estimated diameter is computed (1). For details of the method see Bonneau et al. (2006A&A...456..789B). To avoid specific confusion problems, spectroscopic binaries in the 9th Catalogue of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits (Pourbaix et al., 2009, Cat. B/sb9) or close visual binaries with a separation of less than 2 arc seconds in the Washington Visual Double Star Catalog (Mason et al., 2001, Cat. B/wds) have been filtered out.
