A new edition of the General Catalogue of Trigonometric Stellar Parallaxes is being prepared at the Yale University Observatory. The Catalogue will include all published photographic parallaxes, a reference to the source of the published parallax, UBV photoelectric photometry, MK spectral types, cross identifications with other catalogues, data on the binary nature of the stars and auxiliary information to aid in determining the reliability of the data. An analysis of the parallaxes corrected to absolute has been made to study the accidental and systematic errors of the parallaxes. The new edition will be available in both printed and magnetic tape versions.
