ship
ship finds all of the
Hipparcos Catalog
objects in a specified region of the sky and lists their sky positions or lists
specific entries in that catalog, including Bt and Vt magnitudes, parallax, and
parallax error in milliarcseconds. Output is to stdout, unless the
-w flag is set, in which case it goes to objectname.hipparcos
(if -o objectname is in the command line) or search.hipparcos. ship
is a link to scat.
This program automatically senses the byte order of the catalog and, if
necessary, swaps it to match the byte order of the machine on which it
is executing.
Set the environment variable WCS_BINDIR to the directory containing
the file hipparcos.
