Some Errata found in the Hipparcos Catalogue

The errors or remarks described here concern the main part of the Hipparcos Catalogue only. The errors originally published on the ESA site that concern the main part of the Hipparcos Catalogue are also included.

The luminosity (field H76) for two entries are incorrect on the ASCII CD-ROM:
- HIP 85069 should be B9/B9.5II/III
- HIP 90062 should be B0/B0.5II/III
In the Photometric note (H70=P), the entry for HIP 48662 which queries a misidentification with X Vel due to incompatible measured and historic measurements can be ignored. (Hipparcos measured magnitudes are in the range [6.525,6.969], the literature B magnitudes are quoted as 10.30 to 11.53, B-V is given as 3.76 magnitudes, thus the Hipparcos measurements are probably compatible with the literature.)

Field H56 (historical status flag about double stars): the following HIP entries with flag `H' (i.e. considered previously unknown as double/multiple) should now be considered as flag `M' (system identified after publication of HIC), as reported by C.E. Worley (USNO), October 1997: HIP 6216, HIP 7120, HIP 10885, HIP 16920, HIP 23904, HIP 24398, HIP 27309, HIP 30200, HIP 34524, HIP 48504, HIP 56048, HIP 63688, HIP 72736, HIP 83948, HIP 98645, HIP 99857, HIP 107533, HIP 112422.

The spectral type of stars presented as carbon stars is M for the stars HIP 4266, HIP 14055, HIP 21392, HIP 29564, HIP 88170, HIP 113840
HIP 580 is BD-19 6570, and not BD-09 6570 (Communicated by Nick Mascall to CDS, 21 June2005)
HIP 22767 has a spectral type A0, and is not an carbon star (the N star is -21s/+9" away and is TYC 1832-1766-1,
