BRIEF DOCUMENTATION 


The new catalogue of radio sources observed in VLBI with the EVN radio
telescopes starts with Session 1 - 1999. It includes all sources
observed after that date in EVN experiments, global and VSOP experiments
involving at least two EVN telescopes. Experiments with VLBA+Eb are
not included. The catalogue is ordered in increasing right ascension.
Human errors are also included.

The new catalogue contains 12 entries. Details are given below.

Column 1  - J2000 IAU Name
         Each source is recognised with its J2000 IAU name, given as
         Jhhmm+ddss. In a limited number of cases, PIs used B1950 
         coordinates as pointings. In such cases the B1950 IAU name
         is given for the sources, and B1950 RA and DEC are given
         in the appropriate entry.

Column 2  - Alternative source name
         Usually the B1950 IAU name, or common names from other 
         catalogues (optical, radio, IRAS, TXS). The alternative 
         name chosen by the PI in the schedule is given.

Columns 3 and 4 - J2000 RA and DEC
         The pointing coordinates are reported. The format is 
         hhmmsssss and (+/-)ddppsssss. In a limited number of 
         cases B1950 coordinates were used. Such cases are 
         easily recognisable as the source is identified with 
         the B1950 IAU name.

Column 5  - Project Investigator (PI)
Column 6  - Affiliation of the PI at the time of the observations
Column 7  - Project Number
Column 8  - Observing wavelength

Column 9  - Array
           The telescopes involved in the observation are given.
           EVN and VLBA arrays are considered as a whole,
           and are recognised as E and V. In addition:
           Ar  - Arecibo
           Cm  - Cambridge
           Hh  - Hartbstk
           Hlc - Halca 
           Mh  - Metsahovi
           MRL - MERLIN phased array
           Ny  - NY Alesund 
           Ro  - Robledo
           Sh  - Shanghai
           Ur  - Urumqi
           Y   - VLA (Y1 or Y27)
           Yb  - Yebes
           Wz  - Wettzell
