Abstract
The Tycho Catalogue1 contains astrometric data and (B, V) photometry for more than one million stars. The double stars with separations wider than about 3 arcsec appear as two separate entries as if they were two single stars. Between 1.5 and 3 arcsec, the two components are possibly also separate entries, but the photometric data is somewhat less accurate. Double stars with separations as close as 0.4 arcsec were also detected in the Tycho observations, and they are flagged in the Catalogue.
