(co-author: LukeCEL)
- All stars with parallaxes less than 0.2 mas are rejected.
- All stars with parallax errors greater than the parallax are rejected.
- All stars with errors in position exceeding 25 mas are rejected.
Bright stars with Vmag less than 6 that fail these criteria are added to
revised.stc.
Updated revised.stc and charm2.stc to avoid Modify warnings with the new
database.
Removed all entries restoring original Hipparcos parallax as unnecessary.
Used original Hipparcos parallax for HIP 12031 - luminosity 900 times solar is not plausible for a white dwarf.
Removed entry for Beta Centauri - new Hipparcos reduction agrees with distance from binary orbit.
