Description:
 The Extended Hipparcos Compilation (XHIP) cross-references the New
 Hipparcos Reduction (HIP2, Cat. I/311) with relatable data from a
 broad survey of presently available sources. The resulting collection
 uniquely assigns 116,096 spectral classifications, 46,392 radial
 velocities, and 19,097 iron abundances [Fe/H] to Hipparcos stars.
 Stellar classifications from SIMBAD and indications of multiplicity
 from either CCDM (Cat. I/274) or WDS (Cat. B/wds) are provided.
 Parameters for solar encounters and Galactic orbits are calculated for
 a subset of stars that can be made kinematically complete.
 Memberships in open clusters and stellar associations are assigned.
 We also provide stellar ages from The Geneva-Copenhagen survey of the
 Solar neighbourhood III (Cat. V/130), identifications of exoplanet
 host stars, and supplemental photometry from 2MASS (Cat. II/246) and
 SIMBAD.

Note (27): the separation parameter n is a measure of the concentration of
 a cluster, and of its separation from the surrounding star field (low
 values show poor dynamical separation from surrounding stars). A value
 of 5 is usual for a cluster, while 3.5 is typical for an
 association.
