A NEW CATALOG OF MEMBERS AND CANDIDATE MEMBERS OF THE HERBIG AE BE (HAEBE) STELLAR GROUP/

A new up-to-date catalogue of Herbig Ae/Be (HAEBE) stars and related o bjects is certainly needed, for both well-seasoned researchers and, in particular, for new investigators starting to study the many interest ing astrophysical properties of these very young objects. We present a brief discussion of the current observational characteristics that di stinguish this class from their main sequence counterparts. The HAEBE and related stars are listed in five tables, containing 287 objects. T able 1 contains all Ae and Be stars which historically are recognized as true HAEBE stars or potential candidate members. Table 2 gives the stars of spectral type Fe, and emission line stars with very uncertain or unknown spectral type. In Table 3 are given all known Extreme Emis sion Line Objects (EELOs), of which most have not been identified to b elong to any specific group. Table 4a and b list other Bep or B[e] sta rs with strong IR-excess and unknown spectral type. Table 5 contains t he non-emission line possible young objects. Furthermore, Table 6 cont ains 35 stars rejected from former published lists of HAEBE stars. In these tables we are including coordinates, spectral types, visual magn itudes, ranges in photometric variability and references of several ke y publications related to each object. Relevant remarks, such as the p resence of a nebula in the vicinity of an object, are also given.
