Catalogue of Algol type binary stars

Abstract

A catalogue of (411) Algol-type (semi-detached) binary stars is presented in the form of five separate tables of information. The catalogue has developed from an earlier version by including more recent information and an improved layout. A sixth table lists (1872) candidate Algols, about which fewer details are known at present. Some issues relating to the classification and interpretation of Algol-like binaries are also discussed.
