Fifth fundamental catalogue. Part 2: The FK5 extension - new fundamental stars
The mean positions and proper motions for 3117 new fundamental starsessentially in the magnitude range about 4.5 to 9.5 are given in thisFK5 extension. Mean apparent visual magnitude is 7.2 and is on average2.5 magnitudes fainter then the basic FK5 which has a mean magnitude of4.7. (The basic FK5 gives the mean positions and proper motions for theclassical 1535 fundamental stars). The following are discussed: theobservational material, reduction of observations, star selection, andthe system for the FK5 extension. An explanation and description of thecatalog are given. The catalog of 3117 fundamental stars for the equinoxand epoch J2000.0 and B1950.0 is presented. The parallaxes and radialvelocities for 22 extension stars with large forecasting effects aregiven. Catalogs used in the compilation of the FK5 fundamental catalogare listed.

Population studies. IV - The Rose 'red horizontal branch' candidates as probes of the thick disk
DDO observations are reported for 10 of the Upgren (1962) red giantswhich Rose (1985) has identified as red horizontal branch (RHB) stars ofa globular cluster type population in the Gilmore-Reid thick disk. It isshown here that, while in the final analysis Rose's hypothesis may becorrect, it is not unique, and that his RHB candidates have all thecharacteristics of clump stars in the old, metal-deficient, open clusterNGC 2243. The only way to test Rose's hypothesis in an unambiguous wayis to analyze a complete sample of stars having colors in the range B-Vbetween 0.7 and 0.95, rather than one chosen by spectral-type criteria.
