The Perkins catalog of revised MK types for the cooler stars
Abstract
A catalog is presented listing the spectral types of the G, K, M, and S stars that have been classified at the Perkins Observatory in the revised MK system. Extensive comparisons have been made to ensure consistency between the MK spectral types of stars in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Different classification spectrograms have been gradually improved in spite of some inherent limitations. In the catalog, the full subclasses used are the following: G0, G5, G8, K0, K1, K2, K3, K4, K5, M0, M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, and M8. The irregularities are the price paid for keeping the general scheme of the original Henry Draper classification.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
