The Catalog of Stellar Identifications ( CSI) is a star catalog which was constructed to facilitate cross-referencing between different star catalogs. It contains designations and basic data for, as of 1983, approximately 440,000 stars, and was created by merging the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Star Catalog, the Henry Draper Catalogue ...

The Fifth Fundamental Catalogue Extension (FK5), published in 1991, added 3,117 new stars. The Sixth Fundamental Catalogue (FK6) is a 2000 update of FK5 correlated with the ICRF through the Hipparcos satellite. It comes in two parts: FK6 (I) and FK6 (III). FK6 (I) contains 878 stars, and FK6 (III) contains 3,272 stars.
