Abstract
The Catalog of High Angular Resolution Measurements (CHARM)
includes most of the measurements obtained by the
techniques of lunar occultations and long-baseline interferometry
at visual and infrared wavelengths, which have appeared in the
literature or have otherwise been made public until mid-2001. A
total of 2432 measurements of 1625 sources are included, along
with extensive auxiliary information. In particular, visual and
infrared photometry is included for almost all
the sources. This has been partly extracted
from currently available catalogs, and partly obtained
specifically for CHARM. The main aim is to provide a compilation
of sources which could be used as calibrators or for science
verification purposes by the new generation of large ground-based
facilities such as the ESO Very Large Interferometer and the Keck
Interferometer.
