Abstract:
    A catalog of 128 double stars with measured periods of apsidal motion
    is compiled. Besides the apsidal periods, the orbital elements of
    binaries and physical parameters of components (masses, radii,
    effective temperatures, surface gravities) are given. The agreement of
    the apsidal periods found by various authors is discussed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): A negative value implies retrograde rotation of the line of apsides
Note (2): the types are
       D: detached
      SD: semi-detached
       C: contact
      CO: with compact object (white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole)
      CC: binary compact object
Note (3): the symbols have the following meaning:
        ) when values calculated by the authors using data of original papers
       c: compact
       * when the value in Mass is Msin^3^i. If there is no uncertainty,
          then this is the mass function.
Note (4): A colon implies unreliability of the listed apsidal period,
     letters (M for Mass, R for Rad, Sp for Spectral type, r for rad)
     denote uncertainty on these parameters, the letter "C" denotes
     uncertainty in all data on components, and the letter "S" denotes
     uncertainty in all data on the system except the orbital period.
