List of astronomical catalogs

This is a list of astronomical catalogs . An astronomical catalog is a directory of astronomical objects with common properties, such as shape, composition or their method of discovery. Astronomical catalogs are usually the result of an astronomical study .

Remarks

1. ↑ The catalog is an expanded version of George Ogden Abell's original northern catalog from 1958, which only contained 2,712 galaxy clusters. In 1989 it was supplemented by a further 1,361 clusters from the previously unrecognized parts of the southern sky. The catalog was created by inspecting the red-sensitive images of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey with the help of a magnifying glass. The southern addition comes from images taken with the UK Schmidt telescope. Each of the clusters contained includes at least 30 galaxies between the brightness of the third brightest cluster member m3 and two magnitudes weaker (m3 + 2).
2. ↑ William Herschel published his observations at the Royal Society of London in 1786 (1000 objects), 1789 (1000 objects) and 1802 (500 objects). He divided the objects into the following categories:

   1. Bright fog

   2. Faint fog

   3. Very faint fog

   4. Planetary nebulae

   5. Very large nebulae

   6. Very compact and star-rich star clusters

   7. Compact clusters of small and large stars

   8. Coarsely scattered star clusters

   The categories can be found as Roman numerals or as normal numbers (H III.39 or H 3.39).

3. ↑ 1833 h 1 - h 2307 Publication by the "Royal Society" of observations in Slough, England in the "Philosophical Transaction".
   1847 h 2308 - h 4021 observations at the Cape of Good Hope: "Results of Astronomical Observations made during the years 1834, 5, 6, 7, 8 at the Cape of Good Hope , being a completion of a telescopic survey of the whole surface of the visible heavens commenced in 1825 "Published by Smith, Elder & Co., London
4. ↑ It was created in the 1880s, mainly based on observations by Wilhelm Herschel , and published in 1888. In 1895 and 1908 the two index catalogs IC I and IC II were added. Due to the large number, it also contains some minor errors. B. contain some objects several times under different catalog numbers. The objects are sorted by right ascension .
