- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This is the Hewitt & Burbidge (1991) Optical Catalog of Extragalactic Emission-Line Objects Similar to Quasi-Stellar Objects. It contains a total of 935 galaxies which have optical properties similar to QSOs. Most of the objects appear to be nonstellar. The majority, more than 700, have redshifts z that are <= 0.2, and most have been classified as Seyfert galaxies, N systems, or radio galaxies. The redshift distribution peaks at z ~ 0.025, but there are about 200 powerful radio galaxies in the extended tail of the distribution which have z > 0.2. There is a separate and distinct peak in the redshift distribution at z = 0.06. Notice that this catalog does not include star-like objects with emission-line redshifts >= 0.1 (these can be found in the HEASARC QSO database which contains the Revised and Updated Catalog of Quasi-Stellar Objects" of Hewitt, A. and Burbidge, G. 1993, ApJS, Vol. 87, pp. 451-947). Neither does it contain LINERs (sometimes called Seyfert 3 galaxies) or starburst galaxies. This database was created by the HEASARC in February 2001 based on CDS/ADC Catalog VII/178 (table1.dat).

- Description:
- This is (a somewhat condensed form of) the Hewitt & Burbidge (1993) Revised and Updated Catalog of Quasi-Stellar Objects, and contains all then-known (to 1992 December 31) quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) with measured emission redshifts and BL Lac objects. The catalog contains 7315 objects, nearly all of which are quasi-stellar objects, and 89 of which are BL Lac objects. It contains extensive information on names, positions, magnitudes, colors, emission-line redshifts, absorption-line systems, etc. The published version of this catalog (Hewitt & Burbidge 1993, ApJS, 87, 451) typically contained multiple rows on information for each object. This database basically has only the information given in the first row for every object, and is based on the CDS/ADC table VII/158 table1_1.dat.gz. This database was created by the HEASARC in February 2001 based on CDS/ADC Catalog VII/158 (table1_1.dat.gz). This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Hickson Compact Groups of Galaxies (HCG) Catalog
- Short Name:
- Hickson Group
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The HCG database table is based on the Hickson Catalog, which is a list of 100 compact groups of galaxies that were identified by a systematic search of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey red prints. Each group contains four or more galaxies, has an estimated mean surface brightness brighter than 26.0 magnitude per arcsec<sup>2</sup> and satisfies an isolation criterion. Dynamical parameters which were derived for 92 of the 100 groups are also included in the database. (Note that the Hubble constant was assumed to be Ho = 100 km/s/Mpc.) This database table essentially contains the information given in Table 1 of Hickson, P. (1982, ApJ, 255, 382) and Table 3 of Hickson, P. et al. (1992, ApJ, 399, 353). Consequently, the information on individual galaxies in the Hickson groups that is also given in these references, e.g., in Table 2 of Hickson, P. et al. (1992, ApJ, 399, 353), is not in the HCG database table; however, the latter data can be found in the related HEASARC database table HCGGALAXY. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in August, 1999, based on machine-readable tables obtained from the ADC/CDS data centers (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/213:">CDS catalog VII/213:</a> files groups.dat and dynamics.dat). The HEASARC refined the coordinates, corrected the dynamics_flag values, and updated the table's metadata in August, 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Hickson Compact Groups of Galaxies (HCG) Individual Galaxies Data
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The HCGGALAXY database table is based on the Hickson Catalog of Compact Groups, and contains data on 463 galaxies in 100 compact groups of galaxies that were identified by a systematic search of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey red prints. Each group contains four or more galaxies, has an estimated mean surface brightness brighter than 26.0 magnitude per arcsec<sup>2</sup> and satisfies an isolation criterion. Astrometry, photometry, and morphological types, derived from CCD images, are presented for the 463 galaxies. Radial velocities are given for 457 of the 463 galaxies: more than 84% of the galaxies measured have radial velocities that are within 1000 km/s of the group median velocity. Morphological information derived from either an isophotal analysis or from a visual inspection of images is given for 210 of the 463 galaxies. This database table essentially contains the information given in Table 2 of Hickson, P. et al. (1989, ApJS, 70, 687), Table 2 of Hickson, P. et al. (1992, ApJ, 399, 353), and Table 2 of Mendes de Oliveira, C. and Hickson, P. (1994, ApJ, 427, 684). Consequently, the information on the properties of the Hickson Compact Groups as units that is also given in some of these references, e.g., in Table 3 of Hickson, P. et al. (1992, ApJ, 399, 353), is not in the HCGGALXY database table; however, the latter data can be found in the related HEASARC database table HCG. This database table was created by the HEASARC in August, 1999, based on machine-readable tables obtained from the ADC/CDS data centers (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/213">CDS catalog VII/213</a>, files galaxies.dat and morpho.dat). The HEASARC added Galactic coordinates and updated the table's metadata in August, 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This bibliographic catalog is created by essentially matching scientific publications archived in the ADS with specific observations archived in the HEASARC. The papers can be refereed, unrefereed, or even arXiv preprints that have already been accepted or initially submitted for publication. Each observation in HEASARC's database tables has an ID parameter and each publication has a unique bibliographic reference code (bibcode), allowing a specific match to be made. The information in this table comes from correspondence from the author. This table is updated automatically shortly after the data is received. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Hipparcos Input Catalog
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This database table contains the Hipparcos Input Main Cataloge of 118209 stars. The Hipparcos Input Catalogue was constructed as the observing program for the European Space Agency's Hipparcos astrometry mission. The requirements of the project in terms of completeness, sky coverage, astrometric and photometric accuracy, as well as the necessary optimization of the scientific impact, resulted in an extended effort to compile and homogenize existing data, to clarify sources and identifications, and, where needed, to collect new data matching the required accuracy. This has resulted in an unprecedented catalog of stellar data including up-to-date information of positions, proper motions, magnitudes and colors, and (wherever available) spectral types, radial velocities, multiplicity and variability information. The catalog is complete to well-defined magnitude limits and includes a substantial sampling of the most important stellar categories present in the solar neighborhood beyond these limits. The magnitudes vary from 7.3 to 9 mag as a function of galactic latitude and spectral type, and there are no stars fainter than about V=13 mag. The 118209 stars of the Hipparcos Input Catalogue were selected from some 214000 distinct candidates contained in some 214 observations programs. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- The Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues are the primary products of the European Space Agency's astrometric mission, Hipparcos. The satellite, which operated for four years, returned high quality scientific data from November 1989 to March 1993. Each of the catalogues contains a large quantity of very high quality astrometric and photometric data. In addition there are associated annexes featuring variability and double/multiple star data, and solar system astrometric and photometric measurements. In the case of the Hipparcos Catalogue, the principal parts are provided in both printed and machine-readable form (on CDROM). In the case of the Tycho Catalogue, results are provided in machine-readable form only (on CDROM). Although in general only the final reduced and calibrated astrometric and photometric data are provided, some auxiliary files containing results from intermediate stages of the data processing, of relevance for the more-specialised user, have also been retained for publication. (Some, but not all, data files are available from the Centre de Donnees astronomiques de Strasbourg.) The global data analysis tasks, proceeding from nearly 1000 Gbit of raw satellite data to the final catalogues, was a lengthy and complex process, and was undertaken by the NDAC and FAST Consortia, together responsible for the production of the Hipparcos Catalogue, and the Tycho Consortium, responsible for the production of the Tycho Catalogue. A fourth scientific consortium, the INCA Consortium, was responsible for the construction of the Hipparcos observing programme, compiling the best-available data for the selected stars before launch into the Hipparcos Input Catalogue. The production of the Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues marks the formal end of the involvement in the mission by the European Space Agency and the four scientific consortia. For much more information about this catalog, such as fuller descriptions of the parameters, the user is urged to check the Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogs website at <a href="https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/hipparcos/catalogues">https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/hipparcos/catalogues</a>. This database table was created by the HEASARC in April 2000 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/I/239">CDS Catalog I/239</a> file hip_main.dat.gz, the Hipparcos Main Catalog. It was updated in October 2002 to fix some entries which were missing coordinates. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
