- Title:
- Galactic Planetary Nebulae Catalog
- Short Name:
- Plan.Neb.
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This is the 1992 Version of the Strasbourg-ESO Catalog of Galactic Planetary Nebulae (Acker et al.1992). It includes 1143 true and probable planetary nebulae (from Table 1 of the publication) and 347 objects whose status was still unclear and were thus classified among the "possible" planetary nebulae (from Table 2 of the publication); it does not include 330 objects once considered as possible planetary nebulae but which the authors have since rejected (listed in Table 3 of the publication). The designation system for the planetary nebulae listed in this catalog follows the recommendations of IAU Commission 5 (Astronomical Nomenclature) with the structure: "PN Glll.l+bb.b", where PN means "Planetary Nebula", G stands for "Galactic Coordinates", and lll.l+bb.b are the galactic longitude and latitude respectively, truncated to one decimal place. Copies of the complete catalog, including the Finding Charts (Part I) can be ordered from the ESO Information Service, Karl-Schwarzschildstr. 2, D-85748 Garching bei Muenchen, Germany. This database was created by the HEASARC in May 2001 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/V/84">CDS Catalog V/84</a>, tables main.dat, diam.dat, dist.dat, dista.dat, hbeta.dat, iras.dat, nir.dat, radio.dat, vel.dat, cstar.dat, and pospn.dat.

- Title:
- Lynds Catalog of Bright Nebulae
- Short Name:
- Lynds(Bright)
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Lynds' Catalog of Bright Nebulae lists the coordinates of the center of the cloud, the dimensions of the nebulae as measured on the photograph on which it appeared at its brightest, the area of nebulosity in square degrees, color as compared between the blue and red Palomar plates, a brightness index on a scale from 1 to 6, an identification number that indicates the complexity of the nebulosity, and a cross reference to NGC (Cat. <VII.1>), Index Catalogue (IC), Sharpless (1959) Catalogue of HII Regions (Cat. <VII/20>), Cederblad (1956) Catalogue of Diffuse Galactic Nebulae, and Dorschner and Gurtler (1963). This database originates from the NASA/ADC CD-ROM "Selected Astronomical Catalogs Vol. 1", dated 09-July-1992. The CDS made several corrections to this and added the LBN sequence number. The current HEASARC version of this table was revised in February 2001 and is based on the CDS version. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Title:
- Lynds Catalog of Dark Nebulae
- Short Name:
- Lynds(Dark)
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This catalog is an updated version of the original version of the Lynds' Catalog of Dark Nebulae that was published in 1962. The catalog was based on a study of the red and blue prints of the National Geographic - Palomar Observatory Sky Atlas. The catalog contains positions for the centers of dark nebulae or clouds found by Lynds, values for the cloud sizes in square degrees, visual estimates of their opacity, and cross-identifications to Barnard Objects which are associated with the tabulated clouds. This HEASARC version of the LDN Catalog was created in June 1997. It was derived from <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/7A">CDS Catalog VII/7A</a> obtained from <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/7A/">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/7A/</a>. Please refer to the CDS <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/7A/ReadMe">"Historical Notes"</a> for details regarding the lineage of this version. Additional information provided in the HEASARC documentation was taken from the original published version of this catalog. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Title:
- Messier Nebulae
- Short Name:
- Messier
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Messier Catalog of bright, extended objects was compiled by the comet-hunter Charles Messier in the 18th century. It comprised a list of 110 objects which are mostly brighter than 10th magnitude and have angular sizes from 1 to 100 arcminutes. M 102 is now generally considered to be spurious, and the object so named was actually M 101. Hence this electronic version of the Messier Catalog contains only 109 objects. The objects in the Messier Catalog are predominantly star clusters in our Milky Way galaxy, with 29 of them being globular clusters, 27 open clusters; the rest are spiral galaxies (27), elliptical galaxies (11), diffuse and planetary nebulae (10), and miscellaneous objects (5). All of the objects in the Messier Catalog are north of -35 degrees declination. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Title:
- Milky Way Project First Data Release IR Bubble Catalog
- Short Name:
- MWP1BUBBLE
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains a new catalog of 5106 infrared bubbles created through visual classification via the online citizen science website 'The Milky Way Project' (MWP). Bubbles in the new catalog have been independently measured by at least five individuals, producing consensus parameters for their positions, radii, thicknesses, eccentricities and position angles. Citizen scientists - volunteers recruited online and taking part in this research - have independently rediscovered the locations of at least 86% of three widely used catalogs of bubbles and H II regions while finding an order of magnitude more objects. 29% of the bubbles in the Milky Way Project catalog lie on the rim of a larger bubble, or have smaller bubbles located within them, opening up the possibility of better statistical studies of triggered star formation. This online resource of the <a href="http://www.milkywayproject.org/">Milky Way Project</a> provides a crowd-sourced map of bubbles and arcs in the Milky Way, and will enable better statistical analysis of Galactic star formation sites. This table is the first data release of the MWP IR Bubble Catalog: the authors anticipate a future release of a second, refined catalog incorporating better data-reduction techniques. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2013 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/424/2442">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/424/2442</a> files mwplarge.dat and mwpsmall.dat.

- NGC2000.0: Complete New General Catalog and Index Catalog
- Short Name:
- NGC
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- NGC 2000.0 is a modern compilation of the New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (NGC), the Index Catalogue (IC), and the Second Index Catalogue compiled by J. L. E. Dreyer (1888, 1895, 1908). The new compilation of these classical catalogs is intended to meet the needs of present-day observers by reporting positions at equinox 2000.0 and by incorporating the corrections reported by Dreyer himself and by a host of other astronomers who have worked with the data and compiled lists of errata. The object types given are those known to modern astronomy.

This HEASARC table was last updated in September 2022, based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/118">CDS catalog VII/118</a> file ngc2000.dat, in order to correct some truncated description fields.

- Sharpless H II Regions
- Short Name:
- Sharpless
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This database table is derived from data contained in the Sharpless Catalogue of H II regions. The original catalog was published in 1959 in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series (number 41, pages 257- 280). The original card deck was in the 026 punch and this was converted to a 029 deck. Many of the quantities in this version of the catalog were not in the published catalog. The epochs of the precessed equatorial coordinates were determined empirically from the data as given on the computer cards. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
