The Guide Star Catalog is an online catalogue of stars produced for the purpose of accurately positioning and identifying stars satisfactory for use as guide stars by the Hubble Space Telescope program. The first version of the catalogue was produced in the late 1980s by digitizing photographic plates and contained about 20 million stars, out ...
GSC — Guide Star Catalog. GSC2 / GSC II — Guide Star Catalog II; GSPC — Guide Star Photometric Catalog. GSPC2 — Guide Star Photometric Catalog, 2nd; Gsh — J. Glaisher (double stars) GΣ — G. Struve (double stars) Gtb — K. Gottlieb (double stars) Gui — J. Guillaume (double stars) Gum — Gum catalog of emission nebulae
The Tycho Input Catalog was created by the Hipparcos/Tycho international consortia in preparation for the Hipparcos satellite mission. They produced a catalog containing the best available data for all stars to magnitude 11. Adding the bright star data from this catalog to the GSC produced a complete all-sky catalog down to the GSC limiting ...
Catalog of 5,268 Standard Stars Based on the Normal System N30; Catalog of Components of Double and Multiple Stars; Catalog of Nearby Habitable Systems; Catalog of Stellar Identifications; Catalogue of rotational velocities of the stars; Catalogue of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits; Catalogues of Fundamental Stars
Sir Patrick Moore compiled the Caldwell catalogue in 1995 to complement the Messier catalog, listing 109 bright star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies named C1 to C109. This is a list of deep-sky objects of interest to amateur astronomy and not a catalog in the professional science sense. Other deep-sky observing lists for amateur astronomers ...
NGC 2000.0 (also known as the Complete New General Catalog and Index Catalog of Nebulae and Star Clusters) is a 1988 compilation of the NGC and IC made by Roger W. Sinnott, using the J2000.0 coordinates. [17] [18] It incorporates several corrections and errata made by astronomers over the years. [5]
In contrast to the PPM, these older catalogs are based on (1) the now obsolete FK4 system of positions and proper motions, and (2) only two position measures per star. [2] While the SAO catalog is more or less complete to V=9, with 4,503 stars fainter than V=10, the PPM catalog is fairly complete to V=9.5, with 102,672 stars fainter than V=10 ...
[citation needed] This list of stars is based on the "NGC 2000.0" version of the catalog, which lists the stars in its errata, [citation needed] supplemented with data on each individual star from the VizieR database.
