A comprehensive list of catalogues of astronomical objects, sorted by name and type. Each catalogue entry provides a brief description, a link to the main article, and a list of objects in the catalogue.
Multispectral imaging captures image data within specific wavelength ranges across the electromagnetic spectrum, such as visible, infrared, and radar. It can be used for various purposes, such as military target identification, document analysis, and Earth observation.
The Sharpless catalog is a list of 313 H II regions (emission nebulae) intended to be comprehensive north of declination −27°. (It does include some nebulae south ...
A catalog of 338 galaxies with unusual shapes or structures, produced by Halton Arp in 1966. The atlas presents photographs of examples of different kinds of peculiar galaxies and their possible physical processes, such as collisions, mergers, or radio jets.
To enable rapid access of specific stars in the catalogue, WCSTools software numbers each star using its Guide Star region number (0001 to 9537) and a five-digit star number within each region, separated by a decimal point. sty2 lists Tycho-2 stars by number or sky region. imty2 lists the Tycho-2 stars within an IRAF or FITS image using the world coordinate system defined in its header.
The Catalog of Components of Double and Multiple Stars, or CCDM, is an astrometric star catalogue of double and multiple stars. It was made by Jean Dommanget and Omer Nys at the Royal Observatory of Belgium in order to provide an input catalogue of stars for the Hipparcos mission. The published first edition of the catalog, released in 1994 ...
The Gum catalog is an astronomical catalog of 84 emission nebulae in the southern sky, named after the Australian astronomer Colin Stanley Gum who discovered them. The Gum Nebula is one of the catalog objects, located in the constellations Vela and Puppis.
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 and 22,395 stars fainter than V=11. Released after the original PPM, the PPM supplemental list was intended to render the PPM complete to magnitude V=7.5.
