Keywords :

Abstract:The catalog is a compilation of all published optical identifications of extragalactic radio sources. This machine-readable version is an updated and greatly expanded edition of the original published one; this version contains 14585 identifications and citations to 917 papers. The data file contains most commonly used source name, number in the 4C catalog Gower et al. (1967), and Pilkington and Scott (1965) if applicable, right ascension and declination (equinox B1950.0), magnitude estimate for the identification type of optical object, identification reference, alternate name for identified object (if known), confirmation or invalidation code and associated reference, finding chart existence (or nonexistence), redshift, and reference for ...(more)

The documentation was essentially written by Wayne H. Warren Jr., and exists as document NSSDC/WDC-A-R&S 83-12, National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC)/World Data Center A for Rockets and Satellites (WDC-A-R&S), National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland 20771, November 1983). This ReadMe file is based on the above and on an Intro by CDS (19-Jun-1993). CDS thanks L. S. Fischer for supplying a preliminary version of the catalog on magnetic tape and M.P. Veron-Cetty for supplying a magnetic tape of the final version, and for supplying new code definitions for codes which had been added since the 1974 version.
