The Strasbourg-ESO Catalogue of Galactic Planetary Nebulae. Parts I, II.
Abstract
The selection of the objects populating this catalogue is mainly based on an observational programme, and a verification programme consisting of spectroscopic observations for all suspected planetary nebulae, assuming that a planetary nebula has a spectral signature which can easy be recognised. For the present catalogue, a list of 1820 objects, each of them called at least once a planetary nebula, have been inspected; 1143 of them have been classified as true or probable planetary nebulae; 347 objects, which status is still unclear, were classified among the "possible" planetary nebulae. Finally, 330 objects have been rejected. Part I: A. Explanation of the catalogue. B. Tables. C. References of papers containing 20 objects or more. D. Finding charts. Part II: The catalogue.
