VizieR Online Data Catalog: Galaxies and Clusters of Galaxies (CGCG) (Zwicky, 1968)

This document describes a machine-readable version of a portion of the "Catalogue of Galaxies and Clusters of Galaxies" (Zwicky, et al.). The published catalogue covers 560 Palomar Sky Survey fields, and for each field it lists both individual galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Its limiting magnitude for galaxies is approximately +15.5 apparent photographic magnitude. The present machine-readable version includes only the individual galaxies. It consists of two files, the first of which lists the galaxies (data file) and the second of which enumerates the fields covered (headers file). Note: the abbreviation ADC used in this document refers to the Astronomical Data Center, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center. (2 data files).
