VII/103 Galactic Globular Clusters (Monella 1985)
================================================================================
Catalogue of Galactic Globular Clusters
Monella R.
<Coelum LIII, 287 (1985)>
================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Clusters, globular
Description:
The catalogue collects, for the first time, the most important data
concerning all the galactic globular clusters still well known.
Here the objects enclosed in famous publications like the ones of Arp
(1965), Alter et al. (1970), Alcaino (1973) are reported,
with the addition of new clusters noticed recently (TER, ESO, UKS, TJ)
and till KOD 1, found by K. Kodaira in July 1983 (IAUC 3846).
The most important disposable data in literature have been found about
every object. For the clusters found recently, the data may be
fragmentary and susceptible of variations. A particular care has been
utilized in the research of the most reliable informations and data,
that have been homogenized and put in order later on.
