Strasbourg-ESO Catalogue of Galactic Planetary Nebulae

=============================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Planetary nebulae ; Spectroscopy
Description:
The electronic version of the catalogue referenced above includes
1143 true and probable planetary nebulae (Table 1 of publication);
347 objects which status is still unclear were classified among the
"possible" planetary nebulae (file pospn, Table 2 of publication);
and 330 objects have been rejected (file notpn, Table 3 of publication).
The designation system of the planetary nebulae of this catalogue
follows the recommendations of IAU Commission 5 (Astronomical
Nomenclature) with the structure:
PN Glll.l+bb.b
where PN means "Planetary Nebula", G stands for "Galactic Coordinates",
and lll.l+bb.b stand for the galactic longitude and latitude
respectively, truncated to one decimal place.
The designations following this system appear in the columns
labelled "PNG" in the tables described below, where the "PN G"
prefix has been stripped.
Data concerning the 1143 true and probable planetary nebulae
(part II of the publication) have been grouped in a set of related
tables described below, all sorted by the "PNG" column.
Note that, unlike the printed volume, only the bibliographic
references corresponding to data listed in the tables are
provided here, in the "refs" file.
Copies of the complete catalogue, including the Finding Charts
(Part I) can still be ordered at the ESO Information Service,
Karl-Schwarzschildstr. 2, D-85748 Garching bei Muenchen, Germany,
at a price of DM 135.

Note 1 on Al 2-E: this PK number (359+ 3 4) was first given to the
object Wray 11-88 by Allen in 1979 (Obs. 93, 83) and then used
by MacConnel in 1983 (Vatican Obs. Publ. 2, n.5, 63). The object
Wray 17-88 was not detected as having any emission line and
is this not a PN. Kohoutek in 1983 gives the
designation 359+3 4 to the object Al 2-E found by Allen and
this should be used, although Allen himself gives 359+3 5.
