Abstract:
The "Catalogue of Galactic Planetary Nebulae (Version 2000)" appears
in Abhandlungen aus der Hamburger Sternwarte, Band XII in the year
2001. It is a continuation of CGPN(1967) and contains 1510 objects
classified as galactic PNe up to the end of 1999. The lists of
possible pre-PNe and possible post-PNe are also given. The catalogue
is restricted only to the data belonging to the location and
identification of the objects. It gives identification charts of PNe
discovered since 1965 (published in the supplements to CGPN) and those
charts of objects discovered earlier, which have wrong or uncertain
identification. The question "what is a planetary nebula" is discussed
and the typical values of PNe and of their central stars are
summarized. Short statistics about the discoveries of PNe are given.
The catalogue is also available in the Centre de Donnees, Strasbourg
and at Hamburg Observatory via internet.
