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.

Historical note:
The distance d of cluster#8 was corrected from 16.4 to 116.4kpc to agree
with the publication.
