The CfA Redshift Catalogue, Version Nov. 1993

<unpublished, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, (1993)>
ADC_Keywords: Redshifts
Description:
This catalog incorporates much of the latest velocity data from the
Whipple Observatory and other sources as well as velocities from
earlier compilations such as the Second Reference Catalogue of de
Vaucoulers, de Vaucoulers, and Corwin; the Index of Galaxy Spectra of
Gisler and Friel, and the Catalogue of Radial Velocities of Galaxies
of Palumbo, Tanzella-Nitti, and Vettolani. The data included here are
BT magnitudes and a few UGC numbers with increased "accuracy" in the
velocity source information.
