Description:
The present edition unifies two parts of Catalogue of interacting
galaxies by B.A. Vorontsov-Velyaminov (1959VV....C......0V 1959VV....C......0V, 1970,
1977A&AS...28....1V 1977A&AS...28....1V). It contains 852 known interacting VV-systems
and 1162 new objects taken from the comments on the galaxies in
Morphological catalogues of galaxies by Vorotsov-Velyaminov et al.
(1962, 1963, 1964, 1968, 1974, Cats. VII/62, VII/100) with numbers
from VV853 to VV2014. The classification of interacting galaxies is
given in accord with the suggestion s of Vorotsov-Velyaminov. The
catalogue contains new information for the galaxies included taken
from the NEDA-NASA/IPAC extragalactic data base.

Note (1): Unlike the preceding parts the new galaxies (from VV853)
were nominated in order of RA2000
Note (2): Interacting galaxies with means values:
The connected lines have the same VV number,
for galaxies without VV number, they have the same flag in byte#7
Note (3): Comments on separate sources:
138: 06 39 50 -27 12.4 defect!

Note (4): Total magnitude of the component or of the whole system:
Bt or B(mB) from NED or mpg from MCG
Note (5): The classification of galaxies on the interaction types is the
same as Vorontsov-Velyaminov has suggested. It was in detail described
at the preface to the second part of VV-catalogue. For each type we
have introduced the conventional designations given below:
HII-regions:
H - large inner subsystems, the galaxies with vast HII-regions,
M51 type - the satellite on the spiral branch of primary component:
M - one satellite
MM - two satellites on the spirals
MMM - satellite lies on the bridge connecting the components
Nests:
N - three or more members in a tight group,
NN - disrupted nest,
NNN - separated triples,
NNNP - triples with a tight pair,
NPNP - the pair of tight pairs,
NP - nest with clear pair,
Ch - chain.
Pairs:
PC - pair of coalescents, b - bridge
PK - pair in contact, t - tail
PD - distant pair. df - disruption of the facade
Pseudo-Rings:
R - a ring without a nucleus together the non-elliptic galaxy
"Comets":
K - comet-like single galaxy,
Enigmatic En including:
Ent - a single galaxy with a tail,
Enf - a single with breaking of inner structure,
Enat - not tidal phenomena.
Note (6): Note on other name:
[,] VV 415 is associated to MCG-07-26-001,MCG-07-26-002,MCG-07-26-003
[=] VV 225 is identified to VV 630 in the original table, but
VV 225 = VV 225a and VV 630 = VV 225b in Simbad
