Description:
This catalog contains for 10411 objects, the Abell, Zwicky, and
Kalinkov numbers of groups of galaxies. In addition, it contains:
Abell or Zwicky coordinates, the Abell or Zwicky numbers of the
supercluster which contains each group, the diameter (Zwicky), the
magnitude (Abell), the compactness (Zwicky), the distance of the group
(both Abell and Zwicky), the richness (Abell) and the population
(Zwicky).

Note on RAh:
The positions in bytes 1 to 9 are from Abell if those are available;
otherwise they are from Zwicky. In both cases they are rounded to the
minute of time or arc. The more specific positions are in bytes 16 to
49.
Note on sup_ID and clus_ID:
For galaxies in superclusters, these columns give the number of the
corresponding supercluster and of the cluster within that supercluster
to which the galaxy belongs.
