J/other/PASA/30.4 Corrections to the VV13 Catalogue (Flesch, 2013) ================================================================================ Optical Corrections to the Veron-Cetty and Veron Quasar Catalogue Flesch E. =2013PASA...30....4F ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: QSOs ; Active gal. nuclei ; BL Lac objects Keywords: catalogs ; Quasars: general Abstract: Fixes are presented to be applied to the Veron-Cetty and Veron (VCV) Quasar Catalogue, 13th edition (Cat. VII/258). These are comprised of 39 deduplicati ons, 380 astrometric moves of 8+ arcseconds of which 31 are over 10 arcminutes, and 30 indicated delistings.
