Description:
The catalog is the complete bibliographical listing for globular
clusters from the second edition of the "Catalogue of Star Clusters
and Associations (CSCA)" edited by Alter et al. (1970), and the
"Supplement to the CSCA" by Ruprecht et al. (1981). Thus, it covers
the literature through 1973.
The file "main" contains the original data: for each cluster, the
first line contains the running number (GCL) followed by designations
used by various authors; the second line contains the 1950
coordinates, the 50-yr precession, the galactic coordinates, the
galactic direction cosines and the position on the POSS charts;
the lines following provide the following parameters:
YEAR: Year of the literature reference
NAME: Author
PUBLICATION: Reference
AD: Apparent diameter of the cluster (arcmin)
DIST: Distance of the cluster (pc)
LD: Linear diameter of the cluster (pc)
N: Number of stars studied
CE: Color excess
SP: Integrated spectrum
RV: Radial velocity (km/s)
MT: Total (integrated) magnitude
NOTE: Notes
The file "clusters" has been created from second lines; missing
positions were filled with the help of the SIMBAD data-base
http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Simbad/html.
