Stewart Sharpless
of the U.S. Naval Observatory published his catalog of 313 HII regions, and the catalog is comprehensive north of declination -27 degrees using the Palomar Sky Survey plates in 1959. (south of declination -27, the coverage is only partial). The RCW Catalogue (from Rodgers, Campbell & Whiteoak) is an astronomical catalogue of Hα-emission regions in the southern Milky Way, described in (Rodgers et al. 1960). It contains 182 objects, including many of the earlier Gum catalogue (84 items) objects. Below there are clickable thumbnails linked to relative web pages, ordered by their catalog number. |
