Hewitt&Burbidge(1993)QSOCatalog

Published by High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: September 14, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-10
This is (a somewhat condensed form of) the Hewitt & Burbidge (1993) Revised and Updated Catalog of Quasi-Stellar Objects, and contains all then-known (to 1992 December 31) quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) with measured emission redshifts and BL Lac objects. The catalog contains 7315 objects, nearly all of which are quasi-stellar objects, and 89 of which are BL Lac objects. It contains extensive information on names, positions, magnitudes, colors, emission-line redshifts, absorption-line systems, etc. The published version of this catalog (Hewitt & Burbidge 1993, ApJS, 87, 451) typically contained multiple rows on information for each object. This database basically has only the information given in the first row for every object, and is based on the CDS/ADC table VII/158 table1_1.dat.gz. This database was created by the HEASARC in February 2001 based on CDS/ADC Catalog VII/158 (table1_1.dat.gz). This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
