HISTORY This FITS header is NOT a complete scientific document for the subject
HISTORY catalog. It serves only as a minimal description of the general
HISTORY format and structure of the data file.
HISTORY A copy of "Documentation for the Machine-Readable Version of
HISTORY Quasars and Active Nuclei", Raugh 1987, Doc. No. STX-T-1-3002-3201-87
HISTORY should accompany any computer-readable version of the catalog.
HISTORY Source Catalog Reference: Veron-Cetty, M. P. and Veron, P. 1987,
HISTORY ESO Scientific Report (in press).
COMMENT This table contains data for 3543 quasars (a quasar is defined as "a
COMMENT star-like object, or object with a starlike nucleus, brighter than
COMMENT absolute magnitude -23" -- Veron-Cetty and Veron 1987). While the
COMMENT printed version lists 3473 quasars with redshifts published prior to
COMMENT January 1, 1987, the computer-readable version also includes 70 quasars
COMMENT without published redshifts. These objects show only a single emission
COMMENT line.
