[edit] Notes on Karachentsev names

Karachentsev uses some names that are unconventional by astronomy standards. I have attempted to replace these names with more common catalog names when appropriate. In some cases, Karachentsev's designations are the only ones attached to the objects, so they should be used.

Notes on looking up specific desginations in the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED):

  • Objects labeled with "KK" may be found in NED using "[KK98]".
  • Objects labeled with "KKs" may be found in NED using "[KK2000]".
  • "Cen 7" may be found in NED using "[CFC97] CEN 7".

For example, a search on "KKs 55" in NED should be done using "[KK2000] 55".
