List of Abell clusters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Abell catalogue is an almost complete catalogue of approximately 4000 galaxy clusters with at least 30 members to a redshift of z = 0.2. It was originally compiled by George Abell in 1958 using the plates of POSS, and extended to the southern hemisphere by Abell, Corwin and Olowin in 1987.
