A catalog of 1,067,648 quasars is available from Quasars.Org, It is
19 Mb zipped. A ReadMe is provided which gives full details, file layout, and references for the source data. The data is de-duplicated across the source catalogs, and photometry is supplied from APM and USNO-A optical data. Sample data is available for quick browsing on the web page. Get it at: http://quasars.org/milliquas.htm QUASARS.ORG. There is no second place. Eric Flesch |

And none at all, I suppose, in some regions of the sky. ;( |

And none at all, I suppose, in some regions of the sky. ;( There is at least cursory coverage in all places except for the Zone of Avoidance, i.e. plane of the Galaxy. But you require homogeneous coverage for any sort of statistical analysis, and a catalog which (like this one) is a compendium of catalogs is particularly ill-suited for that kind of work. Some surveys are done with the express purpose of obtaining sufficiently homogeneous data to attempt valid analysis. My million-quasars catalog is primarily suited as a body of reference so that sky searchers will know what work has already been done. cheers, Eric Flesch |
