Astronomical Source Catalogues

A miscellany (or dog's breakfast) of astronomical catalogues, most without any accompanying documentation. Caveat emptor!

• ATCA Calibrator Source Catalogue (plain text).

• PKSCAT : Original & complete machine-readable version of Parkes Catalogue
  
• PKSCAT90 : Updated source compilation based on Parkes Catalogue Preamble
  
• PMN : Parkes-MIT-NRAO 5GHz survey (Official Web page at Parkes)
  
• PMN : Parkes-MIT-NRAO 5GHz survey (local copies of Southern source catalogues)
  
• GB6 : GB6: Northern part of PMN survey (Condon et al.), B1950 version, NB: 6MB long!
  
• ATCA catalogue of compact PMN sources, (Tasker, N. Ph.D Thesis)
  
• CATS Database Catalogs and interactive spectrum plotting of sources.
• PTI: Compact sources measured with the PTI (Duncan et al., Proc. ASA, 10,310 (1993)
