It has been nearly 70 years since Dreyer completed his famous NGC and IC compendia of all the 13,000 non-stellar objects known in his time. Since then, the number of these objects known has increased by an order of magnitude, but this knowledge is scattered throughout the astronomical literature in such a way that it 1s nearly inaccessible from a practical standpoint to any individual.The present work is an amalgamation of all known catalogs of non-stellar objects, in a uniform, easily readable form. It is Intended not only for astronomers, but also for scientists and engineers in other fields who have need for rapid access to this basic reference data. The types of objects included are galaxies (including both normal and all specialized types such as interacting, peculiar, dwarf, Seyfert, etc.), clusters of galaxies, nebulae of all kinds (planetary, reflection, emission, absorption, etc.), blue objects, groups of stars (open and globular clusters, associations, rings, chains, etc.), quasi-stellar objects, super-novae and others. The Information given for each object includes name, 1950.0 position, angular diameter in arcseconds, magnitude, description, and original reference. A portion of the work is shown in Figure 1. Approximately 185,000 listings appear in the full master 11st.

The Javalambre Photometric Local Universe Survey (J-PLUS ) is an ongoing 12-band photometric optical survey, observing thousands of square degrees of the Northern Hemisphere from the dedicated JAST/T80 telescope at the Observatorio Astrofísico de Javalambre (OAJ). The T80Cam is a camera with a field of view of 2 deg2 mounted on a telescope with a diameter of 83 cm, and is equipped with a unique system of filters spanning the entire optical range (3500–10 000 Å). This filter system is a combination of broad-, medium-, and narrow-band filters, optimally designed to extract the rest-frame spectral features (the 3700–4000 Å Balmer break region, Hδ, Ca H+K, the G band, and the Mg b and Ca triplets) that are key to characterizing stellar types and delivering a low-resolution photospectrum for each pixel of the observed sky. With a typical depth of AB ∼21.25 mag per band, this filter set thus allows for an unbiased and accurate characterization of the stellar population in our Galaxy, it provides an unprecedented 2D photospectral information for all resolved galaxies in the local Universe, as well as accurate photo-z estimates (at the δ z/(1 + z)∼0.005–0.03 precision level) for moderately bright (up to r ∼ 20 mag) extragalactic sources. While some narrow-band filters are designed for the study of particular emission features ([O II]/λ3727, Hα/λ6563) up to z <  0.017, they also provide well-defined windows for the analysis of other emission lines at higher redshifts. As a result, J-PLUS has the potential to contribute to a wide range of fields in Astrophysics, both in the nearby Universe (Milky Way structure, globular clusters, 2D IFU-like studies, stellar populations of nearby and moderate-redshift galaxies, clusters of galaxies) and at high redshifts (emission-line galaxies at z ≈ 0.77, 2.2, and 4.4, quasi-stellar objects, etc.). With this paper, we release the first ∼1000 deg2 of J-PLUS data, containing about 4.3 million stars and 3.0 million galaxies at r <  21 mag. With a goal of 8500 deg2 for the total J-PLUS footprint, these numbers are expected to rise to about 35 million stars and 24 million galaxies by the end of the survey.

AbstractWe present MIR spectroscopy and photometry obtained with CanariCam on the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio CANARIAS for a sample of 20 nearby, MIR bright and X-ray luminous quasi-stellar objects (QSOs). We find that for the majority of QSOs the MIR emission is unresolved at angular scales ∼0.3 arcsec. We derive the properties of the dusti tori that surround the nucleus based on these observations and find significant differences in the parameters compared with a sample of Seyfert 1 and 2 nuclei. We also find evidence for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) features in the spectra, indicative of star formation, more centrally peaked (on scales of a few hundred pc) than previously believed.

Some methods currently in use for the classification of the optical forms of the ‘compact’ galaxies and quasi-stellar objects are reviewed. It is shown that the category ‘Seyfert Galaxy’ is basically a spectroscopic (rather than a form) classification.An optical form-classification is described which is, in principle, identical with published classification criteria for QSO, N-type, and compact objects. The importance of maintaining rigid form-standards is emphasized.
