VeronCatalogofQuasars&AGN,13thEdition
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
This database table contains the 13th edition of the Catalog of Quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei by Veron-Cetty and Veron, and is an update of the previous versions.
Description
As in the previous editions, no information about absorption lines or X-ray properties is given, but absolute magnitides are provided, assuming a Hubble constant H<sub>0</sub> = 71 km/s/Mpc and a deceleration parameter q<sub>0</sub> = 0 (notice the change of cosmology from previous editions in which H<sub>0</sub> was assumed to be 50 km/s/Mpc).
The present edition of this catalog contains 133336 quasars, 1374 BL Lac objects and 34231 active galaxies (including 15627 Seyfert 1 galaxies), for a grand total of 168941 objects, significantly more than the number of objects listed in the 12th edition (108080). The 13th edition includes positions and redshifts, as well as photometry (U, B, and V) and 6-cm and 20-cm flux densities, when available. 178 objects once proposed but now rejected as quasars are NOT included in the online version of this catalog: their names and positions are listed in the file <a href="cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/258/reject.dat">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/258/reject.dat</a>.

This HEASARC table also does NOT contain the additional information on gravitationally lensed quasars and quasar pairs listed in Tables 3 and 4 of the published paper: these tables are available in electronic form at the CDS <a href="cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/248/">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/248/</a> files table2.dat and table3.dat (sic). The present edition of this catalog contains quasars with measured redshift known prior to July 1st, 2009.
This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in April 2010 based on machine-readable tables obtained from the CDS (their catalog VII/258, files qso.dat, bllac.dat, and agn.dat). It was last updated in June 2012 to tweak some class values. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
