SMC&BridgeClustersCatalog
This is the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and Inter-Magellanic Cloud ('Bridge') portion of the 'Revised and Extended Catalog of Magellanic System Clusters, Associations, and Emission Nebulae' (Table 2 of Bica and Schmitt 1995). A survey of extended objects in the SMC and Bridge was carried out on the ESO/SERC R and J Sky Survey Atlases and 1188 such objects were identified, including 544 classified as star clusters, 343 as emissionless associations, and 291 as emission nebulae. Only those objects which could be detected on the ESO/SERC Schmidt films as non-stellar (typically larger than 15 arcseconds) are included in this catalog, note. The catalog also includes cross-identifications with previous catalogs, and 284 newly identified objects. Accurate positions, classification, homogeneous sizes, and position angles are provided, as well as information on cluster pairs and hierarchical relations for superimposed objects. This database table was created by the HEASARC in February 1998 based on a computer readable version of the catalog that was obtained from the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/101/41">CDS catalog J/ApJS/101/41</a>. Additional information for the help documentation was obtained from the published version of this catalog (Bica and Schmitt 1995). This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
