Description:
This document describes a computer version of that part of the CGCG
(Zwicky et al. 1961-68) containing all the alphanumeric information
for galaxies.
All known errors found by Zwicky and many others are corrected as
well as erroneous quotations from other catalogs (Shapley & Ames 1932,
Bigay 1951, Pettit 1954, Humason et al. 1956, Holmberg 1958). It is an
illusion to consider all the errors are found. There are some
misprints even in the most extended list of misprints (Paturel et al.
1991).
We have compiled two files: zg_ori.dat and zg_add.dat. The first
one contains the original information from CGCG for galaxies. The
second one contains the data from above mentioned other catalogs given
in CGCG.
We have made no attempts to supply the catalog with any new
information.
A detailed comparison with the machine-readable version of Zwicky
galaxies prepared by R.S. Hill (NSSDC ADC #7049 or CDS VII/49) was
performed. Our version contains more data on individual galaxies -
designation, description, magnitudes, velocity. All galaxies in the Coma
center are included. However Hill's version contains data for Zwicky
fields, Palomar Sky Survey plate number as well as Mead-Luyten-Palomar
number.
There are 27837 different galaxies and 29418 entries in CGCG.

Note on ZG:
Sequential number of Zwicky galaxies sorted by RA.
We have followed the appropriate convention - for objects with the same
RA the Dec is ascending (note that the distributed ADC catalog (ADC
#7049 or CDS VII/49) does not correspond to the original ordering of
objects in the fields F2 to F23 and F25).
The coordinates of galaxies in the Coma cluster center are given
with usual accuracy as for other galaxies.
Note on Name:
If the column width for Name is not sufficient, then a sign '+' is
put and the continuation is in the Notes column.
Note on Notes:
In principle all Zwicky descriptions are kept but several abbreviations
are used:
c - compact p - peculiar
dneb - double nebula qneb - quadruple nebula
dsys - double system qsys - quadruple system
g(s) - galaxy(-ies) S(s) - spiral(s)
I - irregular sys - system
msys - multiple system tsys - triple system
Note on Field1:
The polar fields are 370A and 370B. The additional regions for fields
196 and 298 are denoted as 196A and 298A. Most of galaxies in these
fields are contained in other fields too.
The appropriate designation of galaxies in the CGCG is according to the
Field number and consequent number of the galaxy in this field.
Generally, it is fulfilled for all fields with following exceptions:
There are four galaxies inserted, with the same number as the previous
ones but with suffix 'E' not to change the ordering in the published
CGCG:
F39-130E (ZG 12383=1118.6+0328), between F39-130 and 131,
F41-53E (ZG 14486=1212.7+0602),
F70-135E (ZG 15206=1228.0+1246),
F126-8E (ZG 12073=1110.8+2226).
We follow the wrong ordering for objects F42-72, 73, 74 (misprint in RA
for object F42-72), as well as for F42-79, 80 (misprint in RA of F42-79)
and F385-127, 128 (wrong original ordering). (Declinations of objects
ZG 7786 (F264-34/NGC 2694) and ZG 7787 (F264-35/NGC 2693) are misprinted
in the CGCG (as well as in the ADC version), but it does not change the
ordering).

Note on m_ZG:
Note that zg_add.dat contains some objects with the same Zwicky number
with A and B. These are ZG 447A, ZG 2180A and B, ZG 6227A, Z8448A and B,
ZG 20607A which are components according to other authors.
Notes on tP:
The type for ZG 16032 according to the catalog of Pettit (1954) is longer
and there is a sign '+' which means that the type continues in Notes of
the file zg_ori.dat.
Notes on tHMS:
The type for ZG 20230 according to Humason et al. (1956) is longer and
there is a sign '+' which means that the type continues in Notes of the
file zg_ori.dat.
