Overview
This database table is obsolete. Please refer to and use VERONCAT instead.This database table is the 7th edition of the Catalog of Quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei by Veron-Cetty and Veron, and is an update of the previous versions, containing data culled from 1662 references (+176 more than the 6th edition published in 1993). It contains 8609 quasars (+1226 more than the 6th edition), where quasars are defined as objects brighter than an absolute B magnitude of -23), 2833 AGNs (+978 more), where AGNs are defined as objects fainter than absolute B magnitude -23), and 220 BL Lac objects (+49 more). 52 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 Rejected_Quasars section of this help file.

Parameters
Name
The most common name of the object.
App_Mag
The apparent magnitude; the type of magnitude is specified by the parameter
flag_app_mag, but is usually the visual magnitude.
Abs_Mag
The absolute magnitude.
RA
The Right Ascension of the object.
Dec
The Declination of the object.
LII
The galactic longitude of the object.
BII
The galactic latitude of the object.
BV_Color
The (B-V) color of the object, when known.
UB_Color
The (U-B) color of the object, when known.
Redshift
The redshift of the object.
Ref_Redshift
Numerical code of the reference for the redshift.
Flux_6_cm
The flux density at 6 cm (5 GHz) in milliJanskies (mJy).
Ref_Flux_6_cm
Numerical code of the reference for the 6 cm flux density.
Flux_11_cm
The flux density at 11 cm (2.7 GHz) in milliJanskies (mJy).
Ref_Flux_11_cm
Numerical code of the reference for the 11 cm flux density.
Object_Type
A code describing the classification of the object:
S1: Seyfert 1 spectrum
S2: Seyfert 2 spectrum
S3: Seyfert 3 or liner
S?: possibly a Seyfert
H2: nuclear HII region
HP: high optical polarization (>3%)
BL: confirmed BL Lac object
Q : quasar
B?: probable or possible BL Lac object
AG: unspecified type of active galaxy
Default Object_Type values are set for tables 1, 2, and 3 to the following if none are given.
Table 1 = Q : quasar
Table 2 = B?: probable or possible BL Lac object
Table 3 = AG: unspecified type of active galaxy
Ref_App_Mag
Numerical code of the reference for the photometry.
Flag_App_Mag
This flag is 'V' for a visual magnitude, 'P' for a photographic magnitude,
and 'R' for a red magnitude.
Table_Number
The number of the original input table. The table in the
original catalog in which this object was listed:
1 = Table 1. Contains 8609 quasars.
(defined as objects brighter than absolute magnitude of -23)
2 = Table 2. Contains 220 confirmed, probable, or
possible BL Lac objects.
3 = Table 3. Contains 2833 active galaxies.
(defined as objects fainter than absolute magnitude of -23)
Radio_Detect
This flag is "Y" if the object has been detected in the radio and "N" if it
has not been detected in the radio.
Position_Flag
This flag is related to the accuracy and source for the quoted position:
O = optical position with an accuracy better than 1 arcsecond
R = radio position with an accuracy better than 1 arcsecond
A = approximate position
Flag_Redshift
This flag is set to '*' if the red-shift was estimated from a low-dispersion,
slitless spectrum, and is set to '>' if the quoted red-shift is a lower limit.
Ref_Chart
Numerical code of the reference for the finding chart.
Class
BROWSE classification type. The classification is based on the Object_Type
parameter.
