  • HEAO-1 A3 MC LASS Catalog:
    The MC experiment data led to the identification of several hundred optical companions and source classifications. This work produced a 600+ source catalog of LASS/MC sources. The identifications included many previously unknown active coronal type stars, CVs, AGN, and clusters of galaxies. This catalog is available through W3Browse as the HEAO-1 A3 MC LASS Catalog.
