CATALOG OF PARAMETERS FOR MESSIER'S GLOBULAR CLUSTERS extracted from: CATALOG OF PARAMETERS FOR MILKY WAY GLOBULAR CLUSTERS Compiled by William E. Harris, McMaster University This revision: June 22, 1999 This catalog contains basic parameters on distances, velocities, metallicities, luminosities, colors, and dynamical parameters for the 29 globular clusters in Messier's catalogue. The data are presented in three parts, with quantities as defined below. A complete list of source references and an explanation of the quantities, along with their calibration information, is given in the companion bibliography file "mwgc.ref". Both files are accessible through the WorldWideWeb at: http://physun.physics.mcmaster.ca/Globular.html Please acknowledge the use of this catalog in any published work you derive from it. The proper reference to the literature is the paper Harris, W.E. 1996, AJ, 112, 1487 which briefly describes the setup of the catalog. I would also greatly appreciate receiving any new information, in published or preprint form, which would help me keep the list up to date. Please also tell me about published data that I may have missed. Thanks! W. E. Harris (harris@physics.mcmaster.ca) THIS CATALOG IS IN THREE SECTIONS: PART I: Cluster identifications and positions PART II: Integrated magnitudes, colors, morphology parameters PART III: Metallicities, radial velocities, structural parameters Part I: Identifications and Positional Data Key to columns: (1) Cluster identification number (2) Other commonly used cluster name (3,4) Right ascension and declination (epoch 2000) (5,6) Galactic longitude and latitude (degrees) (7) Distance from Sun (kiloparsecs) (8) Distance from Galactic center (kpc), assuming R_0=8.0 kpc (9-11) Distance
