The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (NGC) is an astronomical catalogue compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888. It contains 7,840 deep-sky objects and is one of the most comprehensive catalogs of its kind. The NGC expanded upon previous catalogs and remains a fundamental reference for astronomers today.

Data Sources

Objects are numbered NGC 1 through NGC 7840. Many objects have been reclassified or found to be duplicate entries since the original catalog was published.

資料來源

Deep sky object data comes from the OpenNGC database by Mattia Verga. Coordinates, magnitudes, and object classifications are sourced from authoritative astronomical catalogs including NGC, IC, Messier, and Caldwell. Source repository: OpenNGC database

測光系統

V-band (Visual): Johnson V 濾鏡的中心波長約為 550nm(黃綠光),對應人眼靈敏度的峰值。這是標準的天文星等系統。

B-band (Blue): Johnson B 濾鏡的中心波長約為 440nm(藍光)。在沒有 V 星等時使用。

星等尺度

天文星等尺度是對數式的。每一級星等代表約 2.512 倍的亮度比。將星等差與亮度比關聯起來的公式為:

\[m_1 - m_2 = -2.5 \times \log_{10}\left(\frac{F_1}{F_2}\right)\]

其中 m 為星等,F 為通量。星等越低 = 天體越亮。

色指數(B-V)

B-V 色指數表示天體的顏色與溫度:

\[B - V = m_B - m_V\]

Typical values: blue objects have negative B-V, white objects are near 0, yellow objects are near 0.6, and red objects are above 1.0. Reference: 色彩轉換

星等表示法

每個星等值都以 (V) 表示 V 波段或以 (B) 表示 B 波段,以指示所使用的測光系統。

可見度指南:
• 肉眼極限:約 6.0 星等
• 雙筒望遠鏡:~10.0 星等
• 小型望遠鏡(4"):~12.0 星等
• 中型望遠鏡(8"):~14.0 星等

坐標系

Right Ascension (RA): Celestial longitude in hours:minutes:seconds (0h to 24h).

Declination (Dec): Celestial latitude in degrees:arcminutes:arcseconds (-90 to +90 degrees).

所有座標均採用 J2000.0 曆元(2000 年的標準參考框架)。
