rare designator prefixes

(designator prefixes generally used for only a few objects)

These are a number of prefixes used in designators of astronomical objects (e.g., stars or galaxies) that are not commonly seen for large numbers of objects. An IAU initiative offers formalized designation formats with the aim of object-references that are and remain unique and traceable, but designator prefixes actually used for objects are ultimately chosen by those who write or talk about the objects, and they often choose something convenient to write and say, often shortening the prefix. Such seldom-used designator prefixes include:

See also double star designation as well as the full index of Survey/Catalog identifiers.
