Shapley-Ames Catalog
(SAC, Shapley-Ames Catalog of Bright Galaxies)
(1932 catalog of contemporary data on 1249 galaxies)
The Shapley-Ames Catalog
(Shapley-Ames Catalog of Bright Galaxies, SAC) is a 1932
catalog of nearby galaxies listed in the
New General Catalogue (NGC) or the Index Catalog (IC),
the SAC incorporating newer data.
Subsequent catalogs since have further-expanded the list and further-updated
the data, among them, the Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies (and its revisions)
and the Revised Shapley-Ames Catalog (RSA) of 1981.
