Astronomy Databases
- NED: NASA/IPAC Extragalactic DatabaseA master list of extragalactic objects. Contains detailed and referenced photometry, position, and redshift data.
- SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)A digital library portal for researchers in Astronomy and Physics, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) under a NASA grant. The main body of data in the ADS consists of bibliographic records and full-text scans of much of the astronomical literature. Provides access and pointers to a wealth of external resources, including electronic articles, data catalogs, and archives.
- SIMBAD Astronomical DatabaseProvides basic data, cross-identifications, bibliography, and measurements for astronomical objects outside the solar system.
