    <description>
      The Revised Bologna Catalogue of M 31 globular clusters and candidates (RBC, V.5, August 2012) lists all the confirmed globular clusters (GCs), all the known candidates GCs, and also all the objects that were identified as candidate GCs in the past and were subsequently recognized not to be genuine clusters, each entry being properly classified (GC, candidate GC, foreground star, background galaxy, HII region, etc.). The latter entries are maintained in the catalog to avoid re-discoveries of objects that may look like M 31 GCs and have been already classified as non-GCs. Please take into account the classification flag(s) when you use the RBC. Please acknowledge the use of this catalog. The proper reference is: Galleti S., Federici L., Bellazzini M., Fusi Pecci F., Macrina S. &amp;quot;2MASS NIR photometry for 693 candidate globular clusters in M 31 and the Revised Bologna Catalogue (V.1.0)&amp;quot;, Astron.&amp;amp;Astrophys., 2004, 416, 917 (2004A&amp;amp;A...416..917G) This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2014 based on &amp;lt;a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/V/143"&amp;gt;CDS Catalog V/143&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; file rbc5.dat, Version 5 of the Revised Bologna Catalogue of M 31 globular clusters and candidates.
