Abstract
      The ABELL database contains information from a catalog of clusters of galaxies, each having at least 30 members within the magnitude range m3 to m3+2 (m3 is the magnitude of the third brightest cluster member) and each with a nominal redshift less than 0.2. The database contains the revised Northern Abell catalog, the Southern Abell catalog, and the Supplementary Southern Abell catalog; the catalogs are published as tables 3, 4 and 5 of Abell, Corwin & Orowin (1989). This database table was created by J. Osborne of Leicester from the STADAT SCAR file abelb.dat. The original SCAR version was created by Diana Parsons on 12 March 1990. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
