The Hong Kong/AAO/Strasbourg Halpha (HASH) Planetary Nebula Database [IMA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1612.01521


The Hong Kong/AAO/Strasbourg Halpha (HASH) planetary nebula database is an online research platform providing free and easy access to the largest and most comprehensive catalogue of known Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe) and a repository of observational data (imaging and spectroscopy) for these and related astronomical objects. The main motivation for creating this system is resolving some of long standing problems in the field e.g. problems with mimics and dubious and/or misidentifications, errors in observational data and consolidation of the widely scattered data-sets. This facility allows researchers quick and easy access to the archived and new observational data and creating and sharing of non-redundant PN samples and catalogues.
