the data files. (Please note that the ADC data viewer does not currently work 
with FITS files or datasets that don't have standard documents. The viewer has 
not been tested against all possible data files. It may not work for some or all

VII/103     Galactic Globular Clusters (Monella 1985)
================================================================================
Catalogue of Galactic Globular Clusters
    Monella R.
    <Coelum LIII, 287 (1985)>
================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Clusters, globular 

Description:
   The catalogue collects, for the first time, the most important data 
   concerning all the galactic globular clusters still well known. 
   Here the objects enclosed in famous publications like the ones of Arp 
   (1965), Alter et al. (1970), Alcaino (1973) are reported,
   with the addition of new clusters noticed recently (TER, ESO, UKS, TJ)
   and till KOD 1, found by K. Kodaira in July 1983 (IAUC 3846).
   The most important disposable data in literature have been found about 
   every object. For the clusters found recently, the data may be 
   fragmentary and susceptible of variations. A particular care has been 
   utilized in the research of the most reliable informations and data, 
  that have been homogenized and put in order later on.
