NED Sample Name Information (MicroDB)

NOTE: The purpose of this listing is only to define the meaning and origin of the abbreviations and acronyms used to identify the various galaxy samples and sky surveys contained in NED.
As such, this list represents only a small fraction of the tens of thousands of journal articles and catalogs from which data have been incorporated into NED using the sample (or survey or catalog) name prefixes identified here.
See the NED homepage for summary statistics about the database holdings.
