Catalogue of Dark Nebulae.
Abstract
A catalogue of dark nebulae has been compiled from a study of the red and blue prints of the National Geographic-Palomar Observatory Sky Atlas. The catalogue contains positions, both equatorial and galactic, for the centers of the clouds, values of their sizes in square degrees, and estimates of their opacities. Total areas obscured by clouds are tabulated as a function of latitude, and average sizes and distribution of the dark nebulae are given.

“Lynds (1962) provided the mostly widely used catalog of “dark clouds” based on star counts, up to AV ∼ 6 mag, at which point the clouds were effectively opaque at visible wavelengths.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
