Guide to NED Literature Search Results

(Latest Revision: 8 May 2009)

This page displays the references in NED's Database, or their abstracts when available. When an abstract is available in NED, the information displayed includes:

  • The reference code and a search link, showing the number of NED objects in the reference, to retrieve those objects [note that several large catalogues (e.g. 2MASS, MAPS-NGP, APMUKS) included in NED do not have these links; these can be recognized by the message "Retrieve n NED object(s) in this reference", where "n" is a small number, typically 1 or 2],
  • the title and authors of the paper,
  • followed by the abstract itself,
  • and a link to the ADS Abstract Service.

If no abstract is available in NED, the following information is shown:

  • The reference code and a search link, showing the number of NED objects in the reference, to retrieve those objects,
  • the decoded reference including the journal title, year, volume, and page numbers,
  • the authors and title of the article,
  • and a link to the ADS Abstract Service.
