[vsnet-chat 3150] Re: (fwd) ROSAT catalogue prefixes

[Brian Skiff <bas@lowell.edu>]

     This is the sort of thing that one should consult with Francois
Ochsenbein (francois@simbad.u-strasbg.fr) and Suzanne Borde
(borde@dasgal1.obspm.fr) about, since they are the editors of the 
nomenclature dictionary.  The present 1RSX entry doesn't specify the new
faint-source catalogue, so perhaps they could be encouraged to make one
so as to be able to differentiate the two catalogues.

   ...apparently the "faint source" catalogue is regarded merely as a
revision of the original, and no duplicate entries exist(?), and thus no
special acronym is needed.
