The Abell catalog is a comprehensive list of galaxy clusters, created by astronomer George O. Abell in 1958. It includes over 4,000 clusters, which are groups of galaxies bound together by gravity. The catalog is valuable for studying the large-scale structure of the universe and understanding the distribution of matter in space. Each entry in the Abell catalog is identified by a unique number and provides information about the cluster's position, richness, and redshift. The catalog has been widely used in astrophysics and cosmology, contributing to research on dark matter, galaxy formation, and the evolution of the universe.
