For The Professional Or The Amateur, A Treasury Of Diverse Celestial Objects
An extraordinary and beautiful publication, this register of southern hemisphere galaxies surpasses Arp's 1966 compendium of northern objects in scope, detail, and variety. The plates, prints of black and white negatives from the U.K. Schmidt Telescope in Australia, inspire deep curiosity and evoke stunning beauty. Though presented without adornment in the plain style of an academic list, the images quicken a sense of the sacred, while also testifying to which strains of cosmological theory will endure. For example, do these pictures reveal evidences of galactic mergers and cannibalisms, or of galactic births and extended families?

The heart of Volume I ("Positions and Descriptions") is the full list with astronomical coordinates of 6445 galaxies and associations which Arp and Madore identified from 537 plates of the southern hemisphere during 8 years of research. Of greater interest to the non-specialist, though, Volume I also contains extended discussions of the categories which are used to classify the galaxies, and an informative Preface and Introduction which provide interesting background for Volume II.

Volume II ("Selected Photographs") contains 998 photographic negatives of representative members of each category, especially the spectacular examples. A visual feast, it also features addeddescriptions of the categories.This volume by itself is self-explanatory, and when purchased alone, suffices for the non-specialist.

I remember discovering the original 1966 Catalogue in the stacks of my college library. I spent hours and hours pondering its pages, astonished by its richness and inexplicability in terms of then-current theory. This 1987 catalog follows the organization of that first catalog, while improving upon the categories and illustrating them with yet more wondrous images of unorthodox-looking galaxies and the fields of objects surrounding them. These associations, in fact, held the keys to understanding galactic formation and to gaining a more accurate picture of the universe, Arp believed. Time will tell, I believe, that Arp was right, and that together with a select group of scientists, he has long been at the forefront of work that is leading to the most encompassing theory of cosmology yet developed. These catalogs are the mesmerizing record of that early work. They are, in relation to whatever new model which eventually will supplant the Big Bang theory (the Electric Universe model, most likely), perhaps what Galileo's Sidereus Nuncius is to the Copernican Revolution.

More affordable and accessible than the 1966 Catalogue, this southern catalog is a must-have for the collector.
