Talk:3C 288

Requested move

QSO B1336+391 → 3C 288 — This is name is more used in google scholar, is the designation from a well known catalog, and this isn't a quasar according to SIMBAD, so shouldn't be named using the quasar naming method. — 76.66.195.159 (talk) 10:40, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Issues

reference used is NED (using this name), but NED refuses to spit out any results using this name, so the reference is clearly false. This claims to be the first quasar discovered, but it isn't. SIMBAD says that it should be classed as a radio galaxy. Google scholar refuses to spit out any results for this name. Many hits result from the listed alternate name 3C 288. He claims that it's so close as to be in our galaxy and relatively slow moving... which is clearly wrong.

NED works just fine. Have you tried clicking By Name then entering the object name in the "Input Parameter" called "Object Name:", and then pressing the button Submit Query? ... said: Rursus (^mbork³) 19:31, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
