KOS    (Kirshner+Oemler+Schechter)= ([KOS78]) 
 Write:<<KOS  HHMMSS.s+DDMMSS>>  

        <<KOS  NPN NNN>>  

        <<KOS  SPN NNN>>
 N:  716
Object:G  (SIMBAD class: Galaxy)
  Note:G in 8 fields in the north and south galactic polar caps:    NP4 to NP7 (North Pole) and SP3 to SP6 (South Pole).    field NP4: N=137.    field NP5: N=101.    field NP6: N=100.    field NP7: N=104.    field SP3: N=78.    field SP4: N=79.    field SP5: N=65.    field SP6: N=52.    In 1978AJ.....83.1549K, the authors don't numbered    the galaxies, so we use a format 'HHMMSS.s+DDMMSS'.    Galaxies have been numbered later from 1 to NNN in each field    (as ordered in 1978AJ.....83.1549K), and in 1988AJ.....95.1629M,    the authors used the second format 'FFN NNN'.    See also KOSS and [KOS87]
