LAWDS (Lick-Arizona White Dwarf Survey)
Write:<<LAWDS NGC NNNN NNN>>
<<LAWDS IC NNNN NNN>>
Object:WD  (SIMBAD class: WhiteDwarf = White Dwarf)
Note:The Lick-Arizona White Dwarf survey is a search for white dwarfs in open star clusters. Photometry is used to detect candidates, and follow-up spectroscopy is used to confirm if an object is a white dwarf and if it is a member of the open cluster. Our proposed nomenclature contains a field identifier (just a shortened version of the cluster name, such as 6633 for NGC 6633 and 4665 for IC 4665) and a running object number.
