Scientific paper

A nomenclature designation scheme for astronomical radiation sources, adopted by the IAU in Resolutions C3 and C12 on Astronomical Designations and Radio Source Nomenclature, is discussed. The proposed scheme is of the form: DDDD Errrrrrr + or - rrrrrrr (NNNNN) sssss, in which DDD represents the detection technique, observatory or observer(s) name(s); E is the code for the standard epoch and type of coordinate; NNNNN is the source or association name; and sssss are further specifiers, as needed. The first two designations are mandatory and the last two are optional. Other methods and schemes are also considered.
