AS160n

AS160n refers to a specific astronomical designation for a celestial object. The 'AS' prefix often indicates objects cataloged by the Asiago Observatory, and the '160' is a sequential number within that catalog. The 'n' suffix can sometimes denote a particular characteristic or subtype of the object, although its precise meaning can vary depending on the specific catalog and epoch. Without further context on the particular catalog in which AS160n is listed, it is difficult to provide more specific details about its nature. These designations are typically used by astronomers to efficiently reference and track individual objects within vast astronomical surveys. Such catalog entries are crucial for organizing observations and research efforts across different institutions and research groups. The purpose of these catalogs is to provide a standardized naming convention for the sky.
