One paper's abstract is useable. Can it be used as a reference but not purchased.

Are you referencing the abstract or the actual paper? Seems if you are using as part of your theory, you should be referencing the actual paper. I suppose it depends on what your ultimate goal for publication is.

No, you can't edit the original post. Too late for that.

Just post your revision next in this thread. Members will still see it. Will also allow the history of the previous discussion to be retained.

One paper's abstract is useable as a reference. Do I need to purchase the entire paper to verify.

That is up to you. An abstract may not have all the info/data to confirm whatever point you are trying to substantiate.

What is the catalogue name for our Milky Way Galaxy. M# or NGC#### I mean what! Best reference I have found is Sgr A* which is a point in space, at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. But it is not a Galaxy!

The Galaxy is simply referred to as "The Galaxy" or "The Milky Way", it does not have a reference in any catalogue of astronomical objects. Sgr A* is not a point in space, it is the SMBH at the heart of the galaxy - not quite the same thing.
