Description
File flanking.dat contains Unpublished Catalogue of Galaxies identified by the DEEP Team in the Flanking Fields. This is the source catalogue that Vogt et al. (1997ApJ...479L.121V), Phillips et al. (1997ApJ...489..543P), Guzman et al. (1997ApJ...489..559G), and Mendez & Guzman (1998A&A...333..106M) used to select objects. The photometry in this catalogue was carried out using circular apertures of 3 arcsec diameter, as described by Phillips et al. (1997ApJ...489..543P). These will present small differences (~0.12mag, rms) relative to published values for the sample of 51 compact galaxies that were analysed by Phillips et al. (1997ApJ...489..543P) and Guzman et al. (1997ApJ...489..559G). This is because for the papers, the I(814) magnitudes were recalculated using elliptical apertures to 8 arcsec. The differences should only be significant in the case of galaxies with larger apparent sizes or with elongated shapes.
