Description
This is a revised catalog of spiral winding direction of SDSS spiral galaxies published by Shamir (2017PASA...34...11S). Whether the spiral pattern as projected on the sky is S-wise or Z-wise (Shamir called them counter clock wise and clockwise, respectively) can be an unambiguous tool to identify whether the galaxy spin vector is pointing toward or away from us as all the spirals are safely regarded as trailing spirals (Iye et al., 2019ApJ...886..113S). We used Shamir's catalog to analyze the dipole anisotropy in their large-scale structure and found that there exist rather massive duplicated entries and a few other minor errors in the original catalog. In this revised version those duplicated entries are cleaned keeping the judgment of the spiral winding direction due to Shamir (2017PASA...34...11S) except for a several obviously inconsistent cases. These corrections were necessary to make analysis of the large scale distribution of spin vectors of galaxies of the SDSS sample in our paper.
