Description
This catalogue provides a "best-estimate" of the heliocentric radial velocities of some 13000 galaxies south of Declination 0 degrees. It is based on over 17000 redshift measurements, from over 200 sources, either published or otherwise made public. Aside from redshift references, each entry includes flags as to whether the velocity is from optical or radio observations, or both, as well as an indication of the nature of any optical emission lines. Galaxies with velocities beyond 75000 km/s are not included. All entries have been made interactively, by one person (A.P.F.). The interaction was necessary because different investigators may use different names, quote slightly different positions, and obtain slightly different velocities for the same galaxy. Thus duplicate entries for the same galaxy are avoided (although a few may inevitably be included).
