Description
The catalog (files zcat.dat and zbig.dat) incorporates much of the latest velocity data from the Whipple Observatory and other sources as well as velocities from earlier compilations such as the Second Reference Catalogue of de Vaucouleurs, de Vaucouleurs, and Corwin; the Index of Galaxy Spectra of Gisler and Friel, and the Catalogue of Radial Velocities of Galaxies of Palumbo, Tanzella-Nitti, and Vettolani. The data included here are BT magnitudes and a few UGC numbers with increased "accuracy" in the velocity source information. The following separate tables contain selected objects from the CfA Redshift Survey: - the first CfA Redsdhift Survey (Huchra et al., 1983ApJS...52...89H); this catalogue contains 2395 galaxies, a number slightly smaller than the published number of 2399, since there have been small corrections to the magnitudes for multiple galaxies. This version has had new morphological types added by me as well as POSS diameters measured for those galaxies that were not in the UGC or did not have UGC diameters. - the first slice of the second CfA redshift survey (Huchra et al., 1990ApJS...72..433H) - the second slice of the CfA redshift survey (Huchra et al., 1995ApJS...99..391H) See the complete description in 'zcom.tex' (in plain TeX), or zcom.txt (plain ascii)
