451. Catalog of Ultraluminous X-ray sources
ID:

Title:
Catalog of Ultraluminous X-ray sources
Short Name:

Description:
We present a catalogue of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in external galaxies. The aim of this catalogue is to provide easy access to the properties of ULXs, their possible counterparts at other wavelengths (optical, IR, and radio), and their host galaxies. The catalogue contains 229 ULXs reported in the literature until April 2004. Most ULXs are stellar-mass-black hole X-ray binaries, but it is not excluded that some ULXs could be intermediate-mass black holes. A small fraction of the candidate ULXs may be background Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and Supernova Remnants (SNRs). ULXs with luminosity above 10^40^erg/s are found in both starburst galaxies and in the halos of early-type galaxies.

Description:
In this work we present a new catalogue of cosmic filaments obtained from the latest Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) public data. In order to detect filaments, we implement a version of the Subspace-Constrained Mean-Shift algorithm that is boosted by machine learning techniques. This allows us to detect cosmic filaments as one-dimensional maxima in the galaxy density distribution. Our filament catalogue uses the cosmological sample of SDSS, including Data Release 16, and therefore inherits its sky footprint (aside from small border effects) and redshift coverage. In particular, this means that, taking advantage of the quasar sample, our filament reconstruction covers redshifts up to z=2.2, making it one of the deepest filament reconstructions to our knowledge. We follow a tomographic approach and slice the galaxy data in 269 shells at different redshift. The reconstruction algorithm is applied to 2D spherical maps. The catalogue provides the position and uncertainty of each detection for each redshift slice. The quality of our detections, which we assess with several metrics, show improvement with respect to previous public catalogues obtained with similar methods. We also detect a highly significant correlation between our filament catalogue and galaxy cluster catalogues built from microwave observations of the Planck Satellite and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope.

Catalogue of features in the S4G

Description:
A catalogue of the features for the complete Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G), including 2352 nearby galaxies, is presented. The measurements are made using 3.6um images, largely tracing the old stellar population; at this wavelength the effects of dust are also minimal. The measured features are the sizes, ellipticities, and orientations of bars, rings, ringlenses, and lenses. Measured in a similar manner are also barlenses (lens-like structures embedded in the bars), which are not lenses in the usual sense, being rather the more face-on counterparts of the boxy/peanut structures in the edge-on view. In addition, pitch angles of spiral arm segments are measured for those galaxies where they can be reliably traced. More than one pitch angle may appear for a single galaxy. All measurements are made in a human- supervised manner so that attention is paid to each galaxy. We create a catalogue of morphological features in the complete S4G. We used isophotal analysis, unsharp masking, and fitting ellipses to measured structures. We find that the sizes of the inner rings and lenses normalized to barlength correlate with the galaxy mass: the normalized sizes increase toward the less massive galaxies; it has been suggested that this is related to the larger dark matter content in the bar region in these systems. Bars in the low mass galaxies are also less concentrated, likely to be connected to the mass cut-off in the appearance of the nuclear rings and lenses. We also show observational evidence that barlenses indeed form part of the bar, and that a large fraction of the inner lenses in the non-barred galaxies could be former barlenses in which the thin outer bar component has dissolved.

Catalogue of galaxies observed with Hectospec

Description:
We present redshifts for 2753 low-redshift (0.05~<z_spec_~<0.5) galaxies with 18<=r<=22 obtained with Hectospec at the Multi-Mirror Telescope (MMT). The observations targeted the XMM-LSS, ELAIS-N1 and DEEP2-3 fields, each of which covers ~1deg^2^. These fields are also part of the recently completed CFHT Large Area U-band Deep Survey (CLAUDS) and on-going Hyper Suprime-Cam deep fields surveys. The efficiency of our technique for selecting low-redshift galaxies is confirmed by the redshift distribution of our sources. In addition to redshifts, these high S/N spectra are used to measure ages, metallicities, and nuclear activity levels. In combination with the photometric catalogue in u, g, r, i, z, y down to 27 AB mag, we are able to study the galaxy population down to stellar masses of ~10^8^M_{sun}_ . This paper presents the observation strategy, the reduction procedure and properties of the galaxy sample.

Title:
Catalogue of HI maps of galaxies. I.
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
A catalogue is presented of galaxies having large-scale observations in the HI line. This catalogue collects from the literature the information that characterizes the observations in the 21-cm line and the way that these data were presented by means of maps, graphics and tables, for showing the distribution and kinematics of the gas. It contains furthermore a measure of the HI extension that is detected at the level of the maximum sensitivity reached in the observations. This catalogue is intended as a guide for references on the HI maps published in the literature from 1953 to 1995 and is the basis for the analysis of the data presented in Paper II (Cat. <J/A+AS/131/77>).

Catalogue of HI maps of galaxies. II.

Description:
We use some of the maps of the catalogue presented in Paper I (Cat. <J/A+AS/131/73>) to provide some evidence for global conditions that must be fulfilled by the galaxies to have extended hydrogen. For this purpose, we tried to find possible connections between the HI gas extension and other properties of the galaxies (morphological type, surface brightness, gas density, etc.). With isophotal hydrogen diameters of a large sample, we could observe that optically smaller galaxies seem to have greater relative HI extensions. By means of the relation with the apparent HI surface density, we found an expression that should provide a rough estimate of the gas extension. With respect to the dependence on morphological type, we could not find any significant correlation either for the real HI surface density or the relative gas extension. Nevertheless, whereas for spiral and irregular galaxies the real HI surface density exhibits a broad range of values, the values are rather lower for elliptical and S0 galaxies.
458. Catalogue of ISM content of normal galaxies

Title:
Catalogue of ISM content of normal galaxies
Short Name:
J/A+A/405/5
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have compiled a catalogue of the gas content for a sample of 1916 galaxies, considered to be a fair representation of normality. The definition of a normal galaxy adopted in this work implies that we have purposely excluded from the catalogue galaxies having distorted morphology (such as interaction bridges, tails or lopsidedness) and/or any signature of peculiar kinematics (such as polar rings, counterrotating disks or other decoupled components). In contrast, we have included systems hosting active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the catalogue. This catalogue revises previous compendia on the ISM content of galaxies published by Bregman et al. (1992ApJ...387..484B) and Casoli et al. (1998A&A...331..451C), and compiles data available in the literature from several small samples of galaxies. Masses for warm dust, atomic and molecular gas, as well as X-ray luminosities have been converted to a uniform distance scale taken from the Catalogue of Principal Galaxies (PGC). We have used two different normalization factors to explore the variation of the gas content along the Hubble sequence: the blue luminosity (LB) and the square of linear diameter (D_25_^2^). Our catalogue significantly improves the statistics of previous reference catalogues and can be used in future studies to define a template ISM content for normal galaxies along the Hubble sequence.

Title:
Catalogue of Isolated Galaxies
Short Name:
VII/82A

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The catalog of isolated galaxies is defined on the basis of the Palomar Sky Survey. It contains 1051 isolated galaxies with apparent magnitudes brighter than 15.7 and north of declination -3{deg}. Compared to the original version published in 1973 (Comm. Special Astrophys. Obs. of USSR, No. 8), new data about the morphological types, the isolation class, and the radial velocities have been added. The catalog includes running numbers for the galaxies, equatorial coordinates, isolation classes, apparent magnitudes, morphological types, major axes, axial ratios, and radial velocities.

Title:
Catalogue of Markarian Galaxies
Short Name:
VII/61A
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Markarian galaxies have a moderate to strong ultraviolet continuum as detected by an objective-prism survey at Byurakan Observatory from 1965 to 1978. The survey was done with a 40-inch Schmidt telescope with a dispersion of 2500 angstroms/millimeter at H-alpha. The catalog contains no galaxies brighter than mag 13.0 or fainter than mag 17.5. The catalog fields are Markarian Identification number; S(eyfert) or Q(uasar) flag; cross identifications to other catalogs; B1950 positions; major and minor axis (arcsec); magnitude and spectral types, including a code for the strength of the UV continuum. This catalogue is superseded by the First Byurakan Survey (see the "See Also" section below) The original documentation was by Robert S. Hill and Lee E. Brotzman in the "adc.doc" file (From the CD-ROM "Selected Astronomical Catalogs" Vol. 1 (1992), directory "nonstell/galaxies/mkn")
