We present a catalogue of surface-brightness profiles (SBPs) of 125 Galactic globular clusters, the largest such collection ever gathered. The SBPs are constructed from generally inhomogeneous data, but are based heavily on the Berkeley Globular Cluster Survey of Djorgovski & King. All but four of the SBPs have photometric zero points. We derive central surface brightnesses, King-model concentrations, core radii, half-light, and other fraction-of-light radii where data permit, and we briefly discuss their use.
The catalogue describes the position, maximum angular diameters, classifications according to form, structure and brightness, and the number of associated stars. The acronym used in the literature to designate objects from this catalogue is Sh 2 (e.g. Sh 2-1 for the first HII region of the catalogue)
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>).
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.
There are given 1064 profiles of the hydrogen lines H{gamma} and H{delta} for 235 B,A,F-stars obtained at the Main Stellar Spectrograph of the 6-m telescope in 1978-1986 in the course of several large observing projects. Optical density close to D=1.0 was reached for all spectra on Kodak IIaO photographic plates. The profiles are presented as smoothed intensity normalized to the level of local continuum for different distances from lines core, in {AA}. The blue and red wings of H{gamma} and H{delta} lines are averaged.
In light of substantial new discoveries of hot subdwarfs by ongoing spectroscopic surveys and the availability of new all-sky data from ground-based photometric surveys and the Gaia mission Data Release 2, we compiled an updated catalogue of the known hot subdwarf stars.
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.
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.
