201. DEEP2 Redshift Survey, Data Release 4
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/III/268
Title:
DEEP2 Redshift Survey, Data Release 4
Short Name:
III/268
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This paper describes a new catalog that supplements the existing DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey photometric and spectroscopic catalogs with ugriz photometry from two other surveys: the Canada-France-Hawaii Legacy Survey (CFHTLS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Each catalog is cross-matched by position on the sky in order to assign ugriz photometry to objects in the DEEP2 catalogs. We have recalibrated the CFHTLS photometry where it overlaps DEEP2 in order to provide a more uniform data set. We have also used this improved photometry to predict DEEP2 BRI photometry in regions where only poorer measurements were available previously. In addition, we have included improved astrometry tied to SDSS rather than USNO-A2.0 for all DEEP2 objects. In total this catalog contains ~27, 000 objects with full ugriz photometry as well as robust spectroscopic redshift measurements, 64% of which have r > 23. By combining the secure and accurate redshifts of the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey with ugriz photometry, we have created a catalog that can be used as an excellent testbed for future photo-z studies, including tests of algorithms for surveys such as LSST and DES.
202. de Houtman, Kepler and Halley star catalogs
ID:

Title:
de Houtman, Kepler and Halley star catalogs
Short Name:
J/A+A/530/A93
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
de Houtman in 1603, Kepler in 1627 and Halley in 1679 published the earliest modern catalogues of the southern sky. We provide machine-readable versions of these catalogues, make some comparisons between them, and briefly discuss their accuracy on the basis of comparison with data from the modern Hipparcos Catalogue. We also compare our results for de Houtman with those by Knobel (1917) finding good overall agreement. About half of the about 200 new stars (with respect to Ptolemaios) added by de Houtman are in twelve new constellations, half in old constellations like Centaurus, Lupus and Argo. The right ascensions and declinations given by de Houtman have error distributions with widths of about 40-arcmin, the longitudes and latitudes given by Kepler have error distributions with widths of about 45-arcmin. Halley improves on this by more than an order of magnitude to widths of about 3-arcmin, and all entries in his catalogue can be identified. The measurement errors of Halley are due to a systematic deviation of his sextant (increasing with angle to 2-arcmin at 60-degrees) and random errors of 0.7-arcmin. The position errors in the catalogue of Halley are dominated by the position errors in the reference stars, which he took from Brahe.
203. DENIS catalog of galaxies
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/VII/234
Title:
DENIS catalog of galaxies
Short Name:
VII/234
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a new, extended and improved version of the provisional I-band catalog of DENIS galaxies. Galaxies not cross-identified with already known galaxies have been visually controlled using the DSS1 images and, occasionally, the coordinates were remeasured. The typical accuracy of coordinates is about 2". The typical error on I-band magnitude is about 0.2mag. The final catalog gives the most common names, the J2000 coordinates, the I-band magnitude, the diameter, the axis ratio and the position angle for about 43000 galaxies. It covers roughly 67% of the southern hemisphere. It is homogeneously sampled up to I=14.5 mag. The data are also available via the LEDA database.
204. DENIS galaxies behind the Milky Way

Title:
DENIS galaxies behind the Milky Way
Short Name:
J/A+A/387/1
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
A search has been undertaken at Lyon Observatory to identify, by eye, galaxy candidates at galactic latitudes lower than +/-15 degrees on the DENIS J and K-band images. This paper presents a list of 2028 objects that were serendipitously detected throughout the DENIS survey. Cross-identification with galaxy entries in the LEDA Database has been performed. Comparison with the second release of the 2MASS survey led to a satisfactory agreement of J band magnitudes (std. dev.=0.3mag). The distribution of galaxy candidates along the Galactic Plane shows a concentration near the galactic longitude l=305deg. As a by product of this inspection of J and K images some interesting galactic objects were found (star clusters and nebulae).
205. Deprojecting spiral galaxies method
ID:

Title:
Deprojecting spiral galaxies method
Short Name:
J/A+A/421/595
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We use two new methods developed recently (Barbera et al., 2004, Cat. <J/A+A/415/849>), as well as information obtained from the literature, to calculate the orientation parameters of the spiral galaxies in the Ohio State University Bright Spiral Galaxy Survey (OSUBSGS). We compare the results of these methods with data from the literature, and find in general good agreement. We provide a homogeneous set of mean orientation parameters which can be used to approximately deproject the disks of the galaxies and facilitate a number of statistical studies of galaxy properties.
206. Deprojection of spiral galaxies
ID:

Title:
Deprojection of spiral galaxies
Short Name:
J/A+A/415/849
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present two methods that can be used to deproject spirals, based on Fourier analysis of their images, and discuss their potential and restrictions. Our methods perform particularly well for galaxies more inclined than 50 degrees or for non-barred galaxies more inclined than 35 degrees. They are fast and straightforward to use, and thus ideal for large samples of galaxies. Moreover, they are very robust for low resolutions and thus are appropriate for samples of cosmological interest. The relevant software is available from us upon request. We use these methods to determine the values of the position and inclination angles for a sample of 81 spiral galaxies contained in the Frei et al. (1996AJ....111..174F) sample. We compare our results with the values found in the literature, based on other methods. We find statistically very good agreement.
207. -3.5<=DE<=8.5, 11.5<RA<13.5 redshift survey
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/119/277
Title:
-3.5<=DE<=8.5, 11.5<RA<13.5 redshift survey
Short Name:
J/ApJS/119/277
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We compile 1113 redshifts (648 new measurements, 465 from the literature) for Zwicky catalog galaxies (Cat. <VII/4>) in the region (-3.5{deg}<={delta}<=8.5{deg}, 11.5h<={alpha}<=13.5h). We include redshifts for 114 component objects in 78 Zwicky catalog multiplets. The redshift survey in this region is 99.5% complete to the Zwicky catalog limit, m_Zw_=15.7. It is 99.9% complete to m_Zw_=15.5, the CfA Redshift Survey (CfA2) magnitude limit. The survey region is adjacent to the northern portion of CfA2, overlaps the northernmost slice of the Las Campanas Redshift Survey (Cat. <VII/203>), includes the southern extent of the Virgo Cluster, and is roughly centered on the QSO 3C 273. As in other portions of the Zwicky catalog, bright and faint galaxies trace the same large-scale structure.
208. Detailed morphology of SDSS galaxies

Title:
Detailed morphology of SDSS galaxies
Short Name:
J/ApJS/186/427
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalog of detailed visual classifications for 14034 galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 4 (DR4, Cat. <II/267>). Our sample includes nearly all spectroscopically targeted galaxies in the redshift range 0.01<z<0.1 down to an apparent extinction-corrected limit of g<16mag. In addition to T-Types, we record the existence of bars, rings, lenses, tails, warps, dust lanes, arm flocculence, and multiplicity. This sample defines a comprehensive local galaxy sample which we will use in future papers to study low-redshift morphology. It will also prove useful for calibrating automated galaxy classification algorithms. In this paper, we describe the classification methodology used, detail the systematics and biases of our sample, and summarize the overall statistical properties of the sample, noting the most obvious trends that are relevant for general comparisons of our catalog with previously published work.

Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The final redshift release of the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) is a combined redshift and peculiar velocity survey over the southern sky (|b|>10{deg}). Its 136304 spectra have yielded 110256 new extragalactic redshifts and a new catalogue of 125071 galaxies making near-complete samples with limits in (K, H, J, rF, bJ) (12.65, 12.95, 13.75, 15.60, 16.75). The median redshift of the survey is 0.053. The catalog includes basic data for the galaxies in the 6dFGS with redshifts, using the best 6dFGS redshifts (Q=3 or 4) plus available redshifts from SDSS, 2dFGRS and ZCAT (124647 entries in all). It supersedes the previous DR2 version (Cat. VII/249). The URL of the 6dFGS data base is: http://www-wfau.roe.ac.uk/6dFGS
