- Title:
- Hickson Compact Groups of Galaxies (HCG) Catalog
- Short Name:
- Hickson Group
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The HCG database table is based on the Hickson Catalog, which is a list of 100 compact groups of galaxies that were identified by a systematic search of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey red prints. Each group contains four or more galaxies, has an estimated mean surface brightness brighter than 26.0 magnitude per arcsec<sup>2</sup> and satisfies an isolation criterion. Dynamical parameters which were derived for 92 of the 100 groups are also included in the database. (Note that the Hubble constant was assumed to be Ho = 100 km/s/Mpc.) This database table essentially contains the information given in Table 1 of Hickson, P. (1982, ApJ, 255, 382) and Table 3 of Hickson, P. et al. (1992, ApJ, 399, 353). Consequently, the information on individual galaxies in the Hickson groups that is also given in these references, e.g., in Table 2 of Hickson, P. et al. (1992, ApJ, 399, 353), is not in the HCG database table; however, the latter data can be found in the related HEASARC database table HCGGALAXY. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in August, 1999, based on machine-readable tables obtained from the ADC/CDS data centers (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/213:">CDS catalog VII/213:</a> files groups.dat and dynamics.dat). The HEASARC refined the coordinates, corrected the dynamics_flag values, and updated the table's metadata in August, 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- The HCGGALAXY database table is based on the Hickson Catalog of Compact Groups, and contains data on 463 galaxies in 100 compact groups of galaxies that were identified by a systematic search of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey red prints. Each group contains four or more galaxies, has an estimated mean surface brightness brighter than 26.0 magnitude per arcsec<sup>2</sup> and satisfies an isolation criterion. Astrometry, photometry, and morphological types, derived from CCD images, are presented for the 463 galaxies. Radial velocities are given for 457 of the 463 galaxies: more than 84% of the galaxies measured have radial velocities that are within 1000 km/s of the group median velocity. Morphological information derived from either an isophotal analysis or from a visual inspection of images is given for 210 of the 463 galaxies. This database table essentially contains the information given in Table 2 of Hickson, P. et al. (1989, ApJS, 70, 687), Table 2 of Hickson, P. et al. (1992, ApJ, 399, 353), and Table 2 of Mendes de Oliveira, C. and Hickson, P. (1994, ApJ, 427, 684). Consequently, the information on the properties of the Hickson Compact Groups as units that is also given in some of these references, e.g., in Table 3 of Hickson, P. et al. (1992, ApJ, 399, 353), is not in the HCGGALXY database table; however, the latter data can be found in the related HEASARC database table HCG. This database table was created by the HEASARC in August, 1999, based on machine-readable tables obtained from the ADC/CDS data centers (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/213">CDS catalog VII/213</a>, files galaxies.dat and morpho.dat). The HEASARC added Galactic coordinates and updated the table's metadata in August, 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This bibliographic catalog is created by essentially matching scientific publications archived in the ADS with specific observations archived in the HEASARC. The papers can be refereed, unrefereed, or even arXiv preprints that have already been accepted or initially submitted for publication. Each observation in HEASARC's database tables has an ID parameter and each publication has a unique bibliographic reference code (bibcode), allowing a specific match to be made. The information in this table comes from correspondence from the author. This table is updated automatically shortly after the data is received. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Hipparcos Input Catalog
- Short Name:

- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This database table contains the Hipparcos Input Main Cataloge of 118209 stars. The Hipparcos Input Catalogue was constructed as the observing program for the European Space Agency's Hipparcos astrometry mission. The requirements of the project in terms of completeness, sky coverage, astrometric and photometric accuracy, as well as the necessary optimization of the scientific impact, resulted in an extended effort to compile and homogenize existing data, to clarify sources and identifications, and, where needed, to collect new data matching the required accuracy. This has resulted in an unprecedented catalog of stellar data including up-to-date information of positions, proper motions, magnitudes and colors, and (wherever available) spectral types, radial velocities, multiplicity and variability information. The catalog is complete to well-defined magnitude limits and includes a substantial sampling of the most important stellar categories present in the solar neighborhood beyond these limits. The magnitudes vary from 7.3 to 9 mag as a function of galactic latitude and spectral type, and there are no stars fainter than about V=13 mag. The 118209 stars of the Hipparcos Input Catalogue were selected from some 214000 distinct candidates contained in some 214 observations programs. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues are the primary products of the European Space Agency's astrometric mission, Hipparcos. The satellite, which operated for four years, returned high quality scientific data from November 1989 to March 1993. Each of the catalogues contains a large quantity of very high quality astrometric and photometric data. In addition there are associated annexes featuring variability and double/multiple star data, and solar system astrometric and photometric measurements. In the case of the Hipparcos Catalogue, the principal parts are provided in both printed and machine-readable form (on CDROM). In the case of the Tycho Catalogue, results are provided in machine-readable form only (on CDROM). Although in general only the final reduced and calibrated astrometric and photometric data are provided, some auxiliary files containing results from intermediate stages of the data processing, of relevance for the more-specialised user, have also been retained for publication. (Some, but not all, data files are available from the Centre de Donnees astronomiques de Strasbourg.) The global data analysis tasks, proceeding from nearly 1000 Gbit of raw satellite data to the final catalogues, was a lengthy and complex process, and was undertaken by the NDAC and FAST Consortia, together responsible for the production of the Hipparcos Catalogue, and the Tycho Consortium, responsible for the production of the Tycho Catalogue. A fourth scientific consortium, the INCA Consortium, was responsible for the construction of the Hipparcos observing programme, compiling the best-available data for the selected stars before launch into the Hipparcos Input Catalogue. The production of the Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues marks the formal end of the involvement in the mission by the European Space Agency and the four scientific consortia. For much more information about this catalog, such as fuller descriptions of the parameters, the user is urged to check the Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogs website at <a href="https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/hipparcos/catalogues">https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/hipparcos/catalogues</a>. This database table was created by the HEASARC in April 2000 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/I/239">CDS Catalog I/239</a> file hip_main.dat.gz, the Hipparcos Main Catalog. It was updated in October 2002 to fix some entries which were missing coordinates. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Hipparcos New Astrometric Catalog

- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- A new reduction of the astrometric data as produced by the Hipparcos mission has been published, claiming accuracies for nearly all stars brighter than Hipparcos magnitude H_p = 8 to be better, by up to a factor 4, than in the original catalog. The new Hipparcos astrometric catalog has been checked for the quality of the data and the consistency of the formal errors as well as the possible presence of error correlations. The differences with the earlier publication of the Hipparcos Catalog are explained in the reference paper. The internal errors are followed through the reduction process, and the external errors are investigated on the basis of a comparison with radio observations of a small selection of stars, and the distribution of negative parallaxes. Error correlation levels are investigated and the reduction by more than a factor 10 as obtained in the new catalog is explained. The formal errors on the parallaxes for the new catalog are confirmed. The presence of a small amount of additional noise, though unlikely, cannot be ruled out. The new reduction of the Hipparcos astrometric data provides an improvement by a factor 2.2 in the total weight compared to the Hipparcos catalog published in 1997, and, according to the author, provides much improved data for a wide range of studies on stellar luminosities and local galactic kinematics. Note that this catalog version is slightly different from the one published in the book, as an error that sometimes affected the goodness of fit value for the solution was corrected. The first version of these data archived at the CDS (between June and 15 September 2008) also contained errors which were corrected after this date. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2009 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/I/311">CDS Catalog I/311</a> file hip2.dat, "the Astrometric Catalogue".
