- Description:
- The photoelectric total magnitudes and color indices published in the Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies (RC3, Cat. <VII/155>) are based on an analysis of ~26000 B, 25000 B-V, and 17000 U-B multiaperture measurements available up to mid 1987 from nearly 350 sources. This paper provides the full details of the analysis and estimates of internal and external errors in the parameters. The derivation of the parameters is based on techniques described by de Vaucouleurs & Corwin (1977ApJS...33..219D) whereby photoelectric multiaperture data are fitted by mean Hubble-type-dependent curves which describe the integral of the B-band flux and the typical B-V and U-B integrated color gradients. A sophisticated analysis of the residuals of these measurements from the curves was made to allow for the random and systematic errors that affect such data. The result is a homogeneous set of total magnitudes B^A^_T_, total colors (B-V)_T_ and (U-B)_T_, and effective colors (B-V)_e_ and (U-B)_e_ for more than 3000 bright galaxies in RC3.

- Description:
- Galaxies are the most massive, luminous astronomical objects bound by self gravity and comprise the major fraction of luminous mass in the universe. Recent investigations of galaxies often require statistical analysis of a large body of observational data. High degree of homogeneity of the data is the key point to the success of such investigations. This catalog presents homogeneous photometric parameters of 791 northern bright galaxies on the basis of modern photographic surface photometry. Sample galaxies are taken from the Revised Shapley-Ames Catalog of Bright Galaxies (Sandage and Tammann 1981) and most of them are members of the Local Super-cluster. Observations were made with the 105cm Schmidt telescope at the Kiso Observatory, Institute of Astronomy, University of Tokyo, in the photographic V band (Kodak IIa-D emulsion combined with a Schott GG 495 filter) mostly during 1984-1988. Sample galaxies photographed on a total of 280 Schmidt plates were scanned with the PDS 2020 GMS microdensitometer at the Kiso Observatory during April-August 1988. Data reduction for standard surface photometry was carried out using a software library SPIRAL (Ichikawa et al. 1987; Okamura 1988) during July-September 1988. The intensive plate measurement and data reduction secure high homogeneity of the present data. This catalog is the first machine-readable version (Ver.1) of Part II (The Catalog) of the 'Photometric Atlas of Northern Bright Galaxies' (Kodaira et al. 1990), which also includes in Part III illustrative information such as images, isophotal maps, luminosity profiles, and ellipses fitted to the isophotes. Image data of sample galaxies can be obtained in FITS format magnetic tapes upon request, and it is planned to distribute them on CD-ROMs. We request that those errors in this catalog that are found by the user be transmitted to S. Ichikawa, National Astronomical Observatory, Mitaka, Tokyo 181 Japan (e-mail : richika@c1.mtk.nao.ac.jp) so that they can be corrected in future versions.

- Description:
- We present an analysis of deep multiwavelength data for z~0.3-3 starburst galaxies selected by their 70um emission in the Extended-Chandra Deep Field-South and Extended Groth Strip. We identify active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in these infrared sources through their X-ray emission and quantify the fraction that host an AGN. Lastly, we investigate the ratio between the supermassive black hole accretion rate (inferred from the AGN X-ray luminosity) and the bulge growth rate of the host galaxy (approximated as the SFR) and find that, for sources with detected AGNs and star formation (and neglecting systems with low star formation rates to which our data are insensitive), this ratio in distant starbursts agrees well with that expected from the local scaling relation assuming the black holes and bulges grew at the same epoch. These results imply that black holes and bulges grow together during periods of vigorous star formation and AGN activity.

- Description:
- We perform a detailed photometric analysis (bulge-disc-bar decomposition and Concentration-Asymmetry-Clumpiness (CAS) parametrization) for a well-defined sample of isolated galaxies, extracted from the Catalog of Isolated Galaxies and reevaluated morphologically in the context of the Analysis of the interstellar Medium of Isolated GAlaxies project. We focus on Sb-Sc morphological types, as they are the most representative population among the isolated spiral galaxies. Our analysis yields a large number of important galactic parameters and various correlation plots are used to seek relationships that might shed light on the processes involved in determining those parameters. Assuming that the bulge Sersic index and/or bulge/total luminosity ratios are reasonable diagnostics for pseudo- versus classical bulges, we conclude that the majority of late-type isolated disc galaxies likely host pseudo-bulges rather than classical bulges.

- Description:
- We present a nonparametric method for decomposition of the light of disk galaxies into disk, bulge, and bar components. We have developed and tested the method on a sample of 68 disk galaxies for which we have acquired I-band photometry. The separation of disk and bar light relies on the single assumption that the bar is a straight feature with a different ellipticity and position angle from that of the projected disk. Here we present the basic method, but we recognize that it can be significantly refined.

- Description:
- We have conducted the largest systematic search so far for stellar disk truncations in disklike galaxies at intermediate redshift (z<1.1), using the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey-South (GOODS-S) data from the Hubble Space Telescope ACS. Focusing on type II galaxies (i.e., downbending profiles), we explore whether the position of the break in the rest-frame B-band radial surface brightness profile (a direct estimator of the extent of the disk where most of the massive star formation is taking place) evolves with time. The number of galaxies under analysis (238 of a total of 505) is an order of magnitude larger than in previous studies. For the first time, we probe the evolution of the break radius for a given stellar mass (a parameter well suited to address evolutionary studies). We have explored the distribution of the scale lengths of the disks in the region inside the break and how this parameter relates to the break radius. We also present results of the statistical analysis of profiles of artificial galaxies, to assess the reliability of our results.

- Description:
- We present new information on galaxies in the vicinity of luminous radio galaxies (RGs) and quasars at z~4, 5, and 6. These fields were previously found to contain overdensities of Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) or spectroscopic Ly{alpha} emitters (LAEs), which were interpreted as evidence for clusters-in-formation ("protoclusters"). We use Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer data to infer stellar masses from stellar synthesis models calibrated against the Millennium Run simulations, and contrast our results with large samples of LBGs in more average environments as probed by the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS).

- Description:
- The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS, Cat. <J/ApJS/157/1>) provides a large and deep photometric catalog of galaxies in the z' and R_c_ bands for 90{deg}^2^ of sky, and supplemental V and B data have been obtained for 33.6{deg}^2^. We compile a photometric redshift catalog from these four-band data by utilizing the empirical quadratic polynomial photometric redshift fitting technique in combination with CNOC2 and GOODS/HDF-N redshift data. The training set includes 4924 spectral redshifts. The resulting catalog contains more than one million galaxies with photometric redshifts <1.5 and R_c_<24, giving an rms scatter {sigma}({Delta}z)<0.06 within the redshift range 0.2<z<0.5 and {sigma}({Delta}z)<0.11 for galaxies at 0.0<z<1.5.
