- Description:
- We present one of the largest homogeneous sets of spiral and lenticular galaxy brightness profile decompositions completed to date. The 659 galaxies in our sample have been fitted with a de Vaucouleurs law for the bulge component and an inner-truncated exponential for the disk component. Of the 659 galaxies in the sample, 620 were successfully fitted with the chosen fitting functions. The fits are generally well defined, with more than 90% having rms deviations from the observed profile of less than 0.35mag. We find no correlations of fitting quality, as measured by these rms residuals, with either morphological type or inclination. Similarly, the estimated errors of the fitted coefficients show no significant trends with type or inclination. These decompositions form a useful basis for the study of the light distributions of spiral and lenticular galaxies. The object base is sufficiently large that well-defined samples of galaxies can be selected from it.

- Description:
- Rotation curves have been obtained for 76 spiral galaxies in pairs, including a geometrically selected subset from the Karachentsev catalog and a set of Seyfert galaxies with close companions. Derived parameters of the rotation curves and the galaxies' light distributions are also presented. The rotation curves are classified broadly by shape, with special emphasis on kinematic disturbances and regions of solid-body behavior that may lead to bar development. Broadband images of the galaxies allow assessments of their degree of symmetry or disturbance. These velocity slices afford an empirical basis for evaluating the accuracy of radial velocity measures for spiral galaxies in pairs, and the dynamically important radial velocity differences. Specifically, the disagreement among several plausible ways of estimating the central velocity from these rotation data is used to estimate how closely any of these might approximate the nuclear or center-of-mass values. From seven indicators of central velocity, the internal scatter is delta_vv = 34 km/s. Of these, the velocity weighted by Halpha intensity along the slit shows a systematic offset of about 20 km/s with respect to the others for the Karachentsev pairs, in the sense that this measure is redshifted with respect to the other indicators. This is in the sense (but not of the total magnitude) required to account for statistical asymmetries in pair velocity differences. Individual scatter between the velocity indicators taken pairwise ranges from delta = 20 to 52 km/s. These results imply that emission-line data such as these cannot specify the center of mass or nuclear redshift at a level more accurate than this, even for arbitrarily precise velocity measurements, because it is not clear how the observed quantities relate to the desired measurement in a physical sense. No useful predictor of which galaxies have large or small scatter among velocity measures was found, except that the scatter is small for the class of "nonrotating" galaxies with small overall velocity amplitudes. Projected separation, separation normalized to disk scale length, and morphological disturbance do not correlate with velocity scatter.

- Description:
- File table5.dat contains the NGC (Cat. <VII/118>) numbers of the 40 galaxies observed in JHK with the MAGIC camera of the Calar Alto 2.2m telescope. Their absolute total JHK luminosities, the luminosities of disks and bulges, and the bulge-to-disk ratios were obtained by flux-calibrated 2-dimensional disk-bulge decompositions.

- Description:
- A sample of 54 nearby spiral galaxies was observed in the K' band with 3.5m NTT telescope, La Silla, ESO, to study the morphology and other properties of spiral perturbations in their disks. A subsample of the galaxies classified as ordinary, non-barred spirals was used to estimate frequency of weak bars detectable in the K' band. The tables provide general structural properties of the galaxies including estimated of the bulge/disk decomposition and spiral perturbations in the disks.

- Description:
- We present new long-slit H{alpha} spectroscopy for 403 non-interacting spiral galaxies, obtained at the Palomar Observatory 5m Hale telescope, which is used to derive well-sampled optical rotation curves. Because many of the galaxies show optical emission features that are significantly extended along the spectrograph slit, a technique was devised to separate and subtract the night sky lines from the galaxy emission. We exploit a functional fit to the rotation curve to identify its center of symmetry; this method minimizes the asymmetry in the final, folded rotation curve. We derive rotational widths using both velocity histograms and the Polyex model fit. The final rotational width is measured at a radius containing 83% of the total light as derived from I-band images.

- Description:
- We present the rotation curves of 967 southern spiral galaxies, obtained by deprojecting and folding the raw H{alpha} data originally published by Mathewson, Ford, & Buchhorn (1992ApJS...81..413M). For 900 objects, we also present, in figures and tables, the rotation curves smoothed on scales corresponding to 5%-20% of the optical size; of these, 80 meet objective excellence criteria and are suitable for individual detailed mass modeling, while 820, individually less compelling mainly because of the moderate statistics and/or limited extension, are suitable for statistical studies. The remaining 67 curves suffer from severe asymmetries, small statistics, and large internal scatter that may largely limit their use in galaxy structure studies. The deprojected folded curves, the smoothed curves, and various related quantities are available via anonymous ftp at galileo.sissa.it in the directory /users/ftp/pub/psrot.

- Description:
- For the first time, we investigate the X-ray/infrared (IR) correlation for star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at z~1, using SPIRE submm data from the recently launched Herschel Space Observatory and deep X-ray data from the 2-Ms Chandra Deep Field-North survey. We examine the X-ray/IR correlation in the soft X-ray (SX; 0.5-2keV) and hard X-ray (HX; 2-10keV) bands by comparing our z~1 SPIRE-detected SFGs to equivalently IR-luminous (L_IR_>10^10^L_{sun}_) samples in the local/low-redshift Universe.

- Description:
- We present far-infrared (FIR) and submillimetre photometry from the Herschel Space Observatory's Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) for 313 nearby (z<0.05) active galactic nuclei (AGN). We selected AGN from the 58 month Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) catalogue, the result of an all-sky survey in the 14-195keV energy band, allowing for a reduction in AGN selection effects due to obscuration and host galaxy contamination. We find 46 per cent (143/313) of our sample is detected at all three wavebands and combined with our Photoconductor Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) observations represents the most complete FIR spectral energy distributions of local, moderate-luminosity AGN. We find no correlation among the 250, 350, and 500{mu}m luminosities with 14-195keV luminosity, indicating the bulk of the FIR emission is not related to the AGN. However, Seyfert 1s do show a very weak correlation with X-ray luminosity compared to Seyfert 2s and we discuss possible explanations. We compare the SPIRE colours (F_250_/F_350_ and F_350_/F_500_) to a sample of normal star-forming galaxies, finding the two samples are statistically similar, especially after matching in stellar mass. But a colour-colour plot reveals a fraction of the Herschel-BAT AGN are displaced from the normal star-forming galaxies due to excess 500{mu}m emission (E_500_). Our analysis shows E_500_ is strongly correlated with the 14-195keV luminosity and 3.4/4.6{mu}m flux ratio, evidence the excess is related to the AGN. We speculate these sources are experiencing millimetre excess emission originating in the corona of the accretion disc.

- Description:
- We present 70 and 160{mu}m observations from the Spitzer extragalactic First Look Survey (xFLS). The data reduction techniques and the methods for producing co-added mosaics and source catalogs are discussed. Currently, 26% of the 70{mu}m sample and 49% of the 160{mu}m-selected sources have redshifts. The majority of sources with redshifts are star-forming galaxies at z<0.5, while about 5% have infrared colors consistent with active galactic nuclei. The observed infrared colors agree with the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of local galaxies previously determined from IRAS and Infrared Space Observatory data.
