- 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).

- 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.

- 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.

- Deprojection of the r^1/4^ law tables
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/81/807
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A spherical galaxy with reduced surface brightness, J=B({alpha})/B_e_, obeying the r^1/4^ law, logJ=-3.3307 ({alpha}^1/4^-1), where {alpha} is the reduced radius, {alpha}=r/r_e_ (r_e_ is the effective radius), is deprojected to find the corresponding space density, mass, mean density, force, potential, escape velocity, and potential energy at each point in the galaxy. Numerical tabulations to five significant figures are given for 124 points in the range 10^-6^<=R/r_e_<=260. In addition the projected surface brightness B({alpha}) and integrated luminosity within {alpha} are tabulated for the range 10^-6^<={alpha}=r/r_e_<=260. Conversion factors to cgs units and to M_{sun}_, pc, km/s, L_{sun}_ units are given. Asymptotic expansions for the space density {rho}(s) in the ranges s=<10^-4^ and s>=10^-1^ are derived, and it is demonstrated that the projection of the expansion for s<=10^-1^ is almost indistinguishable from the r^1/4^ law itself, apart from a small excess of luminosity in the central regions. Formulae and numerical tables of the luminosity distribution are given for use in galaxy photometry. Relations between the total galactic mass M_T_, the effective radius r_e_, the velocity dispersion {sigma}_v_, the central density {rho}_c_ and the mass M_N_ and radius R_N_ of the nucleus are derived. Here the "nucleus" is defined as the region within which stars having a velocity equal to the mean velocity dispersion in space, {sigma}_v_.

- -3.5<=DE<=8.5, 11.5<RA<13.5 redshift survey
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/119/277
- Date:

- 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.

- 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.

- Detection of fast HI outflow in Mrk231
- Short Name:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present the detection, performed with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) and the Karl Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), of a fast HI 21-cm outflow in the ultra-luminous infrared galaxy Mrk 231. The outflow is observed as shallow HI absorption blueshifted ~1300 km/s with respect to the systemic velocity and located against the inner kpc of the radio source. The outflowing gas has an estimated column density between 5 and 15x10^18^Tspin.cm^-2^. We derive the Tspin to lie in the range 400-2000 K and the corresponding HI densities are n_HI_~10-100cm^-3^. We also obtained deeper continuum images than previously available. They confirm the complex structure of the radio continuum originating both from the AGN and star formation. At the resolution obtained with the VLA (~1-arcsec) we do not see a kpc-scale jet. Instead, we detect a plateau of emission, likely due to star formation, surrounding the bright nuclear region. We also detect a poorly collimated bridge which may represent the channel feeding the southern lobe. The unprecedented depth of the low-resolution WSRT image reveals radio emission extending 50-arcsec (43kpc) to the south and 20arcsec (17kpc) to the north.

- 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

- 6dF Galaxy Survey: Fundamental Plane data
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We report the 6dFGS Fundamental Plane (6dFGSv) catalogue that is used to estimate distances and peculiar velocities for nearly 9000 early-type galaxies in the local (z<0.055) universe. Velocity dispersions are derived by cross-correlation from 6dF V-band spectra with typical S/N of 12.9{AA}^-1^ for a sample of 11315 galaxies; the median velocity dispersion is 163km/s and the median measurement error is 12.9 per cent. The photometric Fundamental Plane (FP) parameters (effective radii and surface brightnesses) are determined from the JHK 2MASS images for 11102 galaxies. Comparison of the independent J- and K-band measurements implies that the average uncertainty in X_FP_, the combined photometric parameter that enters the FP, is 0.013dex (3 per cent) for each band. Visual classification of morphologies was used to select a sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies that form 6dFGSv. This catalogue has been used to study the effects of stellar populations on galaxy scaling relations, to investigate the variation of the FP with environment and galaxy morphology, to explore trends in stellar populations through, along and across the FP, and to map and analyse the local peculiar velocity field.
