- Description:
- At the faintest radio flux densities (S1.4<10mJy), conflicting results have arisen regarding whether there is a flattening of the average spectral index between a low radio frequency (325 or 610MHz) and, for example, 1.4GHz. We present a new catalogue of 843-MHz radio sources in the European Large Area ISO Survey-South 1 field, which contains the sources, their Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS) counterparts and the spectral index distribution of the sources as a function of flux density.

- Description:
- The Millennium Galaxy Catalogue (MGC) is a 37.5deg^2^, medium-deep, B-band imaging survey along the celestial equator, taken with the Wide Field Camera on the Isaac Newton Telescope. The survey region is contained within the regions of both the Two Degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release (SDSS-EDR). The survey has a uniform isophotal detection limit of 26mag.arcsec^-2^ and it provides a robust, well-defined catalogue of stars and galaxies in the range 16<=B_MGC_<24 mag. Here we describe the survey strategy, the photometric and astrometric calibration, source detection and analysis, and present the galaxy number counts that connect the bright and faint galaxy populations within a single survey. We argue that these counts represent the state of the art and use them to constrain the normalizations ({phi}*) of a number of recent estimates of the local galaxy luminosity function. We find that the 2dFGRS, SDSS Commissioning Data (CD), ESO Slice Project, Century Survey, Durham/UKST, Mt Stromlo/APM, SSRS2 and NOG luminosity functions require a revision of their published {phi}* values by factors of 1.05+/-0.05, 0.76+/-0.10, 1.02+/-0.22, 1.02+/-0.16, 1.16+/-0.28, 1.75+/-0.37, 1.40+/-0.26 and 1.01+/-0.39, respectively. After renormalizing the galaxy luminosity functions we find a mean local b_J_ luminosity density of 1.986+/-0.031x10^8^h L_{sun}_.Mpc^-3^

- Description:
- We present results of a deep survey of three extragalactic fields, M81 (exposure of 9.7Ms), Large Magellanic Cloud (6.8 Ms) and 3C 273/Coma (9.3Ms), in the hard X-ray (17-60keV) energy band with the IBIS telescope onboard the INTEGRAL observatory, based on 12 years of observations (2003-2015). The combined survey reaches a 4{sigma} peak sensitivity of 0.18mCrab (2.6x10^-12^erg/s/cm^2^) and sensitivity better than 0.25 and 0.87mCrab over 10 per cent and 90 per cent of its full area of 4900 deg^2^, respectively. We have detected in total 147 sources at S/N>4{sigma}, including 37 sources observed in hard X-rays for the first time. The survey is dominated by extragalactic sources, mostly active galactic nuclei (AGN). The sample of identified sources contains 98 AGN (including 64 Seyfert galaxies, seven low-ionization nuclear emission-line region galaxies, three X-ray bright optically normal galaxies, 16 blazars and eight AGN of unclear optical class), two galaxy clusters (Coma and Abell 3266), 17 objects located in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (13 high- and two low-mass X-ray binaries and two X-ray pulsars), three Galactic cataclysmic variables, one ultraluminous X-ray source (M82 X-1) and one blended source (SWIFT J1105.7+5854). The nature of 25 sources remains unknown, so that the survey's identification is currently complete at 83 per cent. We have constructed AGN number-flux relations (log N-log S) and calculated AGN number densities in the local Universe for the entire survey and for each of the three extragalactic fields.

- Description:
- The catalog is a compilation of information for approximately 34000 galaxies found and examined on the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS). Individual identifiers are assigned for about 29000 galaxies and information on the remaining 5000 is present in the extensive notes of the published catalogs (Vorontsov-Velyaminov et al. 1962-1968). The catalog is structured according to the POSS zones, counting from the equator, and is numbered from +15 (corresponding to +90 deg) to +01 (+06 zone) and +00 (equatorial zone) to -05 (-30 zone); the fields are numbered with increasing right ascension. The catalog includes cross-identifications to the NGC (Dreyer 1888) and IC (Dreyer 1895, 1908) catalogs, equatorial coordinates for B1950.0, magnitudes, estimated sizes and intensities of the brighter inner region and the entire object, and estimated inclinations.

- Morphological classifications of APM galaxies

- Description:
- We investigate the consistency of visual morphological classifications of galaxies by comparing classifications for 831 galaxies from six independent observers. The galaxies were classified on laser print copy images or on computer screen using scans made with the Automated Plate Measuring (APM) machine. Classifications are compared using the Revised Hubble numerical type index T. We find that individual observers agree with one another with rms combined dispersions of between 1.3 and 2.3 type units, typically about 1.8 units. The dispersions tend to decrease slightly with increasing angular diameter and, in some cases, with increasing axial ratio (b/a). The agreement between independent observers is reasonably good but the scatter is non-negligible. In spite of the scatter, the Revised Hubble T system can be used to train an automated galaxy classifier, e.g. an artificial neural network, to handle the large number of galaxy images that are being compiled in the APM and other surveys.

- Description:
- We present a catalog of morphologically classified bright galaxies in the north equatorial stripe (230deg^2^) derived from the Third Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Morphological classification is performed by visual inspection of images in the g band. The catalog contains 2253 galaxies complete to a magnitude limit of r=16 after Galactic extinction correction, selected from 2658 objects that are judged to be extended in the photometric catalog in the same magnitude limit. A total of 1866 galaxies in our catalog have spectroscopic information. A brief statistical analysis is presented for the frequency of morphological types and mean colors in the catalog. A visual inspection of the images reveals that the rate of interacting galaxies in the local universe is approximately 1.5% in the r<=16 sample. A verification is made for the photometric catalog generated by the SDSS, especially as to its bright-end completeness.

- Description:
- The morphology of galaxies can be quantified to some degree using a set of scale-invariant parameters. Concentration (C), asymmetry (A), smoothness (S), the Gini index (G), the relative contribution of the brightest pixels to the second-order moment of the flux (M_20_), ellipticity (E), and the Gini index of the second-order moment (G_M_) have all been applied to morphologically classify galaxies at various wavelengths. Here, we present a catalog of these parameters for the Spitzer Survey of stellar structure in Galaxies, a volume-limited, near-infrared (NIR) imaging survey of nearby galaxies using the 3.6 and 4.5{mu}m channels of the Infrared Array Camera on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. Our goal is to provide a reference catalog of NIR quantified morphology for high-redshift studies and galaxy evolution models with enough detail to resolve stellar mass morphology. We explore where normal, non-interacting galaxies--those typically found on the Hubble tuning fork--lie in this parameter space and show that there is a tight relation between concentration (C_82_) and M_20_ for normal galaxies. M_20_ can be used to classify galaxies into earlier and later types (i.e., to separate spirals from irregulars). Several criteria using these parameters exist to select systems with a disturbed morphology, i.e., those that appear to be undergoing a tidal interaction. We examine the applicability of these criteria to Spitzer NIR imaging. We find that four relations, based on the parameters A and S, G and M_20_, G_M_, C, and M_20_, respectively, select outliers in morphological parameter space, but each selects different subsets of galaxies. Two criteria (G_M_>0.6,G>-0.115xM_20_+0.384) seem most appropriate to identify possible mergers and the merger fraction in NIR surveys. We find no strong relation between lopsidedness and most of these morphological parameters, except for a weak dependence of lopsidedness on concentration and M_20_.

- Description:
- We present catalogs of objects detected in deep images of 11 fields in 10 distant clusters obtained using WFPC-2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope. The clusters span the redshift range z=0.37-0.56 and are the subject of a detailed ground- and space-based study to investigate the evolution of galaxies as a function of environment and epoch. The data presented here include positions, photometry and basic morphological information on ~9000 objects in the fields of the 10 clusters. For a brighter subset of 1857 objects in these areas, we provide more detailed morphological information.

- Description:
- We present a catalogue and images of visually detected features, such as asymmetries, extensions, warps, shells, tidal tails, polar rings, and obvious signs of mergers or interactions, in the faint outer regions (at and outside of R_25_) of nearby galaxies. This catalogue can be used in future quantitative studies that examine galaxy evolution due to internal and external factors. We are able to reliably detect outer region features down to a brightness level of 0.03MJy/sr/pixel at 3.6{mu}m in the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G). We also tabulate companion galaxies. We find asymmetries in the outer isophotes in 22+/-1% of the sample. The asymmetry fraction does not correlate with galaxy classification as an interacting galaxy or merger remnant, or with the presence of companions. We also compare the detected features to similar features in galaxies taken from cosmological zoom re-simulations. The simulated images have a higher fraction (33%) of outer disc asymmetries, which may be due to selection effects and an uncertain star formation threshold in the models. The asymmetries may have either an internal (e.g. lopsidedness due to dark halo asymmetry) or external origin.
