- Description:
- We present the results from an analysis of surface photometry of B, R, and H{alpha} images of a total of 114 nearby galaxies (v_helio_<4000km/s) drawn from the Palomar/Las Campanas Imaging Atlas of blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies. Surface brightness and color profiles for the complete sample have been obtained. We determine the exponential and Sersic profiles that best fit the surface brightness distribution of the underlying stellar population detected in these galaxies. We also compute the (B-R) color and total absolute magnitude of the underlying stellar population and compared them to the integrated properties of the galaxies in the sample.

- Description:
- We analyze new V-band images of 14 dwarf S0 galaxies and 10 dwarf elliptical galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, in combination with R-band images of 70 dwarf elliptical galaxies from an earlier paper. We compute the intensity-weighted mean ellipticity, the mean deviations from elliptical isophotes, and a newly defined parameter to measure isophotal twists. We also fit each major-axis profile to a power law {Sigma}(a) {prop.to} exp[-(a/a_s_)^n^], where n is allowed to vary. Consistent with other studies of the Virgo dwarf ellipticals, we find that the profile shapes for the entire sample is strongly peaked near n=1 (exponential profiles) and that no galaxies have n=1/4 (de Vaucouleurs profile). The faintest galaxies all have nearly exponential profiles, while the brighter ones on average have n<1. The correlation between ellipticity and the boxy/disky parameter is similar to that of large elliptical galaxies, suggesting that dwarfs may also be divided into two groups with differing internal dynamics. The Virgo dEs also show a greater degree of isophotal twisting than more luminous elliptical galaxies.

- Description:
- The 15467 southern galaxies in this catalog were scanned from 407 blue and 407 red original ESO-Schmidt plates using a PDS microdensitometer. The galaxies were selected from the ESO-Uppsala Catalogue (VII/34). The original selection criterion was a minimum visual angular diameter of 1arcmin. The plates were calibrated using a catalog of photo- electric standards of 1700 standard galaxies transformed to a photometric standard system (Cousins) created by the authors. The result is a catalog acquired in a homogeneous fashion for all types of galaxies in various environments. The extracted parameters include radial surface brightness profiles, magnitudes at several isophotal levels, colors, color gradients, effective radius parameters, structural parameters such as axial ratios, position angles, and profile gradients. The full version of the catalog, made of 190 columns, is available as the file "esolv.fit" in FITS table format. The ascii file "esolv1.dat" contains a subset of these columns which includes those parameters listed in the printed book version. Detailed discussion of the catalog creation is given in the published book version (ISBN 3-923524-31-5)

- Surface Photometry of Hydra I Galaxies. I.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Surface photometry was made for 137 galaxies on a UK Schmidt plate whose center is located at the center of the Hydra I (A1060) cluster of galaxies. For 133 of 137 galaxies the photometric parameters such as total magnitude, equivalent radius, concentration indices, and mean surface brightness were obtained. The total magnitudes were compared with those in the literature to check the accuracy of the present data. The estimated accuracy in the total magnitudes is about 0.1 mag at most for majority of the galaxies. This catalog is an updated version from the published paper.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present surface photometry and metallicity measurements for 104 nearby dwarf galaxies imaged with the Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. In addition, we carried out photometry for 26 galaxies of the sample and for Sextans B on images of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our sample comprises dwarf spheroidal, irregular and transition type galaxies located within ~10Mpc in the field and in nearby groups: M81, Centaurus A, Sculptor and Canes Venatici I cloud. It is found that the early-type galaxies have on average higher metallicity at a given luminosity in comparison to the late-type objects. Dwarf galaxies with MB>=-12 to -13mag deviate towards larger scalelengths from the scalelength-luminosity relation common for spiral galaxies, h{prop.to}L^0.5^_B_.

- Description:
- We have obtained integrated spectra and multifilter photometry for a representative sample of ~200 nearby galaxies. These galaxies span the entire Hubble sequence in morphological type, as well as a wide range of luminosities (M_B_=-14 to -22) and colors (B-R=0.4-1.8). Here we describe the sample selection criteria and the U, B, R surface photometry for these galaxies. The spectrophotometric results will be presented in a companion paper (Cat. <J/ApJS/126/331>).

- Description:
- Intrigued by the initial report of an extended luminosity distribution perpendicular to the disk of the edge-on Sc galaxy NGC 5907, we have obtained very deep exposures of this galaxy with a Schmidt telescope, large-format CCD, and intermediate-band filters centered at 6660 {AA} and 8020 {AA}. These two filters, part of a 15-filter set, are custom designed to avoid the brightest (and most variable) night skylines. As a result, our images are able to go deeper with lower sky noise than those taken with broadband filters at similar effective wavelengths: e.g., 0.6 e^-^ arcsec^-2^ s^-1^ for our observations versus 7.4 e^-^ arcsec^-2^ s-1 for the R-band measures of Morrison et al. (1994AJ....108.1191M). In our assessment of both random and systematic errors, we show that the flux level where the errors of observation reach 1 mag arcsec^-2^ are 29.00 mag arcsec^-2^ in the 6660 {AA} image (corresponding to 28.7 in the R band) and 27.4 mag arcsec^-2^ in the 8020 {AA} image (essentially on the I-band system)

- Description:
- New surface photometry of all known elliptical galaxies in the Virgo cluster is combined with published data to derive composite profiles of brightness, ellipticity, position angle, isophote shape, and color over large radius ranges. These provide enough leverage to show that Sersic logI{prop.to}r^1/n^ functions fit the brightness profiles I(r) of nearly all ellipticals remarkably well over large dynamic ranges. Therefore, we can confidently identify departures from these profiles that are diagnostic of galaxy formation. Finally, we verify that there is a strong dichotomy between elliptical and spheroidal galaxies. Their properties are consistent with our understanding of their different formation processes: mergers for ellipticals and conversion of late-type galaxies into spheroidals by environmental effects and by energy feedback from supernovae.

- Surface rotation & activity of Kepler stars. I.

- CDS
- Description:
- Brightness variations due to dark spots on the stellar surface encode information about stellar surface rotation and magnetic activity. In this work, we analyze the Kepler long-cadence data of 26521 main-sequence stars of spectral types M and K in order to measure their surface rotation and photometric activity level. Rotation-period estimates are obtained by the combination of a wavelet analysis and autocorrelation function of the light curves. Reliable rotation estimates are determined by comparing the results from the different rotation diagnostics and four data sets. We also measure the photometric activity proxy S_ph_ using the amplitude of the flux variations on an appropriate timescale. We report rotation periods and photometric activity proxies for about 60% of the sample, including 4431 targets for which McQuillan+ (2014, J/ApJS/211/24) did not report a rotation period. For the common targets with rotation estimates in this study and in McQuillan+, our rotation periods agree within 99%. In this work, we also identify potential polluters, such as misclassified red giants and classical pulsator candidates. Within the parameter range we study, there is a mild tendency for hotter stars to have shorter rotation periods. The photometric activity proxy spans a wider range of values with increasing effective temperature. The rotation period and photometric activity proxy are also related, with S_ph_ being larger for fast rotators. Similar to McQuillan+, we find a bimodal distribution of rotation periods.
