GALAXIES
Zwicky Catalog of Galaxies, Reduced to RC2 System:
27,806 CGCG galaxies between +90 degrees to 0 degrees who's diameters and magnitudes
have been reduced to the standard system of the Second Reference Catalog of Bright
Galaxies (RC2).
Catalog of Galaxies Behind the Milky Way
(GMW): 7,044 galaxy entries within a small portion of the Milky Way, extending from galactic
longitude 210 degrees to 250 degrees, roughly the region extending from Orion south to
Puppis. A 60 degrees HyperSky field, centered at RA = 7h30m and Dec = -16 degrees, will
show all catalog galaxies.
South Equatorial Galaxy Catalog
(ESGC): 3,244 galaxies between +3 degrees to -21 degrees (1950 equinox). Nominally
complete to a limiting diameter of 2.0 arcmin, but includes many smaller galaxies.
ESO/Uppsala Survey:
ESO(B) Atlas (ESOB): 18,417 objects from the ESO/Uppsala blue-light survey of the
southern sky.
1989 ESO-Uppsala Galaxy Surface Photometry Catalog
(ESO-LV): Machine measured diameters and photometric magnitudes for 15,457 galaxies
between -90 degrees and -17.5 degrees dec.
Flat Galaxy Catalog
(1993): 4,455 thin edge-on spiral galaxies with diameters greater than 40 and major-to-minor
axis ratios (a/b) =7. Thin bulgeless edge-on spirals exhibit a close correlation between their
linear diameter and the 21 cm line width. This correlation permits measurement of their
distances without requiring detailed photometry, and makes such a catalog suitable for the
study of large scale motions (cosmic streaming) and related problems in observational
cosmology.
Hubble Atlas of Galaxies:
Displays data for the 177 objects pictured in the Hubble Atlas of Galaxies (second printing,
1962).
1990 Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Redshift Catalog:
23,077 galaxies and quasars.
KISO Ultraviolet-excess Galaxies,
Lists 1 - 10: 5,347 ultraviolet-excess galaxies between -15 degrees and +90 degrees dec.
Lick Northern Proper Motion Survey Reference Galaxies:
50,517 faint compact galaxies which define the reference frame for part 1 of the Lick
Northern Proper Motion (NPM1) Survey: positions and proper motions of some 149,000
stars. Covers the sky north of dec -23 degrees, excluding the Milky Way and magnitude
range 14
Morphological Catalog of Galaxies:
30,642 galaxies approximately complete to a photographic magnitude of 15 down to -46
degrees dec.
Markarian Galaxy Catalog:
1,500 galaxies with blue excess and strong ultraviolet continuum radiation between -20
degrees to +90 degrees dec.
Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies:
336 galaxies north of -45 degrees designated by Arp as peculiar.
Second Reference Catalog of Bright Galaxies:
4,362 galaxies.
Third Reference Catalog of Bright Galaxies
(RC3.9b): 23,012 galaxies that are reasonably complete for galaxies having apparent
diameters larger than one arc minute at the D25 isophotal level and total B-band magnitudes
brighter than about 15.5, with a redshift less than or equal to 15000 km/sec.
Southern Redshifts Catalog,
South of 0 degrees dec., 1993: A ``best-estimate'' of the heliocentric radial velocities for
12,844 galaxies south of about 0 degrees dec.
Uppsala Galaxy Catalog:
The catalog is based on the Palomar Sky Survey, and was designed to be complete to the
limiting diameter of one-second on the blue prints. It also contains all galaxies to limiting
magnitude 14.5 (even those with a diameter less than 1.0) in the Catalog of Galaxies and
Clusters of Galaxies (CGCG)
Southern Galaxy Catalog:
5,476 galaxies covering the southern sky in a manner which complements the coverage of
the northern sky by the Uppsala Galaxy Catalog (UGC).
