An image database. II. Catalogue between δ=-30deg and δ=70deg.
A preliminary list of 68.040 galaxies was built from extraction of35.841 digitized images of the Palomar Sky Survey (Paper I). For eachgalaxy, the basic parameters are obtained: coordinates, diameter, axisratio, total magnitude, position angle. On this preliminary list, weapply severe selection rules to get a catalog of 28.000 galaxies, wellidentified and well documented. For each parameter, a comparison is madewith standard measurements. The accuracy of the raw photometricparameters is quite good despite of the simplicity of the method.Without any local correction, the standard error on the total magnitudeis about 0.5 magnitude up to a total magnitude of B_T_=17. Significantsecondary effects are detected concerning the magnitudes: distance toplate center effect and air-mass effect.
| Neutral hydrogen profiles of cluster galaxies
Neutral hydrogen profiles of 67 galaxies in seven nearby clusters havebeen obtained with the Arecibo telescope. The neutral hydrogen masses ofthese galaxies range from 2 x 108 to 2 x 1010 M.There is no evidence for significant neutral hydrogen deficiency in anyof these clusters.
| 21 centimeter study of spiral galaxies in clusters. III - Neutral gas content, star formation, and radio continuum properties
21 cm line observations of 112 galaxies in seven clusters and inrelatively isolated regions in the Coma 'wall' were secured with theArecibo telescope. These, combined with an available data base, are usedto discuss the relations between the neutral gas column density, thestar formation rate, the FIR, and the radio continuum emission in spiralgalaxies inside and outside rich clusters. It is found thathydrogen-deficient cluster galaxies have star formation rates similar tounperturbed isolated galaxies, confirming that atomic gas ablation inclusters does not alter the supply of molecular gas. The extended radiocontinuum emission of about 30 percent of cluster spirals is higher thanthat of isolated galaxies of similar type at any given gas surfacedensity. A significant fraction of these galaxies is found perturbed intheir H I, optical, and radio continuum morphology consistent with thehypothesis that ram pressure, along with H I ablation, could producemajor morphological disturbances as well as enhancements in the diffusesynchrotron emission due to magnetic field compression.
| The velocity field of clusters of galaxies within 100 megaparsecs. II - Northern clusters
Distances and peculiar velocities for galaxies in eight clusters andgroups have been determined by means of the near-infrared Tully-Fisherrelation. With the possible exception of a group halfway between us andthe Hercules Cluster, we observe peculiar velocities of the same orderas the measuring errors of about 400 km/s. The present sample is drawnfrom the northern Galactic hemisphere and delineates a quiet region inthe Hubble flow. This contrasts with the large-scale flows seen in theHydra-Centaurus and Perseus-Pisces regions. We compare the observedpeculiar velocities with predictions based upon the gravity fieldinferred from the IRAS redshift survey. The differences between theobserved and predicted peculiar motions are generally small, except neardense structures, where the observed motions exceed the predictions bysignificant amounts. Kinematic models of the velocity field are alsocompared with the data. We cannot distinguish between parameterizedmodels with a great attractor or models with a bulk flow.
| General study of group membership. II - Determination of nearby groups
We present a whole sky catalog of nearby groups of galaxies taken fromthe Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database. From the 78,000 objects in thedatabase, we extracted a sample of 6392 galaxies, complete up to thelimiting apparent magnitude B0 = 14.0. Moreover, in order to considersolely the galaxies of the local universe, all the selected galaxieshave a known recession velocity smaller than 5500 km/s. Two methods wereused in group construction: a Huchra-Geller (1982) derived percolationmethod and a Tully (1980) derived hierarchical method. Each method gaveus one catalog. These were then compared and synthesized to obtain asingle catalog containing the most reliable groups. There are 485 groupsof a least three members in the final catalog.
| KISO survey for ultraviolet-excess galaxies. X.
Presented here are the tenth list and identification charts of theultraviolet-excess galaxies which have been detected on the multi-colorplates taken with the Kiso Schmidt telescope for 10 survey fields. Inthe sky area of some 300 square degrees 490 objects are catalogued downto the photographic magnitude of about 18.
| Radio-continuum survey of the Coma/A1367 supercluster. IV - 1.4 GHz observations of CGCG galaxies
1.4 GHz radio-continuum observations of 148 CGCG galaxies in the Comasupercluster region were obtained with the VLA in C array configuration.Comparison with previous measurements at 0.6 GHz leads to an averagespectral index of 0.8. The structures of 29 galaxies in this regiondetermined with high-resolution VLA (A array) observations arepresented.
| A VLA 20 CM survey of poor groups of galaxies
The paper reports on VLA 20 cm observations of an extensive sample ofgalaxies in 139 poor groups. These groups, composed of galaxies down tothe limit of the Zwicky et al. (CGCG) catalog, were chosen using apercolation algorithm set at a high surface-density threshold.Approximately 50 percent of the groups have measured redshifts. Thesegroups were surveyed using a 'snapshot' mode of the VLA with aresolution of about 13 arcsec. Analysis of the resulting radio andoptical properties reveals that the presence of a nearby companiongalaxy has an important role in generating radio emission in a galaxy.CCD observations of two radio-loud, disturbed galaxies with companionsare presented and are used to discuss models of radio-source production.Nine tailed radio galaxies are found in the poor groups, which is muchmore than had been expected from previous work on rich clusters and fromtheoretical models. The paper discusses previous statistical biases andproposes a method for bending head-tail sources in poor groups. From theconfinement of extended radio features associated with tailed sources,the presence of a substantial intracluster medium that should radiatesignificantly at soft-X-ray energies is predicted.
| The NGC 4005 group - A rotating system of galaxies?
H I line observations with the Arecibo 305 m telescope were made of 23galaxies within a 7 square degree region centered on the NGC 4005 group,a system of galaxies located in Zw 127-10. Accurate radial velocitiesand direct mass estimates derived from the 21 cm line profiles of thegalaxies in this region are reported. A systematic trend in the radialvelocities is found along the major axis of the NGC 4005 group. Thiscorrelation between position and velocity is fitted to a simple linearregression relation with a slope significantly different from zero. Oneexplanation for this effect is that the NGC 4005 group is rotating witha period no longer than four billion yr. Other possible interpretationsof this systematic effect are discussed. The mass of the group isestimated by applying the harmonic law, the virial theorem, and theprojected mass method. The masses obtained from the three methods areall consistent.
| Radio continuum survey of the Coma/A1367 supercluster. I - 610 MHz observations of CGCG galaxies in four groups
Radio continuum observations obtained with the Westerbork RadioSynthesis Telescope (WSRT) at 0.6 GHz of four groups of galaxies in theComa/A1367 supercluster area are presented. Ninety-nine CGCG galaxieswere surveyed, yielding the detection of 21 objects. A wide-angle-tailradio galaxy, NGC 4061, in the NGC 4065 group is found. Analysis of thissource suggests a relatively low value (n(e) T approximately 1000 per cucm K) for the intracluster gas pressure in this group.
