The UZC-SSRS2 Group Catalog
We apply a friends-of-friends algorithm to the combined Updated ZwickyCatalog and Southern Sky Redshift Survey to construct a catalog of 1168groups of galaxies; 411 of these groups have five or more members withinthe redshift survey. The group catalog covers 4.69 sr, and all groupsexceed the number density contrast threshold, δρ/ρ=80. Wedemonstrate that the groups catalog is homogeneous across the twounderlying redshift surveys; the catalog of groups and their membersthus provides a basis for other statistical studies of the large-scaledistribution of groups and their physical properties. The medianphysical properties of the groups are similar to those for groupsderived from independent surveys, including the ESO Key Programme andthe Las Campanas Redshift Survey. We include tables of groups and theirmembers.
| 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.
| Imaging and Spectroscopic Observations of the Case Survey Blue/Emission- Line Galaxies
We present CCD imaging and spectroscopic data for 176 blue and/oremission-line galaxies from Lists I and II of the Case Northern SkySurvey. Our sample consists of all Case galaxies which lie in the regionwhich overlaps the original Slice of the Universe survey. We use theobservational data to investigate the physical properties of thegalaxies selected by the survey, to compare with various parameterspublished in the survey lists, and to investigate the selectioncharacteristics and completeness limit of the survey. The majority ofthe Case galaxies are energized by regions of active star formation;only 5% of the sample are Seyfert galaxies. The dual selectiontechniques used (both UV-excess and emission lines) allow the survey todetect star-forming galaxies with a wide range of properties andevolutionary states. In particular, the Case survey selects galaxieswith lower levels of activity than most previous surveys. The surveyalso includes a larger fraction of intermediate and low-luminositygalaxies than would be present in a purely magnitude- limited sample.Although galaxies as faint as m_B_ = 19 are present in the sample, thecompleteness limit of the UV-excess selected portion of the survey iscloser to m_B_ = 16. The luminosity function of the Case galaxies isderived and compared with that of the "normal" field galaxies in thesame volume of space. The shape of the Case luminosity function issimilar to that for the field sample. A surprising result is that 31% ofthe field galaxy population can be accounted for by galaxies of the typeselected in the Case survey.
| 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.
| Groups of galaxies in the Center for Astrophysics redshift survey
By applying the Huchra and Geller (1982) objective group identificationalgorithm to the Center for Astrophysics' redshift survey, a catalog of128 groups with three or more members is extracted, and 92 of these areused as a statistical sample. A comparison of the distribution of groupcenters with the distribution of all galaxies in the survey indicatesqualitatively that groups trace the large-scale structure of the region.The physical properties of groups may be related to the details oflarge-scale structure, and it is concluded that differences among groupcatalogs may be due to the properties of large-scale structures andtheir location relative to the survey limits.
| KISO survey for ultraviolet-excess galaxies. VI.
Not Available
| The case low-dispersion northern sky survey. II
Attention is given to objects, whose blue magnitudes range from 11 to18, which were found on low dispersion objective prism plates taken withthe Burrell Schmidt-type telescope at Kitt Peak. Positions, estimatedmagnitudes, and finding charts are presented for 125 blue and/oremission-line galaxies, 120 blue and/or emission line stellar objects(including QSO candidates), and 38 known and probable blue stars.
