- Description:
- This table contains an all-sky catalog of 869 nearby galaxies having individual distance estimates within 11 Mpc or corrected radial velocities relative to the Local Group centroid V<sub>LG</sub> < 600 km s<sup>-1</sup>. The catalog is a renewed and expanded version of the previous Catalog of Neighboring Galaxies by Karachentsev et al. (2004, AJ, 127, 2031). It collects data on the following galaxy observables: angular diameters, apparent magnitudes in the far-UV, B, and K<sub>s</sub> bands, H-alpha and H I fluxes, morphological types, H I-line widths, radial velocities, and distance estimates. In this Local Volume (LV) sample, 108 dwarf galaxies still remain without measured radial velocities. The catalog also lists calculated global galaxy parameters: the linear Holmberg diameters, absolute B magnitudes, surface brightnesses, H I masses, stellar masses estimated via K-band luminosity, H I rotational velocities corrected for galaxy inclination, indicative masses within the Holmberg radius, and three kinds of "tidal index" which quantify the local density environment. In the reference paper, the authors briefly discuss the Hubble flow within the LV and different scaling relations that characterize galaxy structure and global star formation in them. They also trace the behavior of the mean stellar mass density, H I-mass density, and star formation rate density within the volume considered. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2013 based on electronic versions of Tables 1 and 2 from the reference paper which were obtained form the AJ web site.

- Title:
- Updated Zwicky Catalog
- Short Name:
- UZC
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Zwicky Catalog of Galaxies, with a magnitude limit m<sub>Zw</sub> <= 15.5, has been the basis for the Center for Astrophysics (CfA) redshift surveys. To date, analyses of the Zwicky Catalog and redshift surveys based on it have relied on heterogeneous sets of galaxy coordinates and redshifts. In this Updated Zwicky Catalog (UZC), some of the inadequacies of previous catalogs are corrected by providing (1) coordinates with ~<2 arcsecond errors for all of the 19,369 catalog galaxies, (2) homogeneously estimated redshifts cz (radial velocities) for the majority (98%) of the data taken at the CfA (14,632 spectra), and (3) an estimate of the remaining "blunder" rate for both the CfA redshifts and for those compiled from the literature. For the reanalyzed CfA data a calibrated, uniformly determined error and an indication of the presence of emission lines in each spectrum are included. Redshifts (radial velocities) are provided for the 7257 galaxies in the CfA2 redshift survey that were not previously published; for another 5625 CfA redshifts (radial velocities), the remeasured or uniformly rereduced values are listed. Among the new measurements, 1807 are members of UZC "multiplets" associated with the original Zwicky catalog position in the coordinate range where the catalog is 98% complete. These multiplets provide new candidates for examination of tidal interaction among galaxies. All of the new redshifts (radial velocities) correspond to UZC galaxies with properties recorded in the CfA redshift compilation known as ZCAT. The redshift catalog included in the UZC is ~96% complete to m<sub>Zw</sub> <= 15.5 and ~98% complete (12,925 galaxies out of a total of 13,150) for the right ascension ranges 20 hr >= RA(1950) <= 4 hr and 8 hr <= RA(1950) <= 17 hr and the declination range -2.5 degrees <= Dec(1950) <= 50 degrees. This more complete region includes all of the CfA2 survey as analyzed to the date of the publication of the UZC (1999). This database was created by the HEASARC in October 2000 based on a machine-readable version obtained from the CDS (Catalog J/PASP/111/438). It was slightly revised in February 2001 (the 'redshift' parameters were renamed as 'radial velocity' parameters to conform with the usage in other similar HEASARC extragalactic catalogs).

- Uppsala General Catalog of Galaxies
- Short Name:
- UGC
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Uppsala General Catalogue of Galaxies (UGC) is an essentially complete catalog of galaxies to a limiting diameter of 1.0 arcminute and/or to a limiting apparent magnitude of 14.5 on the blue prints of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS). Coverage is limited to the sky north of declination -02.5 degrees. Galaxies smaller than 1.0 arcminute in diameter but brighter than 14.5 mag may be included from the Catalogue of Galaxies and of Clusters of Galaxies (CGCG, Zwicky et al. 1961-1968); all such galaxies in the CGCG are included in the UGC. The galaxies are numbered in order of their 1950.0 right ascension values. The catalog contains descriptions of the galaxies and their surrounding areas, plus conventional system classifications and position angles for flattened galaxies. Galaxy diameters on both the blue and red POSS prints are included and the classifications and descriptions are given in such a way as to provide as accurate an account as possible of the appearance of the galaxies on the prints. Only the data portion of the published UGC is included in the machine-readable version, notice. For additional details regarding the classifications, measurement of apparent magnitudes, and data content, the source reference should be consulted. This database table was first ingested by the HEASARC in September 2000 based on a machine-readable version of the UGC obtained from the ADC (ADC Catalog VII/26D). This latter version was a corrected and modified version of the original magnetic tape version of the UGC. A list of the types of changes and modifications made by the ADC is available at <a href="https://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/26D/ReadMe">https://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/26D/ReadMe</a>, while the list of the affected entries is available at <a href="https://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/26D/errors.dat.gz">https://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/26D/errors.dat.gz</a>. <p> The HEASARC last updated this database table in November 2021 upon reflection that the original catalog's coordinates were B1950 (instead of J1950, as originally assumed by the HEASARC). Due to the precision of the coordinates in this catalog, the difference is negligible. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- This database table contains the 13th edition of the Catalog of Quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei by Veron-Cetty and Veron, and is an update of the previous versions. As in the previous editions, no information about absorption lines or X-ray properties is given, but absolute magnitides are provided, assuming a Hubble constant H<sub>0</sub> = 71 km/s/Mpc and a deceleration parameter q<sub>0</sub> = 0 (notice the change of cosmology from previous editions in which H<sub>0</sub> was assumed to be 50 km/s/Mpc). The present edition of this catalog contains 133336 quasars, 1374 BL Lac objects and 34231 active galaxies (including 15627 Seyfert 1 galaxies), for a grand total of 168941 objects, significantly more than the number of objects listed in the 12th edition (108080). The 13th edition includes positions and redshifts, as well as photometry (U, B, and V) and 6-cm and 20-cm flux densities, when available. 178 objects once proposed but now rejected as quasars are NOT included in the online version of this catalog: their names and positions are listed in the file <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/258/reject.dat">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/258/reject.dat</a>. This HEASARC table also does NOT contain the additional information on gravitationally lensed quasars and quasar pairs listed in Tables 3 and 4 of the published paper: these tables are available in electronic form at the CDS <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/248/">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/248/</a> files table2.dat and table3.dat (sic). The present edition of this catalog contains quasars with measured redshift known prior to July 1st, 2009. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in April 2010 based on machine-readable tables obtained from the CDS (their catalog VII/258, files qso.dat, bllac.dat, and agn.dat). It was last updated in June 2012 to tweak some class values. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- WBL Individual Galaxies Data Catalog (White et al. 1999)
- Short Name:
- WBL
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Catalog of Nearby Poor Clusters of Galaxies of White et al. (1999), also known as the WBL Catalog, is a catalog of 732 optically selected, nearby poor clusters of galaxies covering the entire sky north of -3 degrees declination. The poor clusters, called WBL clusters, were identified as concentrations of three or more galaxies with photographic magnitudes brighter than 15.7, possessing a galaxy surface overdensity of 10^(4/3). These criteria are consistent with those used in the identification of the original Yerkes poor clusters, and this new catalog substantially increases the sample size of such objects. These poor clusters cover the entire range of galaxy associations up to and including Abell clusters, systematically including poor and rich galaxy systems spanning over 3 orders of magnitude in the cluster mass function. As a result, this new catalog contains a greater diversity of richness and structures than other group catalogs, such as the Hickson and Yerkes catalogs. This table contains the entries for the individual galaxies in the poor clusters which ere given in Table 3 of the published catalog, and includes redshifts for the individual galaxies and cross-references to other galaxy catalogs. The WBL table (q.v.) contains the entries for the clusters themselves (given in Table 2 of the published catalog). The WBLGALAXY table was created by the HEASARC in July 2002 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/118/2014">CDS Catalog J/AJ/118/2014</a> (the file table3.dat).

- XMM-COSMOS X-Ray Selected Type-2 AGN
- Short Name:
- XMMCTY2AGN
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains the results from a study of the multi-wavelength (from the mid-infrared to the hard X-ray) properties of a sample of 255 spectroscopically identified X-ray selected Type-2 AGN from the XMM-COSMOS survey. Most of them are obscured and the X-ray absorbing column density is determined by either X-ray spectral analyses (for 45% of the sample), or from hardness ratios. Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) were computed for all sources in the sample. The average SEDs in the optical band are dominated by the host-galaxy light, especially at low X-ray luminosities and redshifts. There is also a trend between X-ray and mid-infrared luminosity: the AGN contribution in the infrared is higher at higher X-ray luminosities. The authors have calculated bolometric luminosities, bolometric corrections, stellar masses and star formation rates (SFRs) for these sources using multi-component modeling to properly disentangle the emission associated with stellar light from that due to black hole accretion. For 90% of the sample, they also have the morphological classifications obtained with an upgraded version of the Zurich estimator of structural types (ZEST+). The authors find that, on average, type-2 AGN have lower bolometric corrections than type-1 AGN. Moreover, they confirm that the morphologies of AGN host-galaxies indicate that there is a preference for these type-2 AGN to be hosted in bulge-dominated galaxies with stellar masses greater than 10<sup>10</sup> solar masses. For each source, this table contains the X-ray ID, spectroscopic redshift, logarithm of the 2-10keV luminosity, logarithm of the bolometric luminosity, bolometric correction, logarithm of the stellar mass, star formation rate, absolute magnitude M<sub>U</sub>, absolute magnitude M<sub>V</sub>, absolute magnitude M<sub>J</sub> (Johnson-Kron-Cousin system), and the morphological class. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2011 based on CDS table J/A+A/534/A110 file table1.dat. Some of the values for the name parameter in the HEASARC's implementation of this table were corrected in April 2018. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- X-Ray Selected BL Lac Objects Catalog
- Short Name:
- XRAYSELBLL
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains a catalog of 312 X-ray selected BL Lacertae objects (XBLs), optically identified through the end of 2011. It contains the names from different surveys, equatorial coordinates, redshifts, multi-frequency flux values, and luminosities for each source. In the reference, the different characteristics of these XBLs are statistically investigated (redshift, radio/optical/X-ray luminosities, central black hole (BH) mass, synchrotron peak frequency, broadband spectral indices, optical flux variability). Their values were collected through an extensive bibliographic and database search or calculated by the author. The redshifts range from 0.031 to 0.702 with a maximum of the distribution at z = 0.223. The 1.4-GHz luminosities of XBLs log (nu * L<sub>nu</sub>) ~ 39 - 42 (in units of erg s<sup>-1</sup>), while the optical V and X-ray (0.1-2.4 keV) bands show log (nu * L<sub>nu</sub>) ~ 43 - 46 (same units). The XBL hosts are elliptical galaxies with effective radii r<sub>eff</sub> = 3.26 - 25.40 kpc and ellipticities e = 0.04 - 0.52. Their R-band absolute magnitudes M<sub>R</sub> range from -21.11 mag to -24.86 mag with a mean value of -22.83 mag. The V - R indices of the hosts range from 0.61 to 1.52 and reveal a fourth-degree polynomial relationship with z that enabled the author to evaluate the redshifts of five sources whose V - R indices were determined from the observations, but whose redshifts values are either not found or not confirmed. The XBL nuclei show a wider range of 7.31 mag for M<sub>R</sub>, with the highest luminosity corresponding to M<sub>R</sub> = -27.24 mag. The masses of the central BHs are found in the interval log M<sub>BH</sub> = 7.39 - 9.30 (in units of solar masses), with the maximum of the distribution at log M<sub>BH</sub>/M<sub>sun</sub> = 8.30. The synchrotron peak frequencies are spread over the range log nu<sub>peak</sub> = 14.56 - 19.18 Hz, with a peak of the distribution at log nu<sub>peak</sub> = 16.60 Hz. The broad-band radio-to-optical (alpha<sub>ro</sub>), optical-to-X-ray (alpha<sub>ox</sub>), and radio-to-X-ray (alpha<sub>rx</sub>) spectral indices are distributed in the intervals (0.17, 0.59), (0.56, 1.48), and (0.41, 0.75), respectively. In the optical energy range, the overall flux variability increases, on average, towards shorter wavelengths: Delta(m) = 1.22, 1.50, and 1.82 through the R, V, B bands of the Johnson-Cousins system, respectively. XBLs seem be optically less variable at intranight timescales compared to radio-selected BL Lacs (RBLs).
