- Roma-BZCAT Multi-Frequency Catalog of Blazars

- Description:
- This table contains the 5th edition of the Roma-BZCAT catalog of blazars which contains coordinates and multi-frequency data of 3561 sources. It presents several relevant changes with respect to the past editions which are briefly described in the reference paper. The Roma-BZCAT catalog contains data on 3561 sources, about 30% more than in the 1st edition, which either confirmed blazars or exhibiting characteristics close to this type of sources. With respect to the previous editions, this new edition has relevant changes in the sources' classification. The authors emphasize that all the sources in the Roma-BZCAT have a detection in the radio band. Moreover, complete spectroscopic information is published and could be accessed by the authors for all of them, with the exception of BL Lac candidates. Consequently, peculiar sources such as the so called "radio quiet BL Lacs", which are reported in some other catalogs, are not included here because of possible contamination by hot stars and other extragalactic objects. In the 5th edition, the authors use a similar denomination for the blazars to that adopted in the previous editions. Each blazar is identified by a code, with 5BZ for all blazars, a fourth letter that specifies the type (B, G, Q or U), followed by the truncated equatorial coordinates (J2000). The authors introduced the edition number before the letters BZ to avoid possible confusion due to the fact that several sources changed their old names because of a newly adopted classification. The 5th edition contains 1151 BZB sources (92 of which are reported as candidates because their optical spectra could not be found in the literature), 1909 BZQ sources, 274 BZG sources, and 227 BZU objects. This database table was originally ingested by the HEASARC in September 2013, based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/495/691">CDS Catalog J/A+A/495/691</a> file bzcat4.dat. It was updated in March 2016, and it is now based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/274">CDS Catalog VII/274</a> file bzcat5.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Title:
- Second Byurakan Survey General Catalog Galaxies Optical Database
- Short Name:

- Description:
- The Second Byurakan Survey (SBS) is a continuation of the First Byurakan Survey (FBS), also known as the Markarian Survey. The goal of the SBS was to reach fainter objects (as faint as limiting photographic magnitudes of 19.5, about 2.5 magnitudes fainter than the Markarian survey) and discover new active and star-forming galaxies using both UV excess and emission-line techniques. In this table, a database for the entire catalog of the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS) galaxies is presented, i.e, the 1700 SBS stars listed in Stepanian (2005) are not included herein. It contains new measurements of their optical parameters and additional information taken from the literature and other databases. The measurements were made using I<sub>pg</sub> (near-infrared), F<sub>pg</sub> (red) and J<sub>pg</sub> (blue) band images from photographic sky survey plates obtained by the Palomar Schmidt telescope and extracted from the STScI Digital Sky Survey (DSS). The database provides accurate coordinates, morphological type, spectral and activity classes, apparent magnitudes and diameters, axial ratios, and position angles, as well as number counts of neighboring objects in circles of radii 50 kpc around the sources. The total number of individual SBS objects in the database is now 1676. The 188 Markarian galaxies which were re-discovered by the SBS are not included in this database. the authors also include redshifts that are now available for 1576 SBS objects, as well as 2MASS infrared magnitudes for 1117 SBS galaxies. The new optical information on the SBS galaxies was obtained from images extracted from the STScI Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) of F_pg (red), J_pg (blue) and I_pg (near-infared) band photographic sky survey plates obtained by the Palomar telescope. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2012 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/VII/264">CDS Catalog J/VII/264</a> file sbs.dat.

- 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.
