TitleParameters of 2447 Southern Spiral Galaxies for Use in the Tully-Fisher Relation
AuthorsMathewson, D. S.; Ford, V. L.
Bibcode

1996ApJS..107...97M   Search ADS ↗

AbstractI-band luminosities, rotational velocities, and redshifts of 1092 spiral galaxies have been measured by CCD photometry and Hα spectroscopy using the 1 m and 2.3 m telescopes at Siding Spring Observatory, respectively. The results are tabulated. Luminosity profiles and Hα rotation curves are given for the galaxies. When these results are combined with similar data for 1355 spiral galaxies published previously (Mathewson, Ford, & Buchhorn, hereafter Paper I), it provides a large, uniform, and unique data set with which to measure, via the Tully-Fisher relation, the peculiar velocities of galaxies in the local universe to a distance of 11,000 km s^-1^ (Mathewson & Ford). Taking advantage of the opportunity for publishing this data in machine-readable form, in the CD-ROM, we have also included similar data for the 1355 galaxies in Paper I.
