Description:
    File table1 contains names, positions, b_jori_ magnitudes, magnitude
    errors, redshifts, redshift errors, [OII]3727 emission-line fluxes
    (where detected) and identification codes for 485 early-type galaxies
    displaying consistent data quality suitable for statistical analyses.

    File table2 contains names, positions, b_jori_ magnitudes, magnitude
    errors, redshifts and redshift errors for 96 early-type galaxies
    displaying inconsistent data quality, unsuitable for statistical
    analyses.
