VII/99 Radial Velocities of Galaxies (Palumbo+ 1986)
================================================================================
Catalogue of Radial Velocities of Galaxies

ADC_Keywords: Galaxy catalogs ; Radial velocities
Description:
This catalog lists coordinates, names, and radial velocities for 8250
galaxies scattered over the whole sky. Both optical and radio measures
are included. The individual values are given as published, with a
reference to each, but no unpublished data are included. An attempt
was made to obtain the most accurate coordinates for each object
rather than relying on the source papers. In addition to the positions
and heliocentric velocities, the catalog contains a name of the
galaxy, whether the observation is made by radio or optically, the
mean error of the velocity, a correction for the galactic motion of
the Sun, and comments.
This electronic version is a slightly improved version compared to the
published one, and contains more names. References and notes are not
included, and the user must refer to the printed version to get them.

Note on Name: the NGC number is always given first if present ;
the Index Catalogue (IC) number follows whenever applicable.
Other names listed:
ZW : Zwicky lists of compact galaxies (Zwicky and Zwicky, 1971, Zurich;
Zwicky et al., 1975AJ.....80..545Z).
ZW-S indicates Zwicky's southern survey.
MRK : Markarian galaxies,
DDO : David Dunlap Observatory galaxies (van den Bergh
1959PDDO....2..145V and 1966AJ.....71..922V)
ARP : Arp peculiar galaxies (catalog <VII/74>)
VV : Vorontsov-Velyaminov interacting objects (1959, Moscow ;
1977A&AS...28....1V)
KDG : Karachentsev double galaxies (cat. <VII/77>)
HOL : Holmberg double and multiple galaxies (1937AnLun...6....1H)
M : Messier numbers
3CR : Radiogalaxies (see Spinrad, 1985PASP...97..932S)
A : in a very few cases, anonymous classification has been used
as in the RC1 (Reference catalogue of Bright Galaxies,
de Vaucouleurs and de Vaucouleurs, 1964).
Note on u_RV:
W: Measurement that was successively recognized as wrong by the
author(s). These values, although unreliable, have been included
in order to prevent the reader from using them.
): (parenthesized value): low confidence in quoted velocity
Note on r_RV:
references are only available in the printed version of the catalog.
Note on Com: the following compact comments may occur:
*: When an asterisk appears a note is present at the end of the
catalogue (available in the printed version only).
SEYF: Seyfert galaxy. Sources for this classification are
Khachikian and Weedman (1974ApJ...192..581K),
Weedman (1977ARA&A..15...69W),
Markarian (1977A&A....58..139M) as well as more recent
spectral information given in some of the references quoted.
DIS: Discrepant velocity. It indicates that the quoted velocity
differs by more than 750km/s (i.e., five times a formal
optical error of 150km/s) from the first reported velocity,
usually a 21-cm high accuracy measurement. If the velocity
of the galaxy is greater than 10,000km/s the flag indicates
a 3000km/s discrepancy. Some of the discrepancies in RV can
be ascribed to serious errors such as inappropriate line
identification in the spectra or misidentification of the
object.
HII REG or KNOT:
This is not a morphological comment about the structure of
the galaxy. It simply indicates that the reported spectrum
was taken on a bright knotty region of the galaxy rather
than on its nucleus. These comments may be incomplete due to
lack of details in published papers. If this comment appears
on the first line it implies that all radial velocities
listed under those coordinates refer to the same HII region
or Knot. Radial velocities referring to the nucleus of the
galaxy containing that HII region or Knot appear under a
separate heading.
F G: This label identifies galaxies in the optical field of a
radiosource that are not associated with the radio source
itself, although their coordinates in this catalogue could
be the same as those of the radiosource.
XYZ: Peculiar names. In order not to overcrowd Column 3, some
peculiar names given to galaxies either historically or by
their discoverer are given in this column. All Messier's
numbers for instance, are given here. All names (shortened
in this column) are listed in full in Appendix 9.1 of the
printed catalogue. In the case of groups, only the western
component is identified; the other components follow. This
also holds for groups given in the appendices.
