Description:
   The 15467 southern galaxies in this catalog were scanned from 407 blue
   and 407 red original ESO-Schmidt plates using a PDS microdensitometer.
   The galaxies were selected from the ESO-Uppsala Catalogue. The original
   selection criterion was a minimum visual angular diameter of 1 arcmin.
   The plates were calibrated using a catalog of photo-electric standards
   of 1700 standard galaxies transformed to a photometric standard system
   (Cousins) created by the authors. The result is a catalog acquired in a
   homogeneous fashion for all types of galaxies in various environments.
   The extracted parameters include radial surface brightness profiles,
   magnitudes at several isophotal levels, colors, color gradients,
   effective radius parameters, structural parameters such as axial ratios,
   position angles, and profile gradients. Detailed discussion of the
   catalog creation is given in the published book version that includes a
   subset of these parameters.
