ADCADC/CDS Standard Document for Catalog:
/external/nonstell/E7001/

The ADC has expanded its resources in order to better serve our users, we have developed a new category called "external" to complement our catalogs and journal table directories. You can access the data set described here through the URL:

The following is an abbreviated "ReadMe" document that describes this external data set.

Description:
   LEDA is a searchable database with key astrophysical parameters 
   of more than 1,004,597 galaxies. Included are: cross-identifications, 
   coordinates, morphological description, diameters, axial ratio, 
   surface brightness, fluxes, 21-cm line width, central velocity 
   dispersion, group membership, radial velocities. Each parameter is
   given with bibliographic references and the basic characteristics of
   the measurement. In addition model parameters and statistics are 
   available, as well as visualization tools.
