Abstract:
    We present a catalogue of galaxies for which spatially resolved data
    on their internal kinematics have been published; there is no a priori
    restriction regarding their morphological type. The catalogue lists
    the references to the articles where the data are published, as well
    as a coded description of these data: observed emission or absorption
    line, velocity or velocity dispersion, radial profile or 2D field,
    observed position angle.
    This catalogue will be updated. Check for recent version at the URL:

Note on Name:
  The Name has been adopted by descending the hierarchy:
  (1) Usual name for the dSph and the Milky Way
  (2) NGC (Cat. <VII/118>) name
  (3) IC (Cat. <VII/118>)
  (4) UGC (Cat. <VII/26>) or ESO (Cat. <VII/34>)
  (5) PGC (Principal Galaxies Catalogue, Cat. <VII/119>) (Lyon-Meudon
       Extragalactic Database) internal identifier, also acronymed PGC
       (with numbers greater then 73097). The objects left unfolded into
       this hierarchy are designated as in the original publication.
Note on PA: the value "999" stands for "not available", and blanks
     mean "Meaningless"
