Abstract:
We have compiled a catalogue of the gas content for a sample of 1916
galaxies, considered to be a fair representation of normality. The
definition of a normal galaxy adopted in this work implies that we
have purposely excluded from the catalogue galaxies having distorted
morphology (such as interaction bridges, tails or lopsidedness) and/or
any signature of peculiar kinematics (such as polar rings,
counterrotating disks or other decoupled components). In contrast, we
have included systems hosting active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the
catalogue. This catalogue revises previous compendia on the ISM
content of galaxies published by Bregman et al. (1992ApJ...387..484B 1992ApJ...387..484B)
and Casoli et al. (1998A&A...331..451C 1998A&A...331..451C), and compiles data available
in the literature from several small samples of galaxies. Masses for
warm dust, atomic and molecular gas, as well as X-ray luminosities
have been converted to a uniform distance scale taken from the
Catalogue of Principal Galaxies (PGC). We have used two different
normalization factors to explore the variation of the gas content
along the Hubble sequence: the blue luminosity (LB) and the square of
linear diameter (D252). Our catalogue significantly improves the
statistics of previous reference catalogues and can be used in future
studies to define a template ISM content for normal galaxies along the
Hubble sequence.
