Abstract:
We present revised positions for the 1051 galaxies belonging to the
Karachentseva Catalog of Isolated Galaxies (CIG, Cat. VII/82). New
positions were calculated by applying SExtractor to the Digitized Sky
Survey CIG fields with a spatial resolution of 1.2". We visually
checked the results and for 118 galaxies had to recompute the assigned
positions due to complex morphologies (e.g. distorted isophotes,
undefined nuclei, knotty galaxies) or the presence of bright stars. We
found differences between older and newer positions of up to 38" with
a mean value of 2.96" relative to SIMBAD and up to 38" and 2.42"
respectively relative to UZC (Cat. J/PASP/111/438). Based on star
positions from the APM catalog (Cat. I/267) we determined that the
DSS astrometry of five CIG fields has a mean offset in
(α,δ) of (-0.90", 0.93") with a dispersion of 0.4". These
results have been confirmed using the 2MASS All-Sky Catalog of Point
Sources (Cat. II/246). The intrinsic errors of our method combined
with the astrometric ones are of the order of 0.5".
