Abstract:
We present a refinement of the optical morphologies for galaxies
in the Catalog of Isolated Galaxies (Karachentseva et al., 1973,
Cat. VII/82) that forms the basis of the AMIGA (Analysis of
the interstellar Medium of Isolated GAlaxies) project. Uniform
reclassification using the digitized POSS II data benefited from the
high resolution and dynamic range of that sky survey. Comparison with
independent classifications made for an SDSS overlap sample of more
than 200 galaxies confirms the reliability of the early vs. late-type
discrimination and the accuracy of spiral subtypes within
ΔT=1-2. CCD images taken at the Observatorio de Sierra Nevada
(OSN) were also used to solve ambiguities in early versus late-type
classifications. A considerable number of galaxies in the catalog
(n=193) are flagged for the presence of nearby companions or signs of
distortion likely due to interaction. This most isolated sample of
galaxies in the local Universe is dominated by two populations:
1) 82% are spirals (Sa-Sd) with the bulk being luminous systems with
small bulges (63% between types Sb-Sc) and
2) a significant population of early-type E-S0 galaxies (14%).
