Abstract:
We present ultraviolet through far-infrared (FIR) surface brightness
profiles for the 75 galaxies in the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies
Survey (SINGS). The imagery used to measure the profiles includes
Galaxy Evolution Explorer UV data, optical images from Kitt Peak
National Observatory, Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, and
Sloan Digital Sky Survey, near-IR data from Two Micron All Sky Survey,
and mid- and FIR images from Spitzer. Along with the radial profiles,
we also provide multi-wavelength asymptotic magnitudes and several
nonparametric indicators of galaxy morphology: the concentration index
(C42), the asymmetry (A), the Gini coefficient (G), and the normalized
second-order moment of the brightest 20% of the galaxy's flux
({overline}M20). In this paper, the first of a series, we describe
the technical aspects regarding the surface photometry, and present a
basic analysis of the global and structural properties of the SINGS
galaxies at different wavelengths.
Description:
The SINGS sample (Kennicutt et al. 2003PASP..115..928K 2003PASP..115..928K) consists of
75 nearby galaxies selected to cover the range in morphological-type,
luminosity and FIR/optical luminosity observed in the local universe.
The GALEX mission has observed nearly all SINGS galaxies in the FUV
and the near-UV. Optical images for the SINGS galaxies were taken at
the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) 2.1m telescope and the Cerro
Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) 1.5m telescope, using Harris
BVRI filters. We finally opted for using images from the Sloan Digital
Sky Survey (SDSS-DR6; Adelman-McCarthy et al. 2008, Cat. II/282;
superseded by II/294) for as many galaxies as possible. Since the
SINGS galaxies are too large to fit into a single Two Micron All Sky
Survey (2MASS) scan, the corresponding mosaics were retrieved from the
2MASS Large Galaxy Atlas (LGA; Jarrett et al. 2003AJ....125..525J 2003AJ....125..525J).
Mid-IR images at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0um were obtained using the
Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on board Spitzer and MIPS for 24, 70 and
160um.

d = The P.A. and axis ratio for NGC 5194 differ from those in the RC3, which
are affected by the presence of NGC 5195.
Note (2): Apparent major and minor isophotal diameters at
µB=25mag/arcsec2 from the RC3 catalog.
Note (3): Distance to the galaxy, rounded to the nearest Mpc when larger
than 10Mpc, taken from Gil de Paz et al. (2007, Cat. J/ApJS/173/185)

Note (4): Optical data from the SDSS or recalibrated with compiled aperture
photometry ("recal", see Section 2.2 and Appendix A). Galaxies lacking
any label in this column have optical images with unreliable zero
points. Neither surface brightness profiles nor asymptotic magnitudes
are provided for these galaxies in the optical bands. However, we do
provide morphological estimators, since they are not affected by
zero-point errors.
Note (5): Petrosian radius at η=0.2, measured on the 3.6um images
(except for a few galaxies where no meaningful solution was found, and
the B-band images were used instead).

Note (1): The information for each galaxy is spread over 4 consecutive rows:
the Concentration index (C42), asymmetry (A), Gini coefficient (G)
and normalized second-order moment of the brightest 20% to the total
galaxy flux (M20) at different wavelengths, respectively.
Note (2): When the inner radius r20 needed to compute C42 is smaller
than the innermost point in our profiles (or the PSF size, in the case
of the 70 micron and 160 micron bands), the quoted values are just
lower limits for the actual concentration indices.
Note (3):
: = Take with caution since at the particular distance of each galaxy,
the FWHM of the PSF of the affected bands does not allow resolving
structures smaller than 0.5kpc.
