Abstract:
A catalog of central velocity dispersion measurements is presented,
current through 1993 September. The catalog includes 2474 measurements
of 1563 (*) galaxies. A standard set of 86 galaxies is defined,
consisting of galaxies with at least three reliable concordant
measurements. It is suggested that future studies observe some of
these standard galaxies so that different studies can be normalised to
a consistent system. All measurements are reduced to a normalized
system using these standards.
(*) Actually 1562 galaxies.
