Abstract:
We introduce a value-added full-sky catalogue of galaxies, named as
Galaxy List for the Advanced Detector Era, or GLADE. The purpose of
this catalogue is to (i) help identifications of host candidates for
gravitational-wave events, (ii) support target selections for
electromagnetic follow-up observations of gravitational-wave
candidates, (iii) provide input data on the matter distribution of the
local Universe for astrophysical or cosmological simulations, and (iv)
help identifications of host candidates for poorly localized
electromagnetic transients, such as gamma-ray bursts observed with the
InterPlanetary Network. Both being potential hosts of astrophysical
sources of gravitational waves, GLADE includes inactive and active
galaxies as well. GLADE was constructed by cross-matching and
combining data from five separate (but not independent) astronomical
catalogues: GWGC, 2MPZ, 2MASS XSC, HyperLEDA, and SDSS-DR12Q. GLADE is
complete up to dL=37+3-4Mpc in terms of the cumulative B-band
luminosity of galaxies within luminosity distance dL, and contains all
of the brightest galaxies giving half of the total B-band luminosity
up to dL=91Mpc. As B-band luminosity is expected to be a tracer of
binary neutron star mergers (currently the prime targets of joint
GW+EM detections), our completeness measures can be used as
estimations of completeness for containing all binary neutron star
merger hosts in the local Universe.
Description:
In the construction of GLADE, we started with cross-matching five
separate (but not independent) astronomical catalogues: the GWGC
(White et al., 2011, Cat. VII/267), the HyperLEDA catalogue (Makarov
et al., 2014A&A...570A..13M 2014A&A...570A..13M, leda.univ-lyon1.fr), the 2 Micron All-Sky
Survey Extended Source Catalog (2MASS XSC, Cat. VII/233, see Skrutskie
et al., 2006AJ....131.1163S 2006AJ....131.1163S), the 2MASS Photometric Redshift Catalog
(2MPZ, ssa.roe.ac.uk/TWOMPZ.html, see Bilicki et al.,
2014ApJS..210....9B 2014ApJS..210....9B), and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasar
catalogue from the 12th data release6 (SDSS-DR12Q, see Paris et al.,
2017A&A...597A..79P 2017A&A...597A..79P, Cat. VII/279).

Note (1): Object type flag as follows:
Q = the source is from the SDSS-DR12 QSO catalog
C = the source is a globular cluster
G = the source is from another catalog and not identified as a globular cluster
Note (2): Luminosity distance measurement flag as follows:
0 = the galaxy had neither measured distance nor measured redshift value
1 = the galaxy had measured redshift value, from which we have calculated
distance using the following cosmological parameters:
H0=70km/s/Mpc, OmegaM=0.27 and OmegaLambda=0.73
2 = the galaxy had measured distance value from which we have calculated
redshift using the following cosmological parameters:
H0=70km/s/Mpc, OmegaM=0.27 and OmegaLambda=0.73
3 = The measured photometric redshift of the galaxy has been changed to
spectroscopic redshift, from which we have calculated distance using the
following cosmological parameters:
H0=70km/s/Mpc, OmegaM=0.27 and OmegaLambda=0.73
Note (3): Velocity correction flag as follows:
0 = velocity field correction has not been applied to the object
1 = we have subtracted the radial velocity of the object
