Abstract:
We present an all-sky catalog of 869 nearby galaxies having individual
distance estimates within 11Mpc or corrected radial velocities
VLG<600km/s. The catalog is a renewed and expanded version of the
Catalog of Neighboring Galaxies by Karachentsev et al (2004, cat.
J/AJ/127/2031). It collects data on the following galaxy observables:
angular diameters, apparent magnitudes in far-UV, B, and Ksbands,
Hα and HI fluxes, morphological types, HI-line widths, radial
velocities, and distance estimates. In this Local Volume (LV) sample,
108 dwarf galaxies still remain without measured radial velocities.
The catalog yields also calculated global galaxy parameters: linear
Holmberg diameter, absolute B magnitude, surface brightness, HI mass,
stellar mass estimated via K-band luminosity, HI rotational velocity
corrected for galaxy inclination, indicative mass within the Holmberg
radius, and three kinds of "tidal index," which quantify the local
density environment. The catalog is supplemented with data based on
the local galaxies, which presents their optical and available
Hα images, as well as other services. We briefly discuss the
Hubble flow within the LV and different scaling relations that
characterize galaxy structure and global star formation in them. We
also trace the behavior of the mean stellar mass density, HI-mass
density, and star formation rate density within the volume considered.
Description:
Our list of galaxies in the Local Volume (LV) consists of 869 objects.
This catalog is a renewed and expanded version of the Catalog of
Neighboring Galaxies (CNG) by Karachentsev et al (2004, cat.
J/AJ/127/2031). Compiling the updated catalog of nearby galaxies, we
generally followed the same sequence of presenting the observational
data. Moreover, the catalog includes new parameters (Hα emission
line fluxes, far-ultraviolet fluxes) that characterize the current
star formation activity in galaxies. In addition to this catalog, we
created an online database located at http://www.sao.ru/lv/lvgdb,
which accumulates both observed and calculated integral parameters of
the galaxies, presents galaxy images, and gives numerous references to
the sources of the observables. The structure of the LV galaxy
database is described by Kaisina et al. (2012AstBu..67..115K 2012AstBu..67..115K). The
list of 869 galaxies, included in the updated CNG catalog, is
presented in Table1. We used the original observational data of nearby
galaxies, compiled in Table1, to calculate their linear diameter,
integral luminosity, hydrogen mass, and other global parameters. These
characteristics are presented in Table2.

Note (1): Corresponding to the Holmberg isophote (∼26.5mag/arcsec2)
in B band. See text Section 3 for additional details.
Note (2): According to Schlegel et al. (1998ApJ...500..525S 1998ApJ...500..525S).
Note (3): According to data on the UV-survey performed at the Galaxy Evolution
Explorer (GALEX; Martin et al., 2005ApJ...619L...1M 2005ApJ...619L...1M, Gil de Paz et al.,
2007, cat. J/ApJS/173/185). For 295 galaxies the asymptotic Far UltraViolet
(FUV) magnitudes were taken from Lee et al. (2011, cat. J/ApJS/192/6) and
are presented in Table3 without correction for Galactic extinction. For
other galaxies, the GALEX data on the FUV-fluxes and FUV-magnitudes were
extracted from the NASA Extragalactic Database (NED), summing fluxes from
all structural knots within the optical galaxy image.
Note (4): Sources of which are listed in the LV database
(http://www.sao.ru/lv/lvgdb) as well as in Table 3. If a galaxy lacks the
photometric Bmag, its apparent magnitude was estimated by eye comparing
with images of other galaxies of similar structure with measured Bmag. In
such cases, as a rule for objects of low surface brightness, a typical
error of Bmag estimate amounts to ∼0.5mag.
Note (5): As seen in the Cousins R-band. Following the approach by Fukugita et
al. (1995PASP..107..945F 1995PASP..107..945F), we determined it as Hamag=-2.5log(FHa)-13.64
where FHa is the integral flux in the Hα line in units of
[erg/cm2/sec]. See Section 3 for additional details.
Note (6): The source of Ks data is the 2MASS Sky Survey (Jarrett et al.,
2000AJ....119.2498J 2000AJ....119.2498J, 2003AJ....125..525J 2003AJ....125..525J) supplemented by photometric
measurements from Fingerhut et al. (2010ApJ...716..792F 2010ApJ...716..792F), Vaduvescu et al.
2005AJ....130.1593V 2005AJ....130.1593V, 2006AJ....131.1318V 2006AJ....131.1318V). At the lack of accurate
photometry, K-magnitudes were estimated by apparent magnitudes in the
optical (B, V, R, I) or near-infrared (J, H) bands using synthetic color
indices of galaxies from Buzzoni (2005MNRAS.361..725B 2005MNRAS.361..725B) and Fukugita et al.
(1995PASP..107..945F 1995PASP..107..945F).
Note (7): flagged (*) galaxies have only their B magnitude, and thus the Ks
magnitude was determined by a relation between the average color index
<B-K> and morphological type (Jarrett et al., 2003AJ....125..525J 2003AJ....125..525J):
<B-K> = 4.10 for early-types E, S0, Sa;
<B-K> = 2.35 for late-types Sm, BCD, Ir; and
<B-K> = 4.60-0.25T for intermediate types T=3-8 in de Vaucouleurs scale.
Note (8): Where HImag=17.4-2.5logFHI, where the integral HI-flux, FHI, is
expressed in [Jy.km/s]. References to data sources on FHI are listed
in the Table 3 and in the LV database (http://www.sao.ru/lv/lvgdb).
Note (9): The main source of W50 data was LEDA, as well as the HIPASS and
ALFALFA surveys. The references to individual W50 measurements are
presented in Table5 and the LV database (http://www.sao.ru/lv/lvgdb).
Note (10): According to the numerical classification by de Vaucouleurs et al.
(1991, cat. VII/155). See Section 3 for additional details.
Note (11): In order to describe the morphology of dwarf galaxies in more detail,
we introduce a two-parameter scheme, which takes into account both the
surface brightness of a dwarf system (Tdw column), and its color (or the
presence of emission; Mcl column): (Ir, Im, or BCD)-blue;
(Tr, dS0em, or dEem)-mixed; and (Sph, or dE)-red. This diagram is
schematically shown in Figure 2. See Section 3 for additional details.
Note (12): References to them are given in Table4. As a rule, we selected
value of HRV having the smallest measurement error.

Note (13): At the Holmberg isophote, corrected for Galactic extinction and
inclination according to Fouque & Paturel (1985A&A...150..192F 1985A&A...150..192F).
Note (14): vAmp=W50/2sini. Adjusted for the inclination, where the HI line
width, W50, contains a correction for turbulent motions following
Tully & Fouque (1985ApJS...58...67T 1985ApJS...58...67T) scheme with a parameter
σz=10km/s.
Note (15): According to Verheijen (2001ApJ...563..694V 2001ApJ...563..694V):
ABi=[1.54+2.54(log(2vAmp)-2.5)]log(a/b), if 2vAmp>78km/s, otherwise AB=0.
Therefore, dwarf galaxies with vAmp<39km/s, as well as gas-poor E,
S0-galaxies without W50 estimates, were considered to be fully transparent
systems.
Note (16): Corrected for the Galactic and internal extinction.
Note (17): Within the Holmberg isophote. <Bmu> =Bmag+5log(a26)+8.63,
where the apparent magnitude (Bmag) and angular diameter (a26) are
corrected for extinction and inclination.
Note (18): Corrected for extinction. K-Kc=0.085(AB+ABi) (where
AB is the Galactic extinction in B band, and ABi is the internal
B band extinction), at absolute magnitude of the Sun MK☉=3.28
(Binney & Merrifield, eds. 1998, Galactic Astronomy, Princeton, NJ:
Princeton Univ. Press).
Note (19): Where the mass M26=3.31*104vAmp2*a26*Dist, where a26 is the
corrected angular diameter, vAmp is the amplitude of rotational
velocity, and Dist is the distance to the galaxy (Roberts & Haynes,
1994ARA&A..32..115R 1994ARA&A..32..115R).
Note (20): MHI=2.356*105*Dist2*FHI, where FHI is the integral HI-flux
(Roberts & Haynes, 1994ARA&A..32..115R 1994ARA&A..32..115R).
Note (21): Relative to the Local Group centroid with apex parameters
(Karachentsev & Makarov, 1996AJ....111..794K 1996AJ....111..794K) adopted in NED:
Vlg=HRV+316[sin(b)*sin(-4°)+cos(b)*cos(-4°)*cos(l-93°)],
where l and b are Galactic coordinates of the galaxy.
Note (22): Determined in Section 8 via distance and mass of the nearest
significant neighbor. Positive values of Θ1 indicate the
membership in groups, negative values correspond to isolated galaxies.
Note (23): The main disturber is the neighboring galaxy, producing the maximal
tidal influence on this galaxy. In fact, the set of objects in Table 2
with the same MD and Θ1>0 corresponds to a definition of physical
group of galaxies.
Note (24): Determined by five most important neighbors. Unlike Θ1, the
index Θ_5 seems to be a more robust feature of galaxy environment.
Note (25): Θj is defined at the logarithm of the Ks-band luminosity
density within 1Mpc around the galaxy, taken in units of the mean
global K-band luminosity density derived from 2MASS catalogue (see
2006MNRAS.369...25J 2006MNRAS.369...25J).
