Abstract:
We present HECATEv2, the second release of the Heraklion Extragalactic
Catalogue (HECATE), an all-sky, value-added galaxy catalogue
comprising 204733 galaxies from the HyperLEDA database with recession
velocity <14000km/s (D∼200Mpc). This release focuses on qualitative
upgrades of the provided information while maintaining the same parent
galaxy sample as HECATEv1. Improvements include a new cosmology-based
distance framework, expanded and homogenised optical and mid-infrared
photometry from SDSS-DR17/NSA, PS1-DR2, and AllWISE, and new
quality-control flags for stellar contamination, incorrect photometry,
and coordinate inconsistencies. We also extend the galaxy-size
coverage and derive stellar population parameters for a substantially
larger fraction of the sample. Star-formation rates (SFR) and stellar
masses (Mstar) are now available for >70% of galaxies using updated
mid-IR/optical calibrations that account for stellar population age
and dust attenuation, while gas-phase metallicities are derived for
∼90%. Activity classifications are provided for >50% of galaxies based
on spectroscopic and/or photometric diagnostics, and supermassive
black hole masses for ∼86%. In terms of LB, LKs, SFR, and Mstar ,
HECATEv2 is among the most complete local-Universe catalogues with
spectroscopic redshifts. We also provide spatial completeness maps as
a function of distance and luminosity, highlighting variations across
the sky. Compared to other catalogues (e.g. GLADE+, NED-LVS), HECATEv2
offers broader (optical, near- and far-IR photometry, metallicity,
activity classifications) or comparable (mid-IR photometry, SFR,
Mstar) coverage, making it a robust reference for studies of
SMBH-host galaxy connections, gravitational-wave and high-energy
transient hosts, population analyses, and rare galaxy subpopulations.
Description:
We provide three tables. The first one is the HECATEv2 catalogue which
is the second release of the Heraklion Extragalactic Catalogue
(HECATE), an all-sky, value-added galaxy catalogue comprising 204733
galaxies from the HyperLEDA database with recession velocity
<14000km/s (D∼200Mpc). In addition, we provide a table of the B-band,
Ks-band luminosities, SFR and Mstar completeness of HECATEv2 per
distance bin. Finally, we provide a table of the B-band luminosity,
the SFR and the Mstar completeness per distance bin and sky patch.

urSDSSDR17_noEBV = M/L using the W1 and SDSS u-r
grSDSSDR17_noEBV = M/L using the W1 and SDSS g-r
urSDSSDR17noEBVmedian = M/L using the W1 and the median u-r SDSS color.
Note (21): Method used for the derivation of the metallicity in HECATEv2
as follows:
O3N2/C20 = Spectroscopic calibration from (Curti et al., 2020MNRAS.491..944C 2020MNRAS.491..944C )
MZ/C20 = Mass-metallicity relation from (Curti et al., 2020MNRAS.491..944C 2020MNRAS.491..944C )
Note (22): Method used for the SMBH mass derivation as follows:
G20-Late = Mstar-MBH relation for late-type galaxies
(Greene et al., 2020ARA&A..58..257G 2020ARA&A..58..257G
G20-Early = Mstar-MBH relation for early-type galaxies
(Greene et al., 2020ARA&A..58..257G 2020ARA&A..58..257G
G20-All = Mstar-MBH relation for AGN-LINER galaxies
(Greene et al., 2020ARA&A..58..257G 2020ARA&A..58..257G
Note (23): Star contamination flag as follows:
S = Secure star
S? = Candidate star
Note (24): See the Appendix E of the paper for more details.
