Abstract:
The paper presents a sample of double galaxies selected from The
Surface Photometry Catalog of the ESO-Uppsala Galaxies
(Cat. VII/115) using the Karachentsev (1972: K72, Cat. VII/77)
criteria. Considering the large and growing number of observing
facilities in that hemisphere, the sample aims to supply investigators
with targets as homogeneous as possible to those in the Northern
Catalog of Isolated Pairs of Galaxies (K72) which have been studied in
a large frequency range. The paper discusses the sample degree of
completeness, separation and velocity distributions. First inferences
are sketched from the morphological association of pair members and
from the study of the Holmberg effect. Being the primary purpose of
the paper to provide a tool to investigators, an Atlas of images for
the 301 best candidate pairs obtained using the Digitized Sky Survey
(The Digitized Sky Survey was produced at the Space Telescope Science
Institute (ST ScI) under U.S. Government grant NAG W-2166) is given.
The Atlas reports for each pair member the relevant data as obtained
from the current literature.

Note (1): Mean numerical index of stage along the Hubble sequence in RC2 system
Note (2): F: Data from Fairall & Jones (1991, Cat. VII/142)
dC: Data from da Costa, 1994, Priv. comm.
Note (3): Some of the galaxies in the field around above pairs are not in the
ESO-LV catalog because their diameter is lower than 1 arcmin.
Further, in a few cases, a single object (or what appears as a single
object) has two distinct entries in the catalog. Inspecting the
fields, using the Digitized Sky Survey, we classified such pairs in
the following way:
PG = possible group
PT = possible triplet
S = single disturbed
OP = optical pair
NO = object that we reject after inspection essentially because in
high density field
Note (4): + : Strengh of the K72 criteria satisfied by the pair
- : Strengh of the K72 criteria not satisfied by the pair
