Abstract:
The entire KG (KG) catalog is presented which combines extensive
new measurements of their optical parameters with a literature and
database search. The measurements were made using images extracted
from the STScI Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) of Jpg(blue), Fpg(red) and
Ipg(NIR) band photographic sky survey plates obtained by the Palomar
and UK Schmidt telescopes. We provide accurate coordinates,
morphological type, spectral and activity classes, blue apparent
diameters, axial ratios, position angles, red, blue and NIR apparent
magnitudes, as well as counts of neighboring objects in a circle of
radius 50kpc from centers of KG. Special attention was paid to the
individual descriptions of the galaxies in the original Kazarian
lists, which clarified many cases of misidentifications of the
objects, particularly among interacting systems. The total number of
individual Kazarian objects in the database is now 706. We also
include the redshifts which are now available for 404 galaxies, and
the 2MASS infrared magnitudes for 598 KG. The database also includes
extensive notes, which summarize information about the membership of
KG in different systems of galaxies, and about revised activity
classes and redshifts. An atlas of several interesting subclasses of
KG is also presented.
Description:
Images extracted from the STScI Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) of Fpg(red)
Jpg(blue), and Ipg(NIR) band photographic sky survey plates obtained
by the Palomar and UK Schmidt telescopes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): As it appears in the original lists. For objects newly added to
the database, we add an 'a' or 'b' letter designation (e.g. Kaz72a and
Kaz72b). In all cases, the eastern galaxy or component is labelled
'a', and the western galaxy or component with 'b'.
Note (2): The numerical coding used here for the morphological description
of the galaxies is a slightly modified and simplified version of the
morphological types T given in the RC3 catalog.
The codes used are:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-5 = E 1 = Sa 6 = Scd 10 = Im 14 = Compact
-3 = E/S0 2 = Sab 7 = Sd 11 = Im/BCD 15 = Interacting/Merger
-2 = S0 3 = Sb 8 = Sdm 12 = BCD/Im 16 = HII region
-1 = S0/a 4 = Sbc 9 = Sm 13 = BCD
0 = S 5 = Sc
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The additional morphological remarks include a 'B' for the presence
of a bar.
Note (3): Description of the morphology of spectra, according to the
Kazarian et al., 2008 catalog. For newly added Kazarian objects
spectral classes are from descriptions of these objects in the
original lists. The description uses:
* letters: s = stellar, d = diffuse and intermediate 'sd' and 'ds'
* numbers: 1, 2 and 3 for the degree of UV meission.
Note (4): Activity class as follows:
Sy = Seyfert galaxy
Sy1 = Seyfert type 1 galaxy
Sy1.5 = Seyfert type 1.5 galaxy
Sy2 = Seyfert type 2 galaxy
Sy3 = LINERs
SB = starburst
HII = HII nuclei
WR = galaxies with Wolf-Rayet futures in their spectra
AGN = nuclei activity
NLAGN = nuclei activity
QSO = QSOs
BL = BL Lacertae objects
LIRG = luminous infrared galaxy, for Kaz 348 galaxy
e = emission-line galaxy
a = absorption-line galaxy
Note (5): Measured from North (PA=0 degrees) toward East between 0 and 180°.
Note (6): 'n' indicates a Markarian galaxy with redshift smaller than 0.005
and no neighbor counts were performed
Note (7): For 598 galaxies 2MASX (e.g. Jarrett et al., 2000AJ....119.2498J 2000AJ....119.2498J)
total J, H and K magnitudes are listed.
