Abstract:
A database for the entire catalog of the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS)
galaxies is presented. It contains new measurements of their optical
parameters and additional information taken from the literature and
other databases. The measurements were made using Ipg(near-infrared),
Fpg(red) and Jpg(blue) band images from photographic sky survey plates
obtained by the Palomar Schmidt telescope and extracted from the
STScI Digital Sky Survey (DSS). The database provides accurate
coordinates, morphological type, spectral and activity classes,
apparent magnitudes and diameters, axial ratios, and position angles,
as well as number counts of neighboring objects in a circle of radius
50kpc. The total number of individual SBS objects in the database is
now 1676. The 188 Markarian galaxies which were re-discovered by SBS
are not included in this database. We also include redshifts that are
now available for 1576 SBS objects, as well as 2MASS infrared
magnitudes for 1117 SBS galaxies.
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 telescope.

Note (1): As it appears in the original lists (Stepanian, 2005RMxAA..41..155S 2005RMxAA..41..155S)
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 as
in the codes.date file
Note (3): According to Stepanian, 2005RMxAA..41..155S 2005RMxAA..41..155S.
Note (4): Activity class, when available, or description of the spectra
according to (Stepanian, 2005RMxAA..41..155S 2005RMxAA..41..155S) and DR7 of SDSS. The
various Seyfert classes are denoted by 'Sy1', 'Sy1.5', 'Sy1.8',
'Sy1.9' and 'Sy2'. The symbol 'Sy3' refers to LINERs. Starburst and
HII nuclei respectively are indicated by 'SB' and 'HII'. QSOs and BL
Lacertae objects are also identified.
Note (5): Measured from North (PA=0 degrees) toward East between 0 and
180deg. For round galaxies with axial ratio R(J)∼1.00 position angles
were not measured.
Note (6): 'nd' indicates a Markarian galaxy with redshift smaller than
0.005 and no neighbor counts were performed.
Note (7): For 1117 galaxies 2MASX (e.g. Jarrett et al. 2000AJ....119.2498J 2000AJ....119.2498J)
total J, H and K magnitudes are listed.
