FORTRAN Generation
(/./ftp/cats/J/AJ/135/588)

Conversion of standardized ReadMe file for file /./ftp/cats/J/AJ/135/588 into FORTRAN code for reading data files line by line.

Note that special values are assigned to unknown or unspecified numbers (also called NULL numbers); when necessary, the coordinate components making up the right ascension and declination are converted into floating-point numbers representing these angles in degrees.

      character*231 Note        ! Additional comments for source
*Note (1): The AGC entry (Cat. VIII/77) normally corresponds to an optical
*     counterpart except in the cases of HI sources which cannot be
*     associated with an optical object with any high degree of probability.
*     Numbers lower than 1000 are UGC number (Cat. VII/26).
*Note (2): Of the HI source, after correction for systematic telescope
*     pointing errors, which are on the order of 20". The accuracy of the 
*     HI positions depends on source strength. On average, the positional
*     accuracy is about 19".
*Note (3): Optical galaxy found to provide a reasonable optical counterpart.
*     Quality of centroids is estimated to be ~2" or better. The assessment
*     of optical identification is based on spatial proximity, optical
*     redshift (if available), morphology and color. For sources with no
*     discernible optical counterpart and those for which such assignment 
*     is ambiguous, due to the presence of more than one equally possible
*     optical counterpart, no optical position is listed.
*Note (4): Measured as the midpoint between the channels at which the flux
*     density drops to 50% of each of the two peaks (or of one, if only one
*     is present) at each side of the spectral feature.
*Note (5): This value is corrected for instrumental broadening. No
*     corrections due to turbulent motions, disk inclination or 
*     cosmological effects are applied.
*Note (6): Measured on the integrated spectrum, obtained by spatially
*     integrating the source image over a solid angle of at least 7'x7' 
*     and dividing by the sum of the survey beam values over the same 
*     set of image pixels.
*Note (7): Estimated as S/N=(1000Fc/W50)(w_smo_^1/2^/rms). Where w_smo_ is
*     either W50/(2x10) for W50<400km/s or 400/(2x10)=20 for W50{>=}400km/s
*     [w_smo_ is a smoothing width expressed as the number of spectral
*     resolution bins of 10km/s bridging half of the signal width].
*Note (8): The rms as measured over the signal- and rfi-free portions of the
*     spectrum, after Hanning smoothing to a spectral resolution of 10km/s.
*Note (9): For objects with cz>6000km/s, the distance is simply
*     cz_cmb_/H_0_; cz_cmb_ is the recession velocity measured in the Cosmic
*     Microwave Background reference frame and H_0_ is the Hubble constant,
*     for which we use a value of 70km/s/Mpc.  For objects of lower cz_cmb_,
*     we use the peculiar velocity model for the local universe of Masters
*     (Giovanelli et al., Paper II, 2005, Cat. J/AJ/130/2613), which is
*     based on data from the SFI++ catalog of galaxies (Springob et al.,
*     2007, Cat. J/ApJS/172/599).
*Note (10): Obtained by using the expression M_HI_=2.356x10^5^Dist^2^Fc.
*Note (11): Quality code as 1, 2 or 9:
*    1 = refers to sources of S/N and general qualities that make it a 
*        reliable detection.  See text for additional details.
*    2 = refers to sources of low S/N (<6.5), which would ordinarily not be
*        considered reliable detections by the criteria set for code 1.
*    9 = refers to objects assumed to be HVCs; no estimate of their
*        distances is made.
