Abstract:
We present the new catalog of principal galaxies (PGC2003). It
constitutes the framework of the HYPERLEDA database that supersedes
the LEDA one, with more data and more capabilities. The catalog is
still restricted to confirmed galaxies, i.e. about one million
galaxies, brighter than 18B-mag.
In order to provide the best possible identification for each galaxy
we give: accurate coordinates (typical accuracy better than 2 arcsec),
diameter, axis ratio and position angle. Diameters and axis ratios
have been homogenized to the RC2 system at the limiting surface
brightness of 25B-mag/arcsec^2^, using a new method, the EPIDEMIC
method.
In order to provide the best designation for each galaxy, we collected
the names from 50 catalogues. The compatibility of the spelling is
tested against NED and SIMBAD, and, as far as possible we used a
spelling compatible with both. For some cases, where no consensus
exists between NED, SIMBAD and LEDA, we propose some changes that
could make the spelling of names fully compatible.
The full catalog is distributed through the CDS and can be extracted
from HYPERLEDA, http://leda.univ-lyon1.fr/ .
