Circumnuclear star-forming activities along the Hubble sequence
In order to study circumnuclear star-forming activity along the Hubblesequence, we cross-correlated the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release2 (SDSS DR2) with the Third Reference Catalog of Bright Galaxies (RC3)to derive a large sample of 1015 galaxies with both morphological andspectral information. Among these, 385 sources are classified asstar-forming galaxies, and the SDSS fibre covered the circumnuclearregions (0.2-2.0 kpc). By using the spectral synthesis method to removethe contribution from the underlying old stellar population, we measuredthe emission lines fluxes accurately, which are then used to estimatethe star-formation rates(SFRs). Our main findings are: (1) early-typespirals show much higher Hα luminosities, and hence higher SFRs,and also suffer more extinctions than late-type ones. The equivalentwidths (EWs) of Hα emission lines show a similar trend; however,the very late types (Sdm ~ Irr) do have large fractions of high EWs; (2)we confirm that D_n(4000) shows a strong correlation with the strengthsof metallic absorption lines (such as CN band, G band, and Mg Ib). Boththese lines and the Balmer absorption lines show interesting variationsbetween Sbc and Sd type galaxies; (3) the bar structure tightly relatesto the enhanced star formation activity, an effect that is even moresignificant in the early-type spirals. But we should note that the barstructure is not a necessary or sufficient condition for galaxies toharbor circumnuclear star formations.
| Arcsecond Positions of UGC Galaxies
We present accurate B1950 and J2000 positions for all confirmed galaxiesin the Uppsala General Catalog (UGC). The positions were measuredvisually from Digitized Sky Survey images with rms uncertaintiesσ<=[(1.2")2+(θ/100)2]1/2,where θ is the major-axis diameter. We compared each galaxymeasured with the original UGC description to ensure high reliability.The full position list is available in the electronic version only.
| Neutral hydrogen observations of galaxies in superclusters
Neutral hydrogen observations of spiral galaxies in the Uppsala GeneralCatalog were made with the 91 m telescope in Green Bank. Results of theH I observations are presented for 309 objects north of declination +38deg in the right ascension range between 10 h and 22 h and for a sampleof 46 objects just south of the equator in the region around R.A.between 0 h and 3 h. Many of these objects are outlying members ofsuperclusters and may be useful in the study of deviations from Hubbleflow on supercluster scales. Velocity widths as measured by fivedifferent algorithms are presented along with a profile quality index.
| HI observations of galaxies in nearby Zwicky clusters
The results of a long term project of H I observations of galaxieswithin the boundaries of nearby Zwicky clusters are presented. Thedetection rate is rather low (233 out of 618, i.e., 38 percent) ascompared to other surveys carried out recently. Most of the radialvelocities of the detected galaxies are new determinations. The largespread in radial velocities for many of these clusters is a strongindication for the presence of several foreground and/or backgroundgalaxies.
