cds-question@unistra.frsurveysgalaxiescatalogsphotometryWe studied the r'-, z'-, and y'-band images of merging galaxies from the observations of the Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS). The merging galaxies were selected from our merging catalog that was created by checking the images of the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey 2 from the observations of the Canada France Hawaii Telescope By using the homomorphic-aperture, we determined the photometric results of these merging systems. To obtain accurate photometry, we calibrated the Pan-STARRS r'-, z'-, and y'-band data to match the results of Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 9. We also investigated the stellar masses of the merging galaxies by comparing the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer 3.4um emission with the calibrated y'-band data. We present a catalog of the r'-, z'-, and y'-band photometric results for 4698 merging galaxies. For extended sources, our results suggest that the homomorphic-aperture method can obtain more reasonable results than the Desktop Virtual Observatory photometry. We derived new relations between the Pan-STARRS y'-band luminosities and the stellar masses of the merging galaxies. Our results show that the stellar masses of the merging galaxies range from 10^8^ to 10^13^M_{sun}_; some of the dry mergers could be as massive as 10^13^M_{sun}_.2017A&A...600A..28Lhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/600/A28CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/600/A28https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/600/A28http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/600/A28https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/600/A28https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/600/A28http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/600/A28GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/600/A28/table1 (List of composite photometric results of 4,698 merging galaxies)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/600/A28/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/600/A28/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/600/A28/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true7.5382657-3.41507630.0055555555555555564/518 1193 5/2061 2063 2065-2066 2070 2076 2359 2401-2403 2409 4323-4324 4328-4329 4413 4415 4456 4458-4459 4493-4494 4501 4507 4510 4516 4528 4530 4533-4534 4537 4544 4679 4687 4691 4697-4700 4747 4749 4751 4760 4762-4763 4769 4771 4781 4784-4785 4788 4792 5761 6577 6/6043 6055 6061 6063-6065 6067 6072 6074 6080 6082 6121 7429 7440 7443-7444 7446 7448-7449 7451 8223 8257-8259 8269-8271 8274 8284 8286 8308 8341 8384 8386 9431 9461 9515 9518 9601-9603 9632-9633 9635 9641 9644 17211 17214 17287 17291 17300-17302 17304-17306 17320-17321 17323-17326 17328 17330 17341-17343 17386 17631 17651 17656-17657 17659 17800 17802-17803 17828 17830 17848 17850 17950-17951 17966-17967 17969 17971 17980 17982 17994 18001 18016 18025-18027 18034 18046 18053 18055 18068-18069 18071 18077 18079 18116-18118 18126-18127 18131 18140 18144-18145 18156 18160 18180 18182 18184-18185 18192 18705-18709 18711-18713 18715 18737-18740 18742-18745 18747 18755 18758-18762 18776 18778-18779 18785-18787 18808 18837 18880 18966-18967 18969-18974 18983 18987 18992 18994 19000-19001 19003 19016 19018-19019 19044 19046 19064 19066-19067 19073 19109 19120-19121 19123 19132-19133 19135 19144-19145 19147-19150 19160 19178 22667-22668 22670 22688-22690 22713 22715-22718 23053 23056-23058 26127 26136 26138-26139 26223 26234 26316 26320 26925-26927 26938 27012-27013 31467 31470-31471 36328 36343 36614-36615 36621 36625-36626 36628 36632 36634 36645https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/600/A28?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/A+A/600/A28/table1List of composite photometric results of 4,698 merging galaxiesrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
