cds-question@unistra.frquasarsgalaxiesspectroscopyredshiftedline-intensitiesabsolute-magnitudeWe describe the MgII Absorber-Galaxy Catalog, MAGIICAT, a compilation of 182 spectroscopically identified intermediate redshift (0.07<=z<=1.1) galaxies with measurements of MgII {lambda}{lambda}2796,2803 absorption from their circumgalactic medium within projected distances of 200kpc from background quasars. In this work, we present "isolated" galaxies, which are defined as having no spectroscopically identified galaxy within a projected distance of 100kpc and a line of sight velocity separation of 500km/s. We standardized all galaxy properties to the {Lambda}CDM cosmology and galaxy luminosities, absolute magnitudes, and rest-frame colors to the B- and K-band on the AB system. We present galaxy properties and rest-frame MgII equivalent width, W_r_(2796), versus galaxy redshift. The well-known anti-correlation between W_r_(2796) and quasar-galaxy impact parameter, D, is significant to the 8{sigma} level. The mean color of MAGIICAT galaxies is consistent with an Sbc galaxy for all redshifts. We also present B- and K-band luminosity functions for different W_r_(2796) and redshift subsamples: "weak absorbing" [W_r_(2796)<0.3{AA}], "strong absorbing" [W_r_(2796)>=0.3{AA}], low redshift (z{<}<z>), and high redshift (z{>=}<z>), where <z> = 0.359 is the median galaxy redshift. Rest-frame color B-K correlates with M_K_ at the 8{sigma} level for the whole sample but is driven by the strong absorbing, high-redshift subsample (6{sigma}). Using M_K_ as a proxy for stellar mass and examining the luminosity functions, we infer that in lower stellar mass galaxies, MgII absorption is preferentially detected in blue galaxies and the absorption is more likely to be weak.2013ApJ...776..114Nhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/776/114CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/A+A/546/A67 : Catalog of strong MgII absorbers (Lawther+, 2012)J/ApJ/754/38 : MgII absorption systems for FSRQs (Chand+, 2012)J/ApJ/748/131 : MgII absorbers in SDSS-DR7 quasar catalog (Shen+, 2012)J/ApJ/727/47 : The MgII cross-section of red galaxies (Bowen+, 2011)J/ApJ/724/L176 : MgII absorbing gas around galaxies (Chen+, 2010)J/ApJ/714/1521 : Spectroscopy of galaxies around distant QSOs (Chen+, 2010)J/ApJ/698/819 : MgII and LRGs cross-correlation analysis (Lundgren+, 2009)J/ApJ/679/239 : Associated MgII absorbers (Vanden+, 2008)J/ApJ/660/1093 : Weak MgII absorbers at 0.4<z<2.4 (Narayanan+, 2007)J/ApJ/639/766 : SDSS-DR3 strong MgII absorbers (Prochter+, 2006)J/MNRAS/371/495 : Catalog of 1806 MgII absorbers from SDSS DR3 (Bouche+, 2006)J/MNRAS/354/L25 : MgII absorbers in SDSS QSOs (Bouche+, 2004)J/A+A/410/33 : MgII/FeII absorbers in 2dF-quasar survey (Menard+, 2003)J/ApJ/559/654 : Ly{alpha} absorption systems.
