Continuing to improve our understanding of these systems requires ever larger samples, which can be difficult (even impossible) to select from individual surveys. We use the new platform ESA Datalabs to assemble a catalog of interacting galaxies from the Hubble Space Telescope science archives; this catalog is larger than previously published catalogs by nearly an order of magnitude. In particular, we apply the Zoobot convolutional neural network directly to the entire public archive of HST F814W images and make probabilistic interaction predictions for 126 million sources from the Hubble Source Catalog. We employ a combination of automated visual representation and visual analysis to identify a clean sample of 21,926 interacting galaxy systems, mostly with z<1. Sixty-five percent of these systems have no previous references in either the NASA Extragalactic Database or Simbad. In the process of removing contamination, we also discover many other objects of interest, such as gravitational lenses, edge-on protoplanetary disks, and "backlit" overlapping galaxies. We briefly investigate the basic properties of this sample, and we make our catalog publicly available for use by the community. In addition to providing a new catalog of scientifically interesting objects imaged by HST, this work also demonstrates the power of the ESA Datalabs tool to facilitate substantial archival analysis without placing a high computational or storage burden on the end user.2023ApJ...948...40Ohttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/948/40CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/261 : GOODS initial results (Giavalisco+, 2004)II/342 : Hubble Source Catalog (V1 and V2) (Whitmore+, 2016)VII/74 : Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (Arp 1966)VII/205 : Faint Interacting Galaxies (de Mello+ 1997)J/A+A/424/371 : 1.4GHz First Look Survey (FLS) (Morganti+, 2004)J/AJ/129/682 : Structural data of S+S galaxies (Hernandez-Toledo+, 2005)J/AJ/130/2647 : Tidal features of nearby red galaxies (van Dokkum+, 2005)J/ApJ/682/1020 : X-ray sources in NGC 4194 and NGC 7541 (Kaaret+, 2008)J/AJ/137/383 : Globulars in PGC 6510, PGC 10922, PGC 4287 (Maybhate+, 2009)J/MNRAS/407/2399 : AGN activity and black hole mass (McKernan+, 2010)J/ApJS/186/427 : Detailed morphology of SDSS galaxies (Nair+, 2010)J/ApJ/750/140 : Candidate globular clusters in NGC 1316 (Goudfrooij, 2012)J/MNRAS/435/2835 : Morphological types from Galaxy Zoo 2 (Willett+, 2013)J/ApJ/788/55 : HST/WFC3 SNR discoveries in M83 (NGC5236) (Blair+, 2014)J/ApJ/825/L22 : BVRI LCs of type Ib supernova iPTF13bvn (Folatelli+, 2016)J/ApJ/838/110 : Spectroscopic survey of ZwCl 0008.8+5215 (Golovich+, 2017)J/MNRAS/479/415 : Galaxy mergers sample (Ackermann+, 2018)J/ApJS/235/23 : LEGUS galaxies1 observations (Sabbi+, 2018)J/ApJS/243/17 : Strong DES lens cand. from neural networks (Jacobs+, 2019)J/ApJS/247/12 : Strong lens models for 37 clusters from SGAS (Sharon+, 2020)J/ApJ/909/192 : HST/ACS photometry of Eridanus II (Gallart+, 2021)J/ApJS/256/40 : HST imaging survey of low-z Swift-BAT AGNs (Kim+, 2021)J/ApJ/908/18 : HST stellar photometry of Eridanus II (Simon+, 2021)J/ApJ/930/81 : HST follow-up of a strong failed SN cand.
