Galaxy and stellar images have been located from glass copy plates of the United Kingdom Schmidt Telescope (UKST) IIIaJ sky survey using the Automated Photographic Measuring (APM) facility in Cambridge, England. The majority of stellar images are rejected by the regularity of their image surface brightness profiles. Remaining images are inspected by eye on film copies of the survey material and classed as stellar, multiple stellar, galaxy, merger or noise. Galaxies are further classified as elliptical, lenticular, spiral, irregular or uncertain. The 180 survey fields are put onto a uniform photometric system by comparing the magnitudes of galaxies in the overlap regions between neighbouring plates. The magnitude zero-point, photometric uniformity and photographic saturation are checked with CCD photometry. Finally, the completeness and reliability of the catalogue is assessed using various internal tests and by comparing with several independently constructed galaxy catalogues. 1996MNRAS.278.1025L https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/MNRAS/278/1025 Catalog Research IsServedBy TAP VizieR generic service IsServedBy Conesearch service https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.html https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/278/1025 https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/278/1025 http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/MNRAS/278/1025 https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/278/1025 https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/278/1025 http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/MNRAS/278/1025 GET text/xml+votable https://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tap Cone search capability for table J/MNRAS/278/1025/galaxy (Galaxies in APM-BGC) https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/278/1025/galaxy? https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/278/1025/galaxy? http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/MNRAS/278/1025/galaxy?
