cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiescatalogsphotometrysurface-photometrysurveys(of PhD Thesis, from Minessota) I am using the Minnesota Automated Plate Scanner (APS) to construct two galaxy catalogs. The Minnesota Automated Plate Scanner Pisces-Perseus Survey (MAPS-PP) is used to search for modern-day remnant signatures of large-scale structure formation processes, specifically, galaxy alignments relative to surrounding large-scale structure. Weak evidence for such alignments is found, although the type of alignments seen don't strongly support any one large-scale structure formation model. Comparison of the MAPS-PP to pre-existing galaxy catalogs has led to the discovery that the Uppsala General Catalog and Third Reference Catalog of Galaxies exhibit a very strong measurement bias: their diameters are measured to different isophotes at different galaxy inclinations. Therefore previous determinations of the diameter function and the internal extinction properties of other galaxies (most of which have relied on one of these two galaxy catalogs) have suffered from a biased diameter measurement. I avoid this bias by using the APS data (which is obtained using automated computer-based criteria for measuring the structural properties of images digitized from photographic plates) to construct a catalog of over 200,000 galaxies within 30 degrees of the North Galactic Pole (the MAPS-NGP). The MAPS-NGP is the deepest galaxy catalog constructed over such a large area of the sky and used to re-evaluate previous investigations of the internal extinction in galaxies.Ph.D. Thesis, University of Minnesota (1999)https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/VII/214CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-tohttp://aps.umn.edu/ : APS home pageVII/204 : Galaxy properties at NGP (Odewahn+ 1995)J/ApJ/473/822 : APS Catalog of Galaxies behind Virgo (Hoffman+ 1996)J/AJ/87/1165 : Reddening Maps from HI and Galaxy Counts (Burstein+ 1982)J/AJ/116/1094 : MAPS-PP catalog of galaxies (Cabanela+, 1998)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=VII/214https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=VII/214http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=VII/214https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=VII/214https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=VII/214http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=VII/214GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table VII/214/aps (The MAPSNGP Catalogue)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/VII/214/aps?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/VII/214/aps?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/VII/214/aps?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true186.802318531.9188570.0055555555555555562/21 40 41 42 103 108 109 111 3/81 83 137 138 139 140 142 172 173 409 411 440 441 443 4/320 321 323 369 373 521 522 523 524 526 527 539 544 545 546 564 566 572 574 575 618 696 697 698 700 701 704 706 712 713 738 1599 1626 1627 1629 1630 1631 1642 1684 1685 1687 1693 1695 1717 1719 1768 1769 1771 5/1289 1291 1316 1317 1319 1325 1429 1472 1473 1475 1484 1488 1489 1491 1497 1499 1500 2058 2074 2080 2082 2083 2102 2154 2155 2170 2188 2189 2190 2262 2268 2270 2292 2294 2295 2466 2796 2797 2808 2809 2811 2812 2822 2828 2830 2856 2857 2859 2860 2944 2976 6391 6395 6455 6461 6462 6463 6495 6496 6498 6499 6514 6515 6535 6540 6541 6543 6562 6573 6574 6575 6769 6770 6771 6777 6867 6873 6901 7081 7083 6/4439 4444 4445 4447 5152 5153 5155 5273 5309 5696 5697 5699 5700 5701 5702 5713 5724 5725 5727 5896 5924 5925 5927 5933 5935 5940 5944 5960 5961 5963 5985 5987 5993 5995 6004 6008 6081 6084 8253 8254 8255 8290 8302 8324 8326 8327 8402 8414 8603 8606 8610 8615 8674 8686 8764 8765 8766 9042 9054 9076 9077 9078 9172 9174 9175 9868 9870 9871 9904 9906 9907 9912 9913 9914 11192 11193 11196 11197 11240 11241 11252 11256 11282 11294 11316 11324 11326 11327 11432 11433 11435 11444 11448 11456 11458 11459 11464 11780 11784 11786 11824 11826 11832 11908 11912 25559 25563 25575 25579 25815 25819 25835 25837 25838 25839 25841 25842 25843 25974 25975 25977 25978 25979 25990 26010 26051 26053 26054 26055 26135 26139 26169 26242 26254 26261 26271 26290 26291 26903 26980 26981 26983 26989 26991 27075 27105 27117 27463 27467 27489 27501 27503 27600 27601 27603 27612 27613 27615 28320 28321 28323 28331https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/VII/214?format=asciiOpticaldefaultVII/214/apsThe MAPSNGP CatalogueEnameE image raster number (1)meta.id.associntrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
