cds-question@unistra.frgalaxy-clustersgalaxiescatalogsgalaxy-classification-systemsapparent-magnitudeA search for preferential galaxy alignments in the Pisces-Perseus Supercluster (PPS) is made using the Minnesota Automated Plate Scanner Pisces-Perseus Survey (MAPS-PP). The MAPS-PP is a catalog of ~1400 galaxies with a (roughly) isophotal diameter greater than 30" constructed from digitized scans of the blue and red plates of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey covering the PPS. This is the largest sample of galaxies applied to a search of galaxy alignments in this supercluster, and it has been used in combination with previously published redshifts to construct the deepest PPS galaxy luminosity function to date. While previous studies have relied extensively on catalogs with visually estimated parameters for both sample selection and determination of galaxy orientation, the MAPS-PP uses selection criteria and measurements that are entirely machine and computer based. Therefore, it is not susceptible to some of the biases, such as the diameter inclination effect, known to exist in some other galaxy catalogs. The presence of anisotropic galaxy distributions is determined by use of the Kuiper statistic, a robust alternative to the chi^2 statistic more traditionally used in these studies.1998AJ....116.1094Chttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/116/1094CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toVII/193 : The CfA Redshift Catalogue (ZCAT) (Huchra+ 1995)VII/198 : Mark III Catalog of Galaxy Peculiar Velocities (Willick+ 1997)J/A+A/286/17 : 21cm obs. of galaxies in Psc-Per Supercl.
