Information on Service 'A Catalog of Galaxies in the Direction of the Perseus Cluster'

[Use this service from your browser]

Further access options are discussed below

This is a catalog of 5437 morphologically classified sources in the direction of the Perseus galaxy cluster core, among them 496 early-type low-mass galaxy candidates. The catalog is primarily based on V-band imaging data acquired with the William Herschel Telescope. Additionally, we used archival Subaru multiband imaging data in order to measure aperture colors and to perform a morphological classification. The catalog reaches its 50 per cent completeness limit at an absolute V-band luminosity of -12 mag and a V-band surface brightness of 26 mag arcsec^-2 . In addition to the published table, this service also contains cutout images of the objects investigated.

VOTable Output Fields

The following fields are available in VOTable output. The verbosity level is a number intended to represent the relative importance of the field on a scale of 1 to 30. The services take a VERB argument. A field is included in the output if their verbosity level is less or equal VERB*10.
