Abstract
The 15467 southern galaxies in this catalog were scanned from 407 blue
and 407 red original ESO-Schmidt plates using a PDS microdensitometer.
The galaxies were selected from the ESO-Uppsala Catalogue (VII/34). The
original selection criterion was a minimum visual angular diameter of
1arcmin. The plates were calibrated using a catalog of photo- electric
standards of 1700 standard galaxies transformed to a photometric
standard system (Cousins) created by the authors. The result is a
catalog acquired in a homogeneous fashion for all types of galaxies in
various environments. The extracted parameters include radial surface
brightness profiles, magnitudes at several isophotal levels, colors,
color gradients, effective radius parameters, structural parameters such
as axial ratios, position angles, and profile gradients.
The full version of the catalog, made of 190 columns, is available as
the file "esolv.fit" in FITS table format. The ascii file "esolv1.dat"
contains a subset of these columns which includes those parameters
listed in the printed book version. Detailed discussion of the catalog
creation is given in the published book version (ISBN 3-923524-31-5)
(2 data files).
