An image database. II. Catalogue between δ=-30deg and δ=70deg.
A preliminary list of 68.040 galaxies was built from extraction of35.841 digitized images of the Palomar Sky Survey (Paper I). For eachgalaxy, the basic parameters are obtained: coordinates, diameter, axisratio, total magnitude, position angle. On this preliminary list, weapply severe selection rules to get a catalog of 28.000 galaxies, wellidentified and well documented. For each parameter, a comparison is madewith standard measurements. The accuracy of the raw photometricparameters is quite good despite of the simplicity of the method.Without any local correction, the standard error on the total magnitudeis about 0.5 magnitude up to a total magnitude of B_T_=17. Significantsecondary effects are detected concerning the magnitudes: distance toplate center effect and air-mass effect.
| An apparent increase of the Hubble constant with velocities of the determining galaxies
A study is conducted of the variation of the Hubble constant derivedfrom the Bottinelli et al. (1983) version of the Tully-Fisher relationwith respect to kinematic distances D(v) in an infall model towardVirgo. The sample of 256 galaxies used encompasses types Sab to Sd. Itis noted that, before or after correction of the type effect, the Hubbleconstant increases from approximately log H(0) of 1.78 at D(v) of 250km/sec to 2.08 at 5000 km/sec. Attention is given to such differentpossible explanations for this as galactic extinction, the Malmquistbias, TF relation slope, and an inadequate model.
