CDROM/AJ/V105/P1251 Pisces-Perseus Supercluster. V. (Wegner+ 1993) ================================================================================ A Survey of the Pisces-Perseus Supercluster. V. The Declination Strip +33.5 deg to +39.5 deg and the Main Supercluster Ridge Gary Wegner, Martha P. Haynes & Riccardo Giovanelli <1993, AJ, 105, 1251> =1993AJ....105.1251W ================================================================================ Abstract: Measurements of 544 radial velocities, 229 optical and 315 in the 21 cm H I line, are presented for galaxies, mostly in the declination strip +33.5 deg < Dec < +39.5 deg in the region of the Pisces-Perseus supercluster. These are combined with other available data to investigate the linear structure identified as the main supercluster ridge. The main ridge of the supercluster extends at least 50 h^-1 Mpc before it disappears into the zone of avoidance east of Perseus. Confinement both on the plane of the sky and in the velocity dimension imply an axial ratio of greater than ten to one and an inclination with respect to the plane of the sky of less than about 12 degrees. The smoothed volume density contrast over the whole ridge averages more than a factor of 6 relative to the average density derived for the whole sample. The relative proximity, low inclination to the plane of the sky, and high contrast relative to the foreground and background, help to make the Pisces-Perseus filament one of the most prominent features in the extragalactic sky on large scales.

For galaxies brighter than m=14.5, positions were obtained from Dressel & Condon 1976 [ApJS, 31, 187]. For others, coordinates were obtained from the CGCG or, when higher accuracy than that of the CGCG is manifest, they were obtained from the Palomar Sky Survey (PSS) prints using a standard overlay program, with an estimated accuracy of 10". Morph: Morphological type code index based on the simple scheme: 0 - Elliptical, 1 - SO, 3 - Sa, 5 - Sb, 7 - Sc, 9 - Irregular, 10 - Peculiar, with intermediate types allowed. A "B" indicates the presence of a bar. MajAxis, MinAxis: Major and minor diameters from the UGC where available or else measured by eye from the PSS prints. Inc: Inclination derived from the axial ratio following Haynes & Giovanelli [1984, AJ, 89, 758]; hereafter referred to as HG84 m_c: Corrected magnitude, m(c), after applying the corrections for galactic and internal extinction, redshift and systematic effects as discussed by HG84. Sigma: For emission line-derived redshifts, the standard deviation of the mean for all the lines measured, or +/- 60 km/s, which is the estimated error for a single line in this sample. For absorption line-derived redshifts, errors are estimated from the JKFOUR program, to a minimum acceptable value of +/- 25 km/s. Lines: A simple indicator of whether the spectral features used to derive the redshift were seen in emission (e) or absorption (a). For a handful of galaxies, velocities were derived from two absorption line spectra (x) and combining both absorption and emission lines (y). V0: Local Group velocity, V(0), assuming a correction for the Sun's motion of 300 sin l cos b, where l and b are the galactic longitude and latitude. Lum: Luminosity, h^2 L, in logarithmic solar units, derived from m(c) and V(0). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Byte-by-byte Description of file: table2.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 7 A7 --- CGCG *Identification in the CGCG 8- 13 I6 --- UGC Uppsala General Catalogue (UGC) entry number 14 A1 --- m_UGC UGC component designation 15 A1 --- NI_Cat [NI] NGC or IC catalog indicator 16- 19 I4 --- NI NGC or IC catalog number 20 1X --- --- Blank 21- 22 F2.0 h RAh Hours of RA (1950) 23- 24 F2.0 min RAm Minutes of RA 25- 28 F4.1 s RAs Seconds of RA 29 1X --- --- Blank 30 A1 --- DE- Sign of Dec (1950), always '+' 31- 32 F2.0 deg DEd Degrees of Dec 33- 34 F2.0 arcmin DEm Arcminutes of Dec 35- 36 F2.0 arcsec DEs Arcseconds of Dec 37 1X --- --- Blank 38- 40 A3 --- Morph *Morphological type code index 41- 45 F5.2 arcmin MajAxis *[]?

Wc: 21 cm profile width corrected for viewing inclination and to the rest frame of the observer, Wc. Fc: 21 cm line flux, Fc, after correction for pointing, beam dilution, and internal absorption following HG84. SNR: Signal-to-noise ratio of HI emission spectrum, measured as the ratio of peak signal flux to Sigma, where available.
