A catalog of warps in spiral and lenticular galaxies in the Southern hemisphere
A catalog of optical warps of galaxies is presented. This can beconsidered complementary to that reported by Sánchez-Saavedra etal. (\cite{sanchez-saavedra}), with 42 galaxies in the northernhemisphere, and to that by Reshetnikov & Combes(\cite{reshetnikov99}), with 60 optical warps. The limits of the presentcatalog are: logr 25 > 0.60, B_t< 14.5, delta (2000) <0deg, -2.5 < t < 7. Therefore, lenticular galaxies havealso been considered. This catalog lists 150 warped galaxies out of asample of 276 edge-on galaxies and covers the whole southern hemisphere,except the Avoidance Zone. It is therefore very suitable for statisticalstudies of warps. It also provides a source guide for detailedparticular observations. We confirm the large frequency of warpedspirals: nearly all galaxies are warped. The frequency and warp angle donot present important differences for the different types of spirals.However, no lenticular warped galaxy has been found within the specifiedlimits. This finding constitutes an important restriction fortheoretical models.
| The K-band luminosity function of nearby field galaxies
We present a measurement of the K-band luminosity function (LF) of fieldgalaxies obtained from near-infrared imaging of a sample of 345 galaxiesselected from the Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey. The LF is reasonably wellfitted over the 10-mag range -26<=MK<=-16 by aSchechter function with parameters α=-1.16+/-0.19,M*=-23.58+/-0.42 and φ*=0.012+/-0.008Mpc-3, assuming aHubble constant of H0=100kms-1Mpc-1. Wehave also estimated the LF for two subsets of galaxies subdivided by theequivalent width of the Hα emission line atEW(Hα)=10Å. There is no significant difference in LF shapebetween the two samples, although there is a hint (~1σsignificance) that emission-line galaxies (ELGs) have M* roughly 1magfainter than non-ELGs. Contrary to the optical LF, there is nodifference in faint-end slope α between the two samples.
| The Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey. IV. The Redshift Catalog
The Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey consists of 1797 galaxies with b_J_ <17.15 selected randomly at a rate of 1 in 20 from automated platemeasurement (APM) scans. The survey covers a solid angle of 1.3 sr (4300deg^2^) in the south Galactic cap. Redshifts have been measured for 1790(99.6%) of the galaxies. The median galaxy recession velocity is 15,300km s^-1^, and so the volume probed is V ~ 1.38 x 10^6^ h^-3^ Mpc^3^. Inthis paper we describe the construction of the redshift catalog andpresent the survey data.
