A Catalog of Neighboring Galaxies
- I. Karachentsev, V. E. Karachentseva, W. K. Huchtmeier, D. Makarov, D. Makarov
- Physics
- 1 April 2004
We present an all-sky catalog of 451 nearby galaxies, each having an individual distance estimate D 10 Mpc or a radial velocity VLG -17.0, which contribute about 4% to the local luminosity density,… Expand
COSMICFLOWS-2: THE DATA
- R. Tully, H. Courtois, +11 authors P. Wu
- Physics
- 27 July 2013
Cosmicflows-2 is a compilation of distances and peculiar velocities for over 8000 galaxies. Numerically the largest contributions come from the luminosity-line width correlation for spirals, the… Expand
UPDATED NEARBY GALAXY CATALOG
- I. Karachentsev, D. Makarov, E. I. Kaisina
- Physics
- 12 March 2013
We present an all-sky catalog of 869 nearby galaxies having individual distance estimates within 11 Mpc or corrected radial velocities V LG < 600 km s–1. The catalog is a renewed and expanded version… Expand
The ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury
- J. Dalcanton, B. Williams, +24 authors T. Quinn
- Geography, Physics
- 1 December 2007
The ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury (ANGST) is a systematic survey to establish a legacy of uniform multi-color photometry of resolved stars for a volume-limited sample of nearby galaxies (D 14… Expand
Distances to nearby galaxies in Sculptor
- I. Karachentsev, E. Grebel, +7 authors P. Seitzer
- Physics
- 4 February 2003
We present an analysis of Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 images of nine nearby galaxies in Sculptor. We derive their distances from the luminosity of the tip of the red giant branch stars with a… Expand
New distances to galaxies in the Centaurus A group
- I. Karachentsev, M. Sharina, +8 authors P. Seitzer
- Physics
- 1 April 2002
We present Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 images of seventeen dwarf galaxies in the Centaurus A group. Their distances derived from the magnitudes of the tip of the red giant branch are 5.2 Mpc (KK112),
The M 81 group of galaxies: New distances, kinematics and structure ?;??
- I. Karachentsev, A. Dolphin, +8 authors M. Sharina
- Physics
- 1 February 2002
We present Hubble Space Telescope/WFPC2 images of the galaxies NGC 2366, NGC 2976, NGC 4236, IC 2574, DDO 53, DDO 82, DDO 165, Holmberg I, Holmberg II, Holmberg IX, K52, K73, BK3N, Garland, and… Expand
Our Peculiar Motion Away from the Local Void
The peculiar velocity of the Local Group of galaxies manifested in the cosmic microwave background dipole is found to decompose into three dominant components. The three components are clearly… Expand
The Hubble Flow around the Centaurus A/M83 Galaxy Complex
- I. Karachentsev, R. Tully, +8 authors L. Rizzi
- Physics
- 3 March 2006
We present Hubble Space Telescope ACS images and color-magnitude diagrams for 24 nearby galaxies in and near the constellation of Centaurus with radial velocities VLG < 550 km s-1. Distances are… Expand
The Local Group and Other Neighboring Galaxy Groups
- I. Karachentsev
- Physics
- 2005
Over the last few years, rapid progress has been made in distance measurements for nearby galaxies based on the magnitude of stars on the tip of the red giant branch. Current CCD surveys with the… Expand
