The Galaxies of High Surface Brightness

Two lists of 621 galaxies are presented for which the mean surface brightness \tilde{B}, computed by means of apparent magnitude m_p from Refs. [15-20] and angular sizes a and b from Refs. [21-23], is not less than 22.^m0 for one square second of arc. The brightness \tilde{B} is defined by Eq. (5) and B which enters Eq. (5) is defined by Eq. (1). Table 1 contains thirty galaxies of high surface brightness which are included in the lists of Markarian galaxies [6-11]. Four Markarian galaxies from the list of Ref. [28] are included in the Table 2. Five objects of Table 1 and twenty-nine objects of Table 2 are Zwicky galaxies [14]. Finally, two objects of Table 1 and five objects of Table 2 are Haro galaxies. It follows from the published data on the galaxies of high surface brightness that nearly half of them are elliptical and lenticular galaxies and nearly a quarter is of Sa type.
