Diameters of nuclei, lenses, and inner and outer rings in 532 galaxies.
Abstract
A catalog of major and minor diameters of nuclei, lenses, and inner and outer rings in 532 bright galaxies measured on large-scale reflector plates and listed in the first Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies is assembled to provide basic data for statistical studies of ring diameters as distance indicators, of quantitative galaxy morphology, and other applications.
