Spectroscopy and Photometry of Elliptical Galaxies. VI. Sample Selection and Data Summary: Erratum
Abstract
In the paper "Spectroscopy and Photometry of Elliptical Galaxies. VI. Sample Selection and Data Summary" by S. M. Faber, G. Wegner, D. Burstein, Roger L. Davies, A. Dressler, D. Lynden-Bell, and R. J. Terlevich (Ap. J. Suppl., 69, 763 [1989] the (B-V)_0_ coIors listed in Table 1, column (9), are incorrectly identified in the text as coming from an average of all photoelectric observations made in apertures <=67" in diameter. The (B - V)_0_ colors in apertures <=67" in diameter are given in a paper by David Burstein, Roger L. Davies, Alan Dressler, S. M. Faber, Remington P. S. Stone, Donald Lynden-Bell, Roberto J. Terlevich, and Gary Wegner (Ap. J. Suppl., 64, 601 [1987]). The (B-V)_0_ colors listed in Tab1e 1 in the present paper come from an average of all photoelectric observations made in apertures <=30" in diameter. The number of observations per galaxy given in Table 1 also refers to those made in apertures <= 30" in diameter. In both cases, the colors given are corrected for the same Galactic extinction and cosmological effects. The incorrect identification of the aperture size of the (B-V)_0_ colors has no other effect on this paper. We thank Marijn Franx for first pointing out the difference in the (B - V)0 colors listed in the present paper and Burstein et al. (1987).
