VizieR Online Data Catalog: Mark III Catalog of Galaxy Peculiar Velocities (Willick+ 1997)

The Mark III Catalog of Galaxy Peculiar Velocities comprises five different types of data files. 1. Basic Observational and Catalog Data 2. Individual Galaxy TF and Dn-sigma Distances 3. Grouped Spiral Galaxy TF Distances 4. Elliptical Galaxy Distances as in the Mark II 5. Comparison of Spiral Galaxy Distances

1. The Basic Data files are: a. Aaronson et al. Field, (359 galaxies; a82): a82file1.dat, a82file2.dat, a82file3.dat b. Mathewson et al. 1992 (1355 galaxies; mat): matfile1.dat, matfile2.dat, matfile3.dat c. Willick 1991, Perseus-Pisces sample (383 galaxies; w91pp): d. Willick 1991, Cluster galaxy sample (156 galaxies; w91cl): The basic data for all 539 objects in the w91 sample are given in the following files: w91file1.dat, w91file2.dat, w91file3.dat Some galaxies are duplicates; see below for details. e. Courteau-Faber 1993 (326 galaxies; cf): cffile1.dat, cffile2.dat, cffile3.dat f. Han-Mould et al. 1992+, Cluster galaxy sample (433 galaxies; hmcl): The basic data for all 433 galaxies the the hm sample are given in the following files: hmfile1.dat, hmfile3.dat, hmfile2.dat Some galaxies are duplicates; see below for details.

2. The Individual Spiral Galaxy Distances Files are: (See notes for detailed descriptions of how the w91pp, w91cl, hmcl and cf distance files correspond to the galaxies in the w91file*, hmfile*, and cffile* Basic Data files.) a. Aaronson et al. Field, (359 galaxies; a82): a82_s b. Mathewson et al. 1992 (1355 galaxies; mat): mat_s c. Willick 1991, Perseus-Pisces sample (326 galaxies; w91pp): w91pp_s.dat d. Willick 1991, Cluster galaxy sample (156 galaxies; w91cl): w91cl_s.dat e. Courteau-Faber 1993 (321 galaxies; cf): cf_s.dat f. Han-Mould et al. 1992+, all cluster galaxies (427 galaxies; hmcl): hmcl_s.dat

3. The Grouped Spiral Galaxy Distance Files are: (Note: Group numbers in the wcf group (merged w91pp and cf) data file correspond to those in the w91pp and cf individual galaxy files. The hmw group file (merged w91cl and hmcl, 10 northern clusters only, cf. Willick et al. 1995) does not correspond to any individual galaxy distance file.) a. Aaronson et al. Field, (67 groups; a82): a82_g b. Mathewson et al. 1992 (277 groups; mat): mat_g c. Willick 1991, Perseus-Pisces sample (63 groups; w91pp): w91pp_g d. Willick 1991, Cluster galaxy sample (11 groups; w91cl): w91cl_g e. Courteau-Faber 1993 jointly grouped with Willick 1991 (65 groups; wcf): wcf_g f. Han-Mould et al. 1992+, all cluster galaxies (36 groups; hmcl): hmcl_g g. Combined hmcl and w91cl distances for the 10 northern clusters in common between the two samples (10 groups; hmw): hmw_g

4. Elliptical Galaxy Distance Files are: a. The Basic Data for the Mark II elliptical galaxy data: egalf1.dat b. The grouped data for the Mark II elliptical galaxy data, normalized in distance to the full spiral galaxy sample (a 3.5% revision in distances, such that the new distances are 0.965 times the old): egalf2.dat

5. Comparison of Galaxy Distances: This gives a direct comparison of predicted distance, magnitude and rotation velocity (eta) for 403 galaxies in common to two or more of the six spiral galaxy data sets: six data sets: match

(31 data files).
