Erratum: ``Far-Infrared Photometry of a Statistical Sample of Late-Type Virgo Cluster Galaxies'' (ApJS, 139, 37 [2002])
Abstract
The legends for Figures 9 and 10 were switched. The legend for Figure 9 should read: ``Uncorrected χ2 values derived from fitting the Gaussian models to the maps vs. the corresponding flux densities at 60 μm obtained from integrating the model fit to infinity. The data were plotted as diamonds, except for those galaxies for which the model was an imperfect fit to the data, which were plotted as crosses. The solid line rising for F60>1.5 Jy represents the linear correlations between flux and χ2, as a result of systematic errors due to the oversampling in cross-scan direction. For faint flux densities χ2 is dominated by systematic errors, producing a clumpy distribution at the left-hand side of the plot, with a lower envelope, which we traced by a solid line to guide the eyes.'' The legend for Figure 10 should read: ``Model fits to the observed brightness profiles of all the Virgo galaxies from our sample (except for the interacting system VCC 1673/VCC 1676; see § 6.2.4). Statistical uncertainties for selected map pixels near the extremities and center of the scans are indicated by the 3 σ error bars. The legend is as in Fig. 8.'' In addition, the references to Figures 9 and 10 in the main text should be interchanged. The Press sincerely regrets this error.
