A Catalog of Very Isolated Galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 1
Abstract
We present a new catalog of isolated galaxies obtained through an automated systematic search. These 2980 isolated galaxies were found in ~2099 deg2 of sky in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 1 (SDSS DR1) photometry. The selection algorithm, implementing a variation on the criteria developed by Karachentseva in 1973, proved to be very efficient and fast. This catalog will be useful for studies of the general galaxy characteristics. Here we report on our results.
