VizieR Online Data Catalog: GLADE+ (Galaxy List for the Advanced Detector Era) (Dalya+, 2022)

We present GLADE+, an extended version of the GLADE galaxy catalog introduced in our previous paper (Dalya et al., 2018MNRAS.479.2374D, Cat. VII/281) for multimessenger searches with advanced gravitational-wave detectors. GLADE+ combines data from six separate but not independent astronomical catalogues: the GWGC, 2MPZ, 2MASS XSC, HyperLEDA, and WISExSCOSPZ galaxy catalogues, and the SDSS-DR16Q quasar catalog. GLADE+ contains ~22.5 million galaxies and ~750,000 quasars. GLADE+ is complete up to a luminosity distance of ~44Mpc in terms of the cumulative B-band luminosity of galaxies, and contains all of the brightest galaxies giving half of the total B-band luminosity up to ~95Mpc. Considering the brightest galaxies giving half of the total luminosity in the W1-band, GLADE+ has nearly 90% completeness at even ~500Mpc. We derived stellar masses and binary neutron star mergers for galaxies with W_1 magnitudes. These parameters can help to rank the galaxies in a given gravitational wave localization volume, thereby possibly reducing the number of pointings and the total integration time needed to find the electromagnetic counterpart. The codes used for the stellar mass and and merger rate calculations can be found on Github.
