The AMIGA sample of isolated galaxies. V. Quantification of the isolation
Context: The AMIGA project aims to build a well defined andstatistically significant reference sample of isolated galaxies in orderto estimate the environmental effects on the formation and evolution ofgalaxies. Aims: The goal of this paper is to provide a measure of theenvironment of the isolated galaxies in the AMIGA sample, quantifyingthe influence of the candidate neighbours identified in our previouswork and their potential effects on the evolution of the primarygalaxies. Here we provide a quantification of the isolation degree ofthe galaxies in this sample. Methods: Our starting sample is theCatalogue of Isolated Galaxies (CIG). We used two parameters to estimatethe influence exerted by the neighbour galaxies on the CIG galaxy: thelocal number density of neighbour galaxies and the tidal strengthaffecting the CIG galaxy. We show that both parameters together providea comprehensive picture of the environment. For comparison, thoseparameters have also been derived for galaxies in denser environmentssuch as triplets, groups and clusters. Results: The CIG galaxies show acontinuous spectrum of isolation, as quantified by the two parameters,from very isolated to interacting. The fraction of CIG galaxies whoseproperties are expected to be influenced by the environment is howeverlow (159 out of 950 galaxies). The isolated parameters derived for thecomparison samples gave higher values than for the CIG and we foundclear differences for the average values of the 4 samples considered,proving the sensitivity of these parameters. Conclusions: Theenvironment of the galaxies in the CIG has been characterised, using twocomplementary parameters quantifying the isolation degree, the localnumber density of the neighbour galaxies and the tidal forces affectingthe isolated galaxies. A final catalogue of galaxies has been producedand the most isolated of these galaxies are consequently appropriate toserve as a reference sample for the AMIGA project.Full Tables [see full text], [see full text] and [see full text]-[see full text] are available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp tocdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/472/121 and fromhttp://www.iaa.es/AMIGA.html.
| A Digital Archive of H I 21 Centimeter Line Spectra of Optically Targeted Galaxies
We present a homogeneous compilation of H I spectral parametersextracted from global 21 cm line spectra for some 9000 galaxies in thelocal universe (heliocentric velocity-200
| The Arizona-New Mexico Spectroscopic Survey of Galaxies. I. Data for the Western End of the Perseus Supercluster
We present new optical spectroscopic data for 347 galaxies in the regionof the Perseus supercluster. The new data were obtained using theSteward Observatory 2.3 m telescope and cover the whole optical window.Included are redshifts (for 345 objects), absorption-line equivalentwidths, a continuum index measuring the 4000 Å break, andemission-line flux ratios. After 11 objects are rejected for being toofaint and redshifts for 26 objects are added from the literature, wearrive at a complete sample of 361 galaxies. The distribution ofredshifts for the whole sample is examined, and we show the relationshipof the continuum index to morphology.
| Arcsecond Positions of UGC Galaxies
We present accurate B1950 and J2000 positions for all confirmed galaxiesin the Uppsala General Catalog (UGC). The positions were measuredvisually from Digitized Sky Survey images with rms uncertaintiesσ<=[(1.2")2+(θ/100)2]1/2,where θ is the major-axis diameter. We compared each galaxymeasured with the original UGC description to ensure high reliability.The full position list is available in the electronic version only.

| A 21 CM survey of the Pisces-Perseus supercluster. II - The declination zone +21.5 to +27.5 degrees
Neutral-hydrogen 21-cm line spectra and derived parameters are presentedfor a sample of spiral galaxies in the region bounded by an R.A. greaterthan 22 h and less then 0.04 h, and a declination greater than +21 deg30 min and less than +27 deg 30 min, covering the Zwicky fields 470 to488, as the second installment of a survey of the region of thePisces-Perseus supercluster. New H I line observations made with theArecibo 305 m telescope detected 275 galaxies of 318 studied. Atabulation of derived galaxian properties is given. The redshiftdistribution shows gross departures from that expected for a sample withsimilar magnitude characteristics but homogeneously located in space.These new data will be incorporated into the overall survey of thethree-dimensional structure in the Pisces-Perseus region.
| Radial velocities of double galaxies
Spectral observations of 92 galaxies in isolated pairs have been carriedout. In 52 cases radial velocities were measured. The mean value of theorbital mass-to-luminosity ratio for 18 pairs is (16.2 plus or minus10.0) times the solar value.
