Galaxy Properties from a Diameter-Limited Catalog

By Juan Enrique Cabanela Larrinaga
August 1999

This online version of my Ph.D. thesis was generated with Webify (with extensive editing via Dreamweaver 2) from the original PostScript version of the thesis. This thesis is also available in the following formats:

• The original postscript () version of the thesis is available.
• The gzipped postscript file () is also available.
• The PDF () version is available, although it requires the free Adobe Acrobat Reader program (available for Macintosh, Windows, various Unix, O/S2 Warp, and Linux) to be read/printed.

• The MAPS-NGP Catalog (gzipped ASCII format) (): Be sure to read the MAPS-NGP catalog README () first, as it describes the catalog and its contents. Details on the construction of the MAPS-NGP can be found in Chapter 5 of my Ph.D. Thesis.

• "Determination of Galaxy Spin Vectors in the Pisces-Perseus Supercluster with the Arecibo Telescope", Cabanela, J.E. and Dickey, J. 1999, AJ, 118, 46.: This paper outlined our technique for measuring spin vectors of galaxies with HI diameters smaller than the Arecibo beam resolution.
• "Galaxy Alignments in the Pisces-Perseus Supercluster -- Revisited," Cabanela, J.E. and Aldering, G. 1998, AJ, 116, 1094.: This paper introduced the MAPS-PP galaxy catalog. The MAPS-PP catalog data is available online through the ADC WWW Site.
