UBR CCD photometry of Stromlo-APM galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
We present CCD photometry in the Johnson-Kron-Cousins UBR bands for a sample of 320 galaxies selected from the Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey. We use this CCD data to estimate the galaxy luminosity function in the U , B, R and bJ bands, finding consistent results with earlier work. Fainter galaxies serendipitously observed on our CCD frames allow a check of the photometric calibration of the APM Galaxy Survey. We find no evidence of any significant scale error in the APM magnitudes.

On the CCD Calibration of Zwicky galaxy magnitudes & The Properties of Nearby Field
We present CCD photometry for galaxies around 204 bright (m Z < 15:5) Zwicky galaxies in the equatorial extension of the APM Galaxy Survey. We t a best linear relation between the Zwicky m Z system and the CCD photometry by doing a likehood analysis that corrects for Malmquist bias. This t yields a large scale error in Zwicky of m Z ' (0:620:05) B CCD and a mean zero point of < B CCD ?m Z >= ?0...

We present CCD photometry for galaxies around 204 bright (mZ < 15.5) Zwicky galaxies in the equatorial extension of the APM Galaxy Survey. We fit a best linear relation between the Zwicky mZ system and the CCD photometry by doing a likehood analysis that corrects for Malmquist bias. This fit yields a large scale error in Zwicky of ∆mZ ≃ (0.62±0.05) ∆BCCD and a mean zero point of < BCCD−mZ >= −0...
متن کاملPower Spectrum Analysis of the Stromlo - APM
We test estimators of the galaxy power spectrum P (k) against simulated galaxy catalogues constructed from N-body simulations and we derive formulae to correct for biases. These estimators are then applied to compute the power spectrum of galaxies in the Stromlo-APM redshift survey. We test whether the amplitude of P (k) depends on galaxy luminosity, but nd no signiicant luminosity dependence e...
متن کاملSpectral Analysis of the Stromlo-APM Survey II. Galaxy luminosity function and clustering by spectral type
We study the luminosity function and clustering properties of subsamples of local galaxies selected from the Stromlo-APM survey by the rest-frame equivalent widths of their Hα and [O ii] emission lines. The bJ luminosity function of star-forming galaxies has a significantly steeper faint-end slope than that for quiescent galaxies: the majority of sub-L∗ galaxies are currently undergoing signifi...
متن کاملSpectral properties of galaxies in the Stromlo-APM redshift survey: clues on the local star-forming galaxies
We analyse emission-line properties of the bj-selected Stromlo-APM spectra (〈z〉 = 0.05). Because this is a representative sample, we can study the global spectral properties of the local galaxy population. We classify spectra according to their Hα emission, which is closely related to massive star formation. This study gives a comparative local point for analysis of more distant surveys. We sho...
