Database For Studying Edge-on Galaxies

Abstract

We present a database created within the project on studying edge-on galaxies. These galaxies provide a unique opportunity to study the three-dimensional distribution of the matter in galaxy disks, which is extremely important for analyzing the influence of internal and external factors on the evolution of galaxies. For the moment, extensive observed material has been accumulated on the kinematics and photometry of such galaxies. The database is designed to organize information, make it easier to visualize, and to improve works on studying this type of objects. The database combines information from previous catalogs on edge-on galaxies and data from current projects; provides access to astrometric and photometric data; carries out interconnection with other databases. The present paper describes the structure and web-access to the database: https://www.sao.ru/edgeon/
