Distances and peculiar velocities of spiral galaxies in the 2MFGC and SFI++ samples
Yu. N. Kudrya, V. E. Karachentseva, I. D. Karachentsev +2
We compare infrared Tully-Fisher (TF) distances and peculiar velocities derived for spiral galaxies from the two largest datasets: the 2MASS selected Flat Galaxy Catalog, 2MFGC [19…
Mining the Local Volume
Igor D. Karachentsev, Valentina Karachentseva, Walter Huchtmeier +3
After recent systematic optical, IR, and HI surveys, the total number of known galaxies within 10 Mpc has increased from 179 to 550. About half this Local Volume (LV) sample is now…
New Probable Dwarf Galaxies in Northern Groups of the Local Supercluster
I. D. Karachentsev, V. E. Karachentseva, W. K. Huchtmeier
We have searched for nearby dwarf galaxies in 27 northern groups with characteristic distances 8-15 Mpc based on the Second Palomar Sky Survey prints. In a total area of about 2000…
Probe of dark galaxies via disturbed/ lopsided isolated galaxies
Igor D. Karachentsev, Valentina E. Karachentseva, Walter K. Huchtmeier +2
Searching for lopsided/interacting objects among ~1500 isolated galaxies yields only eight strongly disturbed galaxies which may be explained as a result of their interaction with…
Extended HI Rotation Curve and Mass Distribution of M31
Claude Carignan, Laurent Chemin, Walter K. Huchtmeier +1
New HI observations of Messier 31 (M31) obtained with the Effelsberg and Green Bank 100-m telescopes make it possible to measure the rotation curve of that galaxy out to ~35 kpc. B…
Disturbed isolated galaxies: indicators of a dark galaxy population?
I. D. Karachentsev, V. E. Karachentseva, W. K. Huchtmeier
We report the results of our search for disturbed (interacting) objects among very isolated galaxies. The inspections of 1050 northern isolated galaxies from KIG and 500 nearby, ve…
