Resources Related to this Thesis:
- A PDF (9.6 MB) version of this thesis is available,
although it requires the free Adobe
Acrobat Reader (version 5.0 or later) program (available for Macintosh,
Windows, various Unix, and Linux) to be read/printed.
- Errata: There are some typos/errors that I discovered post-publication in my thesis. The most egregious are on pages 162-164 that were the result of an attempt to move some figures around, the errors mangle the meaning of what I am trying to get across. The above PDF copy of my thesis, when viewed in Adobe Acrobat or Apple's Preview app in Mac OS X, has "comments" added correcting the errors. I don't believe these comments print by default, but they are viewable when looking at the document on your computer.
- The MAPS-NGP Catalog of 217,768
galaxies on POSS I plates within 30 degrees of the North Galactic Pole is
now available online! Be warned, the catalog is gigantic, about 65 Megabytes
uncompressed. More details on the MAPS-NGP
are available here.
- The MAPS-NGP Catalog (gzipped ASCII format) ( 22.4MB): Be sure to read the MAPS-NGP catalog README ( 11KB) 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.
- There are two previously published papers included in this 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.
