Preface
- 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.
The refereed versions of these papers can be obtained online through the links

- "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.
