A Minnesota Automated Plate Scanner Catalog of Galaxies Behind the Virgo Cluster and Toward its Antipode

摘要

We present a catalog of 1268 galxies, essentially complete to B(is less than or equal to)17.0, found by scanning glass copies of several fields of the original Palomar Sky Survey using the Minnesota Automated Plate Scanner in its isodensitometricmode(as opposed to the threshold densitometric mode used in the APS Catalog of the POSS I).
