J/AJ/112/359 J/AJ/112/359 Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field S van den Bergh R G Abraham R S Ellis N R Tanvir B X Santiago K G Glazebrook Astron. J. 112 359 1996 1996AJ....112..359V Galaxies, photometry Morphology We present a catalog of morphological and color data for galaxies with 21<I_814<25mag in the Hubble Deep Field (Williams et al. 1996, in Science with the Hubble Space Telescope II). Galaxies have been inspected and (when possible) independently visually classified on the MDS and DDO systems. Measurements of central concentration and asymmetry are also included in the catalog. The fraction of interacting and merging objects is seen to be significantly higher in the Hubble Deep Field than it is among nearby galaxies. Barred spirals are essentially absent from the deep sample. The fraction of early-type galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field is similar to the fraction of early-types in the Shapley-Ames Catalog, but the fraction of galaxies resembling archetypal grand-design late-type spiral galaxies is dramatically lower in the distant HDF sample.

ID Galaxy ID number --- n_ID Notes presence of Lyman discontinuity The 42 high-z candidates with red UV-optical colors (U_300-B_450>-0.2) and blue optical-near IR colors (V_606-I_814>-0.6), indicating the possible presence of the Lyman discontinuity in the U_300-band spectral energy distribution (Steidel et al., 1996ApJ...462L..17S), are indicated by an asterisk in this column. --- RAh Right ascension, J2000 h RAm Right ascension, J2000 min RAs Right ascension, J2000 s DE- Declination sign --- DEd Declination, J2000 deg DEm Declination, J2000 arcmin DEs Declination, J2000 arcsec Xpos X pixel coord. on v.2 "drizzled" image Pixel coordinates on the version 2 "drizzled" HDF frames released by STScI. The first digit in the ID numbers corresponds to the WF/PC2 chip on which the object lies. Note also that positions were originally measured on the version 1 drizzled images, and were converted to version 2 coordinates using (x,y)_v1=76+(x,y)+v2 (M. Dickinson, private communication). pix Ypos Y pixel coord. on v.2 "drizzled" image pix Imag I_814 magnitude mag U-B U_300-B_450 color index mag B-V B_450-V_606 color index mag V-I V_606-I_814 color index mag Asym Asymmetry --- Conc Central concentration measure Color concentration measure from Abraham et al., (1996MNRAS.279L..47A). --- RSE Visual classification by RSE Visual classification by RSE into three large bins (E = elliptical, S=spiral, P=irregular/peculiar/merger). --- vdB Visual classification by vdB Visual classification by vdB on the numerical "MDS system" used by RSE to classify the data in Glazebrook et al, (1995MNRAS.275L..19G) and described in detail in Abraham et al.
