The Tully-Fisher Relation of Barred Galaxies
We present new data exploring the scaling relations, such as theTully-Fisher relation (TFR), of bright barred and unbarred galaxies. Aprimary motivation for this study is to establish whether barrednesscorrelates with, and is a consequence of, virial properties of galaxies.Various lines of evidence suggest that dark matter is dominant in disksof bright unbarred galaxies at 2.2 disk scale lengths, the point of peakrotation for a pure exponential disk. We test the hypothesis that theTully-Fisher (TF) plane of barred high surface brightness galaxies isoffset from the mean TFR of unbarred galaxies, as might be expected ifbarred galaxies are ``maximal'' in their inner parts. We use existingand new TF data to search for basic structural differences betweenbarred and unbarred galaxies. Our new data consist of two-dimensionalHα velocity fields derived from SparsePak integral fieldspectroscopy and V- and I-band CCD images collected at the WIYNObservatory2 for 14 strongly barredgalaxies. Differences may exist between kinematic and photometricinclination angles of barred versus unbarred galaxies. These findingslead us to restrict our analysis to barred galaxies withi>50deg. We use WIYN/SparsePak (two-dimensional) velocityfields to show that long-slit (one-dimensional) spectra yield reliablecircular speed measurements at or beyond 2.2 disk scale lengths, farfrom any influence of the bar. This enables us to consider line widthmeasurements from extensive TF surveys that include barred and nonbarreddisks and derive detailed scaling relation comparisons. We find that fora given luminosity, barred and unbarred galaxies have comparablestructural and dynamical parameters, such as peak velocities, scalelengths, and colors. In particular, the location of a galaxy in the TFplane is independent of barredness. In a global dynamical sense, barredand unbarred galaxies behave similarly and are likely to have, onaverage, comparable fractions of luminous and dark matter at a givenradius.

The Seyfert-Starburst Connection in X-Rays. II. Results and Implications
We present the results of X-ray imaging and spectroscopic analysis of asample of Seyfert 2 galaxies that contain starbursts, based on theiroptical and UV characteristics. These composite galaxies exhibitextended, soft, thermal X-ray emission, which we attribute to theirstarburst components. Comparing their X-ray and far-infrared propertieswith ordinary Seyfert and starburst galaxies, we identify the spectralcharacteristics of their various intrinsic emission sources. Theobserved far-infrared emission of the composite galaxies may beassociated almost exclusively with star formation, rather than theactive nucleus. The ratio of the hard X-ray luminosity to thefar-infrared and [O III] λ5007 luminosity distinguishes most ofthese composite galaxies from ``pure'' Seyfert 2 galaxies, while theirtotal observed hard X-ray luminosity distinguishes them from ``pure''starbursts. The hard nuclear X-ray source is generally heavily absorbed(NH>1023 cm-2) in the compositegalaxies. Based on these results, we suggest that the interstellarmedium of the nuclear starburst is a significant source of absorption.The majority of the sample are located in groups or are interacting withother galaxies, which may trigger the starburst or allow rapid massinfall to the central black hole or both. We conclude that starburstsare energetically important in a significant fraction of active galaxiesand that starbursts and active galactic nuclei may be part of a commonevolutionary sequence.

The I-Band Tully-Fisher Relation for SC Galaxies: 21 Centimeter H I Line Data
A compilation of 21 cm line spectral parameters specifically designedfor application of the Tully-Fisher (TF) distance method is presentedfor 1201 spiral galaxies, primarily field Sc galaxies, for which opticalI-band photometric imaging is also available. New H I line spectra havebeen obtained for 881 galaxies. For an additional 320 galaxies, spectraavailable in a digital archive have been reexamined to allow applicationof a single algorithm for the derivation of the TF velocity widthparameter. A velocity width algorithm is used that provides a robustmeasurement of rotational velocity and permits an estimate of the erroron that width taking into account the effects of instrumental broadeningand signal-to-noise. The digital data are used to establish regressionrelations between measurements of velocity widths using other commonprescriptions so that comparable widths can be derived throughconversion of values published in the literature. The uniform H I linewidths presented here provide the rotational velocity measurement to beused in deriving peculiar velocities via the TF method.

The I-Band Tully-Fisher Relation for SC Galaxies: Optical Imaging Data
Properties derived from the analysis of photometric I-band imagingobservations are presented for 1727 inclined spiral galaxies, mostly oftypes Sbc and Sc. The reduction, parameter extraction, and errorestimation procedures are discussed in detail. The asymptotic behaviorof the magnitude curve of growth and the radial variation in ellipticityand position angle are used in combination with the linearity of thesurface brightness falloff to fit the disk portion of the profile. TotalI-band magnitudes are calculated by extrapolating the detected surfacebrightness profile to a radius of eight disk scale lengths. Errors inthe magnitudes, typically ~0.04 mag, are dominated by uncertainties inthe sky subtraction and disk-fitting procedures. Comparison is made withthe similar imaging database of Mathewson, Ford, & Buchhorn, both aspresented originally by those authors and after reanalyzing theirdigital reduction files using identical disk-fitting procedures. Directcomparison is made of profile details for 292 galaxies observed incommon. Although some differences occur, good agreement is found,proving that the two data sets can be used in combination with onlyminor accommodation of those differences. The compilation of opticalproperties presented here is optimized for use in applications of theTully-Fisher relation as a secondary distance indicator in studies ofthe local peculiar velocity field.

Total magnitude, radius, colour indices, colour gradients and photometric type of galaxies
We present a catalogue of aperture photometry of galaxies, in UBVRI,assembled from three different origins: (i) an update of the catalogueof Buta et al. (1995) (ii) published photometric profiles and (iii)aperture photometry performed on CCD images. We explored different setsof growth curves to fit these data: (i) The Sersic law, (ii) The net ofgrowth curves used for the preparation of the RC3 and (iii) A linearinterpolation between the de Vaucouleurs (r(1/4) ) and exponential laws.Finally we adopted the latter solution. Fitting these growth curves, wederive (1) the total magnitude, (2) the effective radius, (3) the colourindices and (4) gradients and (5) the photometric type of 5169 galaxies.The photometric type is defined to statistically match the revisedmorphologic type and parametrizes the shape of the growth curve. It iscoded from -9, for very concentrated galaxies, to +10, for diffusegalaxies. Based in part on observations collected at the Haute-ProvenceObservatory.

A catalogue of spatially resolved kinematics of galaxies: Bibliography
We present a catalogue of galaxies for which spatially resolved data ontheir internal kinematics have been published; there is no a priorirestriction regarding their morphological type. The catalogue lists thereferences to the articles where the data are published, as well as acoded description of these data: observed emission or absorption lines,velocity or velocity dispersion, radial profile or 2D field, positionangle. Tables 1, 2, and 3 are proposed in electronic form only, and areavailable from the CDS, via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (to130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html

Parameters of 2447 Southern Spiral Galaxies for Use in the Tully-Fisher Relation
I-band luminosities, rotational velocities, and redshifts of 1092 spiralgalaxies have been measured by CCD photometry and Hα spectroscopyusing the 1 m and 2.3 m telescopes at Siding Spring Observatory,respectively. The results are tabulated. Luminosity profiles andHα rotation curves are given for the galaxies. When these resultsare combined with similar data for 1355 spiral galaxies publishedpreviously (Mathewson, Ford, & Buchhorn, hereafter Paper I), itprovides a large, uniform, and unique data set with which to measure,via the Tully-Fisher relation, the peculiar velocities of galaxies inthe local universe to a distance of 11,000 km s^-1^ (Mathewson &Ford). Taking advantage of the opportunity for publishing this data inmachine-readable form, in the CD-ROM, we have also included similar datafor the 1355 galaxies in Paper I.

An image database. II. Catalogue between δ=-30deg and δ=70deg.
A preliminary list of 68.040 galaxies was built from extraction of35.841 digitized images of the Palomar Sky Survey (Paper I). For eachgalaxy, the basic parameters are obtained: coordinates, diameter, axisratio, total magnitude, position angle. On this preliminary list, weapply severe selection rules to get a catalog of 28.000 galaxies, wellidentified and well documented. For each parameter, a comparison is madewith standard measurements. The accuracy of the raw photometricparameters is quite good despite of the simplicity of the method.Without any local correction, the standard error on the total magnitudeis about 0.5 magnitude up to a total magnitude of B_T_=17. Significantsecondary effects are detected concerning the magnitudes: distance toplate center effect and air-mass effect.

A comparative study of morphological classifications of APM galaxies
We investigate the consistency of visual morphological classificationsof galaxies by comparing classifications for 831 galaxies from sixindependent observers. The galaxies were classified on laser print copyimages or on computer screen using scans made with the Automated PlateMeasuring (APM) machine. Classifications are compared using the RevisedHubble numerical type index T. We find that individual observers agreewith one another with rms combined dispersions of between 1.3 and 2.3type units, typically about 1.8 units. The dispersions tend to decreaseslightly with increasing angular diameter and, in some cases, withincreasing axial ratio (b/a). The agreement between independentobservers is reasonably good but the scatter is non-negligible. In spiteof the scatter, the Revised Hubble T system can be used to train anautomated galaxy classifier, e.g. an artificial neural network, tohandle the large number of galaxy images that are being compiled in theAPM and other surveys.

Rotation Curves of 967 Spiral Galaxies
We present the rotation curves of 967 southern spiral galaxies, obtainedby deprojecting and folding the raw Hα data originally publishedby Mathewson, Ford, & Buchhorn (1992). For 900 objects, we alsopresent, in figures and tables, the rotation curves smoothed on scalescorresponding to 5%-20% of the optical size; of these, 80 meet objectiveexcellence criteria and are suitable for individual detailed massmodeling, while 820, individually less compelling mainly because of themoderate statistics and/or limited extension, are suitable forstatistical studies. The remaining 67 curves suffer from severeasymmetries, small statistics, and large internal scatter that maylargely limit their use in galaxy structure studies. The deprojectedfolded curves, the smoothed curves, and various related quantities areavailable via anonymous ftp at galileo.sissa.it in the directory/users/ftp/pub/psrot.
