Reduction of the COSMOS Southern Sky galaxy survey data to the RC3 standard system
arXiv:astro-ph/9606061 · doi:10.1093/mnras/282.1.144
Abstract
After having cross-identified a subsample of LEDA galaxies in the COSMOS database, we defined the best relations to convert COSMOS parameters (coordinates, position angle, diameter, axis ratio and apparent magnitude) into RC3 system used in the LEDA database. Tiny secondary effects can be tested: distance to plate cenetrs effect and air-mass effect. The converted COSMOS parameters are used to add missing parameters on LEDA galaxies. Key words: galaxies - catalogue - photometry
