Galaxy surface photometry [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 1999
We describe galaxy surface photometry based on fitting ellipses to the isophotes of the galaxies. Example galaxies with different isophotal shapes are used to illustrate the process, including how the deviations from elliptical isophotes are quantified using Fourier expansions.

Cosmology with Galaxy Photometry Alone

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present the first cosmological constraints using only the observed photometry of galaxies. Villaescusa-Navarro et al. recently demonstrated that the internal physical properties of a single simulated galaxy contain a significant amount of cosmological

The DESI PRObabilistic Value-added Bright Galaxy Survey (PROVABGS) Mock Challenge

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The PRObabilistic Value-added Bright Galaxy Survey (PROVABGS) catalog will provide measurements of galaxy properties, such as stellar mass ( M _* ), star formation rate (SFR), stellar metallicity ( Z ), and stellar age ( t _age ), for >10 million ...

Improved GALEX UV Photometry for 700,000 SDSS Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite performed the first and only large-area UV survey, which in tandem with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has facilitated modeling of the spectral energy distributions of low-redshift galaxies and the ...

PopSED: Population-level Inference for Galaxy Properties from Broadband Photometry with Neural Density Estimation

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present PopSED , a framework for the population-level inference of galaxy properties from photometric data. Unlike the traditional approach of first analyzing individual galaxies and then combining the results to determine the physical properties of ...

The Farmer: A Reproducible Profile-fitting Photometry Package for Deep Galaxy Surveys

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
While space-borne optical and near-infrared facilities have succeeded in delivering a precise and spatially resolved picture of our Universe, their small survey area is known to underrepresent the true diversity of galaxy populations.

Surface Photometry of Nearby Field Galaxies: The Data [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2000
We have obtained integrated spectra and multi-filter photometry for a repre- sentative sample of ~200 nearby galaxies. These galaxies span the entire Hubble sequence in morphological type, as well as a wide range of luminosities (M_B = -14 to -22) and colors (B-R=0.4 to 1.8).

A Southern Photometric Quasar Catalog from the Dark Energy Survey Data Release 2

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2022
We present a catalog of 1.4 million photometrically selected quasar candidates in the southern hemisphere over the ∼5000 deg ^2 Dark Energy Survey (DES) wide survey area. We combine optical photometry from the DES second data release (DR2) with available

Study photometric properties of spiral galaxy NGC 4448 using CCD camera with multiband filters

open access: yesIraqi Journal of Physics, 2018
The goal of our study is to perform detailed multiband surface photometry of the spiral galaxy NGC 4448 and its brightest star-forming regions. The structure and composition of the stellar population in the surface brightness galaxy NGC 4448 was studied
