COMPILATION OF THE FIFTH VOLUME OF MORPHOLOGICAL
CATALOGUE OF GALAXIES ON THE MAGNETIC TAPE

ABASTUMANI ASTROPHYSICAL OBSERVATORY
In the Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory the work has
been completed on the transfer of the fifth volume of the Morphological Catalogue of Galaxies (MCG) (Vorontsov-Velyaminov et al.,
1974) on the magnetic tape. 1637 galaxies, probably no fainter
than the 14-th magnitude, were included in this volume.
The fifth volume, as the previous four volumes of MCG catalogue, was compiled on the basis of the Palomar sky atlas prints
and comprises areas from -30 deg to -45 deg in declination.
However, as
distinguished from the first four volumes, the fifth one was
based on the prints, taken only in red light. So visual estimations of magnitudes of galaxies are presented here in red colour.
it should be noted that in all cases, when in MCG or other sources the magnitudes of galaxies are encountered in photographic or
photoelectric b system, we gave preference to these values compared to Vorontsov-Velyaminov's estimates.
As in the case of previous volumes we've put also on the magnetic tape all the notes to galaxies in the system, described
earlier (Kogoshvili, 1983). Besides, we've used following data
from the ESO/Uppsala survey (Lauberts, 1982): magnitudes, colours,
radial velocities, hubble types and galaxy diameters, measured on
the ESO(b) atlas plates up to the surface brightness slightly
fainter than 25 magnitude per square arc sec. These maximum major
and minor galaxy diameters in the fifth volume are given on the
magnetic tape in columns 86-90 and 92-96 for each galaxy. In these
columns, in case of the first four volumes, diameters of galaxies
from UGC catalogue were put. Besides, we used various data from
both reference catalogues of bright galaxies (De Vaucouleurs et
al., 1964, 1976) and b-v and u-b colours from the general catalogue of photoelectric magnitudes and colours (longo et al.,
1983).
Some slight additions, connected with the transfer of the
data from the fifth volume on the magnetic tape, were included in
the detailed description of the merged catalogue, put in the first
file. The second file of this catalogue consists of 1675 records for 1675 galaxies. The record length for each galaxy is
the same as in the previous merged catalogue or 376 bytes.
The reference list is also supplemented by new literature
entries, contained in the fourth file.
