2.A   Discussion of Individual Objects

006 A00510+1225 Compact Sc galaxy with Seyfert  I nucleus. This galaxy was classified as compact elliptical in CfA I.
007 NGC 315 Also known as Holmberg 29A.
009 (A01047+1625) Not part of our statistical sample. It was observed because its estimated absolute magnitude was ~ -13, making it a nice addition to our faintest bin in absolute magnitude. Recent observations by Hopp (1999), however, suggest a much larger distance, and therefore higher luminosity (MB ~ -14.5), than adopted in this paper.
010 NGC 382 Close companion of NGC 383 in this group of galaxies.
011 IC 1639 Also known as Mrk 562.
012 A01123-0046 Compact Sc galaxy previously classified as compact elliptical in CfA I. This galaxy is interacting with two close companions.
018 A01374+1539B The lowest surface brightness galaxy in our sample with a central surface brightness, µdB(0) ~ 24.5 mag arcsec¯² ; also known as DDO 13.
027 NGC 927 Also known as Mrk 593.
031 A02464+1807 A compact galaxy dominated by a foreground star right on its center. We succeeded in obtaining neither surface photometry of the underlying galaxy nor

 

spectroscopy for this galaxy. In the atlas we only show the image.
032 A02493-0122 Another LSB galaxy. Also known as DDO 30.
041 NGC 2799 VV 50, Arp 283; interacting pair with NGC 2798.
042 NGC 2824 Also known as Mrk 394. The light of a very bright star ~3´ away from the galaxy needed to be modeled out prior to the ellipse-fitting step.
044 NGC 3011 Also known as Mrk 409.
047 A09557+4758 Through the irregular spiral disk of this galaxy, a more distant edge-on Sb is seen, giving the appearance of a break (P.A.=42°) in one of the arms of A09557+4758.
050 NGC 3104 LSB galaxy without a distinct nucleus; also known as VV 119.
052 NGC 3165 The central parts of this galaxy are distinctly asymmetric. Possible companion to the northeast.
058 NGC 3279 Also known as IC 622.
059 A10321+4649 Also known as Mrk 146. Disturbed morphology with a dust lane.
062 A10365+4812 Galaxy showing the signature of a strongly warped disk.
063 A10368+4811 The light distribution in this galaxy is asymmetric.
064 NGC 3326 Also known as AKN 251. Very faint extended spiral structure is visible in this galaxy.
065 A10389+3859 Three smaller disk systems appear to accompany this galaxy.
066 A10431+3514 An edge-on early-type disk galaxy is seen through this Sa galaxy, 14´´ northeast of the nucleus.
072 NGC 3499 A dustlane is running over this S0/a galaxy.
074 A11017+3828W Nearest galaxy with a BL Lac-type nucleus. It is highly variable (observed changes of ~0.02 mag per night during its high state in May 1996). The photometry presented in this paper is an average of observations from 1995 March, and 1996 March and May. Due to the brightness of this object (forcing us to use very short exposures) and due to the presence of two bright stars nearby (leading to inaccurate measurement of the sky background, even after modeling out the stellar light), our photometry of the host galaxy is not deep.
077 IC 673 Named IC 678 in CfA I; has a low surface brightness disk and a normal surface brightness bulge.
079 A11072+1302 Contains multiple bright knots; peculiar galaxy, a likely merger.
080 NGC 3605 Light of the larger companion galaxy NGC 3607 needed to be modeled out prior to the ellipse-fitting step.
088 A11336+5829 The positional angle listed in the UGC catalog has an incorrect sign and should be -9°(or 171°) rather than 9°.
089 NGC 3795A Named A1136+5833 in CfA I.
092 A11378+2840 Bright knots in the inner parts of an otherwise smooth galaxy.
