Spectral Lines and Radial Velocities of Galaxies in Pairs

Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

Measures of the spectra of eighty-eight galaxies in forty-five close pairs have been reviewed and corrected. Originally measured for velocity differences used in a determination of the average masses of galaxies, they are now listed in conventional form, together with twenty-six independent measures by others. Evidence is noted for a possible systematic difference in redshift between emission and absorption lines.
