HYPERLEDA. II. The homogenized HI data
After a compilation of HI data from 611 references and new observationsmade in Nançay, we produce a catalog of homogenized HI data for16781 galaxies. The homogenization is made using the EPIDEMIC methodfrom which all data are progressively converted into the adoptedstandard. The result is a catalog giving: 1) the logarithm of twice themaximum rotation velocity, log 2V_Msin i, converted to thesystem of Mathewson et al. (\cite{Mathewson1996}). This quantity isgiven without correction for inclination; 2) the HI magnitude,m21, (area of the 21-cm line width expressed in magnitude)converted to the flux system of Theureau et al. (\cite{Theureau1998});3) the HI velocity, V_HI, expressed with the optical definition (i.e.,using wavelengths instead frequencies). The typical uncertainties are:0.04 for log 2V_Msin i, 0.25 mag for m21 and 9 kms-1 for V_HI.Full Tables \ref{epidemicw}, \ref{epidemicw2}, \ref{epidemicf},\ref{epidemicf2} and Fig. \ref{profiles} are available in electronicform at http://www.edpsciences.org. Full Tables \ref{references},\ref{cataf}, \ref{newdata} and \ref{notes} are available in electronicform at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5)or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/412/57
| An image database. II. Catalogue between δ=-30deg and δ=70deg.
A preliminary list of 68.040 galaxies was built from extraction of35.841 digitized images of the Palomar Sky Survey (Paper I). For eachgalaxy, the basic parameters are obtained: coordinates, diameter, axisratio, total magnitude, position angle. On this preliminary list, weapply severe selection rules to get a catalog of 28.000 galaxies, wellidentified and well documented. For each parameter, a comparison is madewith standard measurements. The accuracy of the raw photometricparameters is quite good despite of the simplicity of the method.Without any local correction, the standard error on the total magnitudeis about 0.5 magnitude up to a total magnitude of B_T_=17. Significantsecondary effects are detected concerning the magnitudes: distance toplate center effect and air-mass effect.
| KISO survey for ultraviolet-excess galaxies. XV
The fifteenth list and identification charts of the ultraviolet-excessgalaxies are presented. These galaxies were detected on the multicolorplates taken with the Kiso Schmidt telescope for 10 survey fields. Inthe sky area of 300 square degrees 544 objects are cataloged down to thephotographic magnitude of about 17.5.
| Faint H-alpha emission objects near the equatorial selected areas
An objective-prism survey of fields centered on the 24 Kapteyn SelectedAreas along the celestial equator has resulted in the detection of 120faint H-alpha emission-line objects. Diffuse objects and stars havingmolecular bands in their spectra are not included. Only 18 of thesestars were identified in previous lists of emission-line objects.Identifications were found for an additional three stars. Images ofthese objects appear to be stellar on direct plates. The magnitude rangefor these stars is V = 10.1-19.00. Positions and V magnitudes of theseobjects are provided, as are identifications of objects which have beenreported in other lists. Frequency distributions of the apparentmagnitudes and Galactic latitudes of these emission-line objects arediscussed, and finding charts are provided.
| Study of the open cluster IC 1805
Photoelectric magnitudes and colours in the UBV system have beendetermined for 169 stars in IC 1805. The reddening is variable acrossthe cluster. The distance modulus to the cluster is estimated at 11.7 m.Star-formation activities are still in progress in the cluster region.

| Galaxies of high surface brightness
Two lists are presented which contain 621 galaxies whose surfacebrightness, as derived from their apparent magnitudes, is at least 22.0magnitudes from an area of 1 sq arcsec. The lists were compiled in anattempt to verify observationally a possible correlation between surfacebrightness and nuclear activity. Four percent of all the galaxies in anarea of 4.5 sr at declinations higher than -3 deg and galactic latitudesgreater than 20 deg are listed, including 30 Markarian, 29 Zwicky, and 7blue Haro galaxies. A morphological study of 130 of the galaxiesindicates that about half are elliptical or lenticular, 50 are compactor peculiar, and that there is an excess of elliptical and lenticularobjects in comparison with a random sample. Notes on the morphologicaltypes and colors of the galaxies are provided along with identificationcharts.
