Beschreibungen
This Atlas and Catalog collects the main data products of the S4G project, including deep mid-IR imaging; total mid-IR magnitudes and color indices; mid-IR isophotal and effective diameters and axis ratios; bulge, disk, and bar scale lengths, characteristic surface bright nesses, and fractional contributions to the total luminosity; and auxiliary data from other sources, such as optical and UV magnitudes and colors, radial velocities, and distance estimates. The quantitative mid-IR parameters will be taken from the various publications of the S4G team, and will be included with appropriate references. Other parameters will be gathered from other published sources.
Part I Description of the catalog and how various parameters were derived.- Part II The S4G Catalog.- Part III The S4G Morphological Atlas.

Presents the definitive compendium of quantified galaxy morphologyOffers a powerful research tool to astronomers by presenting mid-IR observations of a well-calibrated and well-defined set of galaxiesPresents the largest galaxy atlas ever compiled in book form, revealing the morphology in the dust-penetrated infra-red part of the spectrumOffers an essential point of comparison between the appearance of local galaxies and those at cosmological distances
