Description

We present the Photometry and Rotation Curve Observations from Extragalactic Surveys (PROBES) compendium of extended rotation curves for 3163 late-type spirals, with matching homogeneous multi-band photometry for 1677 of them. The raw data are given in the profiles.zip file. These .prof files contain the surface brightness profiles and rotation curves for each galaxy. The columns each profile are described in README_profiles. Also included are .aux files which give details of the photometry extraction with AutoProf.

The reduced data are contained in various .csv files. Each galaxy has a unique name which is given in the first column of each table. The file main_table.csv contains high level information about every galaxy including redshift, morphology, and which photometric bands are available. The model_fits.csv file contains fitting parameters for a number of parametric models which describe either the rotation curves or surface brightness profiles. The structural_parameters.csv file contains structural parameters such as the effective radius or absolute magnitude for every galaxy which has the relevant data. The columns in each table are described in the README_tables file.
