Description:

The final optical and near-infrared photometry of the 176 galaxies in
our K band imaging survey is presented in Table 6. This sample is
defined in Tables 2(a) and 2(b) of B94, but includes 5 additional,
serendipitous objects as described in Section 2 of B94. The photometry
has been measured, calibrated, and otherwise corrected as described in
Section 3 of B94. These data are used in our subsequent analysis in
paper II (B95). In addition to magnitudes and colors, we include the
radius r1, defined in Sections 3.2.2 of B94. The purpose of including
this size information is to allow future studies to compare new
photometry of these objects reliably to our data. Such a comparison
must be done within comparable apertures, and calibrated in such a way
as to account for changes in image resolution (see Section 3.2.4 of
B94).  However, we warn that the tabulated r1 should NOT be considered
reliable measures of intrinsic size, since the effects of seeing are
frequently significant and NOT correctable without detailed profile
and seeing information (neither of which has been provided).  Finally,
we have included the spectroscopic redshift of each galaxy.

For the purpose of facilitating paper II (B95), galaxies have been
tabulated in five groups (Tables 6(a)-(e)) according to the spectral
types derived in paper II: bg and bk, bm, ak and am, fm, gm. A sixth
table, 6(f), contains 3 galaxies without U, and/or N photometry, or
spectral types.

In each table, column (1) contains the object serial number from the
parent catalogues, column (2) contains the field name, and columns (3)
and (4) contain the Right Ascension and Declination (1950). Column (5)
contains the sample descriptor, S: j for the magnitude limited sample
of Table 2(a) of B94; z for the color-redshift sample of Table 2(b) of
B94; and s for serendipitous.

Columns (6)-(15) are in pairs representing magnitudes or colors and
their estimated uncertainty. Only the positive root (+sigma) of the
magnitude error function is given, as defined in the Notes to Table 6
(SEE B94). Formulae are provided therein for the derivation of other
error estimates. There is a lower limit imposed of 0.03 magnitudes for
the uncertainty in each optical band, prior to any increase due to
uncertainty in the saturation correction.  No lower limit has been
stipulated for the uncertainty in the K band magnitude. Columns (6)
and (7) contain the K band total magnitude, determined within the
infrared 2r1 aperture. Matching aperture magnitudes are used in
columns (8) through (15) to produce U-J, J-F, F-N, and N-K colors and
estimated uncertainties, respectively.

Column (16) contains the K band r1 radius in arc seconds.

Column (17) contains the spectroscopic redshift (except where indicated).

Column (18) contains codes denoting potentially unreliable photometry
or redshifts, as described in the Notes to Table 6. THIS COLUMN HAS
BEEN REMOVED FROM THE ELECTRONIC DATA TABLES -- REFER TO B94 FOR THIS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
