Beginning of ReadMe : J/PASP/125/2 Galaxy Zoo: A catalog of overlapping galaxy pairs (Keel+, 2013) ================================================================================ Galaxy Zoo: A catalog of overlapping galaxy pairs for dust studies. Keel W.C., Manning A.M., Holwerda B.W., Mezzoprete M., Lintott C.J., Schawinski K., Gay P., Masters K.L. <Publ. Astron. Soc.

We present a catalog of 1990 such galaxy pairs selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) by volunteers of the Galaxy Zoo project. We highlight subsamples which are particularly useful for retrieving such properties of the dust distribution as UV extinction, the extent perpendicular to the disk plane, and extinction in the inner parts of disks. The sample spans wide ranges of morphology and surface brightness, opening up the possibility of using this technique to address systematic changes in dust extinction or distribution with galaxy type. This sample will form the basis for forthcoming work on the ranges of dust distributions in local disk galaxies, both for their astrophysical implications and as the low-redshift part of a study of the evolution of dust properties. Separate lists and figures show deep overlaps, where the inner regions of the foreground galaxy are backlit, and the relatively small number of previously-known overlapping pairs outside the SDSS DR7 sky coverage. Description: The bulk of this catalog consists of pairs originally selected by volunteer members of the Galaxy Zoo project, http://www.galaxyzoo.org .
