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