A Catalog of Isolated Galaxy Pairs Limited to Absolute Magnitude -18.5 Drawn from HyperLEDA Database

The present paper is devoted to the construction of a catalog of isolated galaxy pairs extracted from the HyperLEDA extragalactic database. The radial velocities of the galaxies in the pairs are in the range [3000, 16000] km s−1. In order to get an unbiased pair catalog as complete as possible, we have limited the absolute magnitude of the galaxies to M ≤ −18.5. The criteria used to define the isolated galaxy pairs are the following: 1) velocity criterion: radial velocity difference between the pair members ΔV 2.5). Our final catalog contains 13 114 galaxy pairs, of which 57% are fairly isolated withρ > 5, and 30% are highly isolated with ρ ≥ 10.
