Help me please, need information on galaxies

Featured Replies

I am looking for information in the form of a table where there would be the following columns: galaxy-distance to it - the rate of removal-the mass of the galaxy-the mass of the Central black hole

Number 1 and 4 should be relatively easy.  What is number 2 supposed to mean?  Good luck on number 3.

You are not going to find all this data in one place.

There are a large number of catalogs of galaxies and redshift (recessional velocity, assuming that is what you mean by "rate of removal") here, for example: http://www.astro.ljmu.ac.uk/~ikb/research/galaxy-redshift-surveys.html

Then there are catalogs of galaxy data including mass, for example: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/W3Browse/all/neargalcat.html

One problem is that (I think) mass is only easy to measure for relatively nearby galaxies, while the distance-redshift relation only becomes significant for distant galaxies. Some of the catalogs here combine both: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/cgro/db-perl/W3Browse/w3table.pl?MissionHelp=galaxy_catalog

A short list of black holes here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_black_holes (there are more extensive catalogs)
