Notes: Col. (1); galaxy name; Col. (2): other name; Col. (3): optical classification as
given by HFS97a: "S'' represents Seyfert, "L'' represents LINER, and "T'' represents
objects with LINER plus H II-region spectra. "2'' implies that no broad H
is detected; "1.9'' implies that broad H
is present, but not broad H ;
"1.5'' implies that both broad H
and broad H
are detected, with substantial contributions from both the BLR and NLR
(Osterbrock 1981). Objects with a changed classification with respect to the
original given by HFS97a (see also Ho et al. 1997b and HU01) are
denoted by "*'' after their name;
Col. (4): Hubble type as listed in HFS97a; Col. (5): distance from
Tully (1988), except when marked with (a) Paturel et al. (2002), (b) Cecil
et al. (2002), (c) Tonry et al. (2001), and (d) Thim et al. (2004); Col. (6):
total apparent BT magnitude of the galaxy; Cols. (7)-(8): nuclear optical
position in epoch J2000 as given by HU01.
N.B: Two sources (NGC 3031 and NGC 4579) have classifications which
fall near the somewhat arbitrary boundary between a Seyfert
and a LINER, depending on the adopted criteria. Because they are on the
Seyfert side in HFS97a, they are included here and classified as "S/L''.
In objects like NGC 676, NGC 2685, NGC 3185, NGC 4472, and NGC 4725, the starlight
subtraction process has been particularly difficult, leading to uncertain classifications.
Following HFS97b, we marked these sources with a quality rating ":''
(uncertain) or "::'' (highly uncertain).
