H{alpha} photometry of face-on galaxies

DOI

We present a survey of the photometric and kinematic properties of 39 nearby, nearly face-on disk galaxies. Our approach exploits echelle-resolution integral-field spectroscopy of the H{alpha} regions, obtained with DensePak on the WIYN 3.5m telescope Bench Spectrograph. These data are complemented by HI line profiles observed with the Nancay radio telescope for 25 of these sample galaxies. Twelve additional line widths are available for sample galaxies from the literature. In this paper, we introduce the goals of this survey, define the sample selection algorithm, and amass the integral field spectroscopic data and HI line widths. We establish spatially integrated H{alpha} line widths for the sample. We test the veracity of these spatially integrated line profiles by convolving narrowband imaging data with velocity field information for one of the sample galaxies, PGC 38268, and also by comparing to HI line profiles.
