Scientific paper

A catalog is presented for studying the distribution of spin angular momentum of disk galaxies. This catalog compiles the spiral winding sense, which can be used for identifying the sign of the line-of-sight component of the spin angular momentum, of 8287 spiral galaxies selected from the ESO/Uppsala Survey of the ESO (B) Atlas. The definition of the sample, description of the procedures in compiling the catalog, and the basic statistics of the sample are presented. The astrophysical significances of possible analyses based on the present catalog are emphasized in the context of various theories of galaxy formation.
