Scientific paper

Photoelectric aperture photometry of nearly 2000 individual observations of 449 elliptical galaxies combined with published measurements using the self-consistent UVB color catalog developed by Burstein et al. (1987) are presented. The data are placed on a standard magnitude and color system, and 'total' magnitudes and effective diameters are derived by comparison with the standard elliptical magnitude growth curve. A graphical representation of the standard growth curve and the residuals from it for each galaxy are given, and a new diameter measurement Dn is presented which can be measured reliably for elliptical galaxies and serves as an accurate distance indicator when combined with central velocity dispersion. Individual magnitudes, surface brightnesses, effective diameters, and values of Dn are summarized for each galaxy in catalog form.
