Abstract:
    We present a catalog of near-infrared properties of LEDA galaxies,
    using the full resolution images from the DENIS survey. The fluxes are
    integrated in eight homothetic ellipses defined by their proper axis
    ratio, position angle and major axis (up to twice the blue diameter at
    the isophote 25mag/arcsec^2^) extracted from the LEDA database. From
    the curves of growth in I, J and K_ms_ photometric bands, we estimated
    different apparent magnitudes and diameters ("total", "Kron" and
    "isophotal"). Isophotal parameters refer to the limiting surface
    brightnesses : 22.5(Imag)/arcsec^2^, 21.0(Jmag)/arcsec^2^ and
    20.0(K_ms_mag)/arcsec^2^ for the three photometric bands,
    respectively. The result is a catalog of 753 153 objects (among
    which there are 508 224 galaxies, 34 449 probable galaxies and 210 480
    galaxies to be confirmed). The catalog gives about (the figures vary,
    depending on the considered magnitude or diameter) : 668 000 I-band
    magnitudes, 576 000 J-band magnitudes, 357 000 K_ms_-band magnitudes
    and 452 000 I-band diameters, 299 000 J-band diameters, 114 000
    K_ms_-band diameters.

    The typical standard deviations for I, J and K_ms_ magnitudes are
    0.14, 0.15 and 0.25, respectively, for magnitudes limited at I=16,
    J=15 and K_ms_=14. The contamination by superimposed objects
    probably remains the major source of problems and could require future
    improvement. The completeness limits in magnitude are about : 15.5,
    14.5 and 13 in I, J and K_ms_, respectively.

Description:
     The catalog is sorted according to the field 1 (right ascension and
     declination for 2000).
     There are 753153 lines of 359 characters each.
     Unknown values are either 0.00 (or 9.99 if 0.00 is allowed)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): Names that correspond to a multiple system are written in parenthesis.
    Names that do not agree with NED identification have been written with
    a question mark (?). Names that have been moved from one galaxy to
    another since the first PGC (1989A&AS...80..299) catalog have been
    written with an exclamation point (!).

Note (2): Object nature is:
      G = confirmed galaxies
      g = possible galaxies
      ? = object to be confirmed

Note (3): Parameter G to characterize the nature of the object for not
    confirmed galaxies. The higher the parameter, the more secure the
    acceptation as galaxy.
          G = -2.5log(f_maxi_) + 2.5log(S_central_),
    where f_maxi_ is the central peak flux (calibrated and corrected for
    extinction) and S_central_ is the surface area of the central region.

Note (4): Flags of quality:
    Each flag has a value 0 when there is no problem or 1 when one can
    suspect the data to be affected. The flags characterize the following
    features (in this order from the left to the right) :
    - flag 1 for quality of zero point,
    - flag 2 for quality of the night,
    - flag 3 for quality of the position of the object within the frame
             (edge effect),
    - flag 4 for superimposed sources.
