In this area we summarize the scientific results of AMIGA activities, whose context is presented here. The related papers are listed in Refereed papers section, the data associated to these papers are in ASCII files and the highlights of the works can be found in these subsections grouped by topic:
Positions for CIG galaxies
Positions During preparatory work on the survey we searched for CIG positions in the SIMBAD database and noticed shifts with respect to the central positions...
Redshift and distances
Redshift and distances When AMIGA project started in 2003, we could find redshift data for about double number of CIG galaxies than were previously reported...
Morphologies
Morphologies Optical refinement Optical refinement In Sulentic et al. (2006) we performed a careful revision of the morphologies for the whole CIG sample based on POSS II (Second...
Isolation
The AMIGA project adopted the Catalogue of Isolated Galaxies (CIG: Karachentseva 1973) as a starting point. In our previous works we identified several CIG galaxies...
Radio continuum properties
Radio continuum properties Radio continuum emission from galaxies is unaffected by dust extinction. Such data provides a transparent window for studying star formation, active nuclei...
Molecular gas
Isolated galaxies CO molecular gas content Isolated galaxies We have CO(1-0) data for 273 AMIGA galaxies, most of them (n=186) from our own observations with...
Nuclear activity
Nuclear activity Far-infrared and radio continuum study of nuclear activity Far-infrared and radio continuum study of nuclear activity We present a study of the nuclear...
Optical specialization
Optical specialization First optical characterization of CIG First optical characterization of the CIG We undertaked the analysis of the global properties of the nearly...
