The catalogue of southern (d< -17) pair candidates is extracted from the ESO-LV photometric catalogue (Lauberts & Valentijn 1989, The Surface Photometry Catalogue of the ESO-Uppsala Galaxies, ESO) following Karachentsev (1972, Catalogue of Isolated Pairs of Galaxies in the Northern Hemisphere, Soobsch S.A.O. 7, 3) criteria, in the attempt to identify gravitationally interacting, non-hierarchical doubles, in low density environments. The catalogue is complete down to B=14.5 mag and is composed of 408 double candidates. 14% are E+E pairs, 35% E+S and 51% S+S.
The information about each entry in the catalague is constantly up-dated through original studies and data coming from the literature.
Here is provided the original version of the catalogue.
