Abstract

We present the Photometry and Rotation Curve Observations from Extragalactic Surveys (PROBES) compendium of extended rotation curves for 3163 late-type spirals, with matching homogeneous multiband photometry for 1677 of them. PROBES rotation curves originally extracted from Hα long-slit spectra and aperture synthesis H i (21cm) velocity maps typically extend out to a median 2 R e (or 1 R 23.5,r ). Our uniform photometry takes advantage of GALEX, DESI-LIS, and WISE images and the software AutoProf to yield multiband azimuthally averaged surface brightness profiles that achieve depths greater than 25 mag arcsec−2 (FUV, NUV), 27 mag arcsec−2 (g, r), and 26 mag arcsec−2 (z, W1, and W2). With its library of spatially resolved profiles and an extensive table of structural parameters, the versatile PROBES data set will benefit studies of galaxy structure and formation.
