We present an all-sky catalog of 869 nearby galaxies having individual distance estimates within 11 Mpc or corrected radial velocities VLG < 600 km s−1. The catalog is a renewed and expanded version of the Catalog of Neighboring Galaxies by Karachentsev et al. It collects data on the following galaxy observables: angular diameters, apparent magnitudes in far-UV, B, and Ks bands, Hα and H i fluxes, morphological types, H i-line widths, radial velocities, and distance estimates. In this Local Volume (LV) sample, 108 dwarf galaxies still remain without measured radial velocities. The catalog yields also calculated global galaxy parameters: linear Holmberg diameter, absolute B magnitude, surface brightness, H i mass, stellar mass estimated via K-band luminosity, H i rotational velocity corrected for galaxy inclination, indicative mass within the Holmberg radius, and three kinds of “tidal index,” which quantify the local density environment. The catalog is supplemented with data based on the local galaxies, which presents their optical and available Hα images, as well as other services. We briefly discuss the Hubble flow within the LV and different scaling relations that characterize galaxy structure and global star formation in them. We also trace the behavior of the mean stellar mass density, H i-mass density, and star formation rate density within the volume considered.

The WISE AGN Catalog (2017, background): “…only an issue for the largest galaxies such as the LMC, SMC and M31, we conservatively consider all galaxies listed in the Catalog and Atlas of the Local Volume Galaxies (LVG; Karachentsev et al. 2013)7, as well as all sources in the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog (XSC; Skrutskie et al. 2006).”
Quenching and ram pressure stripping of simulated Milky Way satellite galaxies (2017, background): “The data of Karachentsev et al. (2013) of galaxies within the local volume (≤ 11 Mpc) give a much steeper slope for satellite galaxies based on galaxy types, with a lower quenched fraction at 108 M , but the quenched fraction at 106 M is less than 70%, lower than the 90% quenched fraction in Auriga…”

The catalogue of extragalactic distances (2014, background): “The second spike around 4–5 Mpc marks the systematic study of the Local Volume (Karachentsev et al. 2013), where the most prominent groups of galaxies lie around Cen A, M 81, IC 342 and several other giant galaxies are situated about 3–4 Mpc away from the Milky Way.”
