In order to use the galaxies targeting approach we chose to rely on the GLADE galaxy catalog as it is the only all-sky
public galaxy catalog with a completness compatible with the LIGO-Virgo detecteur distance sensibility. In order to determine the stellar masses of the galaxies, we cross-matched it with the AllWISE catalog. For details on this cross-match see (Ducoin et al.).
Properties of each galaxy are displayed in a single line in a ecsv or hdf5 file. Columns from 1 to 23 are from GLADE catalog, columns 24 and from 28 to 42 are from AllWISE catalog, you can find more descriptions on these lines on here and here respectively. Columns 25,26,27,43 and 44 are from this work. Columns of the catalog are described in the following table:
