我们介绍了一个增值的全天星系目录，名为先进探测器时代的银河系列表，或GLADE。本目录的目的是：(1)帮助确定引力波事件的候选宿主；(2)支持对候选引力波的电磁后续观测的目标选择；(3)为天体物理或宇宙学模拟提供关于局部宇宙物质分布的输入数据；以及(4)帮助确定局部电磁瞬变的候选宿主，例如用行星际网络观测到的伽马射线暴。两者都是引力波的潜在天体物理源，GLADE也包括非活动星系和活动星系。GLADE是通过交叉匹配和组合来自五个独立的(但不是独立的)天文星表的数据构建的：GWGC、2MPZ、2MASS XSC、HyperLEDA和SDSS-DR12Q。就光度距离dL内星系的累积B波段光度而言，GLADE是完整的，直到dL=37+3−4Mpc，它包含了所有最亮的星系，提供了直到dL=91Mpc的全部B波段光度的一半。由于B波段光度有望成为双星中子星合并的示踪物(目前GW+EM联合探测的主要目标)，我们的完备性度量可以用来估计局部宇宙中包含所有双星中子星合并主机的完备性。
We introduce a value-added full-sky catalogue of galaxies, named as Galaxy List for the Advanced Detector Era, or GLADE. The purpose of this catalogue is to (i) help identifications of host candidates for gravitational-wave events, (ii) support target selections for electromagnetic follow-up observations of gravitational-wave candidates, (iii) provide input data on the matter distribution of the local Universe for astrophysical or cosmological simulations, and (iv) help identifications of host candidates for poorly localized electromagnetic transients, such as gamma-ray bursts observed with the InterPlanetary Network. Both being potential hosts of astrophysical sources of gravitational waves, GLADE includes inactive and active galaxies as well. GLADE was constructed by cross-matching and combining data from five separate (but not independent) astronomical catalogues: GWGC, 2MPZ, 2MASS XSC, HyperLEDA, and SDSS-DR12Q. GLADE is complete up to dL=37+3−4Mpc in terms of the cumulative B-band luminosity of galaxies within luminosity distance dL, and contains all of the brightest galaxies giving half of the total B-band luminosity up to dL=91Mpc. As B-band luminosity is expected to be a tracer of binary neutron star mergers (currently the prime targets of joint GW+EM detections), our completeness measures can be used as estimations of completeness for containing all binary neutron star merger hosts in the local Universe.
