Spin Parity of Spiral Galaxies. I. Corroborative Evidence for Trailing Spirals

Whether the spiral structure of galaxies is trailing or leading has been a subject of debate. We present a new spin parity catalog of 146 spiral galaxies that lists the following three pieces of information: whether the spiral structure observed on the sky is S -wise or Z -wise; which side of the mi...
