This is a set of a few catalogues utilised in our analyses that we have provided for those interested in the data. If using for your own work please be sure to provide proper credit to us and the sources of the original data. Data in these catalogues originates from:

• SDSS DR8 and DR16: https://www.sdss.org
• The Galex-SDSS-Wise-Legacy catalog 2: https://salims.pages.iu.edu/gswlc/
• Galaxy Zoo 2: https://data.galaxyzoo.org
• DESI Legacy DR8: https://www.legacysurvey.org
• The MPA-JHU catalog: https://www.sdss.org/dr12/spectro/galaxy_mpajhu/
• The Simard Bulge-Disk decomposition catalog: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011ApJS..196...11S/abstract

The additional catalogs have been cross matched with the SDSS DR8 volume-limited sample constructed in https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2015ApJ...809...96L/abstract

The base cross-matched catalog used in our work. Does not contain restframe WISE bands.

The final cross-matched catalog containing additional matches to DESI Legacy bands and the respective r-band offsets and k-corrections computed for WISE bands as described in Appendix C of Fielder et al. 2021. This catalog is zipped due to its large size.

Column Description Please note that any photometry originating from the GSWLC catalog is offset by 5logh from the other photometry by h=0.7. Non GSWLC photometry is presented assuming a hubble constant H0 = 100 (km/s)/Mpc. To match GSWLC photometry to the other photometry simply subtract 5log(0.7). To match the other photometry to GSWLC simply add 5log(0.7).

Most columns are self-explanatory. AB_EXP refers to the galaxy axis ratio. The error columns is much further down labelled as expABErr_r. The model and cmodel magtiudes are from SDSS. Columns with the ending _z0P1 are calculated are redshift z=0.1, while the others are calculated at redshift 0. 'B_T_r', 'e_B_T_r', 'Rd', 'e_Rd' are all quantities from the Simard et al. 2011 Bulge-Disk decomposition catalogue. In particular, we use bulge-to-total ratio in the r-band. Columns ending with abs are the restframe absolute magnitudes from GSWLC-M2. We also include their accompanying apparent magnitudes and errors. Values marker as salim_ are quantities from the GSWLC-M2 catalogue of which we have similar quantities from SDSS and the MPA-JHU catalogue such as stellar mass and star formation rate. 'bar_probability' 'bar_votes' 'faceon_probability' 'faceon_counts' 'feature_probability' are all vote fractions and counts originating from the Galaxy Zoo 2 catalogue. W1_mAB and similar columns are the GSWLC observed photometry converted to AB magnitudes from mJy. legacy_W1 and similar columns are the observed WISE photometry in DESI Legacy DR8. legacy_restframe_W1 and similar columns refer to the k-corrected rest-frame WISE bands, calculated as described in Appendix C of Fielder et al. 2021.
