The DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys consist of three individual and complementary projects: the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey (DECaLS), the Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey (BASS), and the Mayall z-band Legacy Survey (MzLS). DECaLS, BASS and MzLS together include data obtained, respectively, at the Blanco telescope, Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, NSF's NOIRLab; the Bok telescope, Steward Observatory, University of Arizona; and the Mayall telescope, Kitt Peak National Observatory, NOIRLab. NOIRLab is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation. Pipeline processing and analyses of the data were supported by NOIRLab and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Legacy Surveys also uses data products from the Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE), a project of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/California Institute of Technology, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Legacy Surveys was supported by: the Director, Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics of the U.S. Department of Energy; the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, a DOE Office of Science User Facility; the U.S. National Science Foundation, Division of Astronomical Sciences; the National Astronomical Observatories of China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese National Natural Science Foundation.

The CS4G catalogue and datasets, including Table E.2 are available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr (130.79.128.5) or via https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/697/A38. The data will soon be available at IRSA, https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/data/SPITZER/S4G/overview.html. The catalogue contains all the information presented in previous samples homogenised with the methods described together with the additional bands studied in this work, the i-band (columns with suffix 3, e.g. mag3) and the converted 3.6 μm (inserted in columns with suffix 1, e.g. mag1) magnitudes. We include some extra parameters (Re, μ ¯ e , μ ¯ 1 kpc ), and inclination-corrected isophotal radii (R25.5,corr and R26.5,corr) derived for the original S4G and ETG that were not previously published. They are explained in Sect. 6. We include all the parameters queried from the HyperLeda database. We include the CVRHS morphological classification for the DG extension and for the S4G (Buta et al. 2015) and ETG samples (W2022).
