We present GLADE+, an extended version of the GLADE galaxy catalogue
introduced in our previous paper for multimessenger searches with advanced
gravitational-wave detectors. GLADE+ combines data from six separate but not
independent astronomical catalogues: the GWGC, 2MPZ, 2MASS XSC, HyperLEDA, and
WISExSCOSPZ galaxy catalogues, and the SDSS-DR16Q quasar catalogue. To allow
corrections of CMB-frame redshifts for peculiar motions, we calculated peculiar
velocities along with their standard deviations of all galaxies having $B$-band
magnitude data within redshift $z=0.05$ using the “Bayesian Origin
Reconstruction from Galaxies” formalism. GLADE+ is complete up to luminosity
distance $d_L=47^{+4}_{-2}$ Mpc in terms of the cumulative $B$-band luminosity
of galaxies, and contains all of the brightest galaxies giving half of the
total $B$-band luminosity up to $d_Lsimeq 250$ Mpc. We include estimations of
stellar masses and individual binary neutron star merger rates for galaxies
with $W1$ magnitudes in GLADE+. These parameters can help in ranking galaxies
in a given gravitational wave localization volume in terms of their likelihood
of being hosts, thereby possibly reducing the number of pointings and total
integration time needed to find the electromagnetic counterpart.
