- Description:
- We report the final optical identifications of the medium-depth (~60ks), contiguous (2deg^2^) XMM-Newton survey of the COSMOS field. XMM-Newton has detected ~1800 X-ray sources down to limiting fluxes of ~5x10^-16^, ~3x10^-15^, and ~7x10^-15^erg/cm^2^/s in the 0.5-2keV, 2-10keV, and 5-10keV bands, respectively (~1x10^-15^, ~6x10^-15^, and ~1x10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s, in the three bands, respectively, over 50% of the area). The work is complemented by an extensive collection of multiwavelength data from 24um to UV, available from the COSMOS survey, for each of the X-ray sources, including spectroscopic redshifts for >~50% of the sample, and high-quality photometric redshifts for the rest. The XMM and multiwavelength flux limits are well matched: 1760 (98%) of the X-ray sources have optical counterparts, 1711 (~95%) have IRAC counterparts, and 1394 (~78%) have MIPS 24um detections. Spectroscopically identified obscured and unobscured AGNs, as well as normal and star-forming galaxies, present well-defined optical and infrared properties. We devised a robust method to identify a sample of ~150 high-redshift (z>1), obscured AGN candidates for which optical spectroscopy is not available.

- Description:
- In this paper we present the source list for three Chandra observations of the Local Group galaxy M33. The observations are centered on the nucleus and on the star-forming region NGC 604. We detect a total of 261 sources in an area of 0.2{deg}^2^ down to a flux limit of 3x10^-16^ergs/s/cm^2^, which corresponds to a luminosity of 2x10^34^ergs/s at a distance of 840kpc.

- Description:
- We study the space density evolution of active galactic nuclei (AGN) using the 610MHz radio survey of the XXL-North field, performed with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). The survey covers an area of 30.4deg^2^, with a beamsize of 6.5arcsec. The survey is divided into two parts, one covering an area of 11.9deg^2^ with 1{sigma} rms noise of 200uJy/beam and the other spanning 18.5deg^2^ with rms noise of 45uJy/beam. We extracted the catalog of radio components above 7. The catalog was cross-matched with a multi-wavelength catalog of the XXL-North field (covering about 80% of the radio XXL-North field) using a likelihood ratio method, which determines the counterparts based on their positions and their optical properties. The multi-component sources were matched visually with the aid of a computer code: Multi-Catalog Visual Cross-Matching (MCVCM). A flux density cut above 1mJy selects AGN hosts with a high purity in terms of star formation contamination based on the available source counts. After crossmatching and elimination of observational biases arising from survey incompleteness, the number of remaining sources was 1150. We constructed the rest-frame 1.4GHz radio luminosity functions of these sources using the maximum volume method. This survey allows us to probe luminosities of 23<~log(L1.4GHz[W/Hz])<~28 up to redshifts of z~=2.1. Our results are consistent with the results from the literature in which AGN are comprised of two differently evolving populations, where the high luminosity end of the luminosity functions evolves more strongly than the low-luminosity end.

- The yellow and red supergiants of M33
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/750/97
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Yellow and red supergiants are evolved massive stars whose numbers and locations on the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram can provide a stringent test for models of massive star evolution. Previous studies have found large discrepancies between the relative number of yellow supergiants (YSGs) observed as a function of mass and those predicted by evolutionary models, while a disagreement between the predicted and observed locations of red supergiants (RSGs) on the H-R diagram was only recently resolved. Here, we extend these studies by examining the YSG and RSG populations of M33. Unfortunately, identifying these stars is difficult as this portion of the color-magnitude diagram is heavily contaminated by foreground dwarfs. We identify the RSGs through a combination of radial velocities and a two-color surface gravity discriminant, and after re-characterizing the rotation curve of M33 with our newly selected RSGs, we identify the YSGs through a combination of radial velocities and the strength of the OI{lambda}7774 triplet. We examine ~1300 spectra in total and identify 121 YSGs (a sample that is unbiased in luminosity above log(L/L_{sun}_)~4.8) and 189 RSGs. After placing these objects on the H-R diagram, we find that the latest generation of Geneva evolutionary tracks shows excellent agreement with the observed locations of our RSGs and YSGs, the observed relative number of YSGs with mass, and the observed RSG upper mass limit.
14305. The young cluster IC 348.

- The young cluster IC 348.
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/497/736

- CDS
- Description:
- CCD photometry in BVRI was obtained for about 260 stars in and around IC 348, and multiobject spectroscopy for 80 of these. A somewhat larger region was surveyed for stars having H{alpha} in emission; over 110 emission-line stars brighter than about R=19 were discovered. Because H{alpha}emission could be detected to a limit near W=3{AA}, division into weak-line (WTTSs) and classical T Tauri stars (CTTSs) was possible on purely spectroscopic grounds. There is a steep rise in the number of emission-line stars below W(H{alpha})=10{AA}; the proportion of WTTSs to CTTSs in the area surveyed is 58:51. ROSAT detected only about 58% of the spectroscopic WTTSs and about 65% of the CTTSs, although these numbers are sensitive to the survey thresholds. The bulk of the ages of about 100 stars, read off the theoretical tracks of D'Antona & Mazzitelli (1994ApJS...90..467D), range between about 0.7 and 12Myr, but the emission-line stars, which are most likely to be members of IC 348, have a mean age of 1.3Myr. Allowance for unresolved binaries would increase this somewhat, but there is a firm upper limit at 2.95Myr. There is no indication that the ages of the emission-line stars depend upon W(H{alpha}): the IC 348 WTTSs as a population are not systematically older than the CTTSs, but there is a tendency for the WTTSs to be concentrated toward the center of IC 348, while the CTTSs are more widely distributed. There is a scattering of emission-H{alpha} stars over the entire area surveyed. There are too many to be explained as low-mass members of an earlier generation of star formation in Per OB2 or as foreground dMe stars. The mass frequency function, based on some 125 stars fitted to theoretical tracks, rises from 1.5M_{sun}_; to about 0.2M_{sun}_;, with a slope very much like that of the Scalo initial mass function. The optical cluster IC 348 radius is about 4.0', or 0.37pc. The total mass of optically detectable stars in this volume is 57M_{sun}_;, while the mean space density is about 520 stars/pc^3^. The amount of interstellar material remaining within the cluster is small in comparison. Star formation in the Per OB2/IC 348 region cannot be characterized by one unique age; it appears that stars have been forming in the region now occupied by the association for 10-20Myr.

- The young open cluster NGC 7067

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- NGC 7067 is a young open cluster located in the direction between the first and the second Galactic quadrants and close to the Perseus spiral arm. This makes it useful for studies of the nature of the Milky Way spiral arms. Stromgren photometry taken with the Wide Field Camera at the Isaac Newton Telescope allowed us to compute individual physical parameters for the observed stars and hence to derive the cluster's physical parameters. Spectra from the 1.93-m telescope at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence helped to check and improve the results. We obtained photometry for 1233 stars, individual physical parameters for 515 and spectra for 9 of them. The 139 selected cluster members lead to a cluster distance of 4.4+/-0.4kpc, with an age below log10(t(yr))=7.3 and a present mass of 1260+/-160M_{sun}_. The morphology of the data reveals that the centre of the cluster is at (RA, DE) = (21:24:13.69, +48:00:39.2) J2000, with a radius of 6.1-arcmin. Stromgren and spectroscopic data allowed us to improve the previous parameters available for the cluster in the literature.

- The YSO population of LDN 1340 in infrared
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present results of an infrared study of the molecular cloud Lynds 1340, forming three groups of low- and intermediate-mass stars. Our goals are to identify and characterize the young stellar population of the cloud, study the relationships between the properties of the cloud and the emergent stellar groups, and integrate L1340 into the picture of the star-forming activity of our Galactic environment. We selected candidate young stellar objects (YSOs) from the Spitzer and WISE databases using various published color criteria and classified them based on the slope of the spectral energy distribution (SED). We identified 170 Class II, 27 flat SED, and 45 Class 0/I sources. High angular resolution near-infrared observations of the RNO 7 cluster, embedded in L1340, revealed eight new young stars of near-infrared excess. The surface density distribution of YSOs shows three groups, associated with the three major molecular clumps of L1340, each consisting of <~100 members, including both pre-main-sequence stars and embedded protostars. New Herbig-Haro objects were identified in the Spitzer images. Our results demonstrate that L1340 is a prolific star-forming region of our Galactic environment in which several specific properties of the intermediate-mass mode of star formation can be studied in detail.

- The zCOSMOS 10k-bright spectroscopic sample
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/184/218
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present spectroscopic redshifts of a large sample of galaxies with I_AB_<22.5 in the COSMOS field, measured from spectra of 10644 objects that have been obtained in the first two years of observations in the zCOSMOS-bright redshift survey. These include a statistically complete subset of 10109 objects. The average accuracy of individual redshifts is 110km/s, independent of redshift. The reliability of individual redshifts is described by a Confidence Class that has been empirically calibrated through repeat spectroscopic observations of over 600 galaxies. There is very good agreement between spectroscopic and photometric redshifts for the most secure Confidence Classes. For the less secure Confidence Classes, there is a good correspondence between the fraction of objects with a consistent photometric redshift and the spectroscopic repeatability, suggesting that the photometric redshifts can be used to indicate which of the less secure spectroscopic redshifts are likely right and which are probably wrong, and to give an indication of the nature of objects for which we failed to determine a redshift. Using this approach, we can construct a spectroscopic sample that is 99% reliable and which is 88% complete in the sample as a whole, and 95% complete in the redshift range 0.5<z<0.8. The luminosity and mass completeness levels of the zCOSMOS-bright sample of galaxies is also discussed.

- Description:
- The main catalog contains positions and flux densities for 8511 sources detected in the Zelenchuk 3.9 GHz Survey with declinations between 0 and 14 degrees. The survey was originally published in Amirkhanyan et al. 1989, MIR Publ., Moscow, and contained 8511 sources. The machine version has been cleaned from a few spurious sources by the authors. The angular resolution is (RA x DEC) 70"/cos(decl) x 50'. The survey is 95 percent complete to the limiting flux density 50 mJy, except near the boundaries of the declination zone. A supplementary catalogue of 2946 radio sources observed during Zelenchuk survey at 3.9 GHz in the flux density from 40 to 50 mJy within the declination range 0-14 degrees are presented. ratan is the first results of the deep search survey over a portion of the celestial sphere with the radio telescope RATAN-600 at several cm-wavelengths. The catalogue contains 691 radio sources at 3.9 GHz. Fluxes at the frequencies 3.9, 4.8, 7.5 and 11.2 GHz have been measured for the complete sample of the radio sources from the Zelenchuk survey. The sample contains all sources with S > 200 mJy in the 4-6 degree declination range.
