411. Rho Oph Near-IR Positions and Photometry
ID:

Title:
Rho Oph Near-IR Positions and Photometry
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This catalog contains the tabulated results from a three-color (JHK) near-Infrared imaging survey of the Rho Ophiuchi star-forming cloud core. The NIR imaging observations were acquired using the SQIID instrument on the Kitt Peak 1.3m telescope from June 4-10, 1993 and April 23-28, 1994. The survey covered one square degree (2.2pc by 2.2pc). The catalog contains 4495 sources with both J2000.0 and B1950.0 coordinates for each source and its J, H, and K magnitudes and/or upper their limits. The Rho Ophiuchi clouds are of great interest for star formation studies, since they include the nearest example of a currently forming star cluster. The absolute positions in RA and Dec were determined for each individual source by using a centering algorithm in the IRAF package APPHOT to obtain center positions in pixels which were then merged into a single common positional grid. Absolute stellar coordinates were determined by comparing the authors positional database with the positions of 36 HST Guide Star Catalog stars spread out over the survey field. These were used to determine a plate scale and rotation which was used to generate the final list of source positions. The position determination technique and the photometric data reduction and calibration is discussed in detail in the source reference.
412. rho Oph proper motions and photometry

Title:
rho Oph proper motions and photometry

Description:
We aim at performing a kinematic census of young stellar objects (YSOs) in the rho Ophiuchi F core and partially in the E core of the L1688 dark cloud. We run a proper motion program at the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT) with the Son of ISAAC (SOFI) instrument over nine years in the near-infrared. We complemented these observations with various public image databases to enlarge the time base of observations and the field of investigation to 0.5{deg}x0.5{deg}. We derived positions and proper motions for 2213 objects. From these, 607 proper motions were derived from SOFI observations with a ~1.8mas/yr accuracy while the remaining objects were measured only from auxiliary data with a mean precision of about 3mas/yr. We performed a kinematic analysis of the most accurate proper motions derived in this work, which allowed us to separate cluster members from field stars and to derive the mean properties of the cluster. From the kinematic analysis we derived a list of 68 members and 14 candidate members, comprising 26 new objects with a high membership probability.

rho Oph region revisited with Gaia EDR3

Description:
Young and embedded stellar populations are important probes of the star formation process. Their properties and the environments they create have the potential to affect the formation of new planets. Paradoxically, we have a better census of nearby embedded young populations than of the slightly more evolved optically visible young populations. The high accuracy measurements and all-sky coverage of Gaia data are about to change this situation. This work aims to construct the most complete sample to date of YSOs in the {rho} Oph region. We compile a catalog of 1114 Ophiuchus YSOs from the literature and crossmatch it with the Gaia EDR3, Gaia-ESO, and APOGEE-2 surveys. We apply a multivariate classification algorithm to this catalog to identify new, co- moving population candidates. We find 191 high-fidelity new YSO candidates in the Gaia EDR3 catalog belonging to the {rho} Oph region. The new sources appear to be mainly Class III M-stars and substellar objects and are less extincted than the known members, while we find that 28 of previously unknown sources are YSOs with circumstellar disks (Class I or Class II). The analysis of the proper motion distribution of the entire sample reveals a well-defined bimodality, implying two distinct populations sharing a similar 3D volume. The first population comprises young stars' clusters around the {rho} Ophiuchi star and the main Ophiuchus clouds (L1688, L1689, L1709). In contrast, the second population is slightly older (~10Myr), more dispersed, has a distinct proper motion, and is possibly from the Upper-Sco group. The two populations are moving away from each other at about 4.1km/s and will no longer overlap in about 4Myr. Finally, we flag 17 sources in the literature sample as likely impostors, which are sources that exhibit large deviations from the average properties of the {rho} Oph population. Our results show the importance of accurate 3D space and motion information for improved stellar population analysis.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This is an all-sky catalog of 4073 rich clusters of galaxies, each having at least 30 members within the magnitude range m_3_ to m_3_ + 2 (m_3_ is the magnitude of the third brightest cluster member) and each with a nominal redshift less than 0.2. The southern data have been collected from a survey of UK 1.2 m Schmidt telescope IIIa-J plates and films and have been reduced to the systems defined by the northern data previously published by G.O. Abell. A revised northern catalog, including Bautz-Morgan types and redshifts where known, is also included.

Title:
Ridges in the Dark Energy Survey
Short Name:

Description:
Cosmic voids and their corresponding redshift-aggregated projections of mass densities, known as troughs, play an important role in our attempt to model the large-scale structure of the Universe. Understanding these structures leads to tests comparing the standard model with alternative cosmologies, constraints on the dark energy equation of state, and provides evidence to differentiate among gravitational theories. In this paper, we extend the subspace-constrained mean shift algorithm, a recently introduced method to estimate density ridges, and apply it to 2D weak-lensing mass density maps from the Dark Energy Survey Y1 data release to identify curvilinear filamentary structures. We compare the obtained ridges with previous approaches to extract trough structure in the same data, and apply curvelets as an alternative wavelet-based method to constrain densities. We then invoke the Wasserstein distance between noisy and noiseless simulations to validate the denoising capabilities of our method. Our results demonstrate the viability of ridge estimation as a precursor for denoising weak lensing quantities to recover the large-scale structure, paving the way for a more versatile and effective search for troughs.
416. Robust detection of CID double stars in SDSS

Robust detection of CID double stars in SDSS
Short Name:

Publisher:

Description:
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) offers a unique possibility of not only detecting colour induced displacement (CID) double stars but also confirming these detections. Successive cuts are applied to the SDSS data release (DR) 12 database to reduce the size of the sample under consideration. The resulting dataset is then screened with a criterion based on the distance and orientation of the photocentres in different photometric bands. About 3200 distinct objects are classified as CID double stars, 40 of which are confirmed with at least a second detection. A consistency check further validates these detections.
417. ~17000 runaways stars from the Orion Nebula Cluster

~17000 runaways stars from the Orion Nebula Cluster

Description:
We use Gaia DR2 to hunt for runaway stars from the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC). We search a region extending 45{deg} around the ONC and out to 1 kpc to find sources that have overlapped in angular position with the cluster in the last ~10Myr. We find ~17000 runaway/walkaway candidates that satisfy this 2D traceback condition. Most of these are expected to be contaminants, e.g., caused by Galactic streaming motions of stars at different distances. We thus examine six further tests to help identify real runaways, namely: (1) possessing young stellar object (YSO) colors and magnitudes based on Gaia optical photometry; (2) having IR excess consistent with YSOs based on 2MASS and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer photometry; (3) having a high degree of optical variability; (4) having closest approach distances well-constrained to within the cluster half-mass radius; (5) having ejection directions that avoid the main Galactic streaming contamination zone; and (6) having a required radial velocity (RV) for 3D overlap of reasonable magnitude (or, for the 7% of candidates with measured RVs, satisfying 3D traceback). Thirteen sources, not previously noted as Orion members, pass all these tests, while another twelve are similarly promising, except they are in the main Galactic streaming contamination zone. Among these 25 ejection candidates, ten with measured RVs pass the most restrictive 3D traceback condition. We present full lists of runaway/walkaway candidates, estimate the high-velocity population ejected from the ONC, and discuss its implications for cluster formation theories via comparison with numerical simulations.
418. Runaway stars in the 30 Doradus region of the LMC

Runaway stars in the 30 Doradus region of the LMC
Short Name:
J/AJ/156/98
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalog of relative proper motions for 368787 stars in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), based on a dedicated two-epoch survey with the Hubble Space Telescope and supplemented with proper motions from our pilot archival study. We demonstrate that a relatively short epoch difference of three years is sufficient to reach a level of precision of ~0.1 mas/yr or better. A number of stars with relative proper motions exceeding a 3{sigma} error threshold represent a mixture of Milky Way denizens and 18 potential LMC runaway stars. Based upon 183 VFTS OB stars with the best proper motions, we conclude that none of them moves faster than ~0.3 mas/yr in each coordinate-equivalent to ~70 km/s. Among the remaining 351 VFTS stars with less accurate proper motions, only one candidate OB runaway can be identified. We rule out any OB star in our sample moving at a tangential velocity exceeding ~120 km/s. The most significant result of this study is finding 10 stars over a wide range of masses that appear to have been ejected from the massive star cluster R136 in the tangential plane to angular distances from 35" out to 407", equivalent to 8-98 pc. The tangential velocities of these runaways appear to be correlated with apparent magnitude, indicating a possible dependence on the stellar mass. Lastly, a comparison to proper motions from Gaia DR 2 shows that for several relatively bright stars the DR 2 has an unexpected scatter that cannot be accounted for by the formal errors.

Title:
Ruprecht 147 DANCe. I.
Short Name:
J/A+A/625/A115
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Ruprecht 147 is the oldest (2.5Gyr) open cluster in the solar vicinity (<300pc), making it an important target for stellar evolution studies and exoplanet searches. We aim to derive a census of members and the luminosity, mass, and spatial distributions of the cluster. We used an astro-photometric data set including all available information from the literature together with our own observations. We processed the data with an updated version of an existent membership selection methodology. We identify 259 high-probability candidate members, including 58 previously unreported. All these candidates cover the luminosity interval between G>6mag to i<21mag. The cluster luminosity and mass distributions are derived with an unprecedented level of details allowing us to recognize, among other features, the Wielen dip. The mass distribution in the low-mass regime drops sharply at 0.4M_{sun}_ even though our data are sensitive to stellar masses down to 0.1M_{sun}_, suggesting that most very-low-mass members left the cluster as the result of its dynamical evolution. In addition, the cluster is highly elongated (ellipticity~0.5) towards the galactic plane, and mass segregated. Our combined Gaia+DANCe data set allows us to obtain an extended list of cluster candidate members, and to derive luminosity, mass, and projected spatial distributions in the oldest open cluster of the solar vicinity.
