431. Catalog of double nucleus disk galaxies
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/128/62
Title:
Catalog of double nucleus disk galaxies
Short Name:
J/AJ/128/62
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have compiled a catalog of disk galaxies that have a double nucleus, through systematic examination of existing catalogs and publications. The Catalog of Double Nucleus Disk Galaxies includes 107 objects, together with their basic data. The aim of the catalog is to provide a more systematic and homogeneous basis for the study of the relevance of galaxy interactions and minor mergers in the formation of these double nuclei. We have also investigated possible correlations between geometric and photometric parameters of the double nuclei and their host galaxies. The preliminary results indicate the presence of several significant correlations that should be considered in any theoretical scenario describing minor mergers and disk galaxy evolution
432. Catalog of galaxies around PKS 0405-123

Catalog of galaxies around PKS 0405-123

Description:
We present new absorption-line analysis and new galaxy survey data obtained for the field around PKS 0405-123 at z_QSO_=0.57. Combining previously known OVI absorbers with new identifications in the higher S/N ultraviolet (UV) spectra obtained with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, we have established a sample of 7 OVI absorbers and 12 individual components at z=0.0918-0.495 along the sightline towards PKS 0405-123. We complement the available UV absorption spectra with galaxy survey data that reach 100 percent completeness at projected distances {rho}<200kpc of the quasar sightline for galaxies as faint as 0.1L* (0.2L*) out to redshifts of z~0.35 (z~0.5). The high level of completeness achieved at faint magnitudes by our survey reveals that OVI absorbers are closely associated with gas-rich environments containing at least one low-mass, emission-line galaxy. An intriguing exception is a strong OVI system at z~0.183 that does not have a galaxy found at {rho}<4Mpc, and our survey rules out the presence of any galaxies of L>0.04L* at {rho}<250kpc and any galaxies of L>0.3L* at {rho}<1Mpc. We further examine the galactic environments of OVI absorbers and those 'Ly{alpha}-only' absorbers with neutral hydrogen column density log N(HI)<13.6 and no detectable OVI absorption features. The Ly{alpha}-only absorbers serve as a control sample in seeking the discriminating galactic features that result in the observed Ovi absorbing gas at large galactic radii. We find a clear distinction in the radial profiles of mean galaxy surface brightness around different absorbers. Specifically, Ovi absorbers are found to reside in regions of higher mean surface brightness at {rho}<~500kpc ({Delta}{mu}_R_~+5magMpc^-2^ relative to the background at {rho}>500kpc), while only a mild increase in galaxy surface brightness is seen at small {rho} around Ly{alpha}-only absorbers ({Delta}{mu}_R_~+2magMpc^-2^). The additional insights gained from our deep galaxy survey demonstrate the need to probe the galaxy populations to low luminosities in order to better understand the nature of the absorbing systems.
433. Catalog of Galaxies Behind the Milky Way

Title:
Catalog of Galaxies Behind the Milky Way
Short Name:
VII/140
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This catalog, giving about 7000 galaxies behind the Milky Way between l = 210 degrees and 250 degrees, represents a systematic search for galaxies by means of 32 film copies of the UK Schmidt Southern Infrared Atlas on the Milky Way covering about 900 square degrees. In the search galaxies with apparent sizes greater than 0.1 mm on film (6.7 arcsec in size) were detected by visual inspection. The material and procedure of search are described as well as the detectability of galaxies in paper I and paper II appended before Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 of the catalog, respectively, which have been published in Publ. Astron. Soc. Japan, Vol. 42 (1990) and Vol. 43 (1991). The parameters of catalogued galaxies are also explained in paper I. Cross-identifications with other catalogs are shown in the last column. The search was performed by undergraduate students of a galactic astronomy program in Department of Astronomy, Kyoto University, in 1988 and 1989. Since the main researchers changed from the search in 1988 (Vol. 1) to that in 1989 (Vol. 2), a surface brightness level determining the extents of galaxy images somewhat differs between Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, yielding a difference of mean number densities of the detected galaxies between Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. The difference is examined in paper II. The detectability of galaxies, especially of smallest galaxies, increased in the overlap zones of adjacent fields of the Atlas; the effects are discussed in a paper (Yamada and Saito 1991, to appear in Publ. Astron. Soc. Japan, Vol. 43). In spite of such inhomogeneities in search for galaxies, the catalog is useful as a finding list of bright galaxies, peculiar galaxies, and nearby clusters of galaxies in the region behind the Milky Way. The machine-readable version of the catalog has been made through efforts of Mr. Shogo Nishida, Mr. Tadafumi Takata, and Professor Shiro Nishimura. This will be distributed upon request from Astronomical Data Analysis Center of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and other astronomical data centers.

434. Catalog of high and low SB disk galaxies
ID:

Title:
Catalog of high and low SB disk galaxies
Short Name:
J/A+A/412/633
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have compiled and homogenized a sample of high and low SB disk galaxies with available photometry in the B and K bands, velocity line-widths and HI integral fluxes. Several parameters that trace the luminous, baryonic and dark matter contents were inferred. We investigated how these parameters do vary with different galaxy properties, and confronted the results with predictions of galaxy evolutionary models in the context of the {Lambda} Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) cosmogony. The fractions of dark, baryonic and luminous matter inside disk sizes (for observations and models) depend mainly on the disk surface density (or brightness). We have not found significant correlations of these fractions on galaxy scale or luminosity, contrary to what has been reported in previous works, based on the analysis of rotation curve shapes. We discuss this difference and state the importance to solve the controversy. The broad agreement between the models and observations presented here favors the LCDM scenario. However, the excess of dark matter inside the optical region of disk galaxies remains as the main difficulty.
435. Catalog of Ly{alpha} emitters

Title:
Catalog of Ly{alpha} emitters
Short Name:

CDS
Description:
We present a measurement of the fraction of Lyman {alpha} (Ly{alpha}) emitters (X_Ly{alpha}_) amongst HST continuum-selected galaxies at 3<z<6 with the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the VLT. Making use of the first 24 MUSE-Wide pointings in GOODS-South, each having an integration time of 1h, we detect 100Ly{alpha} emitters and find X_Ly{alpha}_>~0.5 for most of the redshift range covered, with 29 per cent of the Ly{alpha} sample exhibiting rest equivalent widths (rest-EWs)<=15{AA}. Adopting a range of rest-EW cuts (0~75{AA}), we find no evidence of a dependence of XLy{alpha} on either redshift or ultraviolet luminosity.
436. Catalog of merging galaxies
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/181/233
Title:
Catalog of merging galaxies
Short Name:
J/ApJS/181/233
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a new catalog and images of interacting and merging galaxies obtained with morphological identification from Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope observations. We first used a morphological pattern recognition searching routine to select possible candidates, and then visually inspected the images of these candidates to identify true merging/interacting sources. We discover 15147 new pairs of merging galaxies within 422deg^2^ of Red Sequence Cluster Survey 2. Furthermore, we also find nine new candidates of galaxy clusters by searching for regions with significant density enhancements of merging galaxies. This catalog has the largest number of morphologically identified interacting and merging galaxies based on consistent searching criteria. These sources provide a uniform sample of merging galaxies for further photometric and spectroscopic studies of galaxy evolution.
437. Catalog of M31 SNR candidates
ID:

Title:
Catalog of M31 SNR candidates
Short Name:
J/ApJ/786/130
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a survey of optically emitting supernova remnants (SNRs) in M31 based on H{alpha} and [S II] images in the Local Group Survey. Using these images, we select objects that have [S II]:H{alpha}>0.4 and circular shapes. We identify 156 SNR candidates, of which 76 are newly found objects. We classify these SNR candidates according to two criteria: the SNR progenitor type (Type Ia and core-collapse (CC) SNRs) and the morphological type. Type Ia and CC SNR candidates make up 23% and 77%, respectively, of the total sample. Most of the CC SNR candidates are concentrated in the spiral arms, while the Type Ia SNR candidates are rather distributed over the entire galaxy, including the inner region. The CC SNR candidates are brighter in H{alpha} and [S II] than the Type Ia SNR candidates. We derive a cumulative size distribution of the SNR candidates, finding that the distribution of the candidates with 17<D<50 pc is fitted well by a power law with the power-law index {alpha}=2.53+/-0.04. This indicates that most of the SNR candidates identified in this study appear to be in the Sedov-Taylor phase. The [S II]:H{alpha} distribution of the SNR candidates is bimodal, with peaks at [S II]:H{alpha}~0.4 and~0.9. The properties of these SNR candidates vary little with the galactocentric distance. The H{alpha} and [S II] surface brightnesses show a good correlation with the X-ray luminosity of the SNR candidates that are center-bright.

Description:
We present a detailed (U-V) color-magnitude relation (CMR) analysis for three local (z<0.06) clusters of galaxies. From square-degree imaging of the Abell clusters A85, A496, and A754, we select 637 galaxies down to L~0.1L_V_^*^ with spectroscopic membership, which minimizes uncertain field contamination corrections.
439. Catalog of neighboring galaxies

Title:
Catalog of neighboring galaxies
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present an all-sky catalog of 451 nearby galaxies, each having an individual distance estimate D<~10Mpc or a radial velocity V_LG_<550km/s. The catalog contains data on basic optical and H I properties of the galaxies, in particular, their diameters, absolute magnitudes, morphological types, circumnuclear region types, optical and H I surface brightnesses, rotational velocities, and indicative mass-to-luminosity and H I mass-to-luminosity ratios, as well as a so-called tidal index, which quantifies the galaxy environment. We expect the catalog completeness to be roughly 70%-80% within 8Mpc.

Catalog of NGC 300 planetary nebula candidates

Description:
[OIII]5007 Angstroms on-band off-band images, obtained with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) and FORS2 spectrograph in two zones (center and outskirts) of the spiral galaxy NGC300, are analyzed searching for emission line objects. In particular we search for planetary nebula (PN) candidates to analyze their distribution and luminosity properties, to perform follow-up spectroscopy, and to study the planetary nebula luminosity function, PNLF. In the continuum-subtracted images, a large number of emission line objects were detected. From this sample we selected as PN candidates those objects with stellar appearance and no detectable central star. [OIII]5007 instrumental magnitudes were measured and calibrated by using spectrophotometric data from the follow-up spectroscopy.We have identified more than a hundred PN candidates and a number of compact HII regions. The PN sample is the largest one reported for this galaxy so far. For all the objects we present coordinates, instrumental [OIII]5007 magnitudes and apparent nebular [OIII]5007 fluxes and magnitudes. The [OIII]5007 observed luminosity function for PNe (PNLF) was calculated for the whole sample and for the central and outskirts samples. The three PNLF are similar within uncertainties. We fit the empirical PNLF to the observed PNLF for all the samples. From our best fit for the whole sample we derived a maximum value for the apparent magnitudes of m_star(5007)_=22.019+/-0.022 and we obtained a tentative estimate of the distance modulus m(5007)-M(5007)=26.29^+0.12^_-0.22_mag, which agrees well with the recent value derived from Cepheid stars.
