- Description:
- In this work we present the results of photometrical study of 85 objects from the updated sample of galaxies residing in the nearby Lynx-Cancer void. The images in filters u,g,r,i from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey database are used for photometry. The following model-independent parameters are obtained: integrated magnitudes and colours, effective radii and the respective surface brightnesses, optical and Holmberg radii. On results of the radial surface brightness profile analysis, their central values and scalelengths of model discs are derived. The colours of the outer parts of void galaxies are examined and compared to those of the model evolutionary tracks of the PEGASE2 package. This allowed to obtain estimates of the time since the epoch of star formation T_SF_. Among the latter group, the low-luminosity objects with M_B_>-13.2 dominate. The derived integrated absolute magnitudes and colours are used for galaxy stellar mass estimates. All available data on integrated galaxy HI fluxes are used to derive their parameter M(HI)/L_B_ and to estimate their gas mass-fraction. The small ~10% subgroup of the most gas-rich galaxies, with M(HI)/L_B_>2.5, shows gas mass-fractions reaching (94-99)%. Many of these objects also show atypically blue colours of their outer parts. To check possible statistical differences of void galaxy properties and galaxy samples formed with more general criteria, we compared the void sample galaxy parameters with those of 195 galaxies from the Equatorial Survey (ES), formed as a part of the blind HI survey HIPASS. In the common luminosity range (-18.5<M_g_<-13.5) the compared samples show similarity. The lowest luminosity void galaxies differ from the main ES sample. However, there are also ~7% faint so called 'inchoate' galaxies among ES sample with the elevated parameter M(HI)/L_B_, majority of which are situated far from massive neighbours and are probably the analogs of void galaxies.

- Description:
- Based on spectroscopy and multiband wide-field observations of the gravitationally lensed quasar HE 0435-1223, we determine the probability distribution function of the external convergence {kappa}_ext_ for this system. We measure the under/overdensity of the line of sight towards the lens system and compare it to the average line of sight throughout the Universe, determined by using the CFHTLenS (The Canada France Hawaii Lensing Survey) as a control field. Aiming to constrain {kappa}_ext_ as tightly as possible, we determine under/overdensities using various combinations of relevant informative weighting schemes for the galaxy counts, such as projected distance to the lens, redshift and stellar mass. We then convert the measured under/overdensities into a {kappa}_ext_ distribution, using ray-tracing through the Millennium Simulation. We explore several limiting magnitudes and apertures, and account for systematic and statistical uncertainties relevant to the quality of the observational data, which we further test through simulations. Our most robust estimate of {kappa}_ext_ has a median value {kappa}^med^_ext_=0.004 and a standard deviation {sigma}_{kappa}_=0.025. The measured {sigma}_{kappa}_ corresponds to 2.5 per cent relative uncertainty on the time delay distance, and hence the Hubble constant H_0_ inferred from this system. The median {kappa}^med^_ext_ value varies by ~0.005 with the adopted aperture radius, limiting magnitude and weighting scheme, as long as the latter incorporates galaxy number counts, the projected distance to the main lens and a prior on the external shear obtained from mass modelling. This corresponds to just ~0.5 per cent systematic impact on H_0_. The availability of a well-constrained {kappa}_ext_ makes HE 0435-1223 a valuable system for measuring cosmological parameters using strong gravitational lens time delays.

- Description:
- As a prerequisite for cosmological studies using adaptive optics techniques, we have begun to identify and characterize faint sources in the vicinity of bright stars at high Galactic latitudes. The initial phase of this work has been a program of K_s_ imaging conducted with SOFI at the ESO NTT. From observations of 42 southern fields evenly divided between the spring and autumn skies, we have identified 391 additional stars and 1589 galaxies lying at separations <60" from candidate guide stars in the magnitude range 9.0<R<12.4. When analyzed as a "discrete deep field" with 131-arcmin^2^ area, our dataset gives galaxy number counts that agree with those derived previously over the range 16<K_s_<20.5. This consistency indicates that in the aggregate, our fields should be suitable for future statistical studies. We provide our source catalogue as a resource for users of large telescopes in the southern hemisphere.

- Description:
- We investigate the galaxies brighter than B~20 in the field of the Perseus cluster. The galaxies were selected on Schmidt CCD images in B and Halpha in combination with SDSS images. The survey field roughly covers the virial radius of the cluster. The galaxy sample is used for analysing cluster properties, such as radial profiles, indications of sub-structure, virial mass, and viral radius and is applied for a study of the cluster galaxy population with an emphasis on morphological types and peculiarities, star formation rates and active galactic nuclei.

- Description:
- We present near-infrared H-band (1.65{mu}m) surface photometry of 558 galaxies in the Coma Supercluster and in the Virgo cluster. This data set, obtained with the Arcetri NICMOS3 camera ARNICA mounted on the Gornergrat Infrared Telescope, is aimed at complementing, with observations of mostly early-type objects, our NIR survey of spiral galaxies in these regions, presented in previous papers of this series. Magnitudes at the optical radius, total magnitudes, isophotal radii and light concentration indices are derived. We confirm the existence of a positive correlation between the near-infrared concentration index and the galaxy H-band luminosity

- Description:
- We present near-infrared (H band) surface photometry of 170 galaxies, obtained in 1997 using the Calar Alto 2.2 m telescope equipped with the NICMOS3 camera MAGIC. The majority of our targets are selected among bright members of the Virgo cluster, however galaxies in the A262 and Cancer clusters and in the Coma/A1367 supercluster are also included. This data set is aimed at complementing the NIR survey in the Virgo cluster discussed in Boselli et al. (1997A&A...324L..13B) and in the Coma Supercluster, presented in Papers I, II and III of this series. Magnitudes at the optical radius, total magnitudes, isophotal radii and light concentration indices are derived.

- Description:
- We present the distribution of a statistical sample of nearby galaxies in the {kappa}-space ({kappa1}{prop.to}logM, {kappa}2{prop.to}log(Ie)^3^*M/L, {kappa}3{prop.to}M/L). Our study is based on near-IR (H-band: {lamdba}=1.65{mu}m) observations, for the first time comprising early- and late-type systems. Our data confirm that the mean effective dynamical mass-to-light ratio M/L of the E+S0+S0a galaxies increases with increasing effective dynamical mass M, as expected from the existence of the Fundamental Plane relation. Conversely, spiral and Im/BCD galaxies show broad distribution in M/L with no detected trend of M/L with M, the former galaxies having M/L values about twice larger than the latter, on average. For all the late-type galaxies, the M/L increases with decreasing effective surface intensity Ie, consistent with the existence of the Tully-Fisher relation.

- Description:
- We report the results of a survey of the region within 40 arcmin of NGC 891, a nearby nearly perfectly edge-on spiral galaxy. Candidate "non-stars" with diameters greater than 15 arcsec were selected from the GSC 2.3.2 catalog and cross-comparison of observations in several bands using archived GALEX, DSS2, WISE, and Two Micron All Sky Survey images identified contaminating stars, artifacts, and background galaxies, all of which were excluded. The resulting 71 galaxies, many of which were previously uncataloged, comprise a size-limited survey of the region. A majority of the galaxies are in the background of NGC 891 and are for the most part members of the A347 cluster at a distance of about 75 Mpc. The new finds approximately double the known membership of A347, previously thought to be relatively sparse. We identify a total of seven dwarf galaxies, most of which are new discoveries. The newly discovered dwarf galaxies are dim and gas-poor and may be associated with the previously observed arcs of red giant branch halo stars in the halo and the prominent H I filament and the lopsided features in the disk of NGC 891. Several of the dwarfs show signs of disruption, consistent with being remnants of an ancient collision.

- Description:
- This is the fourth in a series of papers based on the ISOCAM Parallel Survey at 6.7um. While the first three papers have been devoted to active galactic nuclei (AGN), here we report on emission-line galaxies without AGN signatures in their optical spectra. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission has been found in both starbursts and modestly starforming galaxies, but the relation between starforming activity and PAH luminosity is still a matter of debate. The different correlation degrees could be caused by the variety of optical and far-infrared sample selection criteria. In order to obtain a census of the typical properties of PAH emitting galaxies, we here study moderately distant galaxies which have been selected by their PAH emission.
