- Description:
- We report results from a high-resolution optical spectroscopic survey aimed to search for nearby young associations and young stars among optical counterparts of ROSAT All-Sky Survey (<IX/10> and <IX/29>, X-ray sources in the Southern Hemisphere. We selected 1953 late-type (B-V>=0.6), potentially young, optical counterparts out of a total of 9574 1RXS sources for follow-up observations. At least one high-resolution spectrum was obtained for each of 1511 targets. This paper is the first in a series presenting the results of the SACY survey. Here we describe our sample and our observations. We describe a convergence method in the (UVW) velocity space to find associations. As an example, we discuss the validity of this method in the framework of the Beta Pic Association.

- Description:
- We present evidence for strong H{alpha} emission in galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts in the range of 3.8<z<5.0 over the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey fields. Among 74 galaxies detected in the Spitzer IRAC 3.6 and 4.5um bands, more than 70% of the galaxies show clear excess at 3.6um compared to the expected flux density from stellar continuum only. We provide evidence that this 3.6um excess is due to H{alpha} emission redshifted into the 3.6um band, and classify these 3.6um excess galaxies to be H{alpha} emitter (HAE) candidates. The selection of HAE candidates using an excess in broadband filters is sensitive to objects whose rest-frame H{alpha} equivalent width (EW) is larger than 350{AA}. The H{alpha} inferred star formation rates (SFRs) of the HAEs range between 20 and 500M_{sun}_/yr and are a factor of ~6 larger than SFRs inferred from the UV continuum. The ratio between the H{alpha} luminosity and UV luminosity of HAEs is also on average larger than that of local starbursts.

- Si and Ca high-velocity features in SNe Ia
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/220/20
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The high-velocity features (HVFs) in optical spectra of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are examined with a large sample including very early-time spectra (e.g., t<-7days). Multiple Gaussian fits are applied to examine the HVFs and their evolutions, using constraints on expansion velocities for the same species (i.e., SiII5972 and SiII6355). We find that strong HVFs tend to appear in SNe Ia with smaller decline rates (e.g., {Delta}m_15_(B)<~1.4mag), clarifying that the finding by Childress et al. (2014MNRAS.437..338C) for the Ca-HVFs in near-maximum-light spectra applies both to the Si-HVFs and Ca-HVFs in the earlier phase. The Si-HVFs seem to be more common in rapidly expanding SNe Ia, which is different from the earlier result that Ca-HVFs are associated with SNe Ia that have slower SiII6355 velocities at maximum light (i.e., V^Si^_max_). Moreover, SNe Ia with both stronger HVFs at early phases and larger V^Si^_max_ are found to have noticeably redder B-V colors and to occur preferentially in the inner regions of their host galaxies, while those with stronger HVFs but smaller V^Si^_max_ show opposite tendencies, suggesting that these two subclasses have different explosion environments and their HVFs may have different origins. We further examine the relationships between the absorption features of SiII6355 and CaII IR lines, and find that their photospheric components are well correlated in velocity and strength but that the corresponding HVFs show larger scatter. These results cannot be explained with ionization and/or thermal processes alone, and different mechanisms are required for the creation of HVF-forming regions in SNe Ia.

- sigma Ori low-mass stars

- J/MNRAS/356/89

- CDS
- Description:
- Intermediate-resolution (R~7000) spectroscopy is presented for 76 photometrically selected very low-mass (0.04<M<0.3M_{sun}_) candidate members of the young cluster around sigma Orionis (sigma Ori). More than two-thirds appear to be genuine cluster members on the basis that they exhibit Li I 6708{AA} absorption, weak Na I 8183/8195{AA} features and a radial velocity consistent with the cluster mean. Photometric selection alone therefore appears to be very effective in identifying cluster members in this mass range. Only six objects appear to be certain non-members; however, a substantial subset of 13 candidates have ambiguous or contradictory indications of membership and lack Li absorption. Together with an observed spread in the equivalent width of the Li absorption feature in the cooler stars of our sample, this indicates that there may be deficiencies in our understanding of the formation of this line in cool, low-gravity objects.

- {sigma} Orionis cluster stellar population
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/794/36
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a spectroscopic survey of the stellar population of the {sigma} Orionis cluster. We have obtained spectral types for 340 stars. Spectroscopic data for spectral typing come from several spectrographs with similar spectroscopic coverage and resolution. More than half of the stars in our sample are members confirmed by the presence of lithium in absorption, strong H{alpha} in emission or weak gravity-sensitive features. In addition, we have obtained high-resolution (R~34000) spectra in the H{alpha} region for 169 stars in the region. Radial velocities were calculated from this data set. The radial velocity distribution for members of the cluster is in agreement with previous work. Analysis of the profile of the H{alpha} line and infrared observations reveals two binary systems or fast rotators that mimic the H{alpha} width expected in stars with accretion disks. On the other hand, there are stars with optically thick disks and narrow H{alpha} profiles not expected in stars with accretion disks. This contribution constitutes the largest homogeneous spectroscopic data set of the {sigma} Orionis cluster to date.

- Description:
- We identified 24 SiIV absorption systems with z<~1 from a blind survey of 49 low-redshift quasars with archival Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet spectra. We relied solely on the characteristic wavelength separation of the doublet to automatically detect candidates. After visual inspection, we defined a sample of 20 definite (group G=1) and 4 "highly likely" (G=2) doublets with rest equivalent widths W_r_ for both lines detected at >=3{sigma}_W_r__.

- SiIV and NV absorption line SDSS quasar systems
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/243/2
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- Using the quasar spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and with variable C IV absorption line systems, we measure the Si IV and N V absorption line systems. We obtain 50 variable Si IV absorption line systems and 39 variable N V absorption line systems. We find that the variations in most of the C IV, Si IV, and N V absorption lines are correlated with the changes in quasar continuum. In addition, a significant portion of the variable absorption lines are the consistent variations of multiple systems with large velocity separations. Therefore, the variations of the C IV, Si IV, and N V absorption lines could be mainly driven by the changes in quasar radiations, which cause changes in ionization states or column densities of absorbing gas. We also find that the variable C IV, Si IV, and N V absorption line systems can be divided into low-ionization systems and high-ionization systems. The former positively responds to the changes in the quasar's brightness, and the later is the oppositive case.

- SINS survey of high-redshift galaxies
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/706/1364
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the Spectroscopic Imaging survey in the near-infrared (near-IR) with SINFONI (SINS) of high-redshift galaxies. With 80 objects observed and 63 detected in at least one rest-frame optical nebular emission line, mainly H{alpha}, SINS represents the largest survey of spatially resolved gas kinematics, morphologies, and physical properties of star-forming galaxies at z~1-3. We describe the selection of the targets, the observations, and the data reduction. We then focus on the "SINS H{alpha} sample," consisting of 62 rest-UV/optically selected sources at 1.3<z<2.6 for which we targeted primarily the H{alpha} and [NII] emission lines. Only ~30% of this sample had previous near-IR spectroscopic observations. The galaxies were drawn from various imaging surveys with different photometric criteria; as a whole, the SINS H{alpha} sample covers a reasonable representation of massive M_*_>~10^10^M_{sun}_ star-forming galaxies at z~1.5-2.5, with some bias toward bluer systems compared to pure K-selected samples due to the requirement of secure optical redshift. The H{alpha} morphologies tend to be irregular and/or clumpy. About one-third of the SINS H{alpha} sample galaxies are rotation-dominated yet turbulent disks, another one-third comprises compact and velocity dispersion-dominated objects, and the remaining galaxies are clear interacting/merging systems; the fraction of rotation-dominated systems increases among the more massive part of the sample.

- Six warm metal-poor stars iron abundances
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/860/125
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Neutral Fe lines in metal-poor stars yield conflicting abundances depending on whether and how deviations from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) are considered. We have collected new high-resolution and high signal-to-noise ultraviolet (UV) spectra of three warm dwarf stars with [Fe/H]~-2.9 with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope. We locate archival UV spectra for three other warm dwarfs with [Fe/H]~-3.3, -2.2, and -1.6, supplemented with optical spectra for all six stars. We calculate stellar parameters using methods that are largely independent of the spectra, adopting broadband photometry, color-temperature relations, Gaia parallaxes, and assumed masses. We use the LTE line analysis code MOOG to derive Fe abundances from hundreds of FeI and FeII lines with wavelengths from 2290 to 6430{AA}. The [Fe/H] ratios derived separately from FeI and FeII lines agree in all six stars, with [FeII/H]-[FeI/H] ranging from +0.00+/-0.07 to -0.12+/-0.09dex, when strong lines and FeI lines with lower excitation potential <1.2eV are excluded. This constrains the extent of any deviations from LTE that may occur within this parameter range. While our result confirms non-LTE calculations for some warm, metal-poor dwarfs, it may not be generalizable to more metal-poor dwarfs, where deviations from LTE are predicted to be larger. We also investigate trends of systematically lower abundances derived from FeI lines in the Balmer continuum region (~3100-3700{AA}), and we conclude that no proposed explanation for this effect can fully account for the observations presently available.
