- Description:
- The KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) is an objective-prism survey designed to detect extragalactic emission-line objects. It combines many of the features of previous slitless spectroscopic surveys with the advantages of modern CCD detectors and is the first purely digital objective-prism survey for emission-line galaxies (ELGs). Here we present the third list of ELG candidates selected from our red spectral data, which cover the wavelength range 6400-7200{AA}. In most cases, the detected emission line is H{alpha}. The current survey list covers the region of the NOAO Deep Wide Field Survey (NDWFS). This survey covers two fields; the first is 3{deg}x3{deg} and located at RA=14h30m, DE=34{deg}30' (B1950.0), and the second is 2.3{deg}x4.0{deg} and centered at RA=2h7m30s, DE=-4{deg}44'. A total area of 19.65deg^2^ is covered by the KISS data. A total of 261 candidate emission-line objects have been selected for inclusion in the survey list (13.3deg^-2^). We tabulate accurate coordinates and photometry for each source, as well as estimates of the redshift, emission-line flux, and line equivalent width based on measurements of the digital objective-prism spectra. The properties of the KISS ELGs are examined using the available observational data.

- The KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) is an objective-prism survey for extragalactic emission-line objects. It combines many of the features of previous slitless spectroscopic surveys with the advantages of modern CCD detectors and is the first purely digital objective-prism survey for emission-line galaxies. Here we present the second list of emission-line galaxy candidates selected from our red spectral data, which cover the wavelength range 6400 to 7200{AA}. In most cases, the detected emission line is H{alpha}. The current survey list covers a 1.6{deg}-wide strip located at {delta}=43{deg}30'(B1950) and spans the right ascension range 11h55m to 16h15m. The survey strip runs through the center of the Bootes void and has enough depth to adequately sample the far side of the void. An area of 65.8deg^2^ is covered. A total of 1029 candidate emission-line objects have been selected for inclusion in the survey list (15.6deg^-2^). We tabulate accurate coordinates and photometry for each source, as well as estimates of the redshift and emission-line flux and equivalent width based on measurements of the digital objective-prism spectra. The properties of the KISS emission-line galaxies are examined using the available observational data. Although the current survey covers only a modest fraction of the total volume of the Bootes void, we catalog at least 12 objects that appear to be located within the void. Only one of these objects has been recognized previously as a void galaxy.

- Description:
- Photoelectric photometry of the K-line of calcium has been performed for the A stars of five open clusters (Hyades, Pleiades, IC 2391, IC 2602, and NGC 6475) and one association (Orion). All observations were carried out simultaneously with the field stars measurements in Paper II (II/43), with the 16-inch (40cm) and 36-inch (91cm) telescopes of the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, between May 1969 and January 1970.

- K-M stars of class I candidate RSGs in Gaia DR2
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/158/20
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We investigate individual distances and luminosities of a sample of 889 nearby candidate red supergiants (RSGs) with reliable parallaxes ({omega}/{sigma}_{omega}_>4 and RUWE<2.7) from Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2, Cat. I/345). The sample was extracted from the historical compilation of spectroscopically derived spectral types by Skiff (Cat. B/mk), and consists of K-M stars that are listed with class I at least once. The sample includes well-known RSGs from Humphreys (1978ApJS...38..309H), Elias et al. (1985ApJS...57...91E), Jura & Kleinmann (1990ApJS...73..769J), and Levesque et al. (2005ApJ...628..973L). Infrared and optical measurements from the Two Micron All Sky Survey, Catalog of Infrared Observations (CIO), Midcourse Space Experiment, Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, MIPSGAL, Galactic Legacy Infrared Midplane Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE), and The Naval Observatory Merged Astrometric Dataset catalogs allow us to estimate the stellar bolometric magnitudes. We analyze the stars in the luminosity versus effective temperature plane and confirm that 43 sources are highly probably RSGs with M_bol_< -7.1 mag. Of the stars in the sample, 43% have masses >7 M_{sun}_. Another ~30% of the sample consists of giant stars.

- Knots in the deep [FeII]+[SiI] image of the SNR Cas A
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/866/139
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present a long-exposure (~10hr), narrowband image of the supernova (SN) remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) centered at 1.644{mu}m emission. The passband contains [FeII] 1.644{mu}m and [SiI] 1.645{mu}m lines, and our "deep [FeII]+[SiI] image" provides an unprecedented panoramic view of Cas A, showing both shocked and unshocked SN ejecta, together with shocked circumstellar medium at subarcsecond (~0.7" or 0.012pc) resolution. The diffuse emission from the unshocked SN ejecta has a form of clumps, filaments, and arcs, and their spatial distribution correlates well with that of the Spitzer [SiII] infrared emission, suggesting that the emission is likely due to [SiI] not [FeII] as in shocked material. The structure of the optically invisible western area of Cas A is clearly seen for the first time. The area is filled with many quasi-stationary flocculi (QSFs) and fragments of the disrupted ejecta shell. We identified 309 knots in the deep [FeII]+[SiI] image and classified them into QSFs and fast-moving knots (FMKs). The comparison with previous optical plates indicates that the lifetime of most QSFs is >~60yr. The total H+He mass of QSFs is ~0.23M_{sun}_, implying that the mass fraction of dense clumps in the progenitor's mass ejection immediately prior to the SN explosion is about 4%-6%. FMKs in the deep [FeII]+[SiI] image mostly correspond to S-rich ejecta knots in optical studies, while those outside the southeastern disrupted ejecta shell appear Fe-rich. The mass of the [FeII] line emitting, shocked dense Fe ejecta is ~3x10^-5^M_{sun}_.

- Known members of Orion A with Gaia DR2 data

- Description:
- The star-forming region of the Orion Nebula (ONC) is ideal to study the stellar dynamics of young stars in a clustered environment. Using Gaia DR2 we search for pre-main sequence stars with unusually high proper motions that may be representative of a dynamical ejection from unstable young triple systems or other close three-body encounters. We identify 26 candidate stars that are likely to have had such an encounter in the last 1Myr. Nine of these stars could be traced back to the densest central-most region of the ONC, the Trapezium, while five others have likely interactions with other OB-type stars in the cluster. Seven stars originate from other nearby populations within the Orion Complex that coincidentally scattered toward the ONC. A definitive point of origin cannot be identified for the remaining sources. These observations shed light on the frequency of the ejection events in young clusters.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present and make publicly available the third data release (DR3) of the Keck Observatory Database of Ionized Absorption toward Quasars (KODIAQ) survey. KODIAQ DR3 consists of a fully reduced sample of 727 quasars at 0.1<zem<6.4 observed with the Echellette Sepctrograph and Imager at moderate resolution (4000<~R<~10000). DR3 contains 872 spectra available in flux calibrated form, representing a sum total exposure time of ~2.8 megaseconds. These coadded spectra arise from a total of 2753 individual exposures of quasars taken from the Keck Observatory Archive (KOA) in raw form and uniformly processed using a data reduction package made available through the XIDL distribution. DR3 is publicly available to the community, housed as a higher level science product at the KOA and in the igmspec database.

- Title:
- KPD UV-excess objects
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A survey for ultraviolet-excess objects has been performed for over about 1000sq.deg of the Galactic plane. Photographic blue and ultraviolet plates were obtained to select ultraviolet-excess candidates, and spectroscopic observations were used to determine the nature of those objects. Over 70 white dwarfs and subdwarfs were identified from the survey plates, and these objects were analyzed statistically to determine scale heights and space densities. The sample was complete to B=15.3mag, with the space density of white dwarfs for Mv<12.25 equal to 0.72+/-0.25 per 1000pc^3^, slightly higher than that from the Palomar-Green survey. The average absolute magnitude determined for both the subdwarf O and the subdwarf B stars was considerably fainter than previous determinations, while the scale height for the subdwarfs was lower than earlier suggested values. The space density for the subdwarf O stars is about 7x10^-7^pc^-3^, while the value for the subdwarf B stars is about 2x10^-6^pc^-3, both values considerably higher than previous estimates. The space densities can be used to place evolutionary constraints on these objects.
