Title:
Spectroscopic survey of WISE-selected sources

Description:
We report on the results of an optical spectroscopic survey at high Galactic latitude (|b|>=30{deg}) of a sample of WISE-selected targets, grouped by WISE W1 ({lambda}_eff_=3.4{mu}m) flux, which we use to characterize the sources WISE detected. We observed 762 targets in 10 disjoint fields centered on ultraluminous infrared galaxy candidates using DEIMOS on Keck II. We find 0.30+/-0.02 galaxies arcmin^-2^ with a median redshift of z=0.33+/-0.01 for the sample with W1>=120{mu}Jy. The foreground stellar densities in our survey range from 0.23+/-0.07arcmin^-2^ to 1.1+/-0.1arcmin^-2^ for the same sample. We obtained spectra that produced science grade redshifts for >=90% of our targets for sources with W1 flux >=120{mu}Jy that also had an i-band flux >=18{mu}Jy. We used this for targeting very preliminary data reductions available to the team in 2010 August. Our results therefore present a conservative estimate of what is possible to achieve using WISE's Preliminary Data Release for the study of field galaxies.

Description:
We present and analyze a rich data set including Subaru/SuprimeCam, HST/Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camera 3, Keck/DEIMOS, Chandra/ACIS-I, and JVLA/C and D array for the merging cluster of galaxies ZwCl 0008.8+5215. With a joint Subaru+HST weak gravitational lensing analysis, we identify two dominant subclusters and estimate the masses to be M_200_=5.7_-1.8_^+2.8^x10^14^M_{sun}_ and 1.2_-0.6_^+1.4^x10^14^M_{sun}_. We estimate the projected separation between the two subclusters to be 924_-206_^+243^kpc. We perform a clustering analysis of spectroscopically confirmed cluster member galaxies and estimate the line-of-sight velocity difference between the two subclusters to be 92+/-164km/s. We further motivate, discuss, and analyze the merger scenario through an analysis of the 42ks of Chandra/ACIS-I and JVLA/C and D array polarization data. The X-ray surface brightness profile reveals a merging gas-core reminiscent of the Bullet Cluster. The global X-ray luminosity in the 0.5-7.0keV band is 1.7+/-0.1x10^44^erg/s and the global X-ray temperature is 4.90+/-0.13keV. The radio relics are polarized up to 40% , and along with the masses, velocities, and positions of the two subclusters, we input these quantities into a Monte Carlo dynamical analysis and estimate the merger velocity at pericenter to be 1800_-300_^+400^km/s. This is a lower-mass version of the Bullet Cluster and therefore may prove useful in testing alternative models of dark matter (DM). We do not find significant offsets between DM and galaxies, but the uncertainties are large with the current lensing data. Furthermore, in the east, the BCG is offset from other luminous cluster galaxies, which poses a puzzle for defining DM-galaxy offsets.

Spectroscopy and HST photometry in Westerlund 2

Description:
We present a spectroscopic and photometric determination of the distance to the young Galactic open cluster Westerlund 2 using WFPC2 imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and ground-based optical spectroscopy. HST imaging in the F336W, F439W, F555W, and F814W filters resolved many sources previously undetected in ground-based observations and yielded photometry for 1136 stars. We identified 15 new O-type stars, along with two probable binary systems, including MSP188 (O3+O5.5). We fit reddened spectral energy distributions based on the Padova isochrones to the photometric data to determine individual reddening parameters R_V_ and A_V_for O-type stars in Wd2. We find average values <R_V_>=3.77+/-0.09 and <A_V_>=6.51+/-0.38mag, which result in a smaller distance than most other spectroscopic and photometric studies. After a statistical distance correction accounting for close unresolved binaries (factor of 1.08), our spectroscopic and photometric data on 29 O-type stars yield that Westerlund 2 has a distance <d>=4.16+/-0.07(random)+0.26(systematic)kpc. The cluster's age remains poorly constrained, with an upper limit of 3Myr. Finally, we report evidence of a faint mid-IR polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon ring surrounding the well-known binary candidate MSP 18, which appears to lie at the center of a secondary stellar grouping within Westerlund 2.

Description:
We report the discovery and characterization of four transiting exoplanets by the HATNet survey. The planet HAT-P-50b has a mass of 1.35M_J_ and radius of 1.29R_J_, and orbits a bright (V=11.8mag) M=1.27M_{sun}_, R=1.70R_{sun}_ star every P=3.1220days. The planet HAT-P-51b has a mass of 0.31M_J_ and radius of 1.29R_J_, and orbits a V=13.4mag, M=0.98M_{sun}_, R=1.04R_{sun}_ star with a period of P=4.2180days. The planet HAT-P-52b has a mass of 0.82M_J_ and radius of 1.01R_J_, and orbits a V=14.1mag, M=0.89M_{sun}_, R=0.89R_{sun}_ star with a period of P=2.7536days. The planet HAT-P-53b has a mass of 1.48M_J_ and radius of 1.32R_J_, and orbits a V=13.7mag, M=1.09M_{sun}_, R=1.21R_{sun}_ star with a period of P=1.9616days. All four planets are consistent with having circular orbits and have masses and radii measured to better than 10% precision. The low stellar jitter and favorable R_p_/R_{star}_ ratio for HAT-P-51 make it a promising target for measuring the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect for a Saturn-mass planet.

Description:
The current paradigm of cosmic formation and evolution of galaxy clusters foresees growth mostly through merging. Galaxies in the infall region or in the core of a cluster undergo transformations owing to different environmental stresses. For two X-ray luminous clusters at redshift z~0.3 with opposite X-ray morphologies (i.e., dynamical states), RXCJ0014.3-3022 and RXCJ2308.3-0211, we assess differences in galaxy populations as a function of cluster topography. This is a pilot study for the joint X-ray and optical analysis of the REFLEX-DXL cluster sample.

Spectroscopy and photometry of CV candidates

Description:
The Catalina Real Time Survey (CRTS) has found over 500 cataclysmic variable (CV) candidates, most of which were previously unknown. We report here on follow-up spectroscopy of 36 of the brighter objects. Nearly all of the spectra are typical of CVs at minimum light. One object appears to be a flare star, while another has a spectrum consistent with a CV but lies, intriguingly, at the center of a small nebulosity. We measured orbital periods for eight of the CVs, and estimated distances for two based on the spectra of their secondary stars. In addition to the spectra, we obtained direct imaging for an overlapping sample of 37 objects, for which we give magnitudes and colors. Most of our new orbital periods are shortward of the so-called period gap from roughly 2 to 3hr. By considering the cross-identifications between the Catalina objects and other catalogs such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we argue that a large number of CVs remain uncataloged. By comparing the CRTS sample to lists of previously known CVs that CRTS does not recover, we find that the CRTS is biased toward large outburst amplitudes (and hence shorter orbital periods). We speculate that this is a consequence of the survey cadence.

Description:
We report the discovery of two transiting extrasolar planets from the HATSouth survey. HATS-11, a V=14.1 G0-star shows a periodic 12.9mmag dip in its light curve every 3.6192days and a radial velocity variation consistent with a Keplerian orbit. HATS-11 has a mass of 1.000+/-0.060M_{Sun}_, a radius of 1.444+/-0.057R_{Sun}_ and an effective temperature of 6060+/-150K, while its companion is a 0.85+/-0.12M_J_, 1.510+/-0.078R_J_ planet in a circular orbit. HATS-12 shows a periodic 5.1mmag flux decrease every 3.1428days and Keplerian radial velocities variations around a V=12.8 F-star. HATS-12 has a mass of 1.489+/-0.071M_{Sun}_, a radius of 2.21+/-0.21R_{Sun}_, and an effective temperature of 6408+/-75K. For HATS-12b, our measurements indicate that this is a 2.38+/-0.11M_J_, 1.35+/-0.17R_J_ planet in a circular orbit. Both host stars show subsolar metallicities of -0.390+/-0.060dex and -0.100+/-0.040dex, respectively, and are (slightly) evolved stars. In fact, HATS-11 is among the most metal-poor and, HATS-12, with a logg_*_ of 3.923+/-0.065, is among the most evolved stars hosting a hot-Jupiter planet. Importantly, HATS-11 and HATS-12 have been observed in long cadence by Kepler as part of K2 campaign 7 (EPIC216414930 and EPIC218131080 respectively).

Description:
We present a new measurement of the integrated stellar mass per comoving volume at redshift 5 determined via spectral energy fitting drawn from a sample of 214 photometrically selected galaxies with z'_850LP_<26.5 in the southern GOODS field. Following recent procedures introduced by Eyles et al. (2007MNRAS.374..910E), we estimate stellar masses for various subsamples for which reliable and unconfused Spitzer IRAC detections are available. A spectroscopic sample of 14 of the most luminous sources with z{bar}=4.92 provides a firm lower limit to the stellar mass density of 1x10^6^M_{sun}_/Mpc^3^. We then consider a larger sample whose photometric redshifts in the publicly available GOODS-MUSIC catalog lie in the range 4.4<z<5.6.

Spectroscopy & HST photometry of galaxy Leo V

CDS
Description:
The ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Leo V has shown both photometric overdensities and kinematic members at large radii, along with a tentative kinematic gradient, suggesting that it may have undergone a close encounter with the Milky Way. We investigate these signs of disruption through a combination of (I) high precision photometry obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), (II) two epochs of stellar spectra obtained with the Hectochelle Spectrograph on the MMT, and (III) measurements from the Gaia mission. Using the HST data, we examine one of the reported stream-like overdensities at large radii, and conclude that it is not a true stellar stream, but instead a clump of foreground stars and background galaxies. Our spectroscopic analysis shows that one known member star is likely a binary, and challenges the membership status of three others, including two distant candidates that had formerly provided evidence for overall stellar mass loss. We also find evidence that the proposed kinematic gradient across Leo V might be due to small number statistics. We update the systemic proper motion of Leo V, finding ({mu}_{alpha}_/cos{delta},{mu}_{delta}_)= (0.009{+/-}0.560,-0.777{+/-}0 .314)mas/yr, which is consistent with its reported orbit that did not put Leo V at risk of being disturbed by the Milky Way. These findings remove most of the observational clues that suggested Leo V was disrupting; however, we also find new plausible member stars, two of which are located >5 half-light radii from the main body. These stars require further investigation. Therefore, the nature of Leo V still remains an open question.

Description:
We report a new determination of the faint end of the galaxy luminosity function (LF) in the nearby clusters Abell 2199 and Virgo using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Hectospec multifiber spectrograph on the MMT. The luminosity function of A2199 is consistent with a single Schechter function to M_r_=-15.6+5log(h_70_) with a faint-end slope of alpha=-1.13+/-0.07 (statistical). The LF in Virgo extends to M_r_~-13.5~M*+8 and has a slope of alpha=-1.28+/-0.06 (statistical).
