- Description:
- Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs) are systems enshrouded in dust, which absorbs most of their optical/UV emission and radiates it again in the mid- and far-infrared. Radio observations are largely unaffected by dust obscuration, enabling us to study the central regions of LIRGs in an unbiased manner. The main goal of this project is to examine how the radio properties of local LIRGs relate to their infrared spectral characteristics. Here we present an analysis of the radio continuum properties of a subset of the Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS), which consists of 202 nearby systems (z<0.088). Our radio sample consists of 35 systems, containing 46 individual galaxies, that were observed at both 1.49 and 8.44GHz with the VLA with a resolution of about 1-arcsec (FWHM). The aim of the project is to use the radio imagery to probe the central kpc of these LIRGs in search of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We used the archival data at 1.49 and 8.44GHz to create radio-spectral-index maps using the standard relation between flux density S{nu} and frequency {nu}, S{nu}~{nu}^-{alpha}^, where {alpha} is the radio spectral index. By studying the spatial variations in {alpha}, we classified the objects as radio-AGN, radio-SB, and AGN/SB (a mixture). We identified the presence of an active nucleus using the radio morphology, deviations from the radio/infrared correlation, and spatially resolved spectral index maps, and then correlated this to the usual mid-infrared ([NeV]/[NeII] and [OIV]/[NeII] line ratios and equivalent width of the 6.2um PAH feature) and optical (BPT diagram) AGN diagnostics. We find that 21 out of the 46 objects in our sample (~45%) are radio-AGN, 9 out of the 46 (~20%) are classified as starbursts (SB) based on the radio analysis, and 16 (~35%) are AGN/SB. After comparing to other AGN diagnostics we find 3 objects out of the 46 (~7%) that are identified as AGN based on the radio analysis, but are not classified as such based on the mid-infrared and optical AGN diagnostics presented in this study.

- Description:
- In the run up to routine observations with the upcoming generation of radio facilities, the nature of sub-mJy radio population has been hotly debated. Here, we describe multi-frequency data designed to probe the emission mechanism that dominates in these faint radio sources. Our analysis is based on observations of the Lockman Hole using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) - the deepest 610-MHz imaging yet reported - together with 1.4-GHz imaging from the Very Large Array (VLA), well matched in resolution and sensitivity to the GMRT data: {sigma}_610_MHz~15uJy/beam, {sigma}_1.4GHz_~6uJy/beam, full width at half-maximum (FWHM) ~5arcsec. The GMRT and VLA data are cross-matched to obtain the radio spectral indices for the faint radio emitters.

- Description:
- A sample of 2712 radio-luminous galaxies is defined from the second data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) by cross-comparing the main spectroscopic galaxy sample with two radio surveys: the National Radio Astronomy Observatories (NRAO) Very Large Array (VLA) Sky Survey (NVSS, <VIII/65>) and the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty centimeters (FIRST, <VIII/71>) survey. The comparison is carried out in a multistage process and makes optimal use of both radio surveys by exploiting the sensitivity of the NVSS to extended and multicomponent radio sources in addition to the high angular resolution of the FIRST images. A radio source sample with 95 per cent completeness and 98.9% reliability is achieved, far better than would be possible for this sample if only one of the surveys was used. The radio source sample is then divided into two classes: radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) and galaxies in which the radio emission is dominated by star formation. The division is based on the location of a galaxy in the plane of 4000{AA} break strength versus radio luminosity per unit stellar mass and provides a sample of 2215 radio-loud AGN and 497 star-forming galaxies brighter than 5mJy at 1.4GHz. A full catalogue of positions and radio properties is provided for these sources.

- Description:
- We present multi-frequency radio data for 741 extragalactic sources with a 5GHz integrated flux density of >100mJy. These sources have been selected from a cross-correlation of an early ROSAT All-Sky Survey source list with a list of compact radio sources of the 5GHz Green Bank northern sky survey (RGB sample, Cat. <VIII/52>). The majority of sources were quasi-simultaneously observed with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope at 11cm, 6cm, and 2.8cm. We have determined the spectrum, size and linear polarization properties of these sources. We compare the radio data with ROSAT measurements and optical data. We find that the X-ray selected radio sources, when compared with unbiased radio source samples, are on average slightly more compact, show a higher fractional polarization, a higher absolute rotation measure (RM), and have flatter spectra. Absolute RMs are larger for steep spectrum than for flat spectrum sources and for extended than for compact sources. The average redshift increases with the radio flux density, which indicates that the X-ray selected radio sources have a larger fraction of beamed radio emission. All source characteristics of the sample are in accordance with present unification schemes for AGN, where X-ray selected sources are preferably looked at face on.

- Description:
- We present 1.4- and 2.5-GHz Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) observations of the galaxy cluster A3158 (z=0.0597) which is located within the central part of the Horologium-Reticulum supercluster (HRS). Spectroscopic data for the central part of the HRS suggest that A3158 is in a dynamically important position within the supercluster and that it is moving toward the double cluster system A3125/A3128 which marks the centre of the HRS. A total of 110 radio galaxies are detected in a 35-arcmin radius about the cluster at 1.4GHz, of which 30 are also detected at 2.5GHz.

- Description:
- The radiosource catalogs have been extracted from 31 NRAO VLA Sky Survey maps (NVSS, Condon et al., 1988AJ....115.1693C) over approximately 550 square degrees of sky in the region of the South Galactic Pole. File table1.dat contains the catalog of 13340 pointlike sources. For each source are given: Right Ascension and Declination, source name (if applicable), peak flux, flux rms from the fit, error on source position as estimated by the fitting algorithm, x and y pixel of the position where the peak has been detected on the map (starting position for the fit), control flags coming from the extraction algorithm, and name of the radio map where the source has been detected. The name is specified for (1) pointlike sources that are detected in a multiple system (name = DSnnnn or TSnnnn) (2) sources initially classified as components of a double system, which has been considered spurious on the basis of the distance between components (name = Cnnnn or DCnnnn). File table2.dat contains the catalog of 2662 double radiosources. For each source the following parameters are given both for the barycentre and the two components: Right Ascension and Declination, source name, peak flux, flux rms from the fit, error on source position as estimated by the fitting algorithm, distance between the components of the double system, x and y pixel of the position where the peak has been detected on the map (starting position for the fit), control flags coming from the extraction algorithm, and name of the radio map where the source has been detected.

- Description:
- We study the correlations between the VLBA (Very Long Baseline Array) radio emission at 15GHz, extended emission at 151MHz, and optical nuclear emission at 5100{AA} for a complete sample of 135 compact jets. We use the partial Kendall's tau correlation analysis to check the link between radio properties of parsec-scale jets and optical nuclear luminosities of host active galactic nuclei (AGN).

- Radio & opt/NIR counterparts of S2COSMOS submm galaxies
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/886/48

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We identify multi-wavelength counterparts to 1147 submillimeter sources from the S2COSMOS SCUBA-2 survey of the COSMOS field by employing a recently developed radio+machine-learning method trained on a large sample of Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)-identified submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), including 260 SMGs identified in the AS2COSMOS pilot survey. In total, we identify 1222 optical/near-infrared (NIR)/radio counterparts to the 897 S2COSMOS submillimeter sources with S_850_>1.6mJy, yielding an overall identification rate of (78+/-9)%. We find that (22+/-5)% of S2COSMOS sources have multiple identified counterparts. We estimate that roughly 27% of these multiple counterparts within the same SCUBA-2 error circles very likely arise from physically associated galaxies rather than line-of-sight projections by chance. The photometric redshift of our radio+machine-learning-identified SMGs ranges from z=0.2 to 5.7 and peaks at z=2.3+/-0.1. The AGN fraction of our sample is (19+/-4)%, which is consistent with that of ALMA SMGs in the literature. Comparing with radio/NIR-detected field galaxy population in the COSMOS field, our radio+machine-learning-identified counterparts of SMGs have the highest star formation rates and stellar masses. These characteristics suggest that our identified counterparts of S2COSMOS sources are a representative sample of SMGs at z<~3. We employ our machine-learning technique to the whole COSMOS field and identified 6877 potential SMGs, most of which are expected to have submillimeter emission fainter than the confusion limit of our S2COSMOS surveys (S_850um_<~1.5mJy). We study the clustering properties of SMGs based on this statistically large sample, finding that they reside in high-mass dark matter halos ((1.2+/-0.3)x10^13^h^-1^M_{sun}_), which suggests that SMGs may be the progenitors of massive ellipticals we see in the local universe.

- Radio polarimetry of CSS sources
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present multi-frequency VLA polarisation observations of compact steep spectrum (CSS) sources. About half of the sources are point-like even at the resolution of about 0.1x0.1 arcseconds. The remaining sources have double or triple structure. Low values for the percentage of polarised emission in CSS sources is confirmed. On the average, quasars are more polarised than galaxies. A wide range of RM values have been measured. There are clear indications of very large RMs up to about 5585rad/m^2^. CSS galaxies are characterized by RM values that are larger than CSS quasars. The majority of the objects show very large values of RM.
