Phoenix Deep Survey spectroscopic catalog

Description:
The Phoenix Deep Survey is a multiwavelength survey based on deep 1.4GHz radio imaging, reaching well into the sub-100uJy level. One of the aims of this survey is to characterize the submillijansky radio population, exploring its nature and evolution. In this paper we present the catalog and results of the spectroscopic observations aimed at characterizing the optically "bright" (R<~21.5mag) counterparts of faint radio sources. Of 371 sources with redshift determination, 21% have absorption lines only, 11% show active galactic nucleus signatures, 32% are star-forming galaxies, 34% show narrow emission lines that do not allow detailed spectral classification (owing to poor signal-to-noise ratio and/or lack of diagnostic emission lines), and the remaining 2% are identified with stars.
1302. Phoenix dwarf galaxy RV and [Fe/H] catalog

Phoenix dwarf galaxy RV and [Fe/H] catalog

Description:
Transition type dwarf galaxies are thought to be systems undergoing the process of transformation from a star-forming into a passively evolving dwarf, which makes them particularly suitable to study evolutionary processes driving the existence of different dwarf morphological types. Here we present results from a spectroscopic survey of ~200 individual red giant branch stars in the Phoenix dwarf, the closest transition type with a comparable luminosity to 'classical' dwarf galaxies. We measure a systemic heliocentric velocity Vhelio=-21.2+/-1.0km/s. Our survey reveals the clear presence of prolate rotation that is aligned with the peculiar spatial distribution of the youngest stars in Phoenix. We speculate that both features might have arisen from the same event, possibly an accretion of a smaller system. The evolved stellar population of Phoenix is relatively metal-poor (<[Fe/H]>=-1.49+/-0.04dex) and shows a large metallicity spread (sigma_[Fe/H]_=0.51+/-0.04dex), with a pronounced metallicity gradient of -0.13+/-0.01dex/arcmin similar to luminous, passive dwarf galaxies. We also report a discovery of an extremely metal-poor star candidate in Phoenix and discuss the importance of correcting for spatial sampling when interpreting the chemical properties of galaxies with metallicity gradients. This study presents a major leap forward in our knowledge of the internal kinematics of the Phoenix transition type dwarf galaxy and the first wide area spectroscopic survey of its metallicity properties.

Photometric obs. & LAMOST sp. of 4 W UMa binaries
Short Name:

Description:
We present new photometric data and LAMOST spectra for the W UMa binaries UV Lyn, V781 Tau, NSVS 4484038, and 2MASS J15471055+5302107. The orbital and starspot parameters are obtained using the Wilson-Devinney program. Comparing the starspot parameters at different times, there are magnetic activities in these four binaries. The orbital period of UV Lyn is increasing at a rate of dP/dt=+8.9(5)x10^-8^d/yr, which maybe due to mass transfer from the less massive component to the more massive component (dM1/dt=-6.4x10^-8^M_{sun}_/yr). The period variation of 2MASSJ15471055+5302107 is also increasing at a rate of 6.0(4)x10^-7^d/yr, which can be explained by mass transfer from the less massive component to the more massive component (dM1/dt=-2.8x10^-7^M_{sun}_/yr). The period variation of V781 Tau presents the downward parabola superimposed the cyclic oscillation. The period of V781 Tau is decreasing (dP/dt=-3.2(4)x10^-8^d/yr), which can be explained by mass transfer from the more massive component to the less massive component (dM2/dt=-2.2x10^-8^M_{sun}_/yr). The cyclic oscillation may be due to the magnetic activity with a period of 30.8(5)yr rather than a third body. The period variation of NSVS4484038 also shows the cyclic oscillation, which could be explained by the magnetic activity with 10.8(1)yr or a black hole candidate. Interestingly, there is a depth variation between the light minimum times of NSVS 4484038, which may also be caused by stellar magnetic activity.

Title:
Photometric selection of quasars from SDSS. II.
Short Name:
J/ApJS/180/67
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalog of 1172157 quasar candidates selected from the photometric imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The objects are all point sources to a limiting magnitude of i=21.3 from 8417deg^2^ of imaging from SDSS Data Release 6 (DR6). This sample extends our previous catalog by using the latest SDSS public release data and probing both ultraviolet (UV)-excess and high-redshift quasars. While the addition of high-redshift candidates reduces the overall efficiency (quasars:quasar candidates) of the catalog to ~80%, it is expected to contain no fewer than 850000 bona fide quasars, which is ~8 times the number of our previous sample and ~10 times the size of the largest spectroscopic quasar catalog. Cross-matching between our photometric catalog and spectroscopic quasar catalogs from both the SDSS and 2dF survey yields 88879 spectroscopically confirmed quasars. For judicious selection of the most robust UV-excess sources (~500000 objects in all), the efficiency is nearly 97% -more than sufficient for detailed statistical analyses. The catalog's completeness to type 1 (broad-line) quasars is expected to be no worse than 70%, with most missing objects occurring at z<0.7 and 2.5<z<3.0. In addition to classification information, we provide photometric redshift estimates (typically good to {Delta}z+/-0.3[2{sigma}]) and cross-matching with radio, X-ray, and proper-motion catalogs. Finally, we consider the catalog's utility for determining the optical luminosity function of quasars and are able to confirm the flattening of the bright-end slope of the quasar luminosity function at z~4 as compared to z~2.

Photometric & spectroscopic obs. of TOI-954 and K2-329

Description:
We report the discovery of two short-period Saturn-mass planets, one transiting the G subgiant TOI-954 (TIC44792534, V=10.343, T=9.78) observed in TESS sectors 4 and 5 and one transiting the G dwarf K2-329 (EPIC246193072, V=12.70, K=10.67) observed in K2 campaigns 12 and 19. We confirm and characterize these two planets with a variety of ground-based archival and follow-up observations, including photometry, reconnaissance spectroscopy, precise radial velocity, and high-resolution imaging. Combining all available data, we find that TOI-954b has a radius of 0.852_-0.062_^+0.053^R_Jup_ and a mass of 0.174_-0.017_^+0.018^M_Jup_ and is in a 3.68day orbit, while K2-329b has a radius of 0.774_-0.024_^+0.026^R_Jup_ and a mass of 0.260_-0.022_^+0.020^M_Jup_ and is in a 12.46day orbit. As TOI-954b is 30 times more irradiated than K2-329b but more or less the same size, these two planets provide an opportunity to test whether irradiation leads to inflation of Saturn-mass planets and contribute to future comparative studies that explore Saturn-mass planets at contrasting points in their lifetimes.
1307. Photometry and lines of (z~0.2-1.0) galaxies

Title:
Photometry and lines of (z~0.2-1.0) galaxies
Short Name:
J/A+A/448/893
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the spectrophotometric properties of a sample of 141 emission-line galaxies at redshifts in the range 0.2<z<1.0 with a peak around 0.2<=z<=0.4. The analysis is based on medium resolution (Rs=500-600), optical spectra obtained at VLT and Keck. The targets are mostly "Canada-France Redshift Survey" (<VII/225>) emission-line galaxies, with the addition of field galaxies randomly selected behind lensing clusters. We complement this sample with galaxy spectra from the "Gemini Deep Deep Survey" (<J/AJ/127/2455>) public data release. We have computed absolute magnitudes of the galaxies and measured the line fluxes and equivalent widths of the main emission/absorption lines. The last two have been measured after careful subtraction of the fitted stellar continuum using the platefit software originally developed for the SDSS and adapted to our data. We present a careful comparison of this software with the results of manual measurements.
1308. Photometry and Metallicity in ABCG 209 galaxies

Photometry and Metallicity in ABCG 209 galaxies
Short Name:

Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We analyse the properties of galaxy populations in the rich Abell cluster ABCG 209 at redshift z~0.21, on the basis of spectral classification of 102 member galaxies. We take advantage of available structural parameters to study separately the properties of bulge-dominated and disk-dominated galaxies. The star formation histories of the cluster galaxy populations are investigated by using line strengths and the 4000{AA} break, through a comparison to stellar population synthesis models. The dynamical properties of different spectral classes are examined in order to infer the past merging history of ABCG 209. The cluster is characterized by the presence of two components: an old galaxy population, formed very early (z_f>~3.5), and a younger (z_f>~1.2) population of infalling galaxies. We find evidence of a merger with an infalling group of galaxies occurred 3.5-4.5Gyr ago. The correlation between the position of the young H_delta-strong galaxies and the X-ray flux shows that the hot intracluster medium triggered a starburst in this galaxy population ~3Gyr ago.

Title:
Photometry and spectroscopy in IC 2391
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the stellar and substellar mass function (MF) of the open cluster IC 2391, plus its radial dependence, and use this to put constraints on the formation mechanism of brown dwarfs (BDs). Our multi-band optical and infrared photometric survey with spectroscopic follow-up covers 11deg^2^, making it the largest survey of this cluster to date. From our preliminary spectroscopic follow-up, to confirm BD status and cluster membership, we find that all candidates are M dwarfs (in either the field or the cluster), demonstrating the efficiency of our photometric selection method in avoiding contaminants (e.g., red giants). About half of our photometric candidates for which we have spectra are spectroscopically confirmed as cluster members; two are new spectroscopically confirmed BD members of IC 2391.

Description:
We present a complete spectroscopic survey of 2414 2MASS-selected blue horizontal branch (BHB) candidates selected over 4300{deg}^2^ of the sky. We identify 655 BHB stars in this non-kinematically selected sample. We calculate the luminosity function of field BHB stars, and find evidence for very few hot BHB stars in the field.
