1951. UV Bright Star Spectrophotometric Catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/III/39A
Title:
UV Bright Star Spectrophotometric Catalog
Short Name:
III/39A
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This catalogue contains observations carried out by the S2/68 Ultraviolet Sky Survey Telescope (UVSST) aboard the ESRO Satellite TD-1, which measured the absolute ultraviolet flux distribution between 2740A (274nm) and 1350A (135nm). The data presented in this catalogue were obtained during the first observation period, which lasted from 19 March 1972 to 31 October 1972, and contains the brightest objects, for which the signal is good enough to give valuable spectrophotometric information. The Faint Star Catalogue, which contains the photometric data of the stars up to the limit of detectability of the instrument, is known as the "Catalogue of Ultraviolet Fluxes", by Thompson et al. (catalog <II/59>) The S2/68 experiment has been described by Boksenberg et al. (=1973MNRAS.163..291B) and the absolute calibration by Humphries et al. (=1976A&A....49..389H).

Description:
Hot subdwarf stars of spectral types O and B represent a poorly understood phase in the evolution of low-mass stars, in particular of close compact binaries. A variety of phenomena are observed, which make them important tools for several astronomical disciplines. For instance, the richness of oscillations of many subdwarfs are important for asteroseismology. Furthermore, hot subdwarfs are among the most chemically peculiar stars known. Two intermediate He-rich hot subdwarf stars, LSIV -14 116 and Feige 46, are particularly interesting, because they show extreme enrichments of heavy elements such as Ge, Sr, Y, and Zr, strikingly similar in both stars. In addition, both stars show light oscillations at periods incompatible with standard pulsation theory and form the class of V366 Aqr variables. We investigate whether the similar chemical compositions extend to more complete abundance patterns in both stars and validate the pulsations in Feige 46 using its recent TESS light curve. High-resolution optical and near-ultraviolet spectroscopy are combined with non-local-thermodynamical-equilibrium model atmospheres and synthetic spectra calculated with Tlusty and Synspec to determine detailed metal abundance patterns in both stars consistently. Many previously unidentified lines are identified for the first time with transitions originating from GaIII, GeIII-IV, SeIII, KrIII, SrII-III, YIII, ZrIII-IV, and SnIV, most of which have not been observed so far in any star. The abundance patterns of 19 metals in both stars are almost identical, light metals being only slightly more abundant in Feige 46 while Zr, Sn, and Pb are slightly less enhanced compared to LSIV -14 116. Both abundance patterns are distinctively different from those of normal He-poor hot subdwarfs of similar temperature. The extreme enrichment in heavy metals of more than 4 dex compared to the Sun is likely the result of strong atmospheric diffusion processes that operate similarly in both stars while their similar patterns of C, N, O, and Ne abundances might provide clues to their as yet unclear evolutionary history. Finally, we find that the periods of the pulsation modes in Feige 46 are stable to better than dP/dt~=10^-8^s/s. This is is not compatible with dP/dt predicted for pulsations driven by the epsilon-mechanism and excited by helium-shell flashes in a star which is evolving, for example, onto the extended horizontal branch.

Description:
We report on the properties of a sample of ultraviolet-luminous galaxies (UVLGs) selected by matching the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) All-Sky Imaging and Medium Imaging Surveys with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey third data release. The overlap between these two surveys is roughly 450deg^2^. Of 25362 galaxies (with SDSS spectroscopy) in the range 0.0<z<0.3 detected by GALEX, there are 215 galaxies with L>2x10^10^L{sun} at 1530{AA} (observed wavelength).

Description:
We present data and initial results from VLT/X-shooter emission-line spectroscopy of 96 galaxies selected by long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at 0.1<z<3.6, the largest sample of GRB host spectra available to date. Most of our GRBs were detected by Swift and 76% are at 0.5<z<2.5 with a median z_med_~1.6.
1955. UV-selected galaxy redshift survey

Title:
UV-selected galaxy redshift survey
Short Name:

Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The table contains the first results of a spectroscopic survey of galaxies constructed from a flux-limited sample of stars, galaxies and QSOs imaged at 2000{AA} with the FOCA balloon-borne imaging camera (see Milliard et al., 1992A&A...257...24M) The galaxies were selected in the rest frame ultraviolet (UV), in Selected Area 57. Accurate positions for the UV sources have been obtained by matching with optical counterparts using APM scans of the Palomar Sky Survey limited at B=20.5. The results presented here are derived from optical spectroscopy conducted with the WIYN telescope and the WHT for 142 faint sources. The redshift distribution for this UV- selected sample extends over 0<z<0.5, and a high fraction of the sources show intense nebular emission lines and UV-optical colours bluer than normal Hubble sequence galaxies. Updated results for these galaxies were published later (see Sullivan et al. 2000, Cat. <J/MNRAS/312/442>)

Description:
We present further spectroscopic observations for a sample of galaxies selected in the vacuum ultraviolet (UV) at 2000{AA} from the FOCA balloon-borne imaging camera of Milliard et al. (1992A&A...257...24M). This work represents an extension of the initial study by Treyer et al. (Cat. <J/MNRAS/300/303>). Our enlarged catalogue contains 433 sources (~3 times as many as in our earlier study) across two FOCA fields. 273 of these are galaxies, nearly all with redshifts z~0-0.4. Nebular emission-line measurements are available for 216 galaxies, allowing us to address issues of excitation, reddening and metallicity. The UV and H{alpha} luminosity functions strengthen our earlier assertions that the local volume-averaged star formation rate is higher than indicated from earlier surveys. Moreover, internally within our sample, we do not find a steep rise in the UV luminosity density with redshift over 0<z<0.4. Our data are more consistent with a modest evolutionary trend, as suggested by recent redshift survey results. Investigating the emission-line properties, we find no evidence for a significant number of AGN in our sample; most UV-selected sources to z~0.4 are intense star-forming galaxies.
1957. UV spectra of classical T Tauri stars

Title:
UV spectra of classical T Tauri stars
Short Name:
J/ApJ/784/127
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The far-ultraviolet (FUV; 912-1700 {AA}) radiation field from accreting central stars in classical T Tauri systems influences the disk chemistry during the period of giant planet formation. The FUV field may also play a critical role in determining the evolution of the inner disk (r<10 AU), from a gas- and dust-rich primordial disk to a transitional system where the optically thick warm dust distribution has been depleted. Previous efforts to measure the true stellar+accretion-generated FUV luminosity (both hot gas emission lines and continua) have been complicated by a combination of low-sensitivity and/or low-spectral resolution and did not include the contribution from the bright Ly{alpha} emission line. In this work, we present a high-resolution spectroscopic study of the FUV radiation fields of 16 T Tauri stars whose dust disks display a range of evolutionary states. We include reconstructed Ly{alpha} line profiles and remove atomic and molecular disk emission (from H_2_ and CO fluorescence) to provide robust measurements of both the FUV continuum and hot gas lines (e.g., Ly{alpha}, N V, C IV, He II) for an appreciable sample of T Tauri stars for the first time. We find that the flux of the typical classical T Tauri star FUV radiation field at 1 AU from the central star is ~10^7^ times the average interstellar radiation field. The Ly{alpha} emission line contributes an average of 88% of the total FUV flux, with the FUV continuum accounting for an average of 8%. Both the FUV continuum and Ly{alpha} flux are strongly correlated with C IV flux, suggesting that accretion processes dominate the production of both of these components. On average, only ~0.5% of the total FUV flux is emitted between the Lyman limit (912 {AA}) and the H_2_(0-0) absorption band at 1110 {AA}. The total and component-level high-resolution radiation fields are made publicly available in machine-readable format.

Description:
We present an overview of the UV spectral properties of old novae as a class. The data and results of this paper, together with data from the outburst phases, will be utilized in a follow-up study to determine statistical properties and to investigate correlations among the physical parameters of the quiescent and eruptive phases.
1959. UV spectroscopy of solar-mass stars
ID:

Title:
UV spectroscopy of solar-mass stars
Short Name:
J/ApJ/754/69
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We compare high-resolution ultraviolet spectra of the Sun and thirteen solar-mass main-sequence stars with different rotational periods that serve as proxies for their different ages and magnetic field structures. In this, the second paper in the series, we study the dependence of ultraviolet emission-line centroid velocities on stellar rotation period, as rotation rates decrease from that of the Pleiades star HII314 (P_rot_=1.47days) to {alpha} Cen A (P_rot_=28days). Our stellar sample of F9 V to G5 V stars consists of six stars observed with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and eight stars observed with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on HST. We find a systematic trend of increasing redshift with more rapid rotation (decreasing rotation period) that is similar to the increase in line redshift between quiet and plage regions on the Sun. The fastest-rotating solar-mass star in our study, HII314, shows significantly enhanced redshifts at all temperatures above logT=4.6, including the corona, which is very different from the redshift pattern observed in the more slowly rotating stars. This difference in the redshift pattern suggests that a qualitative change in the magnetic-heating process occurs near P_rot_=2days. We propose that HII314 is an example of a solar-mass star with a magnetic heating rate too large for the physical processes responsible for the redshift pattern to operate in the same way as for the more slowly rotating stars. HII314 may therefore lie above the high activity end of the set of solar-like phenomena that is often called the "solar-stellar connection."
1960. UV-to-FIR magnitudes for 83 starburst galaxies
ID:

Title:
UV-to-FIR magnitudes for 83 starburst galaxies
Short Name:

Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a database of UV-to-FIR data of 83 nearby starburst galaxies. The galaxies are selected based upon the availability of IUE data. We have recalibrated the IUE UV spectra for these galaxies by incorporating the most recent improvements. For 45 of these galaxies we use observations by Storchi-Bergmann et al. (1995ApJS...98..103S) and McQuade et al. (1995ApJS...97..331M) for the spectra in the optical range. The NIR data are from new observations obtained at the NASA/IRTF and the Mount Laguna Observatory, combined with the published results from observations at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. In addition, published calibrated ISO data are included to provide mid-IR flux densities for some of the galaxies. The optical-to-IR data are matched as closely as possible to the IUE large aperture. In conjunction with IRAS and ISO FIR flux densities, all these data form a set of observed spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the nuclear regions of nearby starburst galaxies. The SEDs should be useful in studying star formation and dust/gas attenuation in galaxies. We also present the magnitudes in the standard BVRI and various HST/WFPC2 bandpasses synthesized from the UV and optical wavelength ranges of these SEDs. For some of the galaxies, the HST/WFPC2 magnitudes synthesized from the SEDs are checked with those directly measured from WFPC2 images to test the photometric errors of the optical data and their effective matching of apertures with the UV data. The implications of the new SEDs on the star formation rates and dust/gas attenuation are briefly discussed.
