- Description:
- We present the first subarcsecond-resolution mid-infrared (MIR) atlas of local active galactic nuclei (AGN). Our atlas contains 253 AGN with a median redshift of z=0.016, and includes all publicly available MIR imaging performed to date with ground-based 8-m class telescopes, a total of 895 independent measurements. Of these, more than 60% are published here for the first time. We detect extended nuclear emission in at least 21% of the objects, while another 19% appear clearly point-like, and the remaining objects cannot be constrained. Where present, elongated nuclear emission aligns with the ionization cones in Seyferts. Subarcsecond resolution allows us to isolate the AGN emission on scales of a few tens of parsecs and to obtain nuclear photometry in multiple filters for the objects. Median spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for the different optical AGN types are constructed and individual MIR 12 and 18um continuum luminosities are computed. These range over more than six orders of magnitude. In comparison to the arcsecond-scale MIR emission as probed by Spitzer, the continuum emission is much lower on subarcsecond scales in many cases. The silicate feature strength is similar on both scales and generally appears in emission (absorption) in type I (II) AGN. However, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission appears weaker or absent on subarcsecond scales. The differences of the MIR SEDs on both scales are particularly large for AGN/starburst composites and close-by (and weak) AGN. The nucleus dominates over the total emission of the galaxy only at luminosities >~10^44^erg/s. The AGN MIR atlas is well suited not only for detailed investigation of individual sources but also for statistical studies of AGN unification.

- Description:
- We present the SCUBA Legacy Catalogues, two comprehensive sets of continuum maps (and catalogs) using data at 850 and 450um of the various astronomical objects obtained with the Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array (SCUBA). The Fundamental Map Data Set contains data only where superior atmospheric opacity calibration data were available. The Extended Map Data Set contains data regardless of the quality of the opacity calibration. Each data set contains 1.2{deg}x1.2{deg} maps at locations where data existed in the JCMT archive, imaged using the matrix inversion method. The Fundamental Data Set is composed of 1423 maps at 850um and 1357 maps at 450um. The Extended Data Set is composed of 1547 maps at 850um. Neither data set includes high sensitivity, single-chop SCUBA maps of "cosmological fields" nor solar system objects. Each data set was used to determine a respective object catalogue, consisting of objects identified within the respective 850um maps using an automated identification algorithm. The Fundamental and Extended Map Object Catalogues contain 5061 and 6118 objects, respectively. Objects are named based on their respective J2000.0 position of peak 850um intensity. The catalogues provide for each object the respective maximum 850um intensity, estimates of total 850um flux and size, and tentative identifications from the SIMBAD Database. Where possible, the catalogues also provide for each object its maximum 450um intensity and total 450um flux and flux ratios.

- Description:
- We present an atlas of near-infrared spectra (2.36{mu}m-4.1{mu}m) of ~300 stars at moderate resolution ({lambda}/{delta}{lambda}~1500-2000). The spectra were recorded using the Short-Wavelength Spectrometer aboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO-SWS). The bulk of the observations were performed during a dedicated observation campaign after the liquid helium depletion of the ISO satellite, the so-called post-helium programme. This programme was aimed at extending the MK-classification to the near-infrared.

- Description:
- With the ongoing AKARI infrared sky survey, of much greater sensitivity than IRAS, a wealth of post-AGB objects may be discovered. It is thus time to organize our present knowledge of known post-AGB stars in the galaxy with a view to using it to search for new post-AGB objects among AKARI sources. We searched the literature available on the NASA Astrophysics Data System up to 1 October 2006, and defined criteria for classifying sources into three categories: very likely, possible and disqualified post-AGB objects. The category of very likely post-AGB objects is made up of several classes. We have created an evolutionary, on-line catalogue of Galactic post-AGB objects, to be referred to as the Torun catalogue of Galactic post-AGB and related objects. The present version of the catalogue contains 326 very likely, 107 possible and 64 disqualified objects. For the very likely post-AGB objects, the catalogue gives the available optical and infrared photometry, infrared spectroscopy and spectral types, and links to finding charts and bibliography.

- Description:
- The accompanying tables are part of a pictorial atlas of UV (2300A) images, obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Faint Object Camera, of the central 22"x22" of 110 galaxies. The observed galaxies are an unbiased selection constituting about one half of a complete sample of all large (D>6') and nearby (V< 2000 km/s) galaxies. This is the first extensive UV imaging survey of normal galaxies. The data are useful for studying star formation, low-level nuclear activity, and UV emission by evolved stellar populations in galaxies. At the HST resolution (0.05"), the images display an assortment of morphologies and UV brightnesses. These include bright nuclear point sources, compact young star clusters scattered in the field or arranged in circumnuclear rings, centrally-peaked diffuse light distributions, and galaxies with weak or undetected UV emission. We measure the integrated 2300A flux in each image, and classify the UV morphology. The UV and optical parameters are given in the tables.

- Description:
- This paper presents the results of spectral observations for the largest complete sample of very luminous IRAS galaxies obtained to date. The sample consists of those 73 objects for which log(L_IR_/L_sun_)>=11.5 (H0=50 km/s/Mpc, q0=0.5) and mag<=15.5, and was extracted from the 2Jy IRAS redshift catalog (Cat. <II/174>). All spectra were obtained using 2.16m telescope of Beijing Astronomical Observatory during the years 1994-1996. A total of 123 galaxy spectra were obtained with spectral ranges of 4400A to 7100A and 3500A to 8100A at resolutions of 11.2A and 9.3A respectively. In addition to the 73 spectra for sample galaxies, we also present spectra for ten non-sample galaxies and a further 40 for the companions of sample galaxies. The data presented include nuclear spectrum and the parameters describing the emission lines, absorption lines and continua as well as DSS images and environmental parameters.

- Short Name:

- Description:
- High-precision astrometry requires accurate point-spread function modeling and accurate geometric-distortion corrections. This paper demonstrates that it is possible to achieve both requirements with data collected at the High Acuity Wide-field K-band Imager (HAWK-I); a wide-field imager installed at the Nasmyth focus of UT4/VLT ESO 8m telescope. Our final astrometric precision reaches ~3mas per coordinate for a well exposed star in a single image, with a systematic error less than 0.1mas. We constructed calibrated astro-photometric catalogs and atlases of 7 fields: the Baade's window, NGC 6656, NGC 6121, NGC 6822, NGC 6388, NGC 104, and the James Webb Space Telescope calibration field (in the LMC). We make these catalogs and images electronically available to the community. Furthermore, as a demonstration of the efficacy of our approach, combining archival material taken with the optical wide-field imager at the MPI/ESO 2.2m with HAWK-I observations, we are able to achieve an excellent separation between cluster members and field objects for NGC 6656 and NGC 6121 with a time base-line of about 8 years. Using both HST and HAWK-I data, we also study the radial distribution of the SGB populations in NGC 6656 and conclude that the radial trend is flat, within our uncertains. We also provide membership probabilities for most of the stars in NGC 6656 and NGC 6121 catalogs and estimate membership for the published variable stars in these two fields.

- Description:
- The Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB) contains the descriptive information for the astronomical wide-field (~>1deg.) photographic observations stored in numerous archives all over the world. When finished it will provide an on-line access to the information for about 2 million observations from nearly 300 archives, obtained since the end of last century. Presently the WFPDB includes data for about 330 000 observations from 57 plate catalogues. About 120 000 observations more from 32 plate catalogs are in preparation to be included in the database. The WFPDB provides for each observation information for the corresponding archive, the parameters of the observational instrument, the observation parameters (position on sky, observation time, object name, method, exposure time, emulsion type, filter type, spectral band, plate size), as well as data on the plate quality, comments, and observers. Data on the plate availability and digitization will be supplemented in the WFPDB in the future.
