- Description:
- Results for the south Galactic cap region of the Montreal-Cambridge-Tololo survey of blue subluminous stars are presented. This region overlaps the 840 deg^2^ region studied almost three decades ago by Slettebak & Brundage (1971AJ.....76..338S). We present a list of equatorial coordinates, photographic photometry, and spectroscopic identifications, as well as finding charts, for 188 blue objects [(U-B)_pg_<=-0.6] brighter than B_pg_=16.5 in this area. Completeness of the survey and comparisons with other similar efforts are discussed.

- Description:
- The S-band Polarisation All-Sky Survey (S-PASS) has observed the entire southern sky using the 64-metre Parkes radio telescope at 2.3GHz with an effective bandwidth of 184MHz. The surveyed sky area covers all declinations DE<0{deg}. To analyse compact sources the survey data have been re-processed to produce a set of 107 Stokes I maps with 10.75-arcmin resolution and the large scale emission contribution filtered out. In this paper we use these Stokes I images to create a total intensity southern-sky extragalactic source catalogue at 2.3GHz. The source catalogue contains 23389 sources and covers a sky area of 16600deg^2^, excluding the Galactic plane for latitudes |b|<10{deg}. Approximately 8% of catalogued sources are resolved. S-PASS source positions are typically accurate to within 35-arcsec. At a flux density of 225mJy the S-PASS source catalogue is more than 95% complete, and ~94% of S-PASS sources brighter than 500mJy/beam have a counterpart at lower frequencies.

- Description:
- The relationship between galaxies and the state/chemical enrichment of the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) expected to dominate the baryon budget at low-z provides sensitive constraints on structure formation and galaxy evolution models. We present a deep redshift survey in the field of 1ES1553+113, a blazar with a unique combination of ultraviolet (UV)+X-ray spectra for surveys of the circumgalactic/intergalactic medium (CGM/IGM). Nicastro+ (2018Natur.558..406N) reported the detection of two OVII WHIM absorbers at z=0.4339 and 0.3551 in its spectrum, suggesting that the WHIM is metal rich and sufficient to close the missing baryons problem. Our survey indicates that the blazar is a member of a z=0.433 group and that the higher-z OVII candidate arises from its intragroup medium. The resulting bias precludes its use in baryon censuses. The z=0.3551 candidate occurs in an isolated environment 630kpc from the nearest galaxy (with stellar mass logM_*_/M_{sun}_~9.7), which we show is unexpected for the WHIM. Finally, we characterize the galactic environments of broad HI Ly{alpha} absorbers (Doppler widths of b=40-80km/s; T<~4x10^5^K) that provide metallicity-independent WHIM probes. On average, broad Ly{alpha} absorbers are ~2x closer to the nearest luminous (L>0.25L*) galaxy (700kpc) than narrow (b<30km/s; T<~4x10^5^K) ones (1300kpc) but ~2x further than OVI absorbers (350kpc). These observations suggest that gravitational collapse heats portions of the IGM to form the WHIM, but with feedback that does not enrich the IGM far beyond galaxy/group halos to levels currently observable in UV/X-ray metal lines.

- Spectral classification for 631 {rho}Puppis stars
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/160/52
- Date:
- 09 Mar 2022
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The {rho}Puppis stars are mid-F-type stars that show peculiar chemical-abundance patterns similar to those of the Am stars. Typically they exhibit overabundances of iron-peak elements such as Fe and Ni and s- and r-process elements such as Sr and Eu, and underabundances of certain other elements including He, Ca, and Sc. It has been proposed that these stars are evolving Am stars passing through the short-lived phase that occurs between the re-establishment of convection and the consequent erasure of their chemical peculiarities. In this paper we suggest a second hypothesis: these stars may have acquired their peculiar abundance patterns in a fashion similar to the Barium stars, i.e., they may have gained the s-process element enhancements via mass transfer from a once asymptotic giant-branch companion star, now turned white dwarf. This study will detail our efforts to investigate the {rho}Puppis stars with regard to these two hypotheses, with a view to understanding these stars and their significance in terms of stellar evolution. We have performed a spectral classification survey, and a detailed chemical-abundance analysis of selected {rho}Puppis stars. This paper gives an overview of the {rho}Puppis stars and describes the spectral classification survey which has increased the number of {rho}Puppis stars currently known from 6 to 49. A future paper will describe the chemical-abundance analysis which should provide insight into the nature of these stars.

- Description:
- Spectral line surveys are an indispensable tool for exploring the physical and chemical evolution of astrophysical environments due to the vast amount of data that can be obtained in a relatively short amount of time. We present deep, broadband spectral line surveys of 30 interstellar clouds using two broadband {lambda}=1.3mm receivers at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. This information can be used to probe the influence of physical environment on molecular complexity. We observed a wide variety of sources to examine the relative abundances of organic molecules as they relate to the physical properties of the source (i.e., temperature, density, dynamics, etc.). The spectra are highly sensitive, with noise levels <=25mK at a velocity resolution of ~0.35km/s. In the initial analysis presented here, column densities and rotational temperatures have been determined for the molecular species that contribute significantly to the spectral line density in this wavelength regime. We present these results and discuss their implications for complex molecule formation in the interstellar medium.

- Description:
- The spectral survey, carried out at the Stockholm Observatory, was initiated by B. Lindblad. The observational material was obtained by L.O. Loden, K. Loden and others in the years 1956-1965, when the Stockholm Observatory took part in a joint enterprise for using the Harvard-Boyden station. The Swedish Natural Science Research Council, the Royal Academy of the Sciences, and the K. and A. Wallenberg Foundation funded the observations, which are based on both direct and objective prism plates. The data were published in three parts, the first having less precise positions than the others. The coordinates for Catalogue I (3033) were later recomputed with the same reduction procedure as Catalogues II (3034) and III (3035), making the present catalogue uniform (Andersen, 1977). The files include star identification, finding chart identification, RA and Dec, galactic longitude and latitude, spectral type, blue magnitude, visual magnitude and remarks. The data concerning the part 2 were revised by Brian Skiff in November 1996 (see the "History" section below)

- Description:
- There are more than 3000 known Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe), but only 492 central stars of Galactic planetary nebulae (CSPN) have known spectral types. It is vital to increase this number in order to have reliable statistics, which will lead to an increase of our understanding of these amazing objects. We aim to contribute to the knowledge of central stars of planetary nebulae and stellar evolution. This observational study is based on Gemini Multi-Object Spectrographs (GMOS) and with the Intermediate Dispersion Spectrograph (IDS) at the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) spectra of 78 CSPN. The objects were selected because they did not have any previous classification, or the present classification is ambiguous. These new high quality spectra allowed us to identify the key stellar lines for determining spectral classification in the Morgan-Keenan (MK) system. We have acquired optical spectra of a large sample of CSPN. From the observed targets, 50 are classified here for the first time while for 28 the existing classifications have been improved. In seven objects we have identified a P-Cygni profile at the HeI lines. Six of these CSPN are late O-type. The vast majority of the stars in the sample exhibit an absorption-type spectrum, and in one case we have found wide emission lines typical of [WR] stars. We give a complementary, and preliminary, classification criterion to obtain the sub-type of the O(H)-type CSPN. Finally, we give a more realistic value of the proportion of CSPN that are rich or poor in hydrogen.

- Description:
- We present the results of a search for wide companions to planet-host stars to improve our knowledge on their multiplicity at wide physical separations. We cross-matched approximately 6200 square degree area of the Southern sky imaged by the Visible Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) Hemisphere Survey (VHS) with the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) to look for wide common proper motion companions to known planet-host stars. We complemented our astrometric search with photometric criteria. We confirmed spectroscopically the co-moving nature of seven sources out of 16 companion candidates and discarded eight, while the remaining one stays as a candidate. Among these new wide companions to planet-host stars, we discovered a T4.5 dwarf companion at 6.3-arcmin (~9000AU) from HIP70849, a K7V star which hosts a 9 Jupiter mass planet with an eccentric orbit. We also report two new stellar M dwarf companions to one G and one metal-rich K star. We infer stellar and substellar binary frequencies for our complete sample of 37 targets of 5.4+/-3.8% and 2.7+/-2.7% (1 sigma confidence level), respectively, for projected physical separations larger than ~60-160AU assuming the range of distances of planet-host stars (24-75pc). These values are comparable to the frequencies of non planet-host stars. We find that the period-eccentricity trend holds with a lack of multiple systems with planets at large eccentricities (e>0.2) for periods less than 40-days. However, the lack of planets more massive than 2.5 Jupiter masses and short periods (<40-days) orbiting single stars is not so obvious due to recent discoveries by ground-based transit surveys and space missions.

- Description:
- We present a catalog of spectrophotometric redshifts for 1308 galaxies from the Grism ACS Program for Extragalactic Science (GRAPES) observations with the Hubble Space Telescope. These low-resolution spectra between 6000{AA} and 9500{AA} are supplemented with U, J, H, and Ks data from various facilities, resulting in redshifts computed with ~40 spectral bins per galaxy. For 75 galaxies in the range 0.5<z<1.5 with spectroscopic redshifts, the standard deviation in the fractional error in 1+z is 0.037. With this catalog, we compute the B-band luminosity function in this redshift range from 72 galaxies. Due to the depth of the GRAPES survey, we are able to accurately constrain the faint-end slope by going to MB~-18mag at z=1.0+/-0.2, nearly 2mag fainter than previous studies. The faint-end slope is alpha=-1.32+/-0.07. When compared to numerous published values at various redshifts, we find strong evidence for a steepening of the faint-end slope with redshift, which is expected in the hierarchical formation scenario of galaxies.
