- Description:
- We present the completed KMOS^3D^ survey, an integral field spectroscopic survey of 739 log(M_*_/M_{sun}_)>9 galaxies at 0.6<z<2.7 using the K-band Multi Object Spectrograph (KMOS) at the Very Large Telescope. The KMOS3D survey provides a population-wide census of kinematics, star formation, outflows, and nebular gas conditions both on and off the star-forming galaxy main sequence through the spatially resolved and integrated properties of H{alpha}, [NII], and [SII] emission lines. We detect H{alpha} emission for 91% of galaxies on the main sequence of star formation and 79% overall. The depth of the survey has allowed us to detect galaxies with star formation rates below 1M_{sun}_/yr, as well as to resolve 81% of detected galaxies with >=3 resolution elements along the kinematic major axis. The detection fraction of H{alpha} is a strong function of both color and offset from the main sequence, with the detected and nondetected samples exhibiting different spectral energy distribution shapes. Comparison of H{alpha} and UV+IR star formation rates reveal that dust attenuation corrections may be underestimated by 0.5dex at the highest masses (log(M_*_/M_{sun}_)>10.5). We confirm our first year results of a high rotation-dominated fraction (monotonic velocity gradient and v_rot_/{sigma}_0_>3.36^0.5^) of 77% for the full KMOS^3D^ sample. The rotation-dominated fraction is a function of both stellar mass and redshift, with the strongest evolution measured over the redshift range of the survey for galaxies with log(M_*_/M_{sun}_)<10.5.

- Description:
- In this report we present the results of observations of a complete sample of sources from the PMN Survey. The adopted selection criteria were: flux density >200mJy at the PMN Survey frequency 4.8GHz; 0h<RA<24h; -21{deg}<=Dec<=-17{deg}; |b|>=10(deg} to exclude the galactic plane. Five runs of observations were accomplished in 1995-1996. The observations were made at 0.96, 2.3, 3.9, 7.7 and 11.2GHz at the RATAN-600 radio telescope. For all sources of the sample, flux densities at five frequencies and their simultaneous spectra were determined, accuracies in RA were improved 5-10 times. Identifications with data from the Texas Survey were performed.

- Comprehensive Catalogue of Kiso UV-X Galaxies (KUG2000)
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The referenced paper describes the compilation of the second Kiso UV-Excess galaxies survey as KUG2 catalogue. The result is shown in VII/261. The first survey catalogue KUG1 is shown in VII/179. As is described in the paper, there are some differences between KUG1 and KUG2, e.g. in photographic plates used and the observation condition in the surveys, such as emulsions, exposures or seeing sizes. The homogeneity of these KUG surveys is rather low, but their catalogues form a somewhat large collection of UV-excess/blue galaxies. In these circumstances, we intend to merge both catalogues, upon requests from investigators working in follow-up observations of these galaxies. In the process of catalogue merging, we met a systematic difference between the first (KUG1) and the second (KUG2) surveys in overall properties of objects, such as brightness, degree of UV-excess and morphological type. This mainly originates from differences in the observation condition and personal errors in the survey. We scrutinize and discuss those differences and errors, and finally merge into a comprehensive catalogue of KUGs (KUG2000) in the machine-readable form including near ten thousand UV-excess galaxies.

- Short Name:

- Description:
- We examine the z=0 group-integrated stellar and cold baryonic (stars + cold atomic gas) mass functions (group SMF and CBMF) and the baryonic collapse efficiency (group cold baryonic to dark matter halo mass ratio) using the RESOLVE and ECO survey galaxy group catalogs and a GALFORM semi-analytic model (SAM) mock catalog. The group SMF and CBMF fall off more steeply at high masses and rise with a shallower low-mass slope than the theoretical halo mass function (HMF). The transition occurs at the group-integrated cold baryonic mass M_bary_^cold^~10^11^M_{sun}_. The SAM, however, has significantly fewer groups at the transition mass ~10^11^M_{sun}_ and a steeper low-mass slope than the data, suggesting that feedback is too weak in low-mass halos and conversely too strong near the transition mass. Using literature prescriptions to include hot halo gas and potential unobservable galaxy gas produces a group BMF with a slope similar to the HMF even below the transition mass. Its normalization is lower by a factor of ~2, in agreement with estimates of warm-hot gas making up the remaining difference. We compute baryonic collapse efficiency with the halo mass calculated two ways, via halo abundance matching (HAM) and via dynamics (extended all the way to three-galaxy groups using stacking). Using HAM, we find that baryonic collapse efficiencies reach a flat maximum for groups across the halo mass range of M_halo_~10^11.4-12^M_{sun}_, which we label "nascent groups". Using dynamics, however, we find greater scatter in baryonic collapse efficiencies, likely indicating variation in group hot-to-cold baryon ratios. Similarly, we see higher scatter in baryonic collapse efficiencies in the SAM when using its true groups and their group halo masses as opposed to friends-of-friends groups and HAM masses.

- Continuum-band lags in SDSS QSOs from PS1 obs.
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/836/186
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We study the time lags between the continuum emission of quasars at different wavelengths, based on more than four years of multi-band (g, r, i, z) light curves in the Pan-STARRS Medium Deep Fields. As photons from different bands emerge from different radial ranges in the accretion disk, the lags constrain the sizes of the accretion disks. We select 240 quasars with redshifts of z~1 or z~0.3 that are relatively emission-line free. The light curves are sampled from day to month timescales, which makes it possible to detect lags on the scale of the light crossing time of the accretion disks. With the code JAVELIN, we detect typical lags of several days in the rest frame between the g band and the riz bands. The detected lags are ~2-3 times larger than the light crossing time estimated from the standard thin disk model, consistent with the recently measured lag in NGC 5548 and microlensing measurements of quasars. The lags in our sample are found to increase with increasing luminosity. Furthermore, the increase in lags going from g-r to g-i and then to g-z is slower than predicted in the thin disk model, particularly for high-luminosity quasars. The radial temperature profile in the disk must be different from what is assumed. We also find evidence that the lags decrease with increasing line ratios between ultraviolet Fe II lines and Mg II, which may point to changes in the accretion disk structure at higher metallicity.

- Continuum sources from the THOR survey

- Description:
- We carried out a large program with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA): "THOR: The HI, OH, Recombination line survey of the Milky Way". We observed a significant portion of the Galactic plane in the first quadrant of the Milky Way in the 21cm HI line, 4 OH transitions, 19 radio recombination lines, and continuum from 1 to 2GHz. In this paper we present a catalog of the continuum sources in the first half of the survey (l=14.0-37.9{deg} and l=47.1-51.2{deg}, |b|<1.1{deg}) at a spatial resolution of 10-25", depending on the frequency and sky position with a spatially varying noise level of ~0.3-1mJy/beam. The catalog contains ~4400 sources. Around 1200 of these are spatially resolved, and ~1000 are possible artifacts, given their low signal-to-noise ratios. Since the spatial distribution of the unresolved objects is evenly distributed and not confined to the Galactic plane, most of them are extragalactic. Thanks to the broad bandwidth of the observations from 1 to 2GHz, we are able to determine a reliable spectral index for ~1800 sources. The spectral index distribution reveals a double-peaked profile with maxima at spectral indices of alpha=-1 and alpha=0, corresponding to steep declining and flat spectra, respectively. This allows us to distinguish between thermal and non-thermal emission, which can be used to determine the nature of each source. We examine the spectral index of ~300 known HII regions, for which we find thermal emission with spectral indices around alpha=0. In contrast, supernova remnants (SNR) show non-thermal emission with alpha=-0.5 and extragalactic objects generally have a steeper spectral index of alpha=-1. Using the spectral index information of the THOR survey, we investigate potential SNR candidates. We classify the radiation of four SNR candidates as non-thermal, and for the first time, we provide strong evidence for the SNR origin of these candidates.

- CO obs. of MCs in the Extreme Outer Galaxy region
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/230/17
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the results of an unbiased CO survey in the Galactic range of 34.75{deg}<=l<=45.25{deg} and -5.25{deg}<=b<=5.25{deg}, and the velocity range beyond the Outer arm. A total of 168 molecular clouds (MCs) are identified within the Extreme Outer Galaxy (EOG) region, and 31 of these MCs are associated with ^13^CO emission. However, none of them show significant C^18^O emission under the current detection limit. The typical size and mass of these MCs are 5pc and 3x10^3^M_{sun}_, implying a lack of large and massive MCs in the EOG region. Similar to MCs in the outer Galaxy, the velocity dispersions of EOG clouds are also correlated with their sizes; however, they are well displaced below the scaling relationship defined by the inner Galaxy MCs. These MCs with a median Galactocentric radius of 12.6kpc show very different distributions from those of the MCs in the Outer arm published in our previous paper, while roughly following the Outer Scutum-Centaurus arm defined by Dame & Thaddeus (2011ApJ...734L..24D). This result may provide robust evidence for the existence of the Outer Scutum-Centaurus arm. The lower limit of the total mass of this segment is about 2.7x10^5^M_{sun}_, which is about one magnitude lower than that of the Outer arm. The mean thickness of the gaseous disk is about 1.45{deg} or 450pc, and the scale height is about 1.27{deg}, or 400pc above the b=0{deg} plane. The warp traced by CO emission is very obvious in the EOG region and its amplitude is consistent with the predictions by other warp models using different tracers, such as dust, HI, and stellar components of our Galaxy.

- Description:
- We investigate the infrared (IR) properties of cool, evolved stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), including the red giant branch (RGB) stars and the dust-producing red supergiant (RSG) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars using observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope Legacy program entitled "Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution in the Tidally Stripped, Low Metallicity SMC", or SAGE-SMC. The survey includes, for the first time, full spatial coverage of the SMC bar, wing, and tail regions at IR wavelengths (3.6-160um). We identify evolved stars using a combination of near-IR and mid-IR photometry and point out a new feature in the mid-IR color-magnitude diagram that may be due to particularly dusty O-rich AGB stars. We find that the RSG and AGB stars each contribute ~20% of the global SMC flux (extended + point-source) at 3.6um, which emphasizes the importance of both stellar types to the integrated flux of distant metal-poor galaxies.

- Short Name:

- Description:
- A catalogue of 239 ultra-compact HII regions (UCHIIs) found in the CORNISH survey at 5GHz and 1.5-arcsec resolution in the region 10{deg}<l<65{deg}, |b|<1{deg} is presented. This is the largest complete and well-selected sample of UCHIIs to date and provides the opportunity to explore the global and individual properties of this key state in massive star formation at multiple wavelengths. The nature of the candidates was validated, based on observational properties and calculated spectral indices, and the analysis is presented in this work. The physical sizes, luminosities and other physical properties were computed by utilising literature distances or calculating the distances whenever a value was not available. The near- and mid-infrared extended source fluxes were measured and the extinctions towards the UCHIIs were computed. The new results were combined with available data at longer wavelengths and the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) were reconstructed for 177 UCHIIs. The bolometric luminosities obtained from SED fitting are presented. By comparing the radio flux densities to previous observational epochs, we find about 5% of the sources appear to be time variable. This first high-resolution area survey of the Galactic plane shows that the total number of UCHIIs in the Galaxy is ~750 - a factor of 3-4 fewer than found in previous large area radio surveys. It will form the basis for future tests of models of massive star formation.
