- Description:
- This survey consists of H I 21-cm spectra covering the entire northern sky with absolute Galactic latitude |b|>10 degrees and declination dec>-30degrees. The observations were made with the Hat Creek 85-foot telescope between 1968 and 1970. The individual spectra were obtained with a bank of 100 filters covering the velocity range from -92km/s to +75km/s. The velocity resolution was 2 km/sec (except at the ends of the spectra) and the beamwidth was 36arcmin. The spacing between points observed on the sky is (0.3deg/cosb) in Galactic longitude and (0.6deg) in Galactic latitude. A FITS version of the survey was derived at the Astrophysics Data Facility (NASA/GSFC) from the original catalog of spectra. The approximately 130,000 good spectra in the catalog (i.e., those with status code 1 and which have flat baselines) were interpolated to a uniform channel width in frequency, shifted as appropriate to take into account the proper central velocities, then interpolated onto a regular grid in Galactic coordinates. For the latter interpolation, the cos(b) corrections for longitude offsets were taken into account; no interpolation was done across gaps in coverage greater than 2 deg. Latitude-velocity slices were written in FITS format for each 30 arcmin of longitude. Separate files were written for the negative latitude (b < -10 deg ) and positive latitude (b > 10 deg) ranges. Slices containing no spectra, primarily negative latitude spectra in the fourth Galactic quadrant, were not written. A longitude-latitude map, integrated over all velocities, was also written in FITS format to illustrate the coverage of the individual latitude-velocity slices.

- Description:
- We present parallaxes, proper motions, and J-band photometry for 348 L and T dwarfs measured using the wide-field near-infrared camera (WFCAM) on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT). This is the largest single batch of infrared parallaxes for brown dwarfs to date. Our parallaxes have a median uncertainty of 3.5mas, similar to most previous ground-based infrared parallax surveys. Our target list was designed to complete a volume-limited parallax sample of L0-T8 dwarfs out to 25pc spanning declinations -30{deg} to +60{deg} (68% of the sky). We report the first parallaxes for 165 objects, and we improve on previous measurements for another 53 objects. Our targets include 104 objects (mostly early-L dwarfs) having Gaia DR2 parallax measurements with which our parallaxes are consistent. We include an extensive comparison of previous literature parallaxes for L and T dwarfs with both our results and Gaia DR2 measurements, identifying systematic offsets for some previous surveys. Our parallaxes confirm that 14 objects previously identified as wide common proper motion companions to main-sequence stars have distances consistent with companionship. We also report new J_MKO_ photometry for our targets, including the first measurements for 193 of our targets and improvements over previously published J_MKO_ photometry for another 60 targets. Altogether, our parallaxes will enable the first population studies using a volume-limited sample spanning spectral types L0-T8 defined entirely by parallaxes.

- Hawaii redshifts in the ACS-GOODS region
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/127/3137
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We report the results of an extensive spectroscopic survey of galaxies in the roughly 160 arcmin^2^ ACS-GOODS region surrounding the Hubble Deep Field North (HDF-N). We have identified 892 galaxies or stars with z<24, R<24.5, or B<25 in the region. The spectra were obtained with either the DEIMOS or LRIS spectrographs on the Keck 10m telescopes. The results are compared with photometric redshift estimates and with redshifts from the literature, as well as with the redshifts of a parallel effort led by a group at Keck. Our sample, when combined with the literature data, provides identifications for 1324 sources. We use our results to determine the redshift distributions with magnitude, to analyze the rest-frame color distributions with redshift and spectral type, and to investigate the dependence of the X-ray galaxy properties on the local galaxy density in the redshift interval z=0-1.5. We find the rather surprising result that the galaxy X-ray properties are not strongly dependent on the local galaxy density for galaxies in the same luminosity range.

- HDBSCAN star, galaxy, QSO classification
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/633/A154

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Classification will be an important first step for upcoming surveys that will detect billions of new sources such as LSST and Euclid, as well as DESI, 4MOST and MOONS. The application of traditional methods of model fitting and colour-colour selections will face significant computational constraints, while machine-learning (ML) methods offer a viable approach to tackle datasets of that volume. While supervised learning methods can perform very well for classification tasks, the creation of representative and accurate training sets is a resource and time consuming task. We present a viable alternative using an unsupervised ML method to separate stars, galaxies and QSOs using photometric data. The heart of our work uses HDBSCAN to find the star, galaxy and QSO clusters in a multidimensional colour space. We optimized the hyperparameters and input attributes of three separate HDBSCAN runs, each to select a particular object class, and thus treat the output of each separate run as a binary classifier. We subsequently consolidate the output to give our final classifications, optimized on their F1 scores. We explore the use of Random Forest and PCA as part of the pre-processing stage for feature selection and dimensionality reduction. Using our dataset of ~50000 spectroscopically labelled objects we obtain an F1 score of 98.9, 98.9 and 93.13 respectively for star, galaxy and QSO selection using our unsupervised learning method. We find that careful attribute selection is a vital part of accurate classification with HDBSCAN. We applied our classification to a subset of the SDSS spectroscopic catalogue and demonstrate the potential of our approach in correcting misclassified spectra useful for DESI and 4MOST. Finally, we create a multiwavelength catalogue of 2.7 million sources using the KiDS, VIKING and ALLWISE surveys and publish corresponding classifications and photometric redshifts.

- Description:
- File flanking.dat contains Unpublished Catalogue of Galaxies identified by the DEEP Team in the Flanking Fields. This is the source catalogue that Vogt et al. (1997ApJ...479L.121V), Phillips et al. (1997ApJ...489..543P), Guzman et al. (1997ApJ...489..559G), and Mendez & Guzman (1998A&A...333..106M) used to select objects. The photometry in this catalogue was carried out using circular apertures of 3 arcsec diameter, as described by Phillips et al. (1997ApJ...489..543P). These will present small differences (~0.12mag, rms) relative to published values for the sample of 51 compact galaxies that were analysed by Phillips et al. (1997ApJ...489..543P) and Guzman et al. (1997ApJ...489..559G). This is because for the papers, the I(814) magnitudes were recalculated using elliptical apertures to 8 arcsec. The differences should only be significant in the case of galaxies with larger apparent sizes or with elongated shapes.

- Description:
- We present a new submillimetre (submm) super-map in the Hubble Deep Field North (HDF-N) region (Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey North, GOODS-N, field), containing 40 statistically robust sources at 850um. This map contains additional data, and several new sources, including one of the brightest blank-sky extragalactic submm sources ever detected. We have used the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images and ground-based near-infrared (IR) observations from the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS), along with deep radio observations, to develop a systematic approach for counterpart identification. With the depth achieved by this survey, optical counterparts have been found for all the radio-detected (RD) submm sources.

- HeCS-red: Hectospec surveys of redMaPPer clusters
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/862/172
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We use dense redshift surveys to explore the properties of galaxy clusters selected from the redMaPPer catalog. Our new survey, Hectospec Cluster Survey of red-sequence-selected clusters (HeCS-red), includes 10589 new or remeasured redshifts from MMT/Hectospec observations of 27 redMaPPer clusters at redshifts z=0.08-0.25 with large estimated richnesses (richness estimate {lambda}>64). Our spectra confirm that each candidate cluster corresponds to a large overdensity in redshift space. The redMaPPer photometric redshifts have a slight bias toward higher redshifts. We measure the relation between velocity dispersion {sigma}p and {lambda}. The relation shows intrinsic scatter of 24% (and a range of 2x) in velocity dispersion at fixed richness. We extend our analysis to HeCS-red-ext, a sample that includes several clusters selected by X-ray flux or Sunyaev-Zeldovich signal. The heterogeneous sample of 121 clusters in HeCS-red-ext shows similar intrinsic scatter in the {sigma}p-{lambda} relation as the HeCS-red sample, but the range of {sigma}p at fixed richness increases to 3x. We evaluate the membership probability estimates Pmem for individual galaxies provided by redMaPPer. The spectroscopic membership fraction is larger than Pmem for 0.05<=P_mem_<=0.7; conversely, the spectroscopic membership fraction is smaller than P_mem_ at P_mem_>=0.8. We compare spectroscopic richness estimates with redMaPPer richness estimates and find good agreement on average, but a range of a factor of two in spectroscopic richness at fixed redMaPPer richness. Overall, within the high-richness and low-redshift cut of our sample, spectroscopically estimated parameters such as velocity dispersion correlate well with photometric richness estimates, although the relations contain substantial scatter.

- Hectospec Cluster Survey (HeCS)

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The infall regions of galaxy clusters represent the largest gravitationally bound structures in a {Lambda}CDM universe. Measuring cluster mass profiles into the infall regions provides an estimate of the ultimate mass of these halos. We use the caustic technique to measure cluster mass profiles from galaxy redshifts obtained with the Hectospec Cluster Survey (HeCS), an extensive spectroscopic survey of galaxy clusters with MMT/Hectospec. We survey 58 clusters selected by X-ray flux at 0.1<z<0.3. The survey includes 22680 unique MMT/Hectospec redshifts for individual galaxies; 10145 of these galaxies are cluster members. For each cluster, we acquired high signal-to-noise spectra for ~200 cluster members and a comparable number of foreground/background galaxies. The cluster members trace out infall patterns around the clusters. The members define a very narrow red sequence. We demonstrate that the determination of velocity dispersion is insensitive to the inclusion of bluer members (a small fraction of the cluster population). We apply the caustic technique to define membership and estimate the mass profiles to large radii. The ultimate halo mass of clusters (the mass that remains bound in the far future of a {Lambda}CDM universe) is on average (1.99+/-0.11)M_200_, a new observational cosmological test in essential agreement with simulations. Summed profiles binned in M_200_ and in L_X_demonstrate that the predicted Navarro-Frenk-White form of the density profile is a remarkably good representation of the data in agreement with weak lensing results extending to large radius. The concentration of these summed profiles is also consistent with theoretical predictions.

- Hectospec survey of SZ clusters (HeCS-SZ)
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/819/63
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We estimate cluster masses and velocity dispersions for 123 clusters from optical spectroscopy to compare the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) mass proxy and dynamical masses. Our new survey, HeCS-SZ (Hectospec Cluster Survey of SZ-selected clusters), includes 7721 new or remeasured redshifts from MMT/Hectospec observations of 21 SZ-selected clusters at redshifts z=0.05-0.20. We supplement the Hectospec data with spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and cluster data from the Cluster Infall Regions in SDSS project and the Hectospec Cluster Survey, our Hectospec survey of clusters selected by X-ray flux. We measure the scaling relation between velocity dispersion and SZ mass estimates from the integrated Compton parameter for an SZ-complete sample of 83 clusters. The observed relation agrees very well with a simple virial scaling from mass (based on SZ) to velocity dispersion. The SZ mass estimates (calibrated with hydrostatic X-ray mass estimates) are not significantly biased compared to dynamical mass estimates under the assumption of small velocity bias of galaxies compared to dark matter particles. Significant mass bias in SZ mass estimates could relieve tension between cosmological results from Planck SZ cluster counts and Planck CMB data. In principle, SZ mass bias and velocity bias of galaxies could conspire to yield good agreement, but the required velocity bias is {sigma}_galaxy_~0.77{sigma}_DM_, outside the range of recent models of velocity bias in the literature. More likely, SZ mass bias and velocity bias are both small, and the tension between SZ cluster counts and CMB data requires another explanation.
