- Description:
- The Hubble Ultra Deep Field (PI: Steven V. W. Beckwith) is a 400-orbit Cycle 12 program to image a single field of the Wide Field Camera (WFC) of the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) in four filters: F435W (B), F606W (V), F775W (i), and F850LP (z). The observations took place over 4 months from September 2003 to January 2004 under two program IDs: 9978 and 10086. The observations consist of half-orbit exposures, cycling through each of the filters in a 4-point dither pattern to provide sub-pixel sampling, as well as a larger-scale 3-point line pattern to cover the 2 second of arc gap between the two ACS/WFC chips. The total exposure times are summarized below, with typical exposure times of 1200s for individual images. The AB magnitude zero-points for ACS are current as of March 2004. --------------------------------------------------------------- Number of Number of Total Exp. AB mag.

- Description:
- Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are stars ejected completely out of the Milky Way by three-body interactions with the massive black hole in the Galactic center. We describe 643 new spectroscopic observations from our targeted survey for HVSs. We find a significant (3.5{sigma}) excess of B-type stars with large velocities +275km/s<V_rf_<450km/s and distances d>10kpc that are most plausibly explained as a new class of HVSs: stars ejected from the Galactic center on bound orbits. If a Galactic center ejection origin is correct, the distribution of HVSs on the sky should be anisotropic for a survey complete to a fixed limiting apparent magnitude. The unbound HVSs in our survey have a marginally anisotropic distribution on the sky, consistent with the Galactic center ejection picture.

- IAC Stripe 82 Legacy Project: Photometry
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present new deep co-adds of data taken within Stripe 82 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), especially stacked to reach the faintest surface brightness limits of this data set. Stripe 82 covers 275 square degrees within -50{deg}<=RA<=+60{deg} and -1.26{deg}<=DE<=+1.25{deg}. We discuss the steps of our reduction which puts special emphasis on preserving the characteristics of the background (sky + diffuse light) in the input images using a non-aggressive sky subtraction strategy. Our reduction reaches a limit of ~28.5 mag/arcsec^2^ (3{sigma}, 10x10 arcsec^2^) in the r band. The effective surface brightness limit (50 per cent completeness for exponential light distribution) lies at <{mu}e(r)>~25.5mag/arcsec^2^. For point sources, we reach 50 per cent completeness limits (3{sigma} level) of (24.2, 25.2, 24.7, 24.3, 23.0) mag in (u, g, r, i, z). This is between 1.7 and 2.0mag deeper than the single-epoch SDSS releases. The co-adds show point spread functions (PSFs) with median full width at half-maximum values ranging from 1-arcsec in i and z to 1.3-arcsec in the u band. The imaging data are made publicly available at http://www.iac.es/proyecto/stripe82. The release includes deep co-adds and representations of the PSF for each field. Additionally, we provide object catalogues with stars and galaxies confidently separated until g~23mag. The IAC Stripe 82 co-adds offer a rather unique possibility to study the low surface brightness Universe, exemplified by the discovery of stellar streams around NGC 0426 and NGC 0936. We also discuss further science cases like stellar haloes and disc truncations, low surface brightness galaxies, the intracluster light in galaxy clusters and the diffuse emission of Galactic dust known as Galactic Cirrus.

- ICRF2 sources of the Rio survey
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/430/2797
- Date:

- Description:
- We obtained improved optical positions for 300 ICRF2 sources - the Rio survey. We compared the Rio survey with 10 other selected optical astrometric surveys and studied the link between the Hipparcos Catalogue Reference Frame (HCRF) and the International Celestial Reference Frame, Second Realization (ICRF2). We investigated the possible causes for the observed non-coincidence between the optical and ICRF2 positions. The Rio survey positions were referred to the second version of the United States Naval Observatory CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC2), currently the best tested HCRF densification. The sources are between -90{deg}<{delta}<+30{deg}. We used two telescopes with suitable diameters and focal lengths to properly link the observed ICRF2 sources with the UCAC2, using intermediate brightness stars. We certified the astrometry done with many statistical tests. The average 'optical minus ICRF2' offsets and respective standard deviations in ({alpha}, {delta}) were -3mas (41mas) and +4 (45mas). The Rio survey represents well the zero-point offset of the other surveys. The standard error of 3.5mas found for the HCRF/ICRF2 link indicates an error excess that can be originated by a non-coincidence between the observed optical/VLBI positions. We thus discussed the influence of the errors from the UCAC2. Then, we searched for correlations with the source morphology, represented by structure indices defined in the radio and in the optical domain. Finally, we studied how the position offsets could originate from the perturbation of the optical point spread function (PSF) of the source's core, by a second source of flux. We found an analytical relation that describes the resulting centroid shift, as a function of the atmospheric seeing, the brightness ratio and the relative distance between the two contributing flux sources. Two scenarios, modelled by this relation, are discussed: an extinction window in the dust torus nearby the core, and a Galactic star near the line of sight.

- Identification and analysis of eclipsing binaries
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/628/411
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We have developed a fully automated pipeline for systematically identifying and analyzing eclipsing binaries within large data sets of light curves. The pipeline is made up of multiple tiers that subject the light curves to increasing levels of scrutiny. After each tier, light curves that did not conform to a given criteria were filtered out of the pipeline, reducing the load on the following, more computationally intensive tiers. As a central component of the pipeline, we created the fully automated Detached Eclipsing Binary Light curve fitter (DEBiL), which rapidly fits large numbers of light curves to a simple model. Using the results of DEBiL, light curves of interest can be flagged for follow-up analysis. As a test case, we analyzed the 218,699 light curves within the bulge fields of the OGLE II survey and produced 10,862 model fits. We point out a small number of extreme examples, as well as unexpected structure found in several of the population distributions. We expect this approach to become increasingly important as light-curve data sets continue growing in both size and number.

- IGAPS. merged IPHAS and UVEX of northern Galactic plane
- Short Name:
- V/165
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The INT Galactic Plane Survey (IGAPS) is the merger of the optical photometric surveys, IPHAS and UVEX, based on data from the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) obtained between 2003 and 2018. Here, we present the IGAPS point source catalogue. It contains 295.4 million rows providing photometry in the filters, i, r, narrow-band H{alpha}, g, and URGO. The IGAPS footprint fills the Galactic coordinate range, |b|<5{deg} and 30{deg}<l<215{deg}. A uniform calibration, referred to as the Pan-STARRS system, is applied to g, r, and i, while the H{alpha} calibration is linked to r and then is reconciled via field overlaps. The astrometry in all five bands has been recalculated in the reference frame of Gaia Data Release 2. Down to i~20mag (Vega system), most stars are also detected in g, r, and H{alpha}. As exposures in the r band were obtained in both the IPHAS and UVEX surveys, typically a few years apart, the catalogue includes two distinct r measures, r_I_ and r_U_. The r 10{sigma} limiting magnitude is approximately 21, with median seeing of 1.1arcsec. Between approximately 13^th^ and 19^th^ mag in all bands, the photometry is internally reproducible to within 0.02 magnitudes. Stars brighter than r=19.5mag are tested for narrow-band H{alpha} excess signalling line emission, and for variation exceeding |r_I_-r_U_|=0.2mag. We find and flag 8292 candidate emission line stars and over 53000 variables (both at >5{sigma} confidence).

- CDS
- Description:
- We present results of our intermediate-band optical imaging survey for high-z Ly{alpha} emitters (LAEs) using the prime focus camera, Suprime-Cam, on the 8.2m Subaru telescope. In our survey, we used eleven filters: four broad-band filters (B, R_C_, i', and z') and seven intermediate-band filters covering from 500nm to 720nm. We call this imaging program the Mahoroba-11. The seven intermediate-band filters were selected from a series of IA filters, which is the Suprime-Cam intermediate-band filter system, whose spectral resolution is R=23. Our survey was made in a 34'x27' sky area in the Subaru XMM-Newton Deep Survey Field. We found 409 IA-excess objects, which provided us with a large photometric sample of strong emission-line objects. Applying the photometric redshift method to this sample, we obtained a new sample of 198 LAE candidates at 3<z<5. We found no evidence for evolutions of the number density and the star-formation rate density (SFRD) for LAEs with logL(Ly{alpha})(erg/s)>42.67 between z~3 and z~5.

- Imperial IRAS-FSC redshift catalogue (IIFSCz)
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/398/109
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a new catalogue, the Imperial IRAS-FSC Redshift Catalogue (IIFSCz), of 60303 galaxies selected at 60um from the IRAS Faint Source Catalogue (FSC). The IIFSCz consists of accurate position, optical, near-infrared and/or radio identifications, spectroscopic redshift (if available) or photometric redshift (if possible), predicted far-infrared (FIR) and submillimetre (submm) fluxes ranging from 12 to 1380um based upon the best-fitting infrared template. About 55% of the galaxies in the IIFSCz have spectroscopic redshifts, and a further 20% have photometric redshifts obtained through either the training set or the template-fitting method. For S(60)>0.36Jy, the 90% completeness limit of the FSC, 90% of the sources have either spectroscopic or photometric redshifts. Scientific applications of the IIFSCz include validation of current and forthcoming infrared and submm/mm surveys such as AKARI, Planck and Herschel, follow-up studies of rare source populations, large-scale structure and galaxy bias, local multiwavelength luminosity functions and source counts. The catalogue is publicly available at http://astro.imperial.ac.uk/~mrr/fss/.

- Improved 2Ms and 250ks Chandra catalogs
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present improved point-source catalogs for the 2Ms Chandra Deep Field-North (CDF-N) and the 250ks Extended Chandra Deep Field-South (E-CDF-S) Surveys, implementing a number of recent improvements in Chandra source-cataloging methodology. For CDF-N/E-CDF-S, we provide a main catalog that contains 683/1003 X-ray sources detected with wavdetect at a false-positive probability threshold of 10^-5^ that also satisfy a binomial-probability source-selection criterion of P<=0.004/P<0.002. Such an approach maximizes the number of reliable sources detected: a total of 196/275 main-catalog sources are new compared to the Alexander+ (2003, J/AJ/126/539) CDF-N/Lehmer+ (2005, J/ApJS/161/21) E-CDF-S main catalogs. We also provide CDF-N/E-CDF-S supplementary catalogs that consist of 72/56 sources detected at the same wavdetect threshold and having P of 0.004-0.1/0.002-0.1 and Ks<=22.9/Ks<=22.3mag counterparts. For all ~1800 CDF-N and E-CDF-S sources, including the ~500 newly detected ones (these being generally fainter and more obscured), we determine X-ray source positions utilizing centroid and matched-filter techniques; we also provide multiwavelength identifications, apparent magnitudes of counterparts, spectroscopic and/or photometric redshifts, basic source classifications, and estimates of observed active galactic nucleus and galaxy source densities around respective field centers. Simulations show that both the CDF-N and E-CDF-S main catalogs are highly reliable and reasonably complete. Background and sensitivity analyses indicate that the on-axis mean flux limits reached represent a factor of ~1.5-2.0 improvement over the previous CDF-N and E-CDF-S limits. We make our data products publicly available.
