- Description:
- We present two spectroscopic surveys of the tidal stellar stream of the Palomar 5 globular cluster undertaken with the VLT/FLAMES and AAT/AAOmega instruments. We use these data in conjunction with photometric data presented in the previous contribution in this series to classify the survey stars in terms of their probability of belonging to the Palomar 5 stellar stream. We find that high-probability candidates are only found in a very narrow spatial interval surrounding the locus of the stream on the sky. PanSTARRS RRLyrae stars in this region of the sky are also distributed in a similar manner. The absence of significant "fanning" of this stellar stream confirms that Palomar 5 does not follow a chaotic orbit. Previous studies have found that Palomar 5 is largely devoid of low-mass stars, and we show that this is true also of the stellar populations along the trailing arm out to 6{deg}. Within this region, which contains 73% of the detected stars, the population is statistically identical to the core, implying that the ejection of the low-mass stars occurred before the formation of the stream. We also present an updated structural model fit to the bound remnant, which yields a total mass of 4297+/-98M_{sun}_ and a tidal radius 0.145+/-0.009kpc. We estimate the mass of the observed system including the stream to be 12200+/-400M_{sun}_, and the initial mass to have been ~47000+/-1500M_{sun}_.

- Description:
- The Las Campanas Infrared Survey, based on broadband optical and near-infrared photometry, is designed to robustly identify a statistically significant and representative sample of evolved galaxies at redshifts z>1. We have completed an H-band imaging survey over 1.1{deg}^2^ of sky in six separate fields. The average 5{sigma} detection limit in a 4" diameter aperture is H~20.8. Here we describe the design of the survey, the observation strategies, data-reduction techniques, and object identification procedures. We present sample near-infrared and optical photometric catalogs for objects identified in two survey fields. The optical images of the Hubble Deep Field-South region obtained from the literature reach 5{sigma} detection thresholds in a 4" diameter aperture of U~24.6, B~26.1, V~25.6, R~25.1, and I~24.2mag. The optical images of the Chandra Deep Field-South region obtained from our own observations reach 5 {sigma} detection thresholds in a 4" diameter aperture of V~26.8, R~26.2, I~25.3, and z'~23.7mag. We perform object detection in all bandpasses and identify>~54000 galaxies over 1408 arcmin^2^ of sky in the two fields. Of these galaxies, ~14000 are detected in the H band and ~2000 have the colors of evolved galaxies, I-H >~3, at z>~1.

- CDS
- Description:
- Low-resolution objective-prism spectra (1360{AA}/mm at H{gamma}) of 184 late-type stars in the Galactic antirotation direction have been obtained with the Curtis Schmidt telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. The stars have been classified into three groups: F6-G2, G3-K0, and K1-M8. Subsequent observations on the BV and DDO systems have been obtained. The correlation between the thin-prism classes and the DDO classes is as expected, with no significant systematic differences of note. A comparison of Guide Star Catalog magnitudes, corrected to V, is also made, with favorable results. The stars in this list are expected to be useful for studying the structure and star formation history of the Milky Way.

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The results are presented of an extensive programme of optical and infrared imaging of radio sources in a complete subsample of the Leiden-Berkeley Deep Survey. The LBDS Hercules sample consists of 72 sources observed at 1.4GHz, with flux densities S_1.4_>=1.0mJy, in a 1.2deg^2^ region of Hercules. This sample is almost completely identified in the g, r, i and K bands, with some additional data available at J and H. The magnitude distributions peak at r~22mag, K~6mag and extend down to r~26mag, K~21mag. The K-band magnitude distributions for the radio galaxies and quasars are compared with those of other radio surveys. At S_1.4GHz_<~1Jy, the K-band distribution does not change significantly with radio flux density. The sources span a broad range of colours, with several being extremely red (r-K>~6). Though small, this is the most optically complete sample of mJy radio sources available at 1.4GHz, and is ideally suited for studying the evolution of the radio luminosity function out to high redshifts.

- Description:
- We present the discovery and characterization of five hot and warm Jupiters TOI-628b (TIC281408474; HD288842), TOI-640b (TIC147977348), TOI-1333b (TIC395171208, BD+473521A), TOI-1478b (TIC409794137), and TOI-1601b (TIC139375960)-based on data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The five planets were identified from the full-frame images and were confirmed through a series of photometric and spectroscopic follow-up observations by the TESS Follow-up Observing Program Working Group. The planets are all Jovian size (R_P_=1.01-1.77R_J_) and have masses that range from 0.85 to 6.33M_J_. The host stars of these systems have F and G spectral types (5595<~Teff<~6460K) and are all relatively bright (9.5<V<10.8, 8.2<K<9.3), making them well suited for future detailed characterization efforts. Three of the systems in our sample (TOI-640b, TOI-1333b, and TOI-1601b) orbit subgiant host stars (logg<4.1). TOI-640b is one of only three known hot Jupiters to have a highly inflated radius (R_P_>1.7R_J_, possibly a result of its host star's evolution) and resides on an orbit with a period longer than 5days. TOI-628b is the most massive, hot Jupiter discovered to date by TESS with a measured mass of 6.31_-0.30_^+0.28^M_J_ and a statistically significant, nonzero orbital eccentricity of e=0.074_-0.022_^+0.021^. This planet would not have had enough time to circularize through tidal forces from our analysis, suggesting that it might be remnant eccentricity from its migration. The longest-period planet in this sample, TOI-1478b (P=10.18days), is a warm Jupiter in a circular orbit around a near-solar analog. NASA's TESS mission is continuing to increase the sample of well-characterized hot and warm Jupiters, complementing its primary mission goals.

- Description:
- We wish to map the magnetic field geometry and to study the dust properties of the starless cloud, L1570, using multiwavelength optical polarimetry and photometry of the stars projected on the cloud. We made R-band imaging polarimetry of the stars projected on a cloud, L1570, to trace the magnetic field orientation. We also made multi-wavelength polarimetric and photometric observations to constrain the properties of dust in L1570. We estimated a distance of 394+/-70pc to the cloud using 2MASS JHKs colours. Using the values of the Serkowskiparameters namely {sigma}_1_, {overline}{epsilon}, {lambda}_max_ and the position of the stars on near infrared color-color diagram, we identified 13 stars that could possibly have intrinsic polarization and/or rotation in their polarization angles. One star, 2MASS J06075075+1934177, which is a B4Ve spectral type, show the presence of diffuse interstellar bands in the spectrum apart from showing H_{alpha} line in emission. There is an indication for the presence of slightly bigger dust grains towards L1570 on the basis of the dust grain size-indicators such as {lambda}_max_ and R_V_ values. The magnetic field lines are found to be parallel to the cloud structures seen in the 250um images (also in 8um and 12um shadow images) of L1570. Based on the magnetic field geometry, the cloud structure and the complex velocity structure, we believe that L1570 is in the process of formation due to the converging flow material mediated by the magnetic field lines. Structure function analysis showed that in the L1570 cloud region the large scale magnetic fields are stronger when compared with the turbulent component of magnetic fields. The estimated magnetic field strengths suggest that the L1570 cloud region is sub-critical and hence could be strongly supported by the magnetic field lines.

- Description:
- The Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey (LEGUS) is a multiwavelength Cycle 21 Treasury program on the Hubble Space Telescope. It studied 50 nearby star-forming galaxies in 5 bands from the near-UV to the I-band, combining new Wide Field Camera 3 observations with archival Advanced Camera for Surveys data. LEGUS was designed to investigate how star formation occurs and develops on both small and large scales, and how it relates to the galactic environments. In this paper we present the photometric catalogs for all the apparently single stars identified in the 50 LEGUS galaxies. We present optical and near-UV color-magnitude diagrams for all the galaxies. For each galaxy we derived the distance from the tip of the red giant branch. We then used the NUV color-magnitude diagrams to identify stars more massive than 14M_{sun}_, and compared their number with the number of massive stars expected from the GALEX FUV luminosity. Our analysis shows that the fraction of massive stars forming in star clusters and stellar associations is about constant with the star formation rate. This lack of a relation suggests that the timescale for evaporation of unbound structures is comparable or longer than 10Myr. At low star formation rates this translates to an excess of mass in clustered environments as compared to model predictions of cluster evolution, suggesting that a significant fraction of stars form in unbound systems.

- Description:
- We present V and I photometry of a 9.4'x9.4' field centered on the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo I. The I magnitude of the tip of the Red Giant Branch is robustly estimated from two different datasets I^TRGB^=17.97 (^+0.05^_-0.03_). From this estimate, adopting [M/H]~-1.2 from the comparison of RGB stars with Galactic templates, we obtain a distance modulus (m-M)_0=22.02+/-0.13, corresponding to a distance D=254^+16^_-19_kpc.

- Description:
- Table 3 lists the final photometric data of our observations. The UBVRI observations were done with the 1.54m Danish telescope at ESO on October 3rd and 4th, 1992. The CCD was ESO#28, a TEK 1024x1024 with a pixel size of 24mue corresponding to 0.377" per pixel. The total field of view is 6.4'x6.4'. A standard reduction was done with MIDAS and IRAF, the photometry was performed with DAOPHOT within IRAF. The images of Oct 4th have been calibrated using the calibration field around PG 0231+051 (Landolt 1992, Cat. <II/183>). The images of Oct 3rd have then been adopted to the system of Oct 4th. The final Table 3 lists 4613 stars with V and B-V information. In addition U-B is available for 1159 of these stars, V-R for 3519 and V-I for 2854 stars. Table 4 gives those stars from our field of view which are present in the MACS (Magellanic Catalogue of Stars; Tucholke et al. 1996, Cat. <I/221>). The table contains the MACS Id., our x and y position and our UBV photometry, and right ascension and declination from the MACS. These stars may serve to calculate an exact position for every star from Table 3 or to define a coordinate grid for comparison with other observations, such as radio or X-ray data.

- Description:
- In Spring 2011, the Lick AGN Monitoring Project observed a sample of 15 bright, nearby Seyfert 1 galaxies in the V band as part of a reverberation mapping campaign. The observations were taken at six ground-based telescopes, including the West Mountain Observatory 0.91m telescope, the 0.76m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope, 0.6m Super-LOTIS (Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System) at Kitt Peak, the Palomar 60inch telescope, and the 2m Faulkes telescopes North and South. The V-band light curves measure the continuum variability of our sample of Seyferts on an almost daily cadence for 2-3 months. We use image-subtraction software to isolate the variability of the Seyfert nucleus from the constant V-band flux of the host galaxy for the most promising targets, and we adopt standard aperture photometry techniques for the targets with smaller levels of variability. These V-band light curves will be used, with measurements of the broad emission line flux, to measure supermassive black hole masses and to constrain the geometry and dynamics of the broad-line region through dynamical modeling techniques.
