Description:
We present the results of a program to study the detailed morphologies of galaxies in intermediate-redshift clusters and hence understand the physical origin of the enhanced star formation seen in the environments at earlier epochs. Deep, high-resolution imagery has been obtained of three rich clusters, AC 103, AC 118 and AC 114 at z=0.31, through the R (F702W) filter of the Wide Field Planetary Camera (WFPC2) of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

Description:
We study the spatially resolved physical properties of the Cosmic Snake arc in MACS J1206.2-0847 and the arc in Abell 0521 (A521). These are two strongly lensed galaxies at redshifts z=1.036 and z=1.044. We used observations of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The former gives access to the star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass (M*), and the latter to the H_2_ molecular gas mass (Mmol). HST and ALMA observations have similar angular resolutions of 0.15"-0.2", which with the help of strong gravitational lensing enable us to reach spatial resolutions down to ~30pc and ~100pc in these two galaxies, respectively. These resolutions are close to the resolution of observations of nearby galaxies. We study the radial profiles of SFR, M*, and Mmol surface densities of these high-redshift galaxies and compare the corresponding exponential scale lengths with those of local galaxies. We find that the scale lengths in the Cosmic Snake are about 0.5kpc-1.5kpc, and they are 3 to 10 times larger in A521. This is a significant difference knowing that the two galaxies have comparable integrated properties. These high-redshift scale lengths are nevertheless comparable to those of local galaxies, which cover a wide distribution. The particularity of our high-redshift radial profiles is the normalisation of the Mmol surface density profiles (Sigma Mmol), which are offset by up to a factor of 20 with respect to the profiles of z=0 counterparts. The SFR surface density profiles are also offset by the same factor as {SIGMA}Mmol, as expected from the Kennicutt-Schmidt law.

15273{AA} near-infrared DIB

Description:
The latest SDSS/APOGEE data release DR14 has provided an increased number of stellar spectra in the H band and associated stellar models using an innovative algorithm known as The Cannon. We took advantage of these novelties to extract the 15273{AA} near-infrared DIB and to study its link with dust extinction and emission. We modified our automated fitting methods dedicated for hot stars and used in earlier studies with some adaptations motivated by the change from early- or intermediate-type stars to red giants. A new method has also been developed to quantify the upper limits on DIB strengths. Careful and thorough examinations of the DIB parameters, the continuum shape and the quality of the adjustment of the model to the data were done. We compared our DIB measurements with the stellar extinctions Av from the Starhorse database. We then compared the resulting DIB-extinction ratio with the dust optical depth derived from Planck data, globally and also separately for nearby off-Plane cloud complexes. Our analysis has led to the production of a catalog containing 124 064 new measurements of the 15273{AA} DIB, allowing us to revisit the correlation between DIB strength and dust reddening.

Title:
A3407 + A3408 radial velocities
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/460/2193
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We carried out a dynamical study of the galaxy cluster pair A3407 and A3408 based on a spectroscopic survey obtained with the 4 metre Blanco telescope at the Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory, plus 6dF data, and ROSAT All-Sky Survey. The sample consists of 122 member galaxies brighter than m_R_=20. Our main goal is to probe the galaxy dynamics in this field and verify if the sample constitutes a single galaxy system or corresponds to an ongoing merging process. Statistical tests were applied to clusters members showing that both the composite system A3407 + A3408 as well as each individual cluster have Gaussian velocity distribution. A velocity gradient of ~847+/-114km/s was identified around the principal axis of the projected distribution of galaxies, indicating that the global field may be rotating. Applying the kmm algorithm to the distribution of galaxies, we found that the solution with two clusters is better than the single unit solution at the 99 per cent cl. This is consistent with the X-ray distribution around this field, which shows no common X-ray halo involving A3407 and A3408. We also estimated virial masses and applied a two-body model to probe the dynamics of the pair. The more likely scenario is that in which the pair is gravitationally bound and probably experiences a collapse phase, with the cluster cores crossing in less than ~1h^-1^Gyr, a pre-merger scenario. The complex X-ray morphology, the gas temperature, and some signs of galaxy evolution in A3408 suggest a post-merger scenario, with cores having crossed each other ~1.65h^-1^Gyr ago, as an alternative solution.

3060-3700{AA} spectra analysis of early-type stars
Short Name:

Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a comprehensive and sensitive unbiased survey of interstellar features in the near-UV range (3050-3700{AA}). We combined a large number of VLT/UVES archival observations of a sample of highly reddened early-type stars -typical diffuse interstellar band targets- and unreddened standards. We stacked the individual observations to obtain a reddened "superspectrum" in the interstellar rest frame with a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 1500. We compared this to the analogous geocentric and stellar rest frame superspectra as well as to an unreddened superspectrum to find interstellar absorption features. We find 30 known features (11 atomic and 19 molecular) and tentatively detect up to 7 new interstellar absorption lines of unknown origin. Our survey is sensitive to narrow and weak features; telluric residuals preclude us from detecting broader features. For each sightline, we measured fundamental parameters (radial velocities, line widths, and equivalent widths) of the detected interstellar features. We also revisit upper limits for the column densities of small, neutral polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules that have strong transitions in this wavelength range.

Title:
3000-25000{AA} spectroscopy of nearby M dwarfs
Short Name:
J/ApJ/850/34
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Recent studies of the stellar population in the solar neighborhood (<20pc) suggest that there are undetected white dwarfs (WDs) in multiple systems with main-sequence companions. Detecting these hidden stars and obtaining a more complete census of nearby WDs is important for our understanding of stellar and galactic evolution, as well as the study of explosive phenomena. In an attempt to uncover these hidden WDs, we present intermediate resolution spectroscopy over the wavelength range of 3000-25000{AA} of 101 nearby M dwarfs (dMs), observed with the Very Large Telescope X-Shooter spectrograph. For each star we search for a hot component superimposed on the dM spectrum. X-Shooter has excellent blue sensitivity and thus can reveal a faint hot WD despite the brightness of its red companion. Visual examination shows no clear evidence of a WD in any of the spectra. We place upper limits on the effective temperatures of WDs that may still be hiding by fitting dM templates to the spectra and modeling the WD spectra. On average our survey is sensitive to WDs hotter than about 5300K. This suggests that the frequency of WD companions of Teff>~5300K with separation of the order of <~50 au among the local dM population is <3% at the 95% confidence level.

Description:
This database table contains Galactic stars known or suspected to be variable. It lists all stars that have an entry in the American Association of Variable Star Observers&#39; (AAVSO) International Variable Star Index (VSX; &lt;a href="http://www.aavso.org/vsx"&gt;http://www.aavso.org/vsx&lt;/a&gt;). It consisted initially of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) and the New Catalogue of Suspected Variables (NSV) and was then supplemented with a large number of variable star catalogues, as well as individual variable star discoveries or variables found in the literature. Effort has also been invested to update the entries with the latest information regarding position, type and period and to remove duplicates. The VSX database is being continually updated and maintained. For historical reasons some objects outside of the Galaxy have been included. This table was created by the HEASARC based on the &lt;a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/B/vsx"&gt;CDS catalog B/vsx&lt;/a&gt;. The CDS updates it regularly, and this HEASARC version is accordingly updated within a week of such updates. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
