Description:
The ellipsoid of stellar random motions is a fundamental ingredient of galaxy dynamics. Yet it has long been difficult to constrain this component in disks others than the Milky Way. This article presents the modeling of the azimuthal-to-radial axis ratio of the velocity ellipsoid of galactic disks from stellar dispersion maps using integral field spectroscopy data of the CALIFA survey. The measured azimuthal anisotropy is shown to be not strongly dependent on the assumed vertical-to-radial dispersion ratio of the ellipsoid. The anisotropy distribution shows a large diversity in the orbital structure of disk galaxies from tangential to radial stellar orbits. Globally, the orbits are isotropic in inner disk regions and become more radial as a function of radius, although this picture tends to depend on galaxy morphology and luminosity. The Milky Way orbital anisotropy profile measured from the Second Gaia Data Release is consistent with those of CALIFA galaxies. A new correlation is evidenced, linking the absolute magnitude or stellar mass of the disks to the azimuthal anisotropy. More luminous disks have more radial orbits and less luminous disks have isotropic and somewhat tangential orbits. This correlation is consistent with the picture in galaxy evolution in which orbits become more radial as the mass grows and is redistributed as a function of time. With the help of circular velocity curves, it is also shown that the epicycle theory fails to reproduce the diversity of the azimuthal anisotropy of stellar random motions, as it predicts only nearly radial orbits in the presence of flat curves. The origin of this conflict is yet to be identified. It also questions the validity of the vertical-to-radial axis ratio of the velocity ellipsoid derived by many studies in the framework of the epicyclic approximation.

Description:
We present an atlas of ultraviolet and infrared images of ~15750 local (d<~50Mpc) galaxies, as observed by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) missions. These maps have matched resolution (FWHM 7.5" and 15"), matched astrometry, and a common procedure for background removal. We demonstrate that they agree well with resolved intensity measurements and integrated photometry from previous surveys. This atlas represents the first part of a program (the z=0 Multiwavelength Galaxy Synthesis) to create a large, uniform database of resolved measurements of gas and dust in nearby galaxies. This atlas allows us estimate local and integrated star formation rates (SFRs) and stellar masses (M_*_) across the local galaxy population in a uniform way. In the appendix, we use the population synthesis fits of Salim+ (2016ApJS..227....2S and 2018ApJ...859...11S) to calibrate integrated M_*_ and SFR estimators based on GALEX and WISE. Because they leverage a Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)-based training set of >100000 galaxies, these calibrations have high precision and allow us to rigorously compare local galaxies to SDSS results. We provide these SFR and M_*_ estimates for all galaxies in our sample and show that our results yield a "main sequence" of star-forming galaxies comparable to previous work. We also show the distribution of intensities from resolved galaxies in NUV-to-WISE1 versus WISE1-to-WISE3 space, which captures much of the key physics accessed by these bands.

AzTEC/ASTE 1.1mm observations in the ADF-S

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present results of a 1.1-mm deep survey of the AKARI Deep Field South (ADF-S) with AzTEC mounted on the Atacama Submillimetre Telescope Experiment (ASTE). We obtained a map of 0.25-deg^2^ area with an rms noise level of 0.32-0.71mJy. This is one of the deepest and widest maps thus far at millimetre and submillimetre wavelengths. We uncovered 198 sources with a significance of 3.5{sigma}-15.6{sigma}, providing the largest catalogue of 1.1-mm sources in a contiguous region. Most of the sources are not detected in the far-infrared bands of the AKARI satellite, suggesting that they are mostly at z>=1.5 given the detection limits. We constructed differential and cumulative number counts in the ADF-S, the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field and the SSA 22 field surveyed by AzTEC/ASTE, which provide currently the tightest constraints on the faint end.

AzTEC/ASTE 1.1mm survey of SSA22

Description:
We present the results from a 1.1-mm imaging survey of the SSA22 field, known for having an overdensity of z=3.1 Lyman{alpha} emitting galaxies (LAEs), taken with the astronomical thermal emission camera (AzTEC) on the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment (ASTE). We imaged a 950-arcmin2 field down to a 1{sigma} sensitivity of 0.7-1.3mJy/beam to find 125 submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) with a signal-to-noise ratio >=3.5. Counterpart identification using radio and near/mid-infrared data was performed and one or more counterpart candidates were found for 59 SMGs. Photometric redshifts based on optical to near-infrared images were evaluated for 45 of these SMGs with Spitzer/IRAC data and the median value is found to be z=2.4. By combining these estimations with estimates from the literature, we determined that 10 SMGs might lie within the large-scale structure at z=3.1. The two-point angular cross-correlation function between LAEs and SMGs indicates that the positions of the SMGs are correlated with the z=3.1 protocluster. These results suggest that the SMGs were formed and evolved selectively in the high dense environment of the high-redshift Universe. This picture is consistent with the predictions of the standard model of hierarchical structure formation.

Description:
We present a 0.72deg^2^ contiguous 1.1-mm survey in the central area of the Cosmological Evolution Survey field carried out to a 1{sigma}~1.26mJy/beam depth with the AzTEC camera mounted on the 10-m Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment. We have uncovered 189 candidate sources at a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N)>=3.5, out of which 129, with S/N>=4, can be considered to have little chance of being spurious (<~2 per cent). We present the number counts derived with this survey, which show a significant excess of sources when compared to the number counts derived from the ~0.5deg^2^ area sampled at similar depths in the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES).
1286. AzTEC/ASTE survey at 1.1mm toward the SMC

AzTEC/ASTE survey at 1.1mm toward the SMC
Short Name:
J/ApJ/835/55

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The first 1.1mm continuum survey toward the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) was performed using the AzTEC instrument installed on the ASTE 10m telescope. This survey covered 4.5deg^2^ of the SMC with 1{sigma} noise levels of 5-12mJy/beam, and 44 extended objects were identified. The 1.1mm extended emission has good spatial correlation with Herschel 160{mu}m, indicating that the origin of the 1.1mm extended emission is thermal emission from a cold dust component. We estimated physical properties using the 1.1mm and filtered Herschel data (100, 160, 250, 350, and 500{mu}m). The 1.1mm objects show dust temperatures of 17-45K and gas masses of 4x10^3^-3x10^5^M_{sun}_, assuming single-temperature thermal emission from the cold dust with an emissivity index, {beta}, of 1.2 and a gas-to-dust ratio of 1000. These physical properties are very similar to those of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in our galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud. The 1.1mm objects also displayed good spatial correlation with the Spitzer 24{mu}m and CO emission, suggesting that the 1.1mm objects trace the dense gas regions as sites of massive star formation. The dust temperature of the 1.1mm objects also demonstrated good correlation with the 24{mu}m flux connected to massive star formation. This supports the hypothesis that the heating source of the cold dust is mainly local star-formation activity in the 1.1mm objects. The classification of the 1.1mm objects based on the existence of star-formation activity reveals the differences in the dust temperature, gas mass, and radius, which reflects the evolution sequence of GMCs.

Description:
Instruments using arrays of many bolometers have become increasingly common in the past decade. The maps produced by such instruments typically include the filtering effects of the instrument as well as those from subsequent steps performed in the reduction of the data. Therefore interpretation of the maps is dependent upon accurately calculating the transfer function of the chosen reduction technique on the signal of interest. Many of these instruments use non-linear and iterative techniques to reduce their data because such methods can offer an improved signal-to-noise ratio over those that are purely linear, particularly for signals at scales comparable to that subtended by the array. We discuss a general approach for measuring the transfer function of principal component analysis on point sources that are small compared to the spatial extent seen by any single bolometer within the array. The results are applied to previously released AzTEC catalogues of the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS), Lockman Hole, Subaru XMM-Newton Deep Field, Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS)-North and GOODS-South fields. Source flux density and noise estimates increase by roughly +10 per cent for fields observed while AzTEC was installed at the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment and +15-25 per cent while AzTEC was installed at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. Detection significance is, on average, unaffected by the revised technique. The revised photometry technique will be used in subsequent AzTEC releases.

Description:
We present a 1.1mm wavelength imaging survey covering 0.3deg^2^ in the COSMOS field. These data, obtained with the AzTEC continuum camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, were centred on a prominent large-scale structure overdensity which includes a rich X-ray cluster at z>>0.73. A total of 50mm-galaxy candidates, with a significance ranging from 3.5 to 8.5sigma, are extracted from the central 0.15deg^2^ area which has a uniform sensitivity of 1.3mJy/beam. 16 sources are detected with S/N>=4.5, where the expected false-detection rate is zero, of which a surprisingly large number (9) have intrinsic (deboosted) fluxes >=5mJy at 1.1mm.

Description:
We present the first results from the largest deep extragalactic mm-wavelength survey undertaken to date. These results are derived from maps covering over 0.7deg^2^, made at {lambda}=1.1mm, using the AzTEC continuum camera mounted on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. The maps were made in the two fields originally targeted at {lambda}=850um with the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) in the SCUBA Half-Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) project, namely the Lockman Hole East (mapped to a depth of 0.9-1.3mJy rms) and the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field (mapped to a depth of 1.0-1.7mJy rms). The wealth of existing and forthcoming deep multifrequency data in these two fields will allow the bright mm source population revealed by these new wide-area 1.1mm images to be explored in detail in subsequent papers. Here, we present the maps themselves, a catalogue of 114 high-significance submillimetre galaxy detections, and a thorough statistical analysis leading to the most robust determination to date of the 1.1mm source number counts. These new maps, covering an area nearly three times greater than the SCUBA SHADES maps, currently provide the largest sample of cosmological volumes of the high-redshift Universe in the mm or sub-mm. Through careful comparison, we find that both the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) and the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) North fields, also imaged with AzTEC, contain an excess of mm sources over the new 1.1mm source-count baseline established here.

Description:
The Astronomical Thermal Emission Camera (AzTEC) 1.1mm survey of the two SCUBA HAlf Degree Extragalactic Survey (SHADES) fields is the largest (0.7deg^2^) blank-field millimetre-wavelength (mm-wavelength) survey undertaken to date at a resolution of 18arcsec and a depth of 1mJy. We have used the deep optical to radio multiwavelength data in the SHADES Lockman Hole East and SXDF/UDS fields to obtain galaxy identifications for 64 per cent (80 per cent including tentative identifications) of the 148 AzTEC-SHADES 1.1mm sources reported by Austermann et al., exploiting deep radio and 24um data complemented by methods based on 8um flux density and red optical-infrared (i-K) colour.
