Title:
BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey. XX. Molecular gas
Short Name:

Description:
We present the host-galaxy molecular gas properties of a sample of 213 nearby (0.01<z<0.05) hard-X-ray-selected active galactic nucleus (AGN) galaxies, drawn from the 70-month catalog of Swift's Burst Alert Telescope (BAT), with 200 new CO(2-1) line measurements obtained with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope and the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment telescope. We find that AGN in massive galaxies (log(M_*_/M_{sun}_)>10.5) tend to have more molecular gas and higher gas fractions than inactive galaxies matched in stellar mass. When matched in star formation, we find AGN galaxies show no difference from inactive galaxies, with no evidence that AGN feedback affects the molecular gas. The higher molecular gas content is related to AGN galaxies hosting a population of gas-rich early types with an order of magnitude more molecular gas and a smaller fraction of quenched, passive galaxies (~5% versus 49%) compared to inactive galaxies. The likelihood of a given galaxy hosting an AGN (L_bol_>10^44^erg/s) increases by ~10-100 between a molecular gas mass of 10^8.7^M_{sun}_ and 10^10.2^M_{sun}_. AGN galaxies with a higher Eddington ratio (log(L/L_Edd_)>-1.3) tend to have higher molecular gas masses and gas fractions. The log(NH/cm^-2^)>23.4) of AGN galaxies with higher column densities are associated with lower depletion timescales and may prefer hosts with more gas centrally concentrated in the bulge that may be more prone to quenching than galaxy-wide molecular gas. The significant average link of host-galaxy molecular gas supply to supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth may naturally lead to the general correlations found between SMBHs and their host galaxies, such as the correlations between SMBH mass and bulge properties, and the redshift evolution of star formation and SMBH growth.
1332. BATC and SDSS photometry of A2589 cluster

Title:
BATC and SDSS photometry of A2589 cluster
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Smooth X-ray morphology and non-detection of a radio source at the center of A2589 indicate that it is a typical case of a well-relaxed regular galaxy cluster. In this paper, we present a multicolor photometry for A2589 (z=0.0414) with 15 intermediate bands in the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) system which covers an optical wavelength range from 3000{AA} to 10000{AA}. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for more than 5000 sources are achieved down to V~20mag in about a 1{deg}^2^ field. A2589 has also been covered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in photometric mode only. A cross-identification of the BATC-detected galaxies with the SDSS photometric catalog yields 1199 galaxies brighter than i=19.5mag, among which 68 member galaxies with known spectroscopic redshifts are found. After combining the SDSS five-band photometric data and the BATC SEDs, photometric redshift is applied to these galaxies to select faint member galaxies. The color-magnitude relation is taken as a further restriction of early-type cluster galaxies. As a result, 106 galaxies are newly selected as member galaxies.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The authors present nine color CCD intermediate-band spectrophotometry of a two square degree field centered on the old open cluster M67, from 3890 Angstroms to nearly 1 micron. These observations are taken as a part of the BATC (Beijing-Arizona-Taipei-Connecticut) Color Survey of the Sky, for both scientific and calibration reasons. The BATC program uses a dedicated 60/90 cm Schmidt telecope with a 2048 x 2048 CCD and 15 specially-designed intermediate-band filters to be applied to both galactic and extragalactic studies. Nine-band spectrophotometry of 6558 stars is presented.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Multi-color photometry data of the project, "Large Field Multi-Color Sky Survey" supported by Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) is presented. From 1995 to 2004, 110 58'x58' sky survey fields have been observed. First release of BATC catalog includes observation results for 511842 sources located in 70 sky survey fields. The whole release is divided into 70 files. Each file corresponds to one observation field. The BATC filter system includes 15 intermediate band filters, covering a range in optical wavelengths from 300 to 1000 nm. The telescope used is a 60/90 cm f/3 Schmidt telescope located at Xinglong Station of National Astronomical Observatories. A Ford Aerospace 2048x2048 CCD camera with 15 micron pixel size is mounted at the Schmidt focus of the telescope. The field of view of the CCD is 58'x58' with a plate scale of 1.7arcsec per pixel. The BATC magnitude system adopts the AB magnitude system, defining as M_batc_ = -2.5log(F_{nu}_) - 48.60 where F_{nu}_ is the flux per unit frequency in units of erg/s/cm^2^/Hz, and F_{nu}_={Sum}[d(log{nu})*f_{nu}_*R_{nu}_]/{Sum}[d(log{nu})*R_{nu}_] where R_{nu}_ represents the response of the system. Four Oke & Gunn (1983ApJ...266..713O) standards, HD 19445, HD 84937, BD+26 2606 and BD+17 4708 are observed in photometric nights for flux calibration. We provide catalogues down to i-band (666nm) about 20 mag with complete spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for each object. Typical error in photometry is about 0.02-0.05 mag. There is usually the deepest observation at i-band. Most of the catalogs use i-band data as their reference for coordinate calibration. While, "T0329","TA01" and "TA03" use j-band as reference. All colors in the "TA04" catalog have no photo calibration. For detailed information of the data reduction, please refer to: Zhou, X., Jiang, Z., Ma, J., et al. 2003, 2003A&A...397..361Z

Description:
An optical photometric observation with the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) multicolor system is carried out for A98 (z=0.104), a galaxy cluster with two large enhancements in X-ray surface brightness. Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) covering 15 intermediate bands are obtained for all sources detected down to V~20mag in a field of 58'x58'. After star-galaxy separation with color-color diagrams, a photometric redshift technique is applied to the galaxy sample for further membership determination. The color-magnitude relation is taken as a further restriction of the early-type cluster galaxies. As a result, a list of 198 faint member galaxies is achieved. Based

Description:
We present photometric data of the Type II-P supernova (SN) 2004dj in NGC 2403. The multicolor light curves cover the SN from 60 to 200 days after explosion and are measured with a set of intermediate-band filters that have the advantage of tracing the strength variations of some spectral features.
1337. BATC photometry on A119

Title:
BATC photometry on A119
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This paper presents multicolor optical photometry of the nearby galaxy cluster Abell 119 (z=0.0442) with the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut system of 15 intermediate bands. Within the BATC field of view of 58'x58', there are 368 galaxies with known spectroscopic redshifts, including 238 member galaxies (called sample I). Based on the spectral energy distributions of 1376 galaxies brighter than i_BATC_=19.5, the photometric redshift technique and the color-magnitude relation of early-type galaxies are applied to select faint member galaxies. As a result, 117 faint galaxies were selected as new member galaxies. Combined with sample I, an enlarged sample (called sample II) of 355 member galaxies is obtained. Spatial distribution and localized velocity structure for two samples demonstrate that A119 is a dynamically complex cluster with at least three prominent substructures in the central region within 1Mpc. A large velocity dispersion for the central clump indicates a merging along the line of sight. No significant evidence for morphology or luminosity segregations is found in either sample. With the PEGASE evolutionary synthesis model, the environmental effect on the properties of star formation is confirmed. Faint galaxies in the low-density region tend to have longer time scales of star formation, smaller mean stellar ages, and lower metallicities in their interstellar medium, which is in agreement with the context of the hierarchical cosmological scenario.

Title:
BATSE earth occultation deep sample results

Description:
The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE), aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO), provided a record of the low-energy gamma-ray sky (~20-1000keV) between 1991 April and 2000 May (9.1yr). We performed a deep-sampling of 58 objects, plus a selection of 121 more objects, combining data from the entire 9.1yr BATSE data set. Source types considered were primarily accreting binaries, but a small number of representative active galaxies, X-ray-emitting stars, and supernova remnants were also included. The sample represents a compilation of sources monitored and/or discovered with BATSE and other high-energy instruments between 1991 and 2000, known sources taken from the HEAO 1 A-4 (1984ApJS...54..581L) and Macomb & Gehrels (1999ApJS..120..335M, Cat. <J/ApJS/120/335>) catalogs. Flux data for the deep sample are presented in four energy bands: 2040, 4070, 70160, and 160430keV. The limiting average flux level (9.1yr) for the sample varies from 3.5 to 20mcrab (5{sigma}) between 20 and 430keV, depending on systematic error, which in turn is primarily dependent on the sky location.
1339. BATSE GRB pulse catalog - preliminary data

Title:
BATSE GRB pulse catalog - preliminary data
Short Name:
J/ApJ/740/104
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We demonstrate that distinguishable gamma-ray burst (GRB) pulses exhibit similar behaviors as evidenced by correlations among the observable pulse properties of duration, peak luminosity, fluence, spectral hardness, energy-dependent lag, and asymmetry. Long and Short burst pulses exhibit these behaviors, suggesting that a similar process is responsible for producing all GRB pulses. That these properties correlate in the observer's frame indicates that intrinsic correlations are strong enough to not be diluted into insignificance by the dispersion in distances and redshift. We show how all correlated pulse characteristics can be explained by hard-to-soft pulse evolution, and we demonstrate that "intensity tracking" pulses not having these properties are not single pulses; they instead appear to be composed of two or more overlapping hard-to-soft pulses. In order to better understand pulse characteristics, we recognize that hard-to-soft evolution provides a more accurate definition of a pulse than its intensity variation. This realization, coupled with the observation that pulses begin near-simultaneously across a wide range of energies, leads us to conclude that the observed pulse emission represents the energy decay resulting from an initial injection, and that one simple and as yet unspecified physical mechanism is likely to be responsible for all GRB pulses regardless of the environment in which they form and, if GRBs originate from different progenitors, then of the progenitors that supply them with energy.
1340. BATSE TTE GRB pulse catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/855/101
Title:
BATSE TTE GRB pulse catalog
Short Name:
J/ApJ/855/101
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We analyze pulse properties of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) from a new catalog containing 434 pulses from 387 BATSE time-tagged event (TTE) GRBs. Short GRB pulses exhibit correlated properties of duration, fluence, hardness, and amplitude, and they evolve hard to soft while undergoing similar triple- peaked light curves similar to those found in long/intermediate bursts. We classify pulse light curves using their temporal complexities, demonstrating that short GRB pulses exhibit a range of complexities from smooth to highly variable. Most of the bright, hard, chaotic emission seen in complex pulses seems to represent a separate highly variable emission component. Unlike long/intermediate bursts, as many as 90% of short GRBs are single-pulsed. However, emission in short multipulsed bursts is coupled such that the first pulse's duration is a predictor of both the interpulse separation and subsequent pulse durations. These results strongly support the idea that external shocks produce the prompt emission seen in short GRBs. The similarities between the triple-peaked structures and spectral evolution of long, short, and intermediate GRBs then suggests that external shocks are responsible for the prompt emission observed in all GRB classes. In addition to these findings, we identify a new type of gamma-ray transient in which peak amplitudes occur at the end of the burst rather than at earlier times. Some of these "crescendo" bursts are preceded by rapid-fire "staccato" pulses, whereas the remaining are preceded by a variable episode that could be unresolved staccato pulses.
