- Description:
- Establishing a correlation (or lack thereof) between the bimodal color distribution of galaxies and their structural parameters is crucial to understand the origin of bimodality. To achieve that, we have performed a 2D mass-based structural decomposition (bulge+disk) of all disk galaxies (total=1263) in the Herschel imaging area of the Stripe 82 region using Ks-band images from the VICS82 survey. The scaling relations thus derived are found to reflect the internal kinematics and are employed in combination to select an indubitable set of classical- and pseudo-bulge-hosting disk galaxies. The rest of the galaxies (<20%) are marked as disks with "ambiguous" bulges. Pseudo- and classical bulge-disk galaxies exhibit clear bimodality in terms of all stellar parameters (M*, specific star formation rate, r-Ks). All pseudo- bulge-disk galaxies are blue and star forming, and all classical bulge-disk galaxies are red and quiescent with less than 5% digressions. Ambiguous bulge- disk galaxies are intermediate to pseudo- and classical bulge-disk galaxies in the distribution of all structural and stellar parameters. {Delta}<{mu}_eb_>-based on the placement of bulges on the Kormendy relation-is found to be the most efficient single structural indicator of both bulge type and stellar activity. The placement of ambiguous bulge-disk galaxies on scaling relations and the fundamental plane, in addition to their peculiar stellar properties, suggests that they are dominantly part of the green valley.

- Structure of Herbig AeBe disks at mas scale

- Description:
- The aims of this article are to infer the radial and vertical structure at ~au scale of these disks, and the properties of the dust grains: composition and characteristic size. We find that dust at the inner rim of the disk has a sublimation temperature Tsub~1800K. A ring structure is confirmed for approximately half the resolved objects; these rings are wide {delta}r/r>=0.5. Such wide rings exclude an inner rim shaped as a vertical wall, or with a rounded shape, and seem to favor an inner rim with a wedge-like cross-section. The inner disk has a thickness z/r~0.2, flaring to z/r~0.5 in the outer part. We confirm the known luminosity-radius relation; a simple physical model is consistent with both the mean luminosity-radius relation and the ring relative width; however, a significant spread around the mean relation is present. We find in some of the objects a halo component, fully resolved at the shortest interferometer spacing, that is related to the HAeBe class.

- Description:
- We present results of an analysis of the J, H, and Ks Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) images of 139 spiral edge-on galaxies selected from the Revised Flat Galaxies Catalog. The basic structural parameters scale length (h), scale height (z_0_), and central surface brightness of the stellar disks ({mu}_0_) are determined for all selected galaxies in the near-infrared (NIR) bands. The mean relative ratios of the scale heights of the thin stellar disks in the J:H:Ks bands are 1.16:1.08:1.00, respectively. Comparing the scale heights obtained from the NIR bands for the same objects, we estimate the scale heights of the thin stellar disks corrected for the internal extinction. We find that the extinction-corrected scale height is, on average, 11% smaller than that in the K band. Using the extinction-corrected structural parameters, we find that the dark-to-luminous mass ratio is, on average, 1.3 for the galaxies in our sample within the framework of a simplified galactic model. The relative thicknesses of the stellar disks z_0_/h correlates with their face-on central surface brightnesses obtained from the 2MASS images. We also find that the scale height of the stellar disks shows no systematic growth with radius in most of our galaxies.

- Description:
- Using new proper motion data from recently published catalogs, we revisit the membership of previously identified members of the Upper Scorpius association. We confirmed 750 of them as cluster members based on the convergent point method, compute their kinematic parallaxes and combined them with Gaia parallaxes to investigate the 3D structure and geometry of the association using a robust covariance method. We find a mean distance of 146+/-3+/-6pc and show that the morphology of the association defined by the brightest (and most massive) stars yields a prolate ellipsoid with dimensions of 74x38x32pc^3^, while the faintest cluster members define a more elongated structure with dimensions of 98x24x18pc^3^. We suggest that the different properties of both populations is an imprint of the star formation history in this region.

- Description:
- We investigate the intrinsic stellar populations (estimated total numbers of OB and pre-main-sequence stars down to 0.1M_{sun}_) that are present in 17 massive star-forming regions (MSFRs) surveyed by the MYStIX project. The study is based on the catalog of >31000 MYStIX Probable Complex Members with both disk-bearing and disk-free populations, compensating for extinction, nebulosity, and crowding effects. Correction for observational sensitivities is made using the X-ray luminosity function and the near-infrared initial mass function --a correction that is often not made by infrared surveys of young stars. The resulting maps of the projected structure of the young stellar populations, in units of intrinsic stellar surface density, allow direct comparison between different regions. Several regions have multiple dense clumps, similar in size and density to the Orion Nebula Cluster. The highest projected density of ~34000 stars/pc2 is found in the core of the RCW 38 cluster. Histograms of surface density show different ranges of values in different regions, supporting the conclusion of Bressert et al. (B10; 2010MNRAS.409L..54B) that no universal surface-density threshold can distinguish between clustered and distributed star formation. However, a large component of the young stellar population of MSFRs resides in dense environments of 200-10000 stars/pc2 (including within the nearby Orion molecular clouds), and we find that there is no evidence for the B10 conclusion that such dense regions form an extreme "tail" of the distribution. Tables of intrinsic populations for these regions are used in our companion study of young cluster properties and evolution.

- Description:
- This catalog contains observed and derived structure parameters for 154 galactic globular clusters, 7 dwarf spheroidal satellites of the Galaxy, and 6 globular clusters in the Fornax dwarf spheroids, respectively, in six different files. Files 1-3 (table1a, table1b, & table1c) list observed parameters, including cluster designation in order of right ascension, equatorial coordinates (B1950), apparent level of the cluster horizontal branch, reddening, subgiant branch color, limiting and core angular radii, ellipticities (only for table1b), integrated magnitude and central surface brightness. Files 4-6 (table2a, table2b, & table2c) contain positional and structural data derived from the observational data of table1. These include, for instance, galactic and galactocentric or Cartesian coordinates, heliocentric and galactocentric distances, or angular and projected linear distances, position angle, metallicity, limiting and core radii, central relaxation time scale, central mass density, central velocity dispersion, and central escape velocity. The references (all columns which label start by r_) are not available in electronic form.

- Description:
- We present a comprehensive structure detection analysis of the 0.3deg^2^ area of the MUSYC-ACES field, which covers the Chandra Deep Field-South (CDFS). Using a density-based clustering algorithm on the MUSYC and ACES photometric and spectroscopic catalogs, we find 62 overdense regions up to redshifts of 1, including clusters, groups, and filaments. We also present the detection of a relatively small void of ~10Mpc^2^ at z~0.53. All structures are confirmed using the DBSCAN method, including the detection of nine structures previously reported in the literature. We present a catalog of all structures present, including their central position, mean redshift, velocity dispersions, and classification based on their morphological and spectroscopic distributions. In particular, we find 13 galaxy clusters and 6 large groups/small clusters. Comparison of these massive structures with published XMM-Newton imaging (where available) shows that 80% of these structures are associated with diffuse, soft-band (0.4-1keV) X-ray emission, including 90% of all objects classified as clusters. The presence of soft-band X-ray emission in these massive structures (M_200_{>=}4.9x10^13^M_{sun}_) provides a strong independent confirmation of our methodology and classification scheme. In the closest two clusters identified (z<0.13) high-quality optical ur photometric sample contains 5522 galaxies imaging from the Deep2c field of the Garching-Bonn Deep Survey reveals the cD galaxies and demonstrates that they sit at the center of the detected X-ray emission. Nearly 60% of the clusters, groups, and filaments are detected in the known enhanced density regions of the CDFS at z=~0.13, 0.52, 0.68, and 0.73. Additionally, all of the clusters, bar the most distant, are found in these overdense redshift regions. Many of the clusters and groups exhibit signs of ongoing formation seen in their velocity distributions, position within the detected cosmic web, and in one case through the presence of tidally disrupted central galaxies exhibiting trails of stars. These results all provide strong support for hierarchical structure formation up to redshifts of 1.

- Description:
- To further our understanding of the Great Attractor (GA), we have undertaken a redshift survey using the 2dF on the AAT. Clusters and filaments in the GA region were targeted with 25 separate pointings resulting in approximately 2600 new redshifts. Targets included poorly studied X-ray clusters from the CIZA catalogue as well as the Cen-Crux and PKS 1343-601 clusters, both of which lie close to the classic GA centre. For nine clusters in the region, we report velocity distributions as well as virial and projected mass estimates. The virial mass of CIZA J1324.75736, now identified as a separate structure from the Cen-Crux cluster, is found to be ~3x10^14^M_{sun}_ in good agreement with the X-ray inferred mass. In the PKS 1343-601 field, five redshifts are measured of which four are new. An analysis of redshifts from this survey, in combination with those from the literature, reveals the dominant structure in the GA region to be a large filament, which appears to extend from Abell S0639 (l=281{deg}, b=+11{deg}) to (l~5{deg}, b~-50{deg}), encompassing the Cen-Crux, CIZA J1324.75736, Norma and Pavo II clusters. Behind the Norma Cluster at cz~15000km/s, the masses of four rich clusters are calculated. These clusters (Triangulum-Australis, Ara, CIZA J1514.64558 and CIZA J1410.44246) may contribute to a continued large- scale flow beyond the GA. The results of these observations will be incorporated into a subsequent analysis of the GA flow.

- Description:
- We present an analysis of 3.5deg^2^ of submillimeter continuum and extinction data of the Perseus molecular cloud. We identify 58 clumps in the submillimeter map, and we identify 39 structures (cores) and 11 associations of structures (super cores) in the extinction map. The cumulative mass distributions of the submillimeter clumps and extinction cores have steep slopes (alpha~2 and 1.5-2, respectively), steeper than the Salpeter initial mass function (IMF; alpha=1.35), while the distribution of extinction super cores has a shallow slope (alpha~1). Most of the submillimeter clumps are well fit by stable Bonnor-Ebert spheres with 10K<T<19K and 5.5<log_10_(Pext/k)<0.6. The clumps are found only in the highest column density regions (AV>5-7mag), although Bonnor-Ebert models suggest that we should have been able to detect them at lower column densities if they exist.
