15001. Sunyaev-Zel'dovich galaxy clusters surveyed by ACT
ID:

Title:
Sunyaev-Zel'dovich galaxy clusters surveyed by ACT
Short Name:
J/ApJS/253/3
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalog of 4195 optically confirmed Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) selected galaxy clusters detected with signal-to-noise ratio >4 in 13211deg^2^ of sky surveyed by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). Cluster candidates were selected by applying a multifrequency matched filter to 98 and 150GHz maps constructed from ACT observations obtained from 2008 to 2018 and confirmed using deep, wide-area optical surveys. The clusters span the redshift range 0.04<z<1.91 (median z=0.52). The catalog contains 222 z>1 clusters, and a total of 868 systems are new discoveries. Assuming an SZ signal versus mass-scaling relation calibrated from X-ray observations, the sample has a 90% completeness mass limit of M_500c_>3.8x10^14^M_{sun}_, evaluated at z=0.5, for clusters detected at signal-to-noise ratio >5 in maps filtered at an angular scale of 2.4'. The survey has a large overlap with deep optical weak-lensing surveys that are being used to calibrate the SZ signal mass-scaling relation, such as the Dark Energy Survey (4566deg^2^), the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (469deg^2^), and the Kilo Degree Survey (825deg^2^). We highlight some noteworthy objects in the sample, including potentially projected systems, clusters with strong lensing features, clusters with active central galaxies or star formation, and systems of multiple clusters that may be physically associated. The cluster catalog will be a useful resource for future cosmological analyses and studying the evolution of the intracluster medium and galaxies in massive clusters over the past 10Gyr.

SuperBoRG: search HST parallel imaging data
Short Name:

Description:
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has been providing tremendous survey efficiency via its pure-parallel mode by observing another field in parallel with the primary instrument in operation for the primary observation. In this study, we present a new archival project, SuperBoRG, which aims at compiling data taken in extragalactic parallel programs of HST with the Wide Field Camera 3 in the past decade, including pure-parallel (BoRG, HIPPIES, and COS-GTO) and coordinated-parallel (CLASH and RELICS) programs. The total effective area reaches ~0.41deg^2^ from 4.1Ms, or 47days, of observing time, which is the largest collection of optical-to-near-infrared imaging data of HST for extragalactic science. We reduce all data in a consistent manner with an updated version of our data reduction pipeline, including a new sky background subtraction step. When available, imaging data from the Spitzer Space Telescope are also included in photometric analyses. The data set consists of 316 independent sight lines and is highly effective for identification of high-z luminous sources (M_UV_<~-20mag) at z~7-12, helping to minimize the effects of cosmic variance. As a demonstration, we present three new z>~7 source candidates, including one luminous galaxy candidate at z_phot_~10.4 with M_UV_~-21.9mag; the best-fit spectral energy distribution implies a large amount of stellar mass (logM_*_/M_{sun}_~10) and moderate dust attenuation (A_V_~1.4mag), though the possibility of it being a low-z interloper cannot be completely rejected (~23%) with the current data set. The data set presented in this study is also suited for intermediate- and low-z science cases.

Description:
The SuperCLuster Assisted Shear Survey (SuperCLASS) is a legacy programme using the e-MERLIN interferometric array. The aim is to observe the sky at L-band (1.4GHz) to a r.m.s. of 7uJy/beam over an area of 1 square degrees centred on the Abell 981 supercluster. The main scientific objectives of the project are: (i) to detect the effects of weak lensing in the radio in preparation for similar measurements that will be made by the Square Kilometre Array (SKA); (ii) an extinction free census of star formation and AGN activity at z up to 1. In this paper we give an overview of the project including the science goals and multi-wavelength coverage before presenting the first data release. We have analysed around 400 hours of e-MERLIN data which has allowed us to create a DR1 mosaic covering an area ~0.26 square degrees to the full depth. These observations have been supplemented with complementary radio observations from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and optical/near infra-red observations taken with the Subaru, Canada-France-Hawaii and Spitzer Telescopes. The main data product is a catalogue of 887 sources detected by the VLA, of which 395 are detected by e-MERLIN and 197 of these are resolved. We have investigated the size, flux and spectral index properties of these sources and find them to be compatible with previous studies. Preliminary photometric redshifts, and an assessment of galaxy shapes measured in the radio data, combined with a radio-optical cross-correlation technique to probe cosmic shear in a supercluster environment, are presented in companion papers.

Title:
Supercluster sample from SDSS DR4
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We compile a supercluster sample using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4, and reanalyse supercluster samples found for the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey and for simulated galaxies of the Millennium Run. We find for all supercluster samples Density Field (DF) clusters, which represent high-density peaks of the class of Abell clusters, and use median luminosities of richness class 1 DF-clusters to calculate relative luminosity functions. We show that the fraction of very luminous superclusters in real samples is about five times greater than in simulated samples. Superclusters are generated by large-scale density perturbations that evolve very slowly. The absence of very luminous superclusters in simulations can be explained either by incorrect treatment of large-scale perturbations, or by some yet unknown processes in the very early Universe.
15005. Superclusters and voids

Title:
Superclusters and voids
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We study the whole-sky distribution of rich clusters of galaxies up to the distance z~0.1 and present catalogues of superclusters and cluster-defined voids. The data on clusters, superclusters and voids show the presence of the characteristic scale of 130h^-1^Mpc in the supercluster-void network, found earlier by Broadhurst et al. (1990Natur.343..726B) from a one-dimensional study. This scale has been detected in the distribution of clusters of richnesses R=0 and R>=1. We perform tests to study the influence of projection effects. The clusters that do not belong to superclusters are located in the vicinity of superclusters and form their outlying parts. We compare the distribution of ACO clusters with that of APM clusters. The APM clusters determine a smaller scale: 100h^-1^Mpc. We discuss the possible reasons for this difference.
15006. Superclusters of Abell and X-ray clusters

Title:
Superclusters of Abell and X-ray clusters
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a new catalog of superclusters of Abell clusters out to a redshift of z_lim_=0.13, a catalog of X-ray clusters located in superclusters determined by Abell clusters, and a list of additional superclusters of X-ray clusters. We investigate the distribution of X-ray selected clusters of galaxies with respect to superclusters determined by Abell clusters of galaxies and show that the distribution of X-ray clusters follows the supercluster-void network determined by Abell clusters. We find that X-ray clusters are more strongly clustered than other clusters: the fraction of X-ray clusters is higher in rich superclusters, and the fraction of isolated X-ray clusters is lower than the fraction of isolated Abell clusters. Poor, non-Abell X-ray clusters follow the supercluster-void network as well: these clusters are embedded in superclusters determined by Abell clusters and populate filaments between them. This catalogue supersedes J/A+AS/123/119

Title:
Superclusters of galaxies from 2dF
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We use the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey data to compile catalogues of superclusters for the Northern and Southern regions of the 2dFGRS, altogether 543 superclusters at redshifts 0.009<z<0.2. We apply the density field method using smoothing with an Epanechnikov kernel of radius 8Mpc. We derive positions of the highest luminosity density peaks and find the most luminous cluster in the vicinity of the peak, this cluster is considered as the main cluster and its brightest galaxy the main galaxy of the supercluster. In catalogues we give equatorial coordinates and distances of superclusters as determined by positions of their main clusters. We also calculate the expected total luminosities of the superclusters.

SuperCOSMOS Science Archive (SSA)
Short Name:
SuperCOSMOS
Date:

Publisher:
WFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh
Description:
The SuperCOSMOS data held in the SSA primarily originate from scans of Palomar and UK Schmidt blue, red and near-IR southern sky surveys. The ESO Schmidt R (dec < -17.5) and Palomar POSS-I E (dec > -17.5) surveys have also been scanned and provide a 1st epoch red measurement. Further details on the surveys, the scanning process and the raw parameters extracted can be found on the further information link. The SSA is housed in a relational database running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Data are stored in tables which are inter-linked via reference ID numbers. In addition to the astronomical object catalogues these tables also contain information on the plates that were scanned, survey field centres and calibration coefficients. Most user science queries will only need to access the SOURCE table or to a lesser extent the DETECTION table.

Description:
The SuperCOSMOS data primarily originate from scans of the UK Schmidt and Palomar POSS II blue, red and near-IR sky surveys. The ESO Schmidt R (dec < -17.5) and Palomar POSS-I E (dec > -17.5) surveys have also been scanned and provide an early (1st) epoch red measurement. Mirrored here is the source table containing four-plate multi-colour, multi-epoch data which are merged into a single source catalogue for general science exploitation. Within the GAVO DC, some column names have been adapted to local customs (primarily positions, proper motions).

Title:
"Super-deblended" dust emission in galaxies. I.
Short Name:
J/ApJ/853/172
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a new technique to measure multi-wavelength "super-deblended" photometry from highly confused images, which we apply to Herschel and ground-based far-infrared (FIR) and (sub-)millimeter (mm) data in the northern field of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS-N). There are two key novelties. First, starting with a large database of deep Spitzer 24{mu}m and VLA 20cm detections that are used to define prior positions for fitting the FIR/submm data, we perform an active selection of useful priors independently at each frequency band, moving from less to more confused bands. Exploiting knowledge of redshift and all available photometry, we identify hopelessly faint priors that we remove from the fitting pool. This approach significantly reduces blending degeneracies and allows reliable photometry to be obtained for galaxies in FIR+mm bands. Second, we obtain well-behaved, nearly Gaussian flux density uncertainties, individually tailored to all fitted priors for each band. This is done by exploiting extensive simulations that allow us to calibrate the conversion of formal fitting uncertainties to realistic uncertainties, depending on directly measurable quantities. We achieve deeper detection limits with high fidelity measurements and uncertainties at FIR+mm bands. As an illustration of the utility of these measurements, we identify 70 galaxies with z>=3 and reliable FIR+mm detections. We present new constraints on the cosmic star formation rate density at 3<z<6, finding a significant contribution from z>=3 dusty galaxies that are missed by optical-to-near-infrared color selection. Photometric measurements for 3306 priors, including more than 1000 FIR+mm detections, are released publicly with our catalog.
