15021. SuperWASP transit false positive catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/488/4905
Title:
SuperWASP transit false positive catalog
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/488/4905
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
SuperWASP, the Northern hemisphere WASP observatory, has been observing the skies from La Palma since 2004. In that time, more than 50 planets have been discovered with data contributions from SuperWASP. In the process of validating planets, many false-positive candidates have also been identified. The TESS telescope is set to begin observations of the northern sky in 2019. Similar to the WASP survey, the TESS pixel size is relatively large (13 arcsec for WASP and 21 arcsec for TESS), making it susceptible to many blended signals and false detections caused principally by grazing and blended stellar eclipsing binary systems. In order to reduce duplication of effort on targets, we present a catalogue of 1041 Northern hemisphere SuperWASP targets that have been rejected as planetary transits through follow-up observation.
15022. SUPERWIDE: wide binaries in Gaia & SUPERBLINK

Title:
SUPERWIDE: wide binaries in Gaia & SUPERBLINK
Short Name:

Publisher:

Description:
We present a catalog of 99203 wide binary systems, initially identified as common proper motion (CPM) pairs from a subset of ~5.2million stars with proper motions {mu}>40mas/yr, selected from Gaia data release 2 (DR2, I/345) and the SUPERBLINK high proper motion catalog (Lepine 2005, J/AJ/130/1247 and Lepine & Gaidos 2011, J/AJ/142/138). CPM pairs are found by searching for pairs of stars with angular separations <1{deg} and proper motion differences {Delta}{mu}<40mas/yr. A Bayesian analysis is then applied in two steps. In a first pass, we use proper motion differences and angular separations to distinguish between real binaries and chance alignments. In a second pass, we use parallax data from Gaia DR2 to refine our Bayesian probability estimates. We present a table of 119390 pairs which went through the full analysis, 99203 of which have probabilities >95% of being real wide binaries. Of those 99203 high-probability pairs, we estimate that only about 364 pairs are most likely to be false positives. In addition, we identify 57506 pairs that have probabilities greater than 10% from the first pass but have high parallax errors and therefore were not vetted in the second pass. We examine the projected physical separation distribution of our highest probability pairs and note that the distribution is a simple exponential tail and shows no evidence of being bimodal. Among pairs with lower probability, wide binaries are detected at larger separations (>10^4^-10^5^au), consistent with the very wide population suggested in previous studies; however, our analysis suggests that these do not represent a distinct population, but instead represent either the exponential tail of the "normal" wide binary distribution or are simply chance alignments of unrelated field stars. We examine the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram of this set of high-probability wide binaries and find evidence for 980 overluminous components among 2227 K+K wide binaries; assuming these represent unresolved subsystems, we determine that the higher-order multiplicity fraction for K+K wide systems is at least 39.6%.
15023. Supplementary data for 146 candidate young stars

Title:
Supplementary data for 146 candidate young stars
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/491/215
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The past two decades have seen dramatic progress in our knowledge of the population of young stars of age <200Myr that lie within 150pc of the Sun. These nearby, young stars, most of which are found in loose, comoving groups, provide the opportunity to explore (among many other things) the dissolution of stellar clusters and their diffusion into the field star population. Here, we exploit the combination of astrometric and photometric data from Gaia and photometric data from GALEX (UV) and 2MASS (near-IR) in an attempt to identify additional nearby, young, late-type stars. Specifically, we present a sample of 146 GALEX UV-selected late-type (predominantly K-type) field stars with Gaia-based distances <125pc (based on Gaia Data Release 1) that have isochronal ages <80Myr even if equal-components binaries. We investigate the spectroscopic and kinematic properties of this sample. Despite their young isochronal ages, only ~10 per cent of stars among this sample can be confidently associated with established nearby, young moving groups (MGs). These candidate MG members include five stars newly identified in this study. The vast majority of our sample of 146 nearby young star candidates have anomalous kinematics relative to the known MGs. These stars may hence represent a previously unrecognized population of young stars that has recently mixed into the older field star population. We discuss the implications and caveats of such a hypothesis - including the intriguing fact that, in addition to their non-young-star-like kinematics, the majority of the UV-selected, isochronally young field stars within 50pc appear surprisingly X-ray faint.
15024. Supplement to Second EGRET Catalog

Title:
Supplement to Second EGRET Catalog
Short Name:
J/ApJS/107/227
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This supplement extends the second EGRET catalog of high-energy gamma-ray sources (see recent paper by Thompson et al.), incorporating data from 1993 September to 1994 October. The second catalog contained 129 sources, based on data from 1991 April to 1993 September. An additional 28 sources are found, including three new identifications of active galactic nuclei.
15025. Supplement to the BATSE gamma-ray burst catalogs
ID:

Title:
Supplement to the BATSE gamma-ray burst catalogs
Short Name:
J/ApJS/134/385
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory detects gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with a real-time burst detection (or "trigger") system running on-board the spacecraft. Under some circumstances, however, a GRB may not activate the on-board burst trigger. For example, the burst may be too faint to exceed the on-board detection threshold, or it may occur while the on-board burst trigger is disabled for technical reasons. This paper describes a catalog of 873 "nontriggered" GRBs that were detected in a search of the archival continuous data from BATSE recorded between 1991 December 9.0 and 1997 December 17.0. For each burst, the catalog gives an estimated source direction, duration, peak flux, and fluence. Similar data are presented for 50 additional bursts of unknown origin that were detected in the 25-50keV range; these events may represent the low-energy "tail" of the GRB spectral distribution. This catalog increases the number of GRBs detected with BATSE by 48% during the time period covered by the search.
15026. Supplement to the Bright Star Catalogue
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/V/36B
Title:
Supplement to the Bright Star Catalogue
Short Name:
V/36B
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The catalog is an extension of the BSC4 (Hoffleit 1982; see catalog <V/50>) and contains compiled data on stars for which photoelectric determinations are given as 7.10V or brighter and that are not already included in the latter catalog. The data included in the supplement are basically the same as those in the BSC4 itself, and the format of the machine version is very similar. Notable differences are that the NAME column has been omitted, since very few supplement stars have Bayer or Flamsteed designations, and has been replaced with the SAO number. Also, the parallax field includes only data determined from trigonometric methods; all dynamical parallax data have been relegated to the REMARKS. Position-angle data are given in the main table for double stars, whereas they were contained, if reported, only in the REMARKS file of the BSC4. Remarks for supplement stars are given in a separate file of the machine version and are present for 49% of the stars. The introductory file "intro.doc" contains the text given in the introduction to the published catalog except that the figures are, of course, not included. Data included in the catalog "bsc4s.dat" are HD number; DM number; SAO number; double-star code or identification; variable-star identification; right ascension (B1900) declination, right ascension (B2000) declination; galactic coordinates; V magnitude; B-V, U-B, R-I colors; spectral type; annual proper motions; parallax; radial velocity (km/s): and projected rotational velocity v sin i (km/s). Data included for multiple stars are magnitude difference, separation (arcsec), position angle (PA) of components, component identifications (A, B, ...), and number of components (N). A remarks flag is included as a pointer to a remarks file. The third file "remarks.dat" contains the actual remarks for stars flagged in the data file.

Title:
Suppl. to Diffuse Interstellar Band Measurements
Short Name:
II/135
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This bibliographic search has been undertaken in order to gather all data concerning four diffuse interstellar bands (DIB) published since the Snow, York, and Welty (1977) catalogue, and up to 1987.0. These four DIB are : 4430, 5780, 5797, and 6284 Angstrom. In the present set of data, no statistical reduction to a unique system has been made because most of the lists contain only few data.
15028. Suprime-Cam wide-field photometry of Leo A

Title:
Suprime-Cam wide-field photometry of Leo A
Short Name:
J/ApJS/214/19
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have surveyed a complete extent of Leo A --an apparently isolated gas-rich low-mass dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group. The B, V, and I passband CCD images (typical seeing ~0.8") were obtained with the Subaru Telescope equipped with the Suprime-Cam mosaic camera. The wide-field (20'x24') photometry catalog of 38856 objects (V~16-26mag) is presented. This survey is also intended to serve as "a finding chart" for future imaging and spectroscopic observation programs of Leo A.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) allows us to study the central surface brightness profiles of globular clusters at unprecedented detail. We have mined the HST archives to obtain 38 WFPC2 images of Galactic globular clusters with adequate exposure times and filters, which we use to measure their central structure.
15030. Surface brightness of S^4^G face-on galaxies
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/771/59
Title:
Surface brightness of S^4^G face-on galaxies
Short Name:
J/ApJ/771/59
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have analyzed the radial distribution of old stars in a sample of 218 nearby face-on disks, using deep 3.6{mu}m images from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies. In particular, we have studied the structural properties of those disks with a broken or down-bending profile. We find that, on average, disks with a genuine single-exponential profile have a scale length and a central surface brightness which are intermediate to those of the inner and outer components of a down-bending disk with the same total stellar mass. In the particular case of barred galaxies, the ratio between the break and the bar radii (R_br_/R_bar_) depends strongly on the total stellar mass of the galaxy. For galaxies more massive than 10^10^M_{sun}_, the distribution is bimodal, peaking at R_br_/R_bar_~2 and ~3.5. The first peak, which is the most populated one, is linked to the outer Lindblad resonance of the bar, whereas the second one is consistent with a dynamical coupling between the bar and the spiral pattern. For galaxies below 10^10^M_{sun}_, breaks are found up to ~10R_bar_, but we show that they could still be caused by resonances given the rising nature of rotation curves in these low-mass disks. While not ruling out star formation thresholds, our results imply that radial stellar migration induced by non-axisymmetric features can be responsible not only for those breaks at ~2R_bar_, but also for many of those found at larger radii.
