15361. The Centaurus Cluster Catalogue
ID:

Title:
The Centaurus Cluster Catalogue
Short Name:

Description:
The central region of the Centaurus cluster was surveyed on a film copy of a high-resolution photographic Las Campanas duPont plate. A large number of cluster galaxy candidates were identified down to a limiting magnitude of 21.5 in B. Between cluster members and background objects were distinguished by applying morphological criteria. Following the morphological classification of each member, the images of all 296 cluster galaxies on a SERC deep-blue sky survey plate were digitized, processed and analysed with the image processing package MIDAS. We established total apparent B-magnitude and other structure parameters for each cluster galaxy which are listed in the Centaurus Cluster Catalogue.

Description:
We present our mass estimate of the central black hole in the isolated spiral galaxy NGC 4414. Using natural guide star adaptive optics assisted observations with the Gemini Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectrometer (NIFS) and the natural seeing Gemini Multi-Object Spectrographs-North (GMOS), we derived two-dimensional stellar kinematic maps of NGC 4414 covering the central 1.5-arcsec and 10-arcsec, respectively, at a NIFS spatial resolution of 0.13-arcsec. The kinematic maps reveal a regular rotation pattern and a central velocity dispersion dip down to around 105km/s. We constructed dynamical methods using two different methods: Jeans anisotropic dynamical modeling and axisymmetric Schwarzschild modeling. Both modeling methods give consistent results, but we cannot constrain the lower mass limit and only measure an upper limit for the black hole mass of M_bh_=1.56x10^6^M_{sun}_ (at 3{sigma{ level) which is at least 1{sigma} below the recent Mbh-sigma_e relations. Further tests with dark matter, mass-to-light ratio variation and different light models confirm that our results are not dominated by uncertainties. The derived upper limit mass is not only below the Mbh-sigma_e relation, but is also five times lower than the lower limit black hole mass anticipated from the resolution limit of the sphere of influence. This proves that via high quality integral field data we are now able to push black hole measurements down to at least five times less than the resolution limit.

The central Fornax Cluster. I. Galaxy photometry

Description:
In this paper, a photometric catalog is presented of V and I photometry of galaxies in the central regions of the Fornax galaxy cluster. Our 11 CCD fields cover 0.17 square degrees in total. The limiting surface brightness is around 24mag/arcsec^2^, similar to that of Ferguson's (1989, Cat. <VII/180>) catalog, whereas our limiting total magnitude is around V=22mag, about two magnitudes fainter. The photometric properties of more than 870 objects are presented as a catalog (Appendix A). The properties and fit parameters of the surface brightness profiles for a sub-sample are presented in a second catalog (Appendix B). Four new dwarf galaxies are added to Ferguson's catalog. However, we confirm that the dwarf galaxies in Fornax follow a similar surface brightness -- magnitude relation as the Local Group dwarfs. They also follow the color (metallicity) -- magnitude relation seen in other galaxy clusters. A formerly suspected excess of dwarf galaxies surrounding the central giant cD galaxy NGC 1399 can be explained by the superposition of a background cluster at z=0.11 (Hilker et al. 1998, Cat. <J/A+AS/134/75>, Paper II in this series).

The Cepheus flare observed with IRAC and MIPS

Description:
We present Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC; ~2deg^2^) and Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS; ~8deg^2^) observations of the Cepheus Flare, which is associated with the Gould Belt, at an approximate distance of ~300pc. Around 6500 sources are detected in all four IRAC bands, of which ~900 have MIPS 24um detections. We identify 133 young stellar object (YSO) candidates using color-magnitude diagram techniques, and a large number of the YSO candidates are associated with the NGC 7023 reflection nebula. Cross-identifications were made with the Guide Star Catalog II and the IRAS Faint Source Catalog, and spectral energy distributions (SEDs) were constructed. SED modeling was conducted to estimate the degree of infrared excess. It was found that a large majority of disks were optically thick accreting disks, suggesting that there has been little disk evolution in these sources. Nearest-neighbor clustering analysis identified four small protostellar groups (L1228, L1228N, L1251A, and L1251B) with 5-15 members each and the larger NGC 7023 association with 32 YSO members. The star-formation efficiency for cores with clusters of protostars and for those without clusters was found to be ~8% and ~1%, respectively. The cores L1155, L1241, and L1247 are confirmed to be starless down to our luminosity limit of L_bol_=0.06L_{sun}_.

Short Name:
VII/193
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The catalog (files zcat.dat and zbig.dat) incorporates much of the latest velocity data from the Whipple Observatory and other sources as well as velocities from earlier compilations such as the Second Reference Catalogue of de Vaucouleurs, de Vaucouleurs, and Corwin; the Index of Galaxy Spectra of Gisler and Friel, and the Catalogue of Radial Velocities of Galaxies of Palumbo, Tanzella-Nitti, and Vettolani. The data included here are BT magnitudes and a few UGC numbers with increased "accuracy" in the velocity source information. The following separate tables contain selected objects from the CfA Redshift Survey: - the first CfA Redsdhift Survey (Huchra et al., 1983ApJS...52...89H); this catalogue contains 2395 galaxies, a number slightly smaller than the published number of 2399, since there have been small corrections to the magnitudes for multiple galaxies. This version has had new morphological types added by me as well as POSS diameters measured for those galaxies that were not in the UGC or did not have UGC diameters. - the first slice of the second CfA redshift survey (Huchra et al., 1990ApJS...72..433H) - the second slice of the CfA redshift survey (Huchra et al., 1995ApJS...99..391H) See the complete description in 'zcom.tex' (in plain TeX), or zcom.txt (plain ascii)

Description:
We present redshifts for a sample of 4391 galaxies with magnitude m_B(0)_<=15.5 covering 20h<=RA<=4h in right ascension and -2.5{deg}<=DE<=90{deg} in declination. This sample is complete for all galaxies in the merge of the Zwicky et al. and Nilson catalogs in the south Galactic cap. Redshifts for 2964 of these were measured as part of the second CfA Redshift Survey. The data reveal large voids in the foreground and background of the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster. The largest of these voids lies at a mean velocity ~8000km/s, has diameter ~5000km/s, and is enclosed by a complex of dense structures. The large structure known as the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster forms the near side of this complex. On the far side of this large void, at a mean velocity ~12000km/s, there is another coherent dense wall. The structures in this survey support the view that galaxies generally lie on surfaces surrounding or nearly surrounding low-density regions or voids.

Description:
Canada and France joined a large fraction (~50%) of their dark and grey telescope time from mid-2003 to early 2009 for a large project, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS). The data acquisition and calibration has been a major undertaking for the Canadian and French communities: more than 2300 hours over 5 years (an equivalent of 450 nights) have been devoted to the survey using the wide field optical imaging camera MegaCam, a 1{deg}x1{deg} field of view 340 Megapixel camera. The CFHTLS comprises 2 components: "CFHTLS Deep", 4 independent 1deg^2^ MegaCam pointing, and "CFHT Wide" comprising 171 MegaCam pointings covering ~155deg^2^ in 4 contiguous independent patches. All areas are located far from the galactic plane, and their central positions are: -------------------------------------------------- Field RA (J2000) Dec Galactic position -------------------------------------------------- W1 02:18 -07:00 172.468 -61.242 W2 08:54 -04:15 232.067 +24.743 W3 14:17:54 +54:30:31 098.850 +58.390 W4 22:13:18 +01:19 063.243 -42.511 D1 02:25:59 -04:29:40 171.993 -58.054 D2 10:00:28 +02:23:30 236.616 +42.227 D3 14:19:27 +52:40:56 096.227 +59.642 D4 22:15:31 -17:43:56 039.271 -52.925 -------------------------------------------------- This final release of the CFHTLS benefits greatly from vastly improved flat-fielding and photometric calibration techniques developed by the Supernovae Legacy Survey (SNLS) team and CFHT which allows us to significantly improve the precision of our photometric calibration compared to previous releases. The astrometric accuracy reaches 0.02arcsec internal and 0.2arcsec external. The set of filters used for the survey are close to the SDSS filter set; their characteristics and a comparison to SDSS can be found at http://www3.cadc-ccda.hia-iha.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/megapipe/docs/filters.html Please ee the documentation file "T0007-doc.pdf" for details concerning this T0007 release.

The CGM-GRB study. I. GRB hosts at z~2-6
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Recent studies have revealed a dynamic interplay between the galaxy ecosystem and circumgalactic medium (CGM). We investigate the CGM at high redshifts (z>~2) by using bright afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) as background sources. We compiled a sample of medium-resolution ({Delta}v<50km/s) and high signal-to-noise ratio (typical S/N~10) spectra from 27 GRB afterglows covering z~2-6, with six of them at z>~4. We analyzed the high- and low-ionization absorption features within +/-400km/s to extract the CGM and interstellar medium (ISM) kinematics. In the stacked spectra, high-ionization absorption profiles (e.g., CIV, SiIV) present significant absorption excess in their blue wings (v{<}-100km/s) relative to the red wings (v>100km/s). The stronger blue wings in high-ionization species are indicative of the presence of ubiquitous warm outflows in the GRB hosts at high redshifts. We used simple toy models to kinematically distinguish the CGM and ISM absorption and estimate the CGM mass and outflow velocity. We find tentative evidence of the evolution of the CGM metal mass by ~0.5dex between two redshift bins, each spanning 1 Gyr, z1: 2-2.7 and z2: 2.7-5. By comparing with past studies, we find that over the course of evolution of present-day galaxies with M_*_>10^10^M_{sun}_, the ratio of CIV mass in the CGM to the stellar mass remains fairly uniform, with log(M_CIV_/M_*_)~-4.5 within +/-0.5dex from z~4 to z~0, suggesting CGM-galaxy coevolution.

Description:
We present a catalog of compact sources of radio emission at 1420MHz in the northern Galactic plane from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey. The catalog contains 72758 compact sources with an angular size less than 3' within the Galactic longitude range 52{deg}<l<192{deg} down to a 5{sigma} detection level of ~1.2mJy. Linear polarization properties are included for 12368 sources with signals greater than 4{sigma}_QU_ in the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS) Stokes Q and U images at the position of the total intensity peak. We compare CGPS flux densities with cataloged flux densities in the Northern VLA Sky Survey catalog for 10897 isolated unresolved sources with CGPS flux density greater than 4mJy to search for sources that show variable flux density on timescales of several years. We identify 146 candidate variables that exhibit high fractional variations between the two surveys. In addition, we identify 13 candidate transient sources that have CGPS flux density above 10mJy but are not detected in the Northern VLA Sky Survey.

Title:
The CGS. IV. Elliptical galaxies colors
Short Name:
J/ApJ/821/114
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Many recent observations and numerical simulations suggest that nearby massive, early-type galaxies (ETGs) were formed through a "two-phase" process. In the proposed second phase, the extended stellar envelope was accumulated through many dry mergers. However, details of the past merger history of present-day ellipticals, such as the typical merger mass ratio, are difficult to constrain observationally. Within the context and assumptions of the two-phase formation scenario, we propose a straightforward method, using photometric data alone, to estimate the average mass ratio of mergers that contributed to the build-up of massive elliptical galaxies. We study a sample of nearby massive elliptical galaxies selected from the Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy Survey, using two-dimensional analysis to decompose their light distribution into an inner, denser component plus an extended, outer envelope, each having a different optical color. The combination of these two substructures accurately recovers the negative color gradient exhibited by the galaxy as whole. The color difference between the two components (<{Delta}(B-V)>~0.10mag; <{Delta}(B-R)>~0.14mag), based on the slope of the M*-color relation for nearby ETGs, can be translated into an estimate of the average mass ratio of the mergers. The rough estimate, 1:5 to 1:10, is consistent with the expectation of the two-phase formation scenario, suggesting that minor mergers were largely responsible for building up the outer stellar envelopes of present-day massive ellipticals. With the help of accurate photometry, large sample sizes and more choices of colors promised by ongoing and future surveys, the approach proposed here can provide more insights into the growth of massive galaxies during the last few Gyr.
