16441. Updated O3N2 and N2 abundance indicators
ID:

Title:
Updated O3N2 and N2 abundance indicators
Short Name:

Description:
The use of integral field spectroscopy is since recently allowing to measure the emission line fluxes of an increasingly large number of star-forming galaxies both locally and at high redshift. Many studies have used these fluxes to derive gas-phase metallicity of the galaxies by applying the so-called strong-line methods. However, the metallicity indicators that these datasets use were empirically calibrated using few direct abundance data points (Te-based measurements). Furthermore, a precise determination of the prediction intervals of these indicators is commonly lacking in these calibrations. Such limitations might lead to systematic errors in determining the gas-phase metallicity, especially at high redshift, which might have a strong impact on our understanding of the chemical evolution of the Universe. The main goal of this study is to review the most widely used empirical oxygen calibrations, O3N2 and N2, by using new direct abundance measurements. We pay special attention to (1) the expected uncertainty of these calibrations as a function of the index value or abundance derived and (2) the presence of possible systematic offsets. This is possible thanks to the analysis of the most ambitious compilation of Te-based Hii regions to date. This new dataset compiles the Te-based abundances of 603 Hii regions extracted from the literature but also includes new measurements from the CALIFA survey.
16442. Updated parameters of 1743 open clusters

Title:
Updated parameters of 1743 open clusters
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/504/356
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
In this study, we follow up our recent paper (Monteiro et al., )2020MNRAS.499.1874M and present a homogeneous sample of fundamental parameters of open clusters in our Galaxy, entirely based on Gaia DR2 data. We used published membership probability of the stars derived from Gaia DR2 data and applied our isochrone fitting code, updated as in Monteiro et al. (2020MNRAS.499.1874M), to G_BP_ and G_RP_Gaia DR2 data for member stars. In doing this, we take into account the nominal errors in the data and derive distance, age, and extinction of each cluster. This work therefore provides parameters for 1743 open clusters and, as a by-product, a list of likely not physical or dubious open clusters is provided as well for future investigations. Furthermore, it was possible to estimate the mean radial velocity of 831 clusters (198 of which are new and unpublished so far), using stellar radial velocities from Gaia DR2 catalogue. By comparing the open cluster distances obtained from isochrone fitting with those obtained from a maximum likelihood estimate of individual member parallaxes, we found a systematic offset of (-0.05 {\pm} 0.04) mas.

Updated photometry for star clusters in M33

Description:
The photometric characterization of M33 star clusters is far from complete. In this paper, we present homogeneous UBVRI photometry of 708 star clusters and cluster candidates in M33 based on archival images from the Local Group Galaxies Survey, which covers 0.8deg^2^ along the galaxy's major axis. Our photometry includes 387, 563, 616, 580, and 478 objects in the UBVRI bands, respectively, of which 276, 405, 430, 457, and 363 do not have previously published UBVRI photometry. Our photometry is consistent with previous measurements (where available) in all filters. We adopted Sloan Digital Sky Survey ugriz photometry for complementary purposes, as well as Two Micron All Sky Survey near-infrared JHK photometry where available. We fitted the spectral-energy distributions of 671 star clusters and candidates to derive their ages, metallicities, and masses based on the updated PARSEC simple stellar populations synthesis models. The results of our {chi}^2^ minimization routines show that only 205 of the 671 clusters (31%) are older than 2Gyr, which represents a much smaller fraction of the cluster population than that in M31 (56%), suggesting that M33 is dominated by young star clusters (<1Gyr).

Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
The all-sky Planck catalog of 1,227 clusters and cluster candidates (PSZ1) derived from Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect detections using the first 15.5 months of Planck satellite observations included 683 so-called previously known clusters. PSZ1 was first published in March 2013 (Planck Collaboration 2013 (2013yCat.8091....0P, and 2014A&amp;A...571A..29P). This HEASARC table contains an updated version of the PSZ1 catalog, version 2.1 (10-02-2015) according to the CDS documentation, reporting the further confirmation of 86 Planck-discovered clusters. In total, the PSZ1 now contains 947 confirmed clusters, of which 214 were confirmed as newly discovered clusters through follow-up observations undertaken by the Planck Collaboration. The updated PSZ1 contains redshifts for 913 systems, of which 736 (~80.6%) are spectroscopic, and associated mass estimates derived from the Y&lt;sub&gt;z&lt;/sub&gt; mass proxy. A new SZ quality flag is also provided for the remaining 280 candidates. This flag was derived from a novel artificial neural-network classification of the SZ signal. Based on this assessment, the purity of the updated PSZ1 catalogue is estimated to be 94%. This table was originally ingested by the HEASARC in May 2013. An updated version (2.1) was ingested by the HEASARC in October 2015 based on &lt;a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/581/A14"&gt;CDS Catalog J/A+A/581/A14&lt;/a&gt; files psz1v2_1.dat and notes.dat.

16446. Updated radial velocities from Gaia DR2

Title:
Updated radial velocities from Gaia DR2
Short Name:
J/A+A/653/A160
Date:
08 Feb 2022 14:02:40
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Gaia's Early Third Data Release (EDR3) does not contain new radial velocities because these will be published in Gaia's full third data release (DR3), expected in the first half of 2022. To maximise the usefulness of EDR3, Gaia's second data release (DR2) sources (with radial velocities) are matched to EDR3 sources to allow their DR2 radial velocities to also be included in EDR3. This presents two considerations: (i) a list of 70365 sources with potentially contaminated DR2 radial velocities has been published; and (ii) EDR3 is based on a new astrometric solution and a new source list, which means sources in DR2 may not be in EDR3. The two aims of this work are: (i) investigate the list in order to improve the DR2 radial velocities being included in EDR3 and to avoid false-positive hypervelocity candidates; and (ii) match the DR2 sources (with radial velocities) to EDR3 sources. Methods. Thetwo methods of this work are: (i) unpublished, preliminary DR3 radial velocities of sources on the list, and high-velocity stars not on the list, are compared with their DR2 radial velocities to identify and remove contaminated DR2 radial velocities from EDR3; and (ii) proper motions and epoch position propagation is used to attempt to match all sources with radial velocities in DR2 to EDR3 sources. The comparison of DR2 and DR3 radial velocities is used to resolve match ambiguities. EDR3 contains 7209831 sources with a DR2 radial velocity, which is 99.8% of sources with a radial velocity in DR2 (7224631). 14800 radial velocities from DR2 are not propagated to any EDR3 sources because (i) 3871 from the list are found to either not have a DR3 radial velocity or it differs significantly from its DR2 value, and five high-velocity stars not on the list are confirmed to have contaminated radial velocities, in one case because of contamination from the non-overlapping Radial Velocity Spectrometer windows of a nearby, bright star; and (ii) 10924 DR2 sources could not be satisfactorily matched to any EDR3 sources, so their DR2 radial velocities are also missing from EDR3. The reliability of radial velocities in EDR3 has improved compared to DR2 because the update removes a small fraction of erroneous radial velocities (0.05% of DR2 radial velocities and 5.5% of the list). Lessons learnt from EDR3 (e.g. bright star contamination) will improve the radial velocities in future Gaia data releases. The main reason for radial velocities from DR2 not propagating to EDR3 is not related to DR2 radial velocity quality. It is because the DR2 astrometry is based on one component of close binary pairs, while EDR3 astrometry is based on the other component, which prevents these sources from being unambiguously matched.

Title:
Updated 3rd Cat Variable Stars in Globular Clusters
Short Name:
V/97
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This Catalogue is an update to Helen Sawyer Hogg's Third Catalogue on Variable Stars in Globular Clusters (1973, David Dunlap Observatory Publications, Volume 3, Number 6). This update is based mainly on reference cards prepared by Helen Sawyer Hogg from articles published in the literature in the period 1973 to 1988. There are also some references entered from more recent literature and we are attempting to bring the catalogue up to date. Not all known globular clusters have been included, as the literature search is not at this point complete.
16448. Updated Type II supernova Hubble diagram

Title:
Updated Type II supernova Hubble diagram
Short Name:
J/A+A/611/A25
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present photometry and spectroscopy of nine Type II-P/L supernovae (SNe) with redshifts in the 0.045~<z~<0.335 range, with a view to re-examining their utility as distance indicators. Specifically, we apply the expanding photosphere method (EPM) and the standardized candle method (SCM) to each target, and find that both methods yield distances that are in reasonable agreement with each other. The current record-holder for the highest-redshift spectroscopically confirmed SN II-P is PS1-13bni (z=0.335^+0.009^_-0.012_), and illustrates the promise of Type II SNe as cosmological tools. We updated existing EPM and SCM Hubble diagrams by adding our sample to those previously published. Within the context of Type II SN distance measuring techniques, we investigated two related questions. First, we explored the possibility of utilising spectral lines other than the traditionally used FeII {lambda}5169 to infer the photospheric velocity of SN ejecta. Using local well-observed objects, we derive an epoch-dependent relation between the strong Balmer lines H{alpha}, H{beta} and FeII {lambda}5169 velocities that is applicable 30 to 40 days post-explosion. Motivated in part by the continuum of key observables such as rise time and decline rates exhibited from II-P to II-L SNe, we assessed the possibility of using Hubble-flow Type II-L SNe as distance indicators. These yield similar distances as the Type II-P SNe. Although these initial results are encouraging, a significantly larger sample of SNe II-L would be required to draw definitive conclusions.
16449. Updated X-ray view of the Hyades cluster
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/640/A66
Title:
Updated X-ray view of the Hyades cluster
Short Name:
J/A+A/640/A66
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We revisit the X-ray properties of the main sequence Hyades members and the relation between X-ray emission and stellar rotation. As an input catalog for Hyades members, we combined three recent membership lists derived from Gaia DR2 data that include the Hyades core and its tidal tails. We searched for X-ray detections of the main sequence Hyades members in the ROSAT all-sky survey (RASS), and pointings from ROSAT, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, and XMM-Newton. Furtmermore, we adopted rotation periods derived from Kepler's K2 mission and other resources. We find an X-ray detection for 281 of 1066 bona fide main sequence Hyades members and provide statistical upper limits for the undetected sources. The majority of the X-ray detected stars are located in the Hyades core because of its generally smaller distance to the sun. F- and G-type stars have the highest detection fraction (72%), while K- and M-type dwarfs have lower detection rates (22 %). The X-ray luminosities of the detected members range from about 2x10^27^ for late M-type dwarfs to approximately 2x10^30^erg/s for active binaries. The X-ray luminosity distribution functions formally differ for the members in the core and tidal tails, which is likely caused by a larger fraction of field stars in our Hyades tails sample. Compared to previous studies, our sample is slightly fainter in X-rays due to differences in the Hyades membership list used; furthermore, we extend the X-ray luminosity distribution to fainter luminosities. The X-ray activity of F- and G-type stars is well defined at F_X_/F_bol_=10^-5^. The fractional X-ray luminosity and its spread increases to later spectral types reaching the saturation limit (F_X_/F_bol_=10^-3^) for members later than spectral type M3. Confirming previous results, the X-ray flux varies by less than a factor of three between epochs for the 104 Hyades members with multiple epoch data, significantly less than expected from solar-like actvity cycles. Rotation periods are found for 204 Hyades members, with about half of them being detected in X-rays. The activity-rotation relation derived for the coeval Hyades members has properties very similar to those obtained by other authors investigating stars of different ages.
16450. Updated Zwicky Catalog
ID:
ivo://nasa.heasarc/uzc
Title:
Updated Zwicky Catalog
Short Name:
UZC
Date:
28 Feb 2025
Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
The Zwicky Catalog of Galaxies, with a magnitude limit m&lt;sub&gt;Zw&lt;/sub&gt; &lt;= 15.5, has been the basis for the Center for Astrophysics (CfA) redshift surveys. To date, analyses of the Zwicky Catalog and redshift surveys based on it have relied on heterogeneous sets of galaxy coordinates and redshifts. In this Updated Zwicky Catalog (UZC), some of the inadequacies of previous catalogs are corrected by providing (1) coordinates with ~&lt;2 arcsecond errors for all of the 19,369 catalog galaxies, (2) homogeneously estimated redshifts cz (radial velocities) for the majority (98%) of the data taken at the CfA (14,632 spectra), and (3) an estimate of the remaining &quot;blunder&quot; rate for both the CfA redshifts and for those compiled from the literature. For the reanalyzed CfA data a calibrated, uniformly determined error and an indication of the presence of emission lines in each spectrum are included. Redshifts (radial velocities) are provided for the 7257 galaxies in the CfA2 redshift survey that were not previously published; for another 5625 CfA redshifts (radial velocities), the remeasured or uniformly rereduced values are listed. Among the new measurements, 1807 are members of UZC &quot;multiplets&quot; associated with the original Zwicky catalog position in the coordinate range where the catalog is 98% complete. These multiplets provide new candidates for examination of tidal interaction among galaxies. All of the new redshifts (radial velocities) correspond to UZC galaxies with properties recorded in the CfA redshift compilation known as ZCAT. The redshift catalog included in the UZC is ~96% complete to m&lt;sub&gt;Zw&lt;/sub&gt; &lt;= 15.5 and ~98% complete (12,925 galaxies out of a total of 13,150) for the right ascension ranges 20 hr &gt;= RA(1950) &lt;= 4 hr and 8 hr &lt;= RA(1950) &lt;= 17 hr and the declination range -2.5 degrees &lt;= Dec(1950) &lt;= 50 degrees. This more complete region includes all of the CfA2 survey as analyzed to the date of the publication of the UZC (1999). This database was created by the HEASARC in October 2000 based on a machine-readable version obtained from the CDS (Catalog J/PASP/111/438). It was slightly revised in February 2001 (the &#39;redshift&#39; parameters were renamed as &#39;radial velocity&#39; parameters to conform with the usage in other similar HEASARC extragalactic catalogs).
