UV-to-FIR analysis of sources in the EGS. II.

Description:
Based on the ultraviolet to far-infrared photometry already compiled and presented in a companion paper (Barro et al. 2011, Cat. J/ApJS/193/13), we present a detailed spectral energy distribution (SED) analysis of nearly 80000 IRAC 3.6+4.5um selected galaxies in the Extended Groth Strip. We estimate photometric redshifts, stellar masses, and star formation rates (SFRs) separately for each galaxy in this large sample. The catalog includes 76936 sources with [3.6]<=23.75 (85% completeness level of the IRAC survey) over 0.48deg^2^. The typical photometric redshift accuracy is {Delta}z/(1+z)=0.034, with a catastrophic outlier fraction of just 2%. We quantify the systematics introduced by the use of different stellar population synthesis libraries and initial mass functions in the calculation of stellar masses. We find systematic offsets ranging from 0.1 to 0.4dex, with a typical scatter of 0.3dex. We also provide UV- and IR-based SFRs for all sample galaxies, based on several sets of dust emission templates and SFR indicators. We evaluate the systematic differences and goodness of the different SFR estimations using the deep FIDEL 70um data available in the Extended Groth Strip. Typical random uncertainties of the IR-bases SFRs are a factor of two, with non-negligible systematic effects at z>~1.5 observed when only MIPS 24um data are available.

UV-to-FIR magnitudes for 83 starburst galaxies

Description:
We present a database of UV-to-FIR data of 83 nearby starburst galaxies. The galaxies are selected based upon the availability of IUE data. We have recalibrated the IUE UV spectra for these galaxies by incorporating the most recent improvements. For 45 of these galaxies we use observations by Storchi-Bergmann et al. (1995ApJS...98..103S) and McQuade et al. (1995ApJS...97..331M) for the spectra in the optical range. The NIR data are from new observations obtained at the NASA/IRTF and the Mount Laguna Observatory, combined with the published results from observations at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. In addition, published calibrated ISO data are included to provide mid-IR flux densities for some of the galaxies. The optical-to-IR data are matched as closely as possible to the IUE large aperture. In conjunction with IRAS and ISO FIR flux densities, all these data form a set of observed spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the nuclear regions of nearby starburst galaxies. The SEDs should be useful in studying star formation and dust/gas attenuation in galaxies. We also present the magnitudes in the standard BVRI and various HST/WFPC2 bandpasses synthesized from the UV and optical wavelength ranges of these SEDs. For some of the galaxies, the HST/WFPC2 magnitudes synthesized from the SEDs are checked with those directly measured from WFPC2 images to test the photometric errors of the optical data and their effective matching of apertures with the UV data. The implications of the new SEDs on the star formation rates and dust/gas attenuation are briefly discussed.

UV to IR fluxes of 221 early-type galaxies
Short Name:
J/ApJ/783/135
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We compute the properties of a sample of 221 local, early-type galaxies with a spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling software, CIGALEMC. Concentrating on the star-forming (SF) activity and dust contents, we derive parameters such as the specific star formation rate (sSFR), the dust luminosity, dust mass, and temperature. In our sample, 52% is composed of elliptical (E) galaxies and 48% of lenticular (S0) galaxies. We find a larger proportion of S0 galaxies among galaxies with a large sSFR and large specific dust emission. The stronger activity of S0 galaxies is confirmed by larger dust masses. We investigate the relative proportion of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and SF galaxies in our sample using spectroscopic Sloan Digital Sky Survey data and near-infrared selection techniques, and find a larger proportion of AGN-dominated galaxies in the S0 sample than the E one. This could corroborate a scenario where blue galaxies evolve into red ellipticals by passing through an S0 AGN active period while quenching its star formation. Finally, we find a good agreement comparing our estimates with color indicators.
16574. UV-to-IR fluxes of Hickson compact groups

Title:
UV-to-IR fluxes of Hickson compact groups
Short Name:
J/A+A/533/A142
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a comprehensive study on the impact of the environment of compact galaxy groups on the evolution of their members using a multi-wavelength analysis, from the UV to the infrared, for a sample of 32 Hickson compact groups (HCGs) containing 135 galaxies. Fitting the SEDs of all galaxies with the state-of-the-art model of da Cunha (2008MNRAS.388.1595D) we can accurately calculate their mass, SFR, and extinction, as well as estimate their infrared luminosity and dust content. We compare our findings with samples of field galaxies, early-stage interacting pairs, and cluster galaxies with similar data. We find that classifying the groups as dynamically "old" or "young", depending on whether or not at least one quarter of their members are early-type systems, is physical and consistent with past classifications of HCGs based on their atomic gas content. Dynamically "old" groups are more compact and display higher velocity dispersions than "young" groups. Late-type galaxies in dynamically "young" groups have specific star formation rates (sSFRs), NUV-r, and mid-infrared colors which are similar to those of field and early stage interacting pair spirals. Late-type galaxies in dynamically "old" groups have redder NUV-r colors, as they have likely experienced several tidal encounters in the past building up their stellar mass, and display lower sSFRs. We identify several late-type galaxies which have sSFRs and colors similar to those of elliptical galaxies, since they lost part of their gas due to numerous interactions with other group members. Also, 25% of the elliptical galaxies in these groups have bluer UV/optical colors than normal ellipticals in the field, probably due to star formation as they accreted gas from other galaxies of the group, or via merging of dwarf companions. Finally, our SED modeling suggests that in 13 groups, 10 of which are dynamically "old", there is diffuse cold dust in the intragroup medium. All this evidence point to an evolutionary scenario in which the effects of the group environment and the properties of the galaxy members are not instantaneous. Early on, the influence of close companions to group galaxies is similar to the one of galaxy pairs in the field. However, as the time progresses, the effects of tidal torques and minor merging, shape the morphology and star formation history of the group galaxies, leading to an increase of the fraction of early-type members and a rapid built up of the stellar mass in the remaining late-type galaxies.
16575. UV-UBV photometry in NGC 595

Title:
UV-UBV photometry in NGC 595
Short Name:
J/AJ/111/1128
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
As part of a larger effort to study the resolved and composite properties of the giant H II regions in Messier 33, we have analyzed multiband HST/WFPC-2 images of NGC 595 in terms of the ionizing cluster's resolved stellar population. Photometric reductions of the PC images yield 100 stars in the UV image, 272 stars on the U image, 345 stars on the B image, and 561 stars on the V image. A total of 267 stars are common to the U, B, and V images while 86 stars are detected on all 4 images. Although some clustering is evident, the degree of central concentration is less than that seen in 30 Doradus. The resulting U-B vs B-V diagram of the resolved stars is used to determine the reddening of each star. The average reddening derived from this diagram is E(B-V)=0.36+/-0.28mag. The dereddened color-M_V diagram is best fit by a model cluster having an age of 4.5+/-1.0Myr, and hence initial masses no greater than 51M_{sun}_. A total of 13 supergiant stars and 10 candidate WR stars [Drissen et al. (1993AJ....105.1400D), and references therein] are identified with M_V=-5 to -8mag. The remainder are main-sequence O-type (98) and early B-type (>145) stars with M_V=-1 to -6mag. The ratio of WR to O stars is WR/O=0.11+/-0.01, roughly the same as found in the core of 30 Doradus. The resulting luminosity function has a slope of alpha=-0.71. The derived IMF has a slope of Gamma=-1.32+/-0.02 before subtracting a background component, and Gamma=-1.00+/-0.05 after subtracting a background based on photometry of the surrounding WF images. Integration of the derived IMF down to a lower mass limit of 4M_{sun}_ yields a total mass of 7350M_{sun}_, while integration down to 0.1_{Msun}_ yields a total mass of 18000M_{sun}_. The total estimated ionizing luminosity is 5.0x10^50photon/s, roughly half that which is inferred from the Halpha luminosity in this region. This shortfall of ionizing photons can be reconciled by allowing for a spread in the stellar ages, and/or increasing the modeled EUV luminosity of the stars at the inferred cluster age.

Description:
Photometric variability is a distinctive feature of young stellar objects; exploring variability signatures at different wavelengths provides insight into the physical processes at work in these sources. We explore the variability signatures at ultraviolet (UV) and optical wavelengths for several hundred accreting and non-accreting members of the star-forming region NGC 2264 (~3Myr).
16577. UV variability of quasars

UV variability of quasars

Description:
Although the variability in the ultraviolet and optical domain is one of the major characteristics of quasars, the dominant underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. There is a broad consensus on the relationship between the strength of the variability and such quantities as time-lag, wavelength, luminosity, and redshift. However, evidence on a dependence on the fundamental parameters of the accretion process is still inconclusive. This paper is focused on the correlation between the ultraviolet quasar long-term variability and the accretion rate.

Title:
UV variability with GALEX gPhoton archive. I.
Short Name:
J/ApJS/238/25
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
In order to develop and test a methodology to search for UV variability over the entire Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) database down to the shortest timescales, we analyzed time-domain photometry of ~5000 light curves of ~300 bright (mFUV, mNUV<=14) and blue (mFUV-mNUV<0) GALEX sources. Using the gPhoton database tool, we discovered and characterized instrumentally induced variabilities in time-resolved GALEX photometry that may severely impact automated searches for short-period variations. The most notable artifact is a quasi-sinusoidal variation mimicking light curves typical of pulsators, seen occasionally in either one or both detectors, with amplitudes of up to 0.3mag and periods corresponding to the periodicity of the spiral dithering pattern used during the observation (P~120s). Therefore, the artifact may arise from small-scale response variations. Other artifacts include visit-long "sagging" or "hump" in flux, occurring when the dithering pattern is not a spiral, or a one-time change in flux level during the exposure. These instrumentally caused variations were not reported before, and are not due to known (and flagged) artifacts such as hotspots, which can be easily eliminated. To characterize the frequency and causality of such artifacts, we apply Fourier transform analysis to both light curves and dithering patterns, and examine whether artificial brightness variations correlate with visit or instrumental parameters. Artifacts do not correlate with source position on the detector. We suggest methods to identify artifact variations and to correct them when possible.

Description:
We have extracted point-spread-function-fitted stellar photometry from near-ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared images, obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope, of the nearby (D~5.5Mpc) SBm galaxy NGC 1311. The ultraviolet and optical data reveal a population of hot main-sequence (MS) stars with ages of 2-10Myr. We also find populations of blue supergiants with ages between 10 and 40Myr and red supergiants with ages between 10 and 100Myr.
16580. UV/X-ray activity of M dwarfs within 10pc

Title:
UV/X-ray activity of M dwarfs within 10pc
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/431/2063
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
M dwarfs are the most numerous stars in the Galaxy. They are characterized by strong magnetic activity. The ensuing high-energy emission is crucial for the evolution of their planets and the eventual presence of life on them. We systematically study the X-ray and ultraviolet emission of a subsample of M dwarfs from a recent proper-motion survey, selecting all M dwarfs within 10pc to obtain a nearly volume-limited sample (~90 percent completeness). Archival ROSAT, XMM-Newton and GALEX data are combined with published spectroscopic studies of H{alpha} emission and rotation to obtain a broad picture of stellar activity on M dwarfs. We make use of synthetic model spectra to determine the relative contributions of photospheric and chromospheric emission to the ultraviolet flux. We also analyse the same diagnostics for a comparison sample of young M dwarfs in the TW Hya association (~10Myr). We find that generally the emission in the GALEX bands is dominated by the chromosphere but the photospheric component is not negligible in early-M field dwarfs. The surface fluxes for the H{alpha}, near-ultraviolet, far-ultraviolet and X-ray emission are connected via a power-law dependence. We present here for the first time such flux-flux relations involving broad-band ultraviolet emission for M dwarfs. Activity indices are defined as flux ratio between the activity diagnostic and the bolometric flux of the star in analogy to the CaII R'HK index. For given spectral type, these indices display a spread of 2-3dex which is largest for M4 stars. Strikingly, at mid-M spectral types, the spread of rotation rates is also at its highest level. The mean activity index for fast rotators, likely representing the saturation level, decreases from X-rays over the FUV to the NUV band and H{alpha}, i.e. the fractional radiation output increases with atmospheric height. The comparison to the ultraviolet and X-ray properties of TWHya members shows a drop of nearly three orders of magnitude for the luminosity in these bands between ~10Myr and few Gyr age. A few young field dwarfs (<1Gyr) in the 10-pc sample bridge the gap indicating that the drop in magnetic activity with age is a continuous process. The slope of the age decay is steeper for the X-ray than for the UV luminosity.
