- Description:
- The Catalog and Atlas of Cataclysmic Variables (Edition 1: Downes & Shara; Edition 2: Downes, Webbink, & Shara) has been a valuable source of information for the cataclysmic variable community. However, the goal of having a central location for all objects is slowly being lost as each new edition is generated. There can also be a long time delay between new information becoming available on an object and its publication in the catalog. To eliminate these concerns, as well as to make the catalog more accessible, we have created a Web site which will contain a "living" edition of the catalog. We have also added orbital period information, as well as finding charts for novae, to the catalog. This catalogue supersedes the previous versions of 1997 (Cat. <V/94>) and 1993 (Cat. <V/79>)

- Catalog of central stellar velocity dispersions
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/183/1
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present new central stellar velocity dispersion measurements for 428 galaxies in the Palomar spectroscopic survey of bright, northern galaxies. Of these, 142 have no previously published measurements, most being relatively late-type systems with low velocity dispersions (<~100km/s). We provide updates to a number of literature dispersions with large uncertainties. Our measurements are based on a direct pixel-fitting technique that can accommodate composite stellar populations by calculating an optimal linear combination of input stellar templates. The original Palomar survey data were taken under conditions that are not ideally suited for deriving stellar velocity dispersions for galaxies with a wide range of Hubble types. We describe an effective strategy to circumvent this complication and demonstrate that we can still obtain reliable velocity dispersions for this sample of well-studied nearby galaxies.

- Catalog of Chandra ACIS point like sources
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The Chandra archival data is a valuable resource for various studies on different X-ray astronomy topics. In this paper, we utilize this wealth of information and present a uniformly processed data set, which can be used to address a wide range of scientific questions. The data analysis procedures are applied to 10029 Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer observations, which produces 363530 source detections belonging to 217828 distinct X-ray sources. This number is twice the size of the Chandra Source Catalog (Version 1.1). The catalogs in this paper provide abundant estimates of the detected X-ray source properties, including source positions, counts, colors, fluxes, luminosities, variability statistics, etc. Cross-correlation of these objects with galaxies shows that 17828 sources are located within the D_25_ isophotes of 1110 galaxies, and 7504 sources are located between the D_25_ and 2D_25_ isophotes of 910 galaxies. Contamination analysis with the log N-log S relation indicates that 51.3% of objects within 2D_25_ isophotes are truly relevant to galaxies, and the "net" source fraction increases to 58.9%, 67.3%, and 69.1% for sources with luminosities above 10^37^, 10^38^, and 10^39^erg/s, respectively. Among the possible scientific uses of this catalog, we discuss the possibility of studying intra-observation variability, inter-observation variability, and supersoft sources (SSSs). About 17092 detected sources above 10 counts are classified as variable in individual observation with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) criterion (P_K-S_<0.01). There are 99647 sources observed more than once and 11843 sources observed 10 times or more, offering us a wealth of data with which to explore the long-term variability. There are 1638 individual objects (~2350 detections) classified as SSSs. As a quite interesting subclass, detailed studies on X-ray spectra and optical spectroscopic follow-up are needed to categorize these SSSs and pinpoint their properties. In addition, this survey can enable a wide range of statistical studies, such as X-ray activity in different types of stars, X-ray luminosity functions in different types of galaxies, and multi-wavelength identification and classification of different X-ray populations.

- Catalog of Class I methanol masers
- Short Name:
- J/AZh/84/579
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A catalog of class I methanol masers discovered so far in the Southern and Northern hemispheres is presented. The catalog contains 160 sources. A statistical analysis shows that, within 2' of the telescope pointing (which corresponds approximately to the field of view of single antennas used in search surveys), 50% of class I methanol masers are associated with objects characteristic of active starforming regions: IRAS sources, ultracompact HII regions, and dense gas dust clouds, as well as OH and H2O interstellar masers. At the same time, bipolar out flows (which could play an active part in pumping the methanol masers) are associated with fewer than 25% of class I methanol masers. In 72% of cases, class I methanol masers are associated with class II methanol maser sources. These results suggest that methanol maser condensations are more appropriately classified by the transition type (that is, the pumping mechanism) than their association with other astronomical objects.

- Catalog of clusters of galaxies from SDSS
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/148/243
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a catalog of 799 clusters of galaxies in the redshift range z_est_=0.05-0.3 selected from ~400deg^2^ of early Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) commissioning data along the celestial equator. The catalog is based on merging two independent selection methods - a color-magnitude red-sequence maxBCG technique (B), and a hybrid matched filter method (H). The BH catalog includes clusters with richness {Lambda}>=40 (matched filter) and Ngal>=13 (maxBCG), corresponding to typical velocity dispersion of {sigma}_v_>~400km/s and mass (within 0.6h^-1^Mpc radius) >~5x10^13^h^-1^M_{sun}_. This threshold is below Abell richness class 0 clusters. The average space density of these clusters is 2x10^-5^h^3^/Mpc^3^. All NORAS (<J/ApJS/129/435>) X-ray clusters and 53 of the 58 Abell clusters in the survey region are detected in the catalog; the five additional Abell clusters are detected below the BH catalog cuts. The cluster richness function is determined and found to exhibit a steeply decreasing cluster abundance with increasing richness. We derive observational scaling relations between cluster richness and observed cluster luminosity and cluster velocity dispersion; these scaling relations provide important physical calibrations for the clusters. The catalog can be used for studies of individual clusters, for comparisons with other sources such as X-ray clusters and active galactic nuclei, and, with proper correction for the relevant selection functions, also for statistical analyses of clusters.

- Description:
- A homogeneous photometry catalog is presented for 450 galaxies with B25.5 <= 16 mag located in the 9.8 x 9.8 deg region centred on the Coma Cluster. The catalog is based on photographic photometry using an automated surface photometry software for data reduction applied to B-band Schmidt plates. The catalog provides accurate positions, isophotal and total magnitudes, major and minor axes, and a few other photometric parameters including rudimentary morphology (early or late type).

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A catalogue of light curve solutions of contact binary stars has been compiled. It contains the results of 159 light curve solutions. Properties of contact binary stars were studied by using the catalogue data. As it is well known since Lucy's (1968ApJ...151.1123L, 1968ApJ...153..877L) and Mochnacki's (1981ApJ...245..650M) works, primary components transfer their own energy to the secondary star via the common envelope around the two stars. This transfer was parameterized by a transfer parameter (ratio of the observed and intrinsic luminosities of the primary star). We proved that this transfer parameter is a simple function of the mass and luminosity ratio. This newly found relation is valid for all systems except H type systems which have a different relation. We introduced a new type of contact binary stars: H subtype systems which have a large mass ratio (q>0.72). These systems show highly different behaviour on the luminosity ratio - transfer parameter diagram from other systems and according to our results the energy transfer rate is less efficient in them than in other type of contact binary stars.

- Catalog of cosmic voids from the SDSS-DR7
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/744/82
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Using a large sample of galaxies from the the seventh data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-DR7), we have analyzed the alignment of disk galaxies around cosmic voids. We have constructed a complete sample of cosmic voids (devoid of galaxies brighter than M_r_-5log h=-20.17) with radii larger than 10h^-1^Mpc up to redshift 0.12. Disk galaxies in shells around these voids have been used to look for particular alignments between the angular momentum of the galaxies and the radial direction of the voids. We find that disk galaxies around voids larger than >~15h^-1^Mpc within distances not much larger than 5h^-1^Mpc from the surface of the voids present a significant tendency to have their angular momenta aligned with the void's radial direction with a significance >~98.8% against the null hypothesis. The strength of this alignment is dependent on the void's radius and for voids with a radius >~15h^-1^Mpc the distribution of the orientation of the galaxies is compatible with a random distribution. Finally, we find that this trend observed in the alignment of galaxies is similar to the one observed for the minor axis of dark matter halos around cosmic voids found in cosmological simulations, suggesting a possible link in the evolution of both components.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a catalog of Chandra Source Catalog 2.0 sources cross-matched with SDSS DR15/16 counterparts. The crossmatch is performed with a Bayesian method developed by Budavari & Szalay (2008ApJ...679..301B) as implemented and extended by A. Rots (2020, https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/XmatchQuickSummary.pdf) that takes into account local source density as well as both error ellipses and raw-size ellipses of the sources (for more details, see https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/XmatchQuickSummary.pdf). CSC2.0 sources are extracted from the CSC2.0 "Master Source" table (https://cxc.harvard.edu/csc/columns/master_alpha.html), while SDSS DR15 are from the "Star" or "Galaxy" views. For each crossmatched source pair the match probability, match type and match grade are provided. In addition, ambiguous matches are explicitly called out and provided in separate published tables. The lists of ambiguous matches can be found in the following files: https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/CSC2-SDSSDR15SG_AmbiguousXmatch.txt https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/SDSSDR15SG-CSC2_AmbiguousXmatch.txt and a simple readme file is located at: https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/AmbiguousXmatch.readme
