Description:
Estimating stellar ages is important for advancing our understanding of stellar and exoplanet evolution and investigating the history of the Milky Way. However, ages for low-mass stars are hard to infer as they evolve slowly on the main sequence. In addition, empirical dating methods are difficult to calibrate for low-mass stars as they are faint. In this work, we calculate ages for Kepler F, G, and crucially K and M-dwarfs, using their rotation and kinematic properties. We apply the simple assumption that the velocity dispersion of stars increases over time and adopt an age-velocity-dispersion relation (AVR) to estimate average stellar ages for groupings of coeval stars. We calculate the vertical velocity dispersion of stars in bins of absolute magnitude, temperature, rotation period, and Rossby number and then convert velocity dispersion to kinematic age via an AVR. Using this method, we estimate gyro-kinematic ages for 29949 Kepler stars with measured rotation periods. We are able to estimate ages for clusters and asteroseismic stars with an rms of 1.22Gyr and 0.26Gyr respectively. With our Astraea machine-learning algorithm, which predicts rotation periods, we suggest a new selection criterion (a weight of 0.15) to increase the size of the McQuillan et al. catalog of Kepler rotation periods by up to 25%. Using predicted rotation periods, we estimated gyro-kinematic ages for stars without measured rotation periods and found promising results by comparing 12 detailed age-element abundance trends with literature values.

Description:
A catalogue of equivalent widths of H{gamma} measured by R.M. Petrie in the spectra of 1171 stars is presented. The catalogue represents a compilation of all the published and unpublished values available to us. It is shown that no systematic differences exist between the equivalent widths by Petrie and those currently being derived at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory.
2173. Catalog of high and low SB disk galaxies

Title:
Catalog of high and low SB disk galaxies
Short Name:
J/A+A/412/633

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have compiled and homogenized a sample of high and low SB disk galaxies with available photometry in the B and K bands, velocity line-widths and HI integral fluxes. Several parameters that trace the luminous, baryonic and dark matter contents were inferred. We investigated how these parameters do vary with different galaxy properties, and confronted the results with predictions of galaxy evolutionary models in the context of the {Lambda} Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) cosmogony. The fractions of dark, baryonic and luminous matter inside disk sizes (for observations and models) depend mainly on the disk surface density (or brightness). We have not found significant correlations of these fractions on galaxy scale or luminosity, contrary to what has been reported in previous works, based on the analysis of rotation curve shapes. We discuss this difference and state the importance to solve the controversy. The broad agreement between the models and observations presented here favors the LCDM scenario. However, the excess of dark matter inside the optical region of disk galaxies remains as the main difficulty.
2174. Catalog of High Angular Resolution Measurements

Title:
Catalog of High Angular Resolution Measurements
Short Name:
J/A+A/386/492
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Catalog of High Angular Resolution Measurements (CHARM) includes most of the measurements obtained by the techniques of lunar occultations and long-baseline interferometry at visual and infrared wavelengths, which have appeared in the literature or have otherwise been made public until mid-2001. A total of 2432 measurements of 1625 sources are included, along with extensive auxiliary information. In particular, visual and infrared photometry is included for almost all the sources. This has been partly extracted from currently available catalogs, and partly obtained specifically for CHARM. The main aim is to provide a compilation of sources which could be used as calibrators or for science verification purposes by the new generation of large ground-based facilities such as the ESO Very Large Interferometer and the Keck Interferometer.
2175. Catalog of high extinction clouds

Title:
Catalog of high extinction clouds
Short Name:
J/A+A/515/A42
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The earliest phases of massive star formation are found in cold and dense infrared dark clouds (IRDCs). Since the detection method of IRDCs is very sensitive to the local properties of the background emission, we present here an alternative method to search for high column density in the Galactic plane by using infrared extinction maps. We find clouds between 1 and 5kpc, of which many were missed by previous surveys. By studying the physical conditions of a subsample of these clouds, we aim at a better understanding of the initial conditions of massive star formation. We made extinction maps of the Galactic plane based on the 3.6-4.5 microns color excess between the two shortest wavelength Spitzer IRAC bands, reaching to visual extinctions of ~100mag and column densities of 9x10^22^cm^-2^. From this we compiled a new sample of cold and compact high extinction clouds. We used the MAMBO array at the IRAM 30m telescope to study the morphology, masses, and densities of the clouds and the dense clumps within them. The latter were followed up by pointed ammonia observations with the 100m Effelsberg telescope to determine rotational temperatures and kinematic distances. Extinction maps of the Galactic plane trace large scale structures such as the spiral arms. The extinction method probes lower column densities, N(H_2)~4x10^22^cm^-2^, than the 1.2mm continuum, which reaches up to N(H_2)~3x10^23^cm^-2^ but is less sensitive to large scale structures. The 1.2mm emission maps reveal that the high extinction clouds contain extended cold dust emission, from filamentary structures to still diffuse clouds. Most of the clouds are dark in 24 microns, but several show already signs of star formation via maser emission or bright infrared sources, suggesting that the high extinction clouds contain a variety of evolutionary stages. The observations suggest an evolutionary scheme from dark, cold and diffuse clouds, to clouds with a stronger 1.2mm peak and to finally clouds with many strong 1.2mm peaks, which are also warmer, more turbulent, and already have some star formation signposts.
2176. Catalog of High-Mass X-Ray Binaries in the Galaxy (Dynamic Version)

Title:
Catalog of High-Mass X-Ray Binaries in the Galaxy (Dynamic Version)
Short Name:
HMXBCAT2
Date:

Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) are a particular class of high-energy sources which require multi-wavelength observational efforts to be properly characterized. New identifications and refinement of previous measurements are regularly published in the literature by independent teams of researchers and could, once collected in a catalog, offer a tool to facilitate further studies on HMXBs. The authors aim to update on previous instances of catalogs of HMXBs in the Galaxy, and provide the community easy access to the most complete set of observables on Galactic HMXBs. On top of the fixed version that is available in VizieR, they also aim to host and maintain a dynamic version that can be updated upon request from users, and where any modification will be logged. Using previous catalogs of HMXBs supplemented by listings of hard X-ray sources detected in the past 20 years, the authors produce a base set of HMXBs and candidates by means of identifier and sky coordinate cross-matches. They query SIMBAD for unreferenced HMXBs. They search for as many hard X-ray, soft X-ray, optical and infrared counterparts to the HMXBs as we can in well-known catalogs and compile their coordinates. Each HMXB is subject to a meticulous search in the literature to find relevant measurements and their original reference. The authors provide a catalog of HMXBs in the Galaxy with their best known coordinates, companion star spectral type, systemic radial velocities, component masses, orbital period, eccentricity and spin period when available. This catalog also provides the coordinates and identifiers for each counterpart found from hard X-rays to near-infrared, including counterparts from the recent Gaia DR3 catalog. This catalog was created from data-mining the published literature. It takes into account information available through 2022. Values for binary parameters are joined with a reference in which the value was derived. Position data for which the authors have manually found a counterpart also have a specific reference; if not, then the data comes directly from the corresponding catalog. This database table was first created by the HEASARC in October 2023, based on the 2023-09 version of this catalog, found from the <a href="https://binary-revolution.github.io/HMXBwebcat/">Binary rEvolution website</a>. It is automatically updated in the HEASARC database within a few days of a new version being released on that website. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Title:
Catalog of High-Mass X-Ray Binaries in the Galaxy (4th Ed.)
Short Name:

Date:
21 Feb 2025
Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
This table contains the 4th edition of the Catalog of High-Mass X-Ray Binaries (HMXBs) in the Galaxy. The catalog contains source name(s), coordinates, finding charts, X-ray luminosities, system parameters, and stellar parameters of the components and other characteristic properties for 114 HMXBs, together with a comprehensive selection of the relevant literature. The aim of this catalog is to provide some basic information on the X-ray sources and their counterparts in other wavelength ranges (gamma-rays, UV, optical, IR, radio). About 60% of the high-mass X-ray binary candidates are known or suspected Be/X-ray binaries, while 32% are supergiant/X-ray binaries. Some sources, however, are only tentatively identified as high-mass X-ray binaries on the basis of their X-ray properties similar to the known high-mass X-ray binaries. Further identification in other wavelength bands is needed to finally determine the nature of these sources. In cases where there is some doubt about the high-mass nature of the X-ray binary this is noted. Literature published before 1 October 2005 has, as far as possible, been taken into account. Information on the numbers used to code references is available at the URL <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/455/1165/refs.dat">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/455/1165/refs.dat</a> Individual notes on each HMXB are available at the URL <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/455/1165/notes.dat">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/455/1165/notes.dat</a> This database was first created by the HEASARC in January 2001, based on the 2000 version of this catalog.

2178. Catalog of high proper motion stars
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/IV/28A
Title:
Catalog of high proper motion stars
Short Name:
IV/28A
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The database of stars with high-proper motions (more than 0.04"/year) has been compiled using original definitions from catalogue FONAK1.0, the data of catalogues Hipparcos, Tycho-2, CMC (STAR 11), PPM, NPM1, NLTT,GCVS, Lowell Proper Motion, Bruce Proper Motion as well as the data of about 725 other published sources. The list consist of 251000 such stars with limiting magnitude 16 (companions for multiple systems up to 17) in a declination zone from -2 to +90 degrees. Besides astrometric parameters (equatorial coordinates, proper motions, estimations of stars magnitudes) the database includes some astrophysical characteristics (magnitudes in UBVRI system, radial velocities, spectra, luminosity class, metallicity; flags of multiple system, of variable star and other). For convenience of usage original numbers of stars from different catalogues the author's lists of stars and basic sources are given too. At present the database includes codes of 56 catalogues and author's lists of stars. The cross index list is given by a file of 228397 stars arranged by right ascension. Star information is recorded in a digital integer form with one line. Thus maximum amount of star numbers from catalogues and author's lists does not exceed 10 (if more, the number of lines for star is increased by unit).
2179. Catalog of hot subdwarf stars
ID:

Title:
Catalog of hot subdwarf stars
Short Name:
J/A+A/600/A50
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
In preparation for the upcoming all-sky data releases of the Gaia mission we compiled a catalog of known hot subdwarf stars and candidates drawn from the literature and yet unpublished databases. By matching this catalog with astrometric and photometric data from the Gaia mission, we will develop selection criteria to construct a homogeneous, magnitude-limited all-sky catalog of hot subdwarf stars based on Gaia data.
2180. Catalog of hypervelocity candidate stars
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/150/77
Title:
Catalog of hypervelocity candidate stars
Short Name:
J/AJ/150/77
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
In this paper we analyze a sample of metal-rich (>-0.8dex) main sequence stars in the extended solar neighborhood, investigating kinematic outliers from the background population. The data, which are taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, are kinematically profiled as a function of distance from the Galactic plane using full six-dimensional phase space information. Each star is examined in the context of these kinematic profiles and likelihoods are assigned to quantify whether a star matches the underlying profile. Since some of these stars are likely to have been ejected from the disk, we trace back their orbits in order to determine potential ejection radii. We find that objects with low probability (i.e., "outliers") are typically more metal-poor, faster and, most importantly, have a tendency to originate from the inner Galaxy compared to the underlying population. We also compose a sample of stars with velocities exceeding the local escape velocity. Although we do not discount that our sample could be contaminated by objects with spurious proper motions, a number of stars appear to have been ejected from the disk with exceptionally high velocities. Some of these are consistent with being ejected from the spiral arms and hence are a rich resource for further study. Finally we look at objects whose orbits are consistent with them being ejected at high speeds from the Galactic center. Of these objects we find that one, J135855.65+552538.19, is inconsistent with halo, bulge and disk kinematics and could plausibly have been ejected from the Galactic nucleus via a Hills mechanism.
