- Description:
- We present a new catalog and images of interacting and merging galaxies obtained with morphological identification from Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope observations. We first used a morphological pattern recognition searching routine to select possible candidates, and then visually inspected the images of these candidates to identify true merging/interacting sources. We discover 15147 new pairs of merging galaxies within 422deg^2^ of Red Sequence Cluster Survey 2. Furthermore, we also find nine new candidates of galaxy clusters by searching for regions with significant density enhancements of merging galaxies. This catalog has the largest number of morphologically identified interacting and merging galaxies based on consistent searching criteria. These sources provide a uniform sample of merging galaxies for further photometric and spectroscopic studies of galaxy evolution.

- Description:
- We present a catalog of 9888 M, L and T dwarfs detected in the Pan-STARRS1 3{pi} Survey (PS1), covering three-quarters of the sky. Our catalog contains nearly all known objects of spectral types L0-T2 in the PS1 field, with objects as early as M0 and as late as T9, and includes PS1, 2MASS, AllWISE, and Gaia DR1 photometry. We analyze the different types of photometry reported by PS1 and use two types in our catalog in order to maximize both depth and accuracy. Using parallaxes from the literature, we construct empirical SEDs for field ultracool dwarfs spanning 0.5-12{mu}m. We determine typical colors of M0-T9 dwarfs and highlight the distinctive colors of subdwarfs and young objects. We combine astrometry from PS1, 2MASS, and Gaia DR1 to calculate new proper motions for our catalog. We achieve a median precision of 2.9mas/yr, a factor of ~3-10 improvement over previous large catalogs. Our catalog contains proper motions for 2405 M6-T9 dwarfs and includes the largest set of homogeneous proper motions for L and T dwarfs published to date, 406 objects for which there were no previous measurements, and 1176 objects for which we improve upon previous literature values. We analyze the kinematics of ultracool dwarfs in our catalog and find evidence that bluer but otherwise generic late-M and L field dwarfs (i.e., not subdwarfs) tend to have tangential velocities higher than those of typical field objects. With the public release of the PS1 data, this survey will continue to be an essential tool for characterizing the ultracool dwarf population.

- Catalog of M31 SNR candidates

- Description:
- We present a survey of optically emitting supernova remnants (SNRs) in M31 based on H{alpha} and [S II] images in the Local Group Survey. Using these images, we select objects that have [S II]:H{alpha}>0.4 and circular shapes. We identify 156 SNR candidates, of which 76 are newly found objects. We classify these SNR candidates according to two criteria: the SNR progenitor type (Type Ia and core-collapse (CC) SNRs) and the morphological type. Type Ia and CC SNR candidates make up 23% and 77%, respectively, of the total sample. Most of the CC SNR candidates are concentrated in the spiral arms, while the Type Ia SNR candidates are rather distributed over the entire galaxy, including the inner region. The CC SNR candidates are brighter in H{alpha} and [S II] than the Type Ia SNR candidates. We derive a cumulative size distribution of the SNR candidates, finding that the distribution of the candidates with 17<D<50 pc is fitted well by a power law with the power-law index {alpha}=2.53+/-0.04. This indicates that most of the SNR candidates identified in this study appear to be in the Sedov-Taylor phase. The [S II]:H{alpha} distribution of the SNR candidates is bimodal, with peaks at [S II]:H{alpha}~0.4 and~0.9. The properties of these SNR candidates vary little with the galactocentric distance. The H{alpha} and [S II] surface brightnesses show a good correlation with the X-ray luminosity of the SNR candidates that are center-bright.

- Description:
- We present a detailed (U-V) color-magnitude relation (CMR) analysis for three local (z<0.06) clusters of galaxies. From square-degree imaging of the Abell clusters A85, A496, and A754, we select 637 galaxies down to L~0.1L_V_^*^ with spectroscopic membership, which minimizes uncertain field contamination corrections.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a catalog of nearby exoplanets. It contains the 172 known low-mass companions with orbits established through radial velocity and transit measurements around stars within 200pc. We include five previously unpublished exoplanets orbiting the stars HD 11964, HD 66428, HD 99109, HD 107148, and HD 164922. We update orbits for 83 additional exoplanets, including many whose orbits have not been revised since their announcement, and include radial velocity time series from the Lick, Keck, and Anglo-Australian Observatory planet searches. Both these new and previously published velocities are more precise here due to improvements in our data reduction pipeline, which we applied to archival spectra. We present a brief summary of the global properties of the known exoplanets, including their distributions of orbital semimajor axis, minimum mass, and orbital eccentricity.

- Description:
- We present an all-sky catalog of 451 nearby galaxies, each having an individual distance estimate D<~10Mpc or a radial velocity V_LG_<550km/s. The catalog contains data on basic optical and H I properties of the galaxies, in particular, their diameters, absolute magnitudes, morphological types, circumnuclear region types, optical and H I surface brightnesses, rotational velocities, and indicative mass-to-luminosity and H I mass-to-luminosity ratios, as well as a so-called tidal index, which quantifies the galaxy environment. We expect the catalog completeness to be roughly 70%-80% within 8Mpc.

- Description:
- [OIII]5007 Angstroms on-band off-band images, obtained with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) and FORS2 spectrograph in two zones (center and outskirts) of the spiral galaxy NGC300, are analyzed searching for emission line objects. In particular we search for planetary nebula (PN) candidates to analyze their distribution and luminosity properties, to perform follow-up spectroscopy, and to study the planetary nebula luminosity function, PNLF. In the continuum-subtracted images, a large number of emission line objects were detected. From this sample we selected as PN candidates those objects with stellar appearance and no detectable central star. [OIII]5007 instrumental magnitudes were measured and calibrated by using spectrophotometric data from the follow-up spectroscopy.We have identified more than a hundred PN candidates and a number of compact HII regions. The PN sample is the largest one reported for this galaxy so far. For all the objects we present coordinates, instrumental [OIII]5007 magnitudes and apparent nebular [OIII]5007 fluxes and magnitudes. The [OIII]5007 observed luminosity function for PNe (PNLF) was calculated for the whole sample and for the central and outskirts samples. The three PNLF are similar within uncertainties. We fit the empirical PNLF to the observed PNLF for all the samples. From our best fit for the whole sample we derived a maximum value for the apparent magnitudes of m_star(5007)_=22.019+/-0.022 and we obtained a tentative estimate of the distance modulus m(5007)-M(5007)=26.29^+0.12^_-0.22_mag, which agrees well with the recent value derived from Cepheid stars.

- Description:
- We present a new accurate catalog of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) in the southern hemisphere from the Six-degree Field Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) final data release, which is currently the most extensive spectroscopic survey available in the southern sky whose database has not yet been systematically explored. We classified 167 sources as NLS1s based on their optical spectral properties. We derived flux-calibrated spectra for the first time that the 6dFGS does not provide. By analyzing these spectra, we obtained strong correlations between the monochromatic luminosity at 5100 Angstrom and the luminosities of H-beta and [OIII] lines. The central black hole mass and the Eddington ratio have average values of 0.86x10^7^M_{sun}_ and 0.96L_Edd_ respectively, which are typical values for NLS1s. In the sample, 23 (13.8%) NLS1s were detected at radio frequencies, and 12 (7.0%) of them are radio-loud. Our results confirmed that radio-loud sources tend to have higher redshift, a more massive black hole, and higher radio and optical luminosities than radio-quiet sources.

- Catalog of Optically selected cores

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a new catalog of 406 dense cores optically selected by using the STScI Digitized Sky Survey (DSS). In this catalog 306 cores have neither an embedded young stellar object (EYSO) nor a pre-main-sequence (PMS) star, 94 cores have EYSOs (one core has both an EYSO and a PMS star), and six cores have PMS stars only. Our sample of dense cores in the catalog is fairly complete within a category of northern Lynds class 5 and 6 clouds and southern Hartley et al. class A clouds, providing a database useful for the systematic study of dense cores. Most of the cores listed in the catalog have diameters between 0.05 and 0.36 pc with a mean of ~0.24pc. The sizes (~0.33pc in the mean) of cores with EYSOs are found to be usually larger than the sizes (~0.22pc in the mean) of starless cores. The typical mean gas density of the cores is ~7x10^3^cm^-3^. Most of the cores are more likely elongated than spherical (mean aspect ratio: ~2.4). The ratio of the number of cores with EYSOs to the number of starless cores for our sample is about 0.3, suggesting that the typical lifetime of starless cores is 0.3-1.6Myr, about 3 times longer than the duration of the class 0 and class I phases. This lifetime is shorter than expected from models of ambipolar diffusion, by factors of 2-44.
