Title:
Central Molecular Zone H2CO temperature maps
Short Name:

Description:
The Galactic center is the closest region in which we can study star formation under extreme physical conditions like those in high-redshift galaxies. We measure the temperature of the dense gas in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) and examine what drives it. We have mapped the inner 300pc of the CMZ in the temperature-sensitive J=3-2 para-formaldehyde (p-H_2_CO) transitions. We use the 3_2,1_-2_2,0_/3_0,3_-2_0,2_ line ratio to determine the gas temperature in n~10^4^-10^5^cm^-3^ gas. We produce temperature maps and cubes with 30" and 1km/s resolution and publish all data in FITS form; they can be recovered from digital object identifier doi:10.7910/DVN/27601.

Description:
We present results from a high-resolution wide-field imaging observation of the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) in H^13^CO^+^ J=1-0 and SiO v=0, J=2-1 emission lines using the 45-m telescope at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory in order to depict the high-density molecular gas mass distribution and explore molecular gas affected by interstellar shocks. By using the clumpfind algorithm we identify 114 molecular clumps in the H^13^CO^+^ data cube.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
There are more than 3000 confirmed and probable known Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe), but central star spectroscopic information is available for only 13% of them. We undertook a spectroscopic survey of central stars of PNe at low resolution and compiled a large list of central stars for which information was dispersed in the literature. We present a catalogue of 492 confirmed and probable CSPN and provide a preliminary spectral classification for 45 central star of PNe. This revises previous values of the proportion of CSPN with atmospheres poor in hydrogen in at least 30% of cases and provide statistical information that allows us to infer the origin of H-poor stars. Based on data collected at the Complejo Astronomico El Leoncito (CASLEO), which is operated under agreement between the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientificas y Tecnicas de la Republica Argentina y Universidades Nacionales de La Plata, Cordoba y San Juan, Argentina.

Central stars of planetary nebulae in Gaia DR2

Description:
Accurate distance measurements are fundamental to the study of planetary nebulae (PNe) but they have long been elusive. The most accurate and model-independent distance measurements for galactic PNe come from the trigonometric parallaxes of their central stars, which were only available for a few tens of objects prior to the Gaia mission. The accurate identification of PN central stars (CSPNe) in the Gaia source catalogues is a critical prerequisite for leveraging the unprecedented scope and precision of the trigonometric parallaxes measured by Gaia. Our aim is to build a complete sample of PN central star detections with minimal contamination. We developed and applied an automated technique based on the likelihood ratio method to match candidate central stars in Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) to known PNe in the Hong Kong/AAO/Strasbourg H{alpha} (HASH) PN catalogue (Parker et al. 2016, 2016JPhCS.728c2008P), taking into account the BP-RP colours of the Gaia sources as well as their positional offsets from the nebula centres. These parameter distributions for both true central stars and background sources were inferred directly from the data. We present a catalogue of over 1000 Gaia sources that our method has automatically identified as likely PN central stars. We demonstrate how the best matches enable us to trace nebula and central star evolution and to validate existing statistical distance scales, and we discuss the prospects for further refinement of the matching based on additional data. We also compare the accuracy of our catalogue to that of previous works.

2477. Central surface densities in SPARC disk galaxies

Title:
Central surface densities in SPARC disk galaxies
Short Name:
J/ApJ/827/L19
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We use the Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves (SPARC) database to study the relation between the central surface density of stars {Sigma}_*_(0) and dynamical mass {Sigma}_dyn_(0) in 135 disk galaxies (S0 to dIrr). We find that {Sigma}_dyn_(0) correlates tightly with {Sigma}_*_(0) over 4dex. This central density relation can be described by a double power law. High surface brightness galaxies are consistent with a 1:1 relation, suggesting that they are self-gravitating and baryon dominated in the inner parts. Low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies systematically deviate from the 1:1 line, indicating that the dark matter contribution progressively increases but remains tightly coupled to the stellar one. The observed scatter is small (~0.2dex) and largely driven by observational uncertainties. The residuals show no correlations with other galaxy properties like stellar mass, size, or gas fraction.

Title:
Century Survey Galactic Halo Project. I.
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Century Survey Galactic Halo Project is a photometric and spectroscopic survey from which we select relatively blue stars (V-R<0.30mag) as probes of the Milky Way halo. The survey strip spans the range of Galactic latitude 35{deg}<b<88{deg}, allowing us to study the nature of populations of stars and their systematic motions as a function of Galactic latitude. One of our primary goals is to use blue horizontal-branch stars to trace potential star streams in the halo, and to test the hierarchical model for the formation of the Galaxy. In this paper we discuss spectroscopy and multipassband photometry for a sample of 764 blue stars in the Century Survey region. Our sample consists predominantly of A- and F-type stars. We describe our techniques for determination of radial velocities, effective temperatures, metallicities, and surface gravities. Based on these measurements, we derive distance estimates by comparison with a set of calibrated isochrones. We devote special attention to the classification of blue horizontal-branch stars, and compare the results obtained from the application of the techniques of Kinman et al. 1994, Cat. <J/AJ/108/1722>, Wilhelm et al. (1999, Cat. <J/AJ/117/2308>), and Clewley et al. (2002MNRAS.337...87C). We identify 55 blue horizontal-branch stars. Our large sample of stars also uncovers a number of unusual objects, including three carbon-enhanced stars, a late B-type star located 0.8kpc above the Galactic plane, and a DZ white dwarf.

Description:
We report the discovery of X-rays from both components of Cepheus A, East and West, with the XMM-Newton observatory. HH 168 joins the ranks of other energetic Herbig-Haro objects that are sources of T>=10^6^K X-ray emission. We detect 102 X-ray sources, many presumed to be premain-sequence stars on the basis of the reddening of their optical and IR counterparts.

Title:
Cep B/OB3 Star-Forming Region Chandra Point Source Optical/IR IDs Catalog
Short Name:

Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
The Cepheus B (Cep B) molecular cloud and a portion of the nearby Cep OB3b OB association, one of the most active regions of star formation within 1 kpc, have been observed with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) detector on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. The goals were to study protoplanetary disk evolution and processes of sequential triggered star formation in the region. Out of ~400 pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars selected with an earlier Chandra X-ray Observatory observation, ~95% are identified with mid-infrared sources and most of these are classified as diskless or disk-bearing stars. The discovery of the additional &gt;200 IR-excess low-mass members gives a combined Chandra+Spitzer PMS sample that is almost complete down to 0.5 * M&lt;sub&gt;sun&lt;/sub&gt; outside of the cloud, and somewhat above 1 * M&lt;sub&gt;sun&lt;/sub&gt; in the cloud. The X-ray observations of the Cep B/Cep OB3b region and their data analysis are described in detail by Getman et al. (2006, &lt;a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/163/306"&gt;CDS Cat. J/ApJS/163/306&lt;/a&gt;, HEASARC CEPBOB3CXO table). The 30 ks exposure was obtained on 2003 March 11.51-11.88 with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) detector on board the Chandra X-ray Observatory as part of the ACIS Instrument Team&#39;s Guaranteed Time Observations (ObsId No. 3502, P.I.: G. Garmire). The mid-IR observation of Cep B and Cep OB3b was obtained on 2007 February 18 with the IRAC detector on the Spitzer Space Telescope in the 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 micron channels. This was a General Observer project (program identification No. 30361; P.I.: J. Wang). This table contains the optical and infrared counterpart information on the 431 X-ray sources detected by Chandra. It does not contain the 224 IR-excess objects which were not detected as X-ray sources (listed in Table 3 of the reference paper) that are thought to be additional low-mass members of this complex. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2011 primarily based on &lt;a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/699/1454"&gt;CDS catalog J/ApJ/699/1454&lt;/a&gt; files table.dat and table 2.dat which list the optical and infrared counterpart information on the 431 X-ray sources detected by Chandra. The names and positions of these X-ray sources were taken from the Getman et al. (2006, ApJS, 163, 306) Catalog, which is available as the HEASARC Browse table CEPBOB3CXO.
