621. ALFALFA extragalactic HI source catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/861/49
Title:
ALFALFA extragalactic HI source catalog
Short Name:
J/ApJ/861/49
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the catalog of ~31500 extragalactic HI line sources detected by the completed Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey out to z<0.06, including both high signal-to-noise ratio (>6.5) detections and ones of lower quality that coincide in both position and recessional velocity with galaxies of known redshift. We review the observing technique, data reduction pipeline, and catalog construction process, focusing on details of particular relevance to understanding the catalog's compiled parameters. We further describe and make available the digital HI line spectra associated with the cataloged sources. In addition to the extragalactic HI line detections, we report nine confirmed OH megamasers (OHMs) and 10 OHM candidates at 0.16<z<0.22 whose OH line signals are redshifted into the ALFALFA frequency band. Because of complexities in data collection and processing associated with the use of a feed-horn array on a complex single-dish antenna in the terrestrial radio frequency interference environment, we also present a list of suggestions and caveats for consideration by users of the ALFALFA extragalactic catalog for future scientific investigations.
622. ALFALFA survey: the {alpha}.40 HI source catalog

ALFALFA survey: the {alpha}.40 HI source catalog
Short Name:

Description:
We present a current catalog of 21cm HI line sources extracted from the Arecibo Legacy Fast Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFALFA) survey over ~2800deg^2^ of sky: the {alpha}.40 catalog. Covering 40% of the final survey area, the {alpha}.40 catalog contains 15855 sources in the regions 07h30m<RA<16h30m, +04{deg}<DEC<+16{deg}, and +24{deg}<DEC<+28{deg} and 22h<RA<03h, +14{deg}<DEC<+16{deg}, and +24{deg}<DEC<+32{deg}. Of those, 15041 are certainly extragalactic, yielding a source density of 5.3 galaxies per deg^2^, a factor of 29 improvement over the catalog extracted from the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey. In addition to the source centroid positions, HI line flux densities, recessional velocities, and line widths, the catalog includes the coordinates of the most probable optical counterpart of each HI line detection, and a separate compilation provides a cross-match to identifications given in the photometric and spectroscopic catalogs associated with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. Fewer than 2% of the extragalactic HI line sources cannot be identified with a feasible optical counterpart; some of those may be rare OH megamasers at 0.16<z<0.25. A detailed analysis is presented of the completeness, width-dependent sensitivity function and bias inherent of the {alpha}.40 catalog. The impact of survey selection, distance errors, current volume coverage, and local large-scale structure on the derivation of the HI mass function is assessed.

ALFA-ZOA precursor observation
Short Name:

Publisher:

Description:
The Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA) is being used to conduct a low-Galactic latitude survey, to map the distribution of galaxies and large-scale structures behind the Milky Way through detection of galaxies' neutral hydrogen (HI) 21cm emission. This Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) survey finds new HI galaxies which lie hidden behind the Milky Way, and also provides redshifts for partially obscured galaxies known at other wavelengths. Before the commencement of the full survey, two low-latitude precursor regions were observed, totaling 138deg^2^, with 72 HI galaxies detected. Detections through the inner Galaxy generally have no cataloged counterparts in any other waveband, due to the heavy extinction and stellar confusion. Detections through the outer Galaxy are more likely to have Two Micron All Sky Survey counterparts. We present the results of these precursor observations, including a catalog of the detected galaxies, with their HI parameters.

Description:
The Arecibo L-band Feed Array Zone of Avoidance (ALFAZOA) Shallow Survey is a blind H I survey of the extragalactic sky behind the northern Milky Way conducted with the ALFA receiver on the 305 m Arecibo Radio Telescope. ALFAZOA Shallow covered 900 square degrees at full sensitivity from 30{deg}=<l=<75{deg} and |b|=<10{deg} and an additional 460 square degrees at limited sensitivity at latitudes up to 20{deg}. It has an rms sensitivity of 5-7 mJy and a velocity resolution of 9-20.6 km/s, and detected 403 galaxies out to a recessional velocity of 12000 km/s, with an angular resolution of 3.4' and a positional accuracy between 0.2' and 1.7'. The survey is complete above an integrated line flux of F_HI_=2.0 Jy km/s for half the survey, and above F_HI_= 2.8 Jy km/s for the other half. Of the ALFAZOA H I detections, 43% have at least one possible optical/near-infrared counterpart in the literature, and an additional 16% have counterparts that only included previous H I measurements. There are fewer counterparts in regions of high extinction and for galaxies with lower H I mass. Comparing the results of the survey to the predictions of Erdogdu et al. (2006MNRAS.373...45E), and using their nomenclature, ALFAZOA confirms the position and extent in the ZOA of the C7, C{zeta}, Pegasus, Corona Borealis, and Delphinus structures, but not of the Cygnus void. Two new structures are identified, both connected to the C7 overdensity; one extends to 35{deg}, and the other crosses the ZOA.

Description:
The U.S. Naval Observatory is in the process of making new reductions of the Astrographic Catalogue (AC) using a modern reference system, the ACRS, which represents the system of the FK5. The data from the Algiers Zone, whose plates are centered between declinations -2 and +4 degrees (eq. 1900), have been analyzed for scale, rotation, tilt, coma, magnitude equation, radial distortion and distortions introduced by the use of reseaux in the Carte du Ciel program. The result is a positional catalog of over 199,000 stars on eq. J2000.0, epoch of observation. The plate were exposed between 1891 and 1912. For cross-identification purposes, all stars have been matched with the Tycho Input Catalog (revised); those numbers have been added to each record.

Title:
Algol-type binaries. VIII. DI Peg & AF Gem
Short Name:
J/AJ/147/145
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
New extensive photometry for two triple binary stars, DI Peg and AF Gem, was performed from 2012 October to 2013 January, with two small telescopes at Xinglong station (XLs) of NAOC. From new multi-color observations and previously published ones in literature, the photometric models were (re)deduced using the updated Wilson-Devinney code. The results indicated that the low third lights exist in two classic Algol-type binaries, whose fill-out factors for the more massive components are f_p_=78.2(+/-0.4)% for DI Peg, and f_p_=69.0(+/-0.3)% for AF Gem, respectively. Through analyzing the O-C curves, the orbital periods for two binaries change in the complicated mode. The period of DI Peg possibly appears to show two light-time orbits, whose modulated periods are P_3_=54.6(+/-0.5)yr and P_4_=23.0(+/-0.6)yr, respectively. The inferred minimum masses for the inner and outer sub-stellar companions are M_in_=0.095M_{sun}_ and M_out_=0.170M_{sun}_, respectively. Therefore, DI Peg may be a quadruple star. The orbital period of AF Gem appears to show a continuous period decrease or a cyclic variation; the latter may be preferable. The cyclic oscillation, with a period of 120.3(+/-2.5)yr, may be attributed to the light-time effect due to the third body. This kind of additional companion may extract angular momentum from the central system, which may play a key role in the evolution of the binary.

Title:
Algol-type eclipsing binaries differential photometry
Short Name:

Publisher:

Description:
We present the results of a systematic search for pulsating components in Algol-type eclipsing binary systems. A total number of 14 eclipsing binaries with A-F spectral type primary components were observed for 22 nights. We confirmed small-amplitude oscillating features of a recently detected pulsator TW Dra, which has a pulsating period of 0.053-day and a semi-amplitude of about 5-mmag in B-passband. We discovered new pulsating components in two eclipsing binaries of RX Hya and AB Per. The primary component of RX Hya is pulsating with a dominant period of 0.052-day and a semi-amplitude of about 7-mmag. AB Per has also a pulsating component with a period of 0.196-day and a semi-amplitude of about 10-mmag in B-passband. We suggest that these two new pulsators are members of the newly introduced group of mass-accreting pulsating stars in semi-detached Algol-type eclipsing binary systems.
628. ALHAMBRA fields type-I AGN with ELDAR

Title:
ALHAMBRA fields type-I AGN with ELDAR
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/472/2085
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present ELDAR, a new method that exploits the potential of medium- and narrow-band filter surveys to securely identify active galactic nuclei (AGN) and determine their redshifts. Our methodology improves on traditional approaches by looking for AGN emission lines expected to be identified against the continuum, thanks to the width of the filters. To assess its performance, we apply ELDAR to the data of the ALHAMBRA survey, which covered an effective area of 2.38deg^2^ with 20 contiguous medium-band optical filters down to F814W=24.5. Using two different configurations of ELDAR in which we require the detection of at least 2 and 3 emission lines, respectively, we extract two catalogues of type-I AGN. The first is composed of 585 sources (79% of them spectroscopically-unknown) down to F814W=22.5 at z_phot_>1, which corresponds to a surface density of 209 deg-2. In the second, the 494 selected sources (83% of them spectroscopically-unknown) reach F814W=23 at z_phot_>1.5, for a corresponding number density of 176deg^-2^. Then, using samples of spectroscopically-known AGN in the ALHAMBRA fields, for the two catalogues we estimate a completeness of 73% and 67%, and a redshift precision of 1.01% and 0.86% (with outliers fractions of 8.1% and 5.8%). At z>2, where our selection performs best, we reach 85% and 77% completeness and we find no contamination from galaxies.

Description:
This data server provides access to the ALHAMBRA Final Catalogue. The ALHAMBRA (Advance Large Homogeneous Area Medium Band Redshift Astronomical) survey (Moles et al. 2008) has observed 8 different regions of the sky, including sections of the COSMOS, DEEP2, ELAIS, GOODS-N, SDSS and Groth fields using a new photometric system with 20 contiguous, non-overlapping, equal width (~ 300A) filters, covering the optical range (3500A-9700A), plus the standard broadband NIR J, H and Ks filters. The observations were carried out with the Calar Alto (CAHA) 3.5m telescope using the wide field, 0.25 deg2 FOV optical camera LAICA and the NIR instrument Omega-2000. The ALHAMBRA survey dataset represents a ~700hrs of total exposure time, gathered in between the 2005 and 2012.Further information on the project can be found at the ALHAMBRA web page.

Title:
ALHAMBRA photometric system
Short Name:
J/AJ/139/1242
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This paper presents the characterization of the optical range of the ALHAMBRA photometric system, a 20 contiguous, equal-width, medium-band CCD system with wavelength coverage from 3500{AA} to 9700{AA}. The photometric description of the system is done by presenting the full response curve as a product of the filters, CCD, and atmospheric transmission curves, and using some first- and second-order moments of this response function. We also introduce the set of standard stars that defines the system, formed by 31 classic spectrophotometric standard stars which have been used in the calibration of other known photometric systems, and 288 stars, flux calibrated homogeneously, from the Next Generation Spectral Library (NGSL). Based on the NGSL, we determine the transformation equations between Sloan Digital Sky Survey ugriz photometry and the ALHAMBRA photometric system, in order to establish some relations between both systems. Finally, we develop and discuss a strategy to calculate the photometric zero points of the different pointings in the ALHAMBRA project.
