Title:
Am stars candidates from LAMOST DR1
Short Name:

Description:
We present a sample of metallic-line star (Am) candidates from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Data Release One (DR1). According to the characteristic of underabundance of calcium and overabundance of iron element of Am stars, we propose an empirical separation curve derived from line indices of Ca ii K line and iron lines we choose for low-resolution spectra. Ultimately, 3537 Am candidates are selected from more than 30000 stars, which are classified as A-type or early F-type stars by both the LAMOST pipeline and visual inspection. Then, we carry out some analysis on this sample and finally provide a list of the Am candidates with 10 relevant parameters. Compared with other catalogues, Am candidates selected from the LAMOST DR1 are much fainter on the whole. Obviously, our list is an important complement to already known bright Am catalogues, and it offers valuable material for research on this type of chemically peculiar star.

AMUSE-Virgo survey. II.

Description:
We complete the census of nuclear X-ray activity in 100 early-type Virgo galaxies observed by the Chandra X-ray Telescope as part of the AMUSE-Virgo survey, down to a (3{sigma}) limiting luminosity of 3.7x10^38^erg/s over 0.5-7keV. The stellar mass distribution of the targeted sample, which is mostly composed of formally "inactive" galaxies, peaks below 10^10^M_{sun}_, a regime where the very existence of nuclear supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is debated. Out of 100 objects, 32 show a nuclear X-ray source, including 6 hybrid nuclei which also host a massive nuclear cluster as visible from archival Hubble Space Telescope images. After carefully accounting for contamination from nuclear low-mass X-ray binaries based on the shape and normalization of their X-ray luminosity function (XLF), we conclude that between 24% and 34% of the galaxies in our sample host an X-ray active SMBH (at the 95% confidence level). This sets a firm lower limit to the black hole (BH) occupation fraction in nearby bulges within a cluster environment.

AMUSING++ nearby galaxy compilation. I. Sample

Description:
We present here the All-weather MUse Supernova Integral-field of Nearby Galaxies (AMUSING++): the largest compilation of nearby galaxies observed with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) integral-field spectrograph so far. This collection consists of 635 galaxies from different MUSE projects covering the redshift interval 0.0002<z<0.1. The sample and its main properties are characterized and described here. It includes galaxies of almost all morphological types, with a good coverage in its color-magnitude diagram, within the stellar mass range between 10^8^ and 10^12^M{sun}, and with properties resembling those of a diameter-selected sample. The AMUSING++ sample is, therefore, suitable for studying, with unprecedented detail, the properties of nearby galaxies at global and local scales, providing us with more than 50 million individual spectra. We use this compilation to investigate the presence of galactic outflows. We exploit the use of combined emission-line images to explore the shape of the different ionized components and the distribution along classical diagnostic diagrams to disentangle the different ionizing sources across the optical extension of each galaxy. We use the cross-correlation function to estimate the level of symmetry of the emission lines as an indication of the presence of shocks and/or active galactic nuclei. We uncovered a total of 54 outflows, comprising ~8% of the sample. A large number of the discovered outflows correspond to those driven by active galactic nuclei (~60%), suggesting some bias in the selection of our sample. No clear evidence was found that outflow host galaxies are highly star-forming, and outflows appear to be found within all galaxies around the star-formation sequence.

Title:
An ALMA survey of ECDFS submillimeter galaxies
Short Name:
J/ApJ/788/125

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the first photometric redshift distribution for a large sample of 870 {mu}m submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) with robust identifications based on observations with ALMA. In our analysis we consider 96 SMGs in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South, 77 of which have 4-19 band photometry. We model the SEDs for these 77 SMGs, deriving a median photometric redshift of z_phot_=2.3+/-0.1. The remaining 19 SMGs have insufficient photometry to derive photometric redshifts, but a stacking analysis of Herschel observations confirms they are not spurious. Assuming that these SMGs have an absolute H-band magnitude distribution comparable to that of a complete sample of z~1-2 SMGs, we demonstrate that they lie at slightly higher redshifts, raising the median redshift for SMGs to z_phot_=2.5+/-0.2. Critically we show that the proportion of galaxies undergoing an SMG-like phase at z>=3 is at most 35%+/-5% of the total population. We derive a median stellar mass of M_*_=(8+/-1)x10^10^ M_{sun}_, although there are systematic uncertainties of up to 5x for individual sources. Assuming that the star formation activity in SMGs has a timescale of ~100 Myr, we show that their descendants at z~0 would have a space density and M_H_ distribution that are in good agreement with those of local ellipticals. In addition, the inferred mass-weighted ages of the local ellipticals broadly agree with the look-back times of the SMG events. Taken together, these results are consistent with a simple model that identifies SMGs as events that form most of the stars seen in the majority of luminous elliptical galaxies at the present day.

Analysis of B6-A9 stars from INES UV spectra
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Main-sequence (MS) and giant late-B and early-A type stars are the best targets for searching for nearby interstellar (IS) SiIV and CIV resonance lines because they are not able to produce them, either in atmospheric layers or in their circumstellar environment, and because many stars of these spectral types are nearby and located in the local interstellar medium (LISM). In addition, the use of certain stars hotter than B6 can lead to misinterpretations (e.g., alpha Arae). This work analyzes the reliable Short-Wavelength Prime (SWP) high-resolution UV spectra of 558 B6-A9 type stars observed by the International Ultraviolet Explorer at distances lower than 400pc from the Sun. For the first time, this work utilizes the entire INES database to extract stellar and IS information in a systematic way from homogeneous data. Stars were classified into seven groups: normal (MS and subgiant), giant, peculiar, emission line, Algols, pre-main sequence or Herbig Ae/Be, and shell stars. Only 10 normal stars, located beyond 90pc, show weak SiIV and CIV absorptions and are clustered around the direction of Sco-Cen, while 85 located closer than 90pc, as well as another 89 beyond 90pc, do not show any absorptions at all.

Analysis of broad-line regions in AGNs

Publisher:

Description:
A two-component model for the broad-line region (BLR) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) has been suggested for many years but not widely accepted. This model indicates that the broad line can be described with the superposition of two Gaussian components (very broad Gaussian component (VBGC) and intermediate Gaussian component (IMGC)) which are from two physically distinct regions, i.e., very broad line region (VBLR) and intermediate line region. We select a Sloan Digital Sky Survey sample to further confirm this model and give a detailed analysis of the geometry, density, and evolution of these two regions.

Analysis of Collinder 69 stars with VOSA

Description:
The physical properties of almost any kind of astronomical object can be derived by fitting synthetic spectra or photometry extracted from theoretical models to observational data. We want to develop an automatic procedure to perform this kind of fitting to a relatively large sample of members of a stellar association and apply this methodology to the case of Collinder 69. We combine the multiwavelength data of our sources and follow a work-flow to derive the physical parameters of the sources. The key step of the work-flow is performed by a new VO-tool, VOSA. All the steps in this process are done in a VO environment.

Title:
Analysis of Fermi GRB data. IV. Spectral lags
Short Name:
J/ApJ/865/153
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The spectral evolution and spectral lag behavior of 92 bright pulses from 84 gamma-ray bursts observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) telescope are studied. These pulses can be classified into hard-to-soft pulses (H2S; 64/92), H2S-dominated-tracking pulses (21/92), and other tracking pulses (7/92). We focus on the relationship between spectral evolution and spectral lags of H2S and H2S-dominated-tracking pulses. The main trend of spectral evolution (lag behavior) is estimated with logE_p_{propto}k_E_log(t+t_0_) (^{tau}{propto}k_^{tau}logE), where E_p_ is the peak photon energy in the radiation spectrum, t+t_0_ is the observer time relative to the beginning of pulse -t0, and ^{tau} is the spectral lag of photons with energy E with respect to the energy band 8-25keV. For H2S and H2S-dominated-tracking pulses, a weak correlation between k_^{tau}/W and kE is found, where W is the pulse width. We also study the spectral lag behavior with peak time t_pE_ of pulses for 30 well-shaped pulses and estimate the main trend of the spectral lag behavior with logt_pE_{propto}k_tp_logE. It is found that k_tp_ is correlated with kE. We perform simulations under a phenomenological model of spectral evolution, and find that these correlations are reproduced. We then conclude that spectral lags are closely related to spectral evolution within the pulse. The most natural explanation of these observations is that the emission is from the electrons in the same fluid unit at an emission site moving away from the central engine, as expected in the models invoking magnetic dissipation in a moderately high-{sigma} outflow.

Description:
To find out the astrophysical processes responsible for gamma-ray burst (GRB), it is crucial to discover and understand the relations between their observational properties. This work was performed in the GRB rest frames using a sample of 62 long Swift GRBs with known redshifts. Following the earlier analysis of the correlation between afterglow luminosity (L^*^a) and break time (T^*^a), we extend it to correlations between the afterglow and the prompt emission GRB physical parameters.

Analysis of hot Jupiters in Kepler Q2

Description:
In this paper, we present the results of searching the Kepler Q2 public data set for the secondary eclipses of 76 hot Jupiter planet candidates from the list of 1235 candidates published by Borucki et al., 2011, Cat. J/ApJ/736/19. This search has been performed by modeling both the Kepler pre-search data conditioned light curves and new light curves produced via our own photometric pipeline. We derive new stellar and planetary parameters for each system, while calculating robust errors for both. We find 16 systems with 1{sigma}-2{sigma}, 14 systems with 2{sigma}-3{sigma}, and 6 systems with >3{sigma} confidence level secondary eclipse detections in at least one light curve produced via the Kepler pre-search data conditioned light curve or our own pipeline; however, results can vary depending on the light curve modeled and whether eccentricity is allowed to vary or not. We estimate false alarm probabilities of 31%, 10%, and 6% for the 1{sigma}-2{sigma}, 2{sigma}-3{sigma}, and >3{sigma} confidence intervals, respectively.
