1481. Ba II strength of barium stars
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/319/881
Title:
Ba II strength of barium stars
Short Name:
J/A+A/319/881
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The absolute magnitude of barium stars has been obtained from kinematical data using a new algorithm based on the maximum-likelihood principle. The method allows to separate a sample into groups characterized by different mean absolute magnitudes, kinematics and z-scale heights. Three groups belonging to the disk population have been obtained. We give, for each star of these three groups, the probability P of belonging to each of them and the assignation to the most likely one (G). The first column gives an an identification number: for most of the stars HD numbers are given, otherwise BD numbers. The following two columns present the spectral type taken from the INCA database and the strength of the BaII line (I_Ba) taken from Lu catalogue (1991) <V/81>.
1482. Balmer break galaxies at z<1.5 star formation

Title:
Balmer break galaxies at z<1.5 star formation
Short Name:

CDS
Description:
We present a spectroscopic study of the properties of 64 Balmer break galaxies that show signs of star formation. The studied sample of star-forming galaxies spans a redshift range from 0.094 to 1.475 with stellar masses in the range 10^8^-10^12^M_{sun}_. The sample also includes eight broad emission line galaxies with redshifts between 1.5<z<3.0. We derived star formation rates (SFRs) from emission line luminosities and investigated the dependence of the SFR and specific SFR (SSFR) on the stellar mass and color. Furthermore, we investigated the evolution of these relations with the redshift. We found that the SFR correlates with the stellar mass; our data is consistent with previous results from other authors in that there is a break in the correlation, which reveals the presence of massive galaxies with lower SFR values (i.e., decreasing star formation). We also note an anticorrelation for the SSFR with the stellar mass. Again in this case, our data is also consistent with a break in the correlation, revealing the presence of massive star-forming galaxies with lower SSFR values, thereby increasing the anticorrelation. These results might suggest a characteristic mass (M_0_) at which the red sequence could mostly be assembled. In addition, at a given stellar mass, high-redshift galaxies have on average higher SFR and SSFR values than local galaxies. Finally, we explored whether a similar trend could be observed with redshift in the SSFR-(u-B) color diagram, and we hypothesize that a possible (u-B)_0_ break color may define a characteristic color for the formation of the red sequence.

Description:
The purpose of the catalogue is to collect the photometric determination of the Balmer line-strength. Eleven different systems, including the measurements of one or more lines, from H{alpha} to H{delta}, have been found when surveying the literature. These include alpha, beta, gamma, alpha,beta, beta,gamma, and alpha,beta,gamma from various authors. The Stroemgren H{beta} photometry is not not included in this version.
1484. BAL QSOs from SDSS DR3
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/165/1
Title:
BAL QSOs from SDSS DR3
Short Name:
J/ApJS/165/1
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a total of 4784 unique broad absorption line quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Third Data Release (Cat. <VII/243>). An automated algorithm was used to match a continuum to each quasar and to identify regions of flux at least 10% below the continuum over a velocity range of at least 1000km/s in the CIV and MgII absorption regions. The model continuum was selected as the best-fit match from a set of template quasar spectra binned in luminosity, emission line width, and redshift, with the power-law spectral index and amount of dust reddening as additional free parameters. We characterize our sample through the traditional balnicity index and a revised absorption index, as well as through parameters such as the width, outflow velocity, fractional depth, and number of troughs.
1485. BAL QSOs in SDSS-DR5
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/692/758
Title:
BAL QSOs in SDSS-DR5
Short Name:
J/ApJ/692/758
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalog of 5039 broad absorption line (BAL) quasars (QSOs) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 (DR5) QSO catalog that have absorption troughs covering a continuous velocity range >=2000km/s. We have fitted ultraviolet (UV) continua and line emission in each case, enabling us to report common diagnostics of BAL strengths and velocities in the range -25000 to 0km/s for SiIV1400, CIV1549, AlIII1857, and MgII2799. We calculate these diagnostics using the spectrum listed in the DR5 QSO catalog, and also for spectra from additional SDSS observing epochs when available. In cases where BAL QSOs have been observed with Chandra or XMM-Newton, we report the X-ray monochromatic luminosities of these sources. We confirm and extend previous findings that BAL QSOs are more strongly reddened in the rest-frame UV than non-BAL QSOs, and that BAL QSOs are relatively X-ray weak compared to non-BAL QSOs.

Title:
B and R magnitudes for spiral galaxies
Short Name:

Description:
It is an observational fact that bulges of spiral galaxies contain a high fraction of old and metal-rich stars. Following this observational fact, we have investigated the colors of 21 bulges hosted by a selected sample of high surface brightness spiral galaxies and low surface brightness galaxies observed in the B and R optical bands and the J and Ks near-IR bands.
1487. B and V light curves of AA Tau
ID:

Title:
B and V light curves of AA Tau
Short Name:
J/A+A/463/1017
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
From a long time series of high resolution (R=115,000) HARPS spectra and simultaneous broad-band photometry, we report new evidence for magnetospheric accretion as well as ejection processes in the nearly edge-on classical T Tauri star AA Tau. AA Tau's light curve is modulated with a period of 8.22d. The recurrent luminosity dips are due to the periodic occultation of the central star by the magnetically-warped inner disk edge located at about 9R_{star}_. Balmer line profiles exhibit a clear rotational modulation of high-velocity redshifted absorption components with a period of 8.22-days as well, with a maximum strength when the main accretion funnel flow passes through the line of sight. At the same time, the luminosity of the system decreases by about 1mag, indicative of circumstellar absorption of the stellar photosphere by the magnetically-warped, corotating inner disk edge. The photospheric and HeI radial velocities also exhibit periodic variations, and the veiling is modulated by the appearance of the accretion shock at the bottom of the accretion funnel. Diagnostics of hot winds and their temporal behaviour are also presented. The peculiar geometry of the young AA Tau system (nearly edge-on) allows us to uniquely probe the accretion-ejection region close to the star. We find that most spectral and photometric diagnostics vary as expected from models of magnetically-channelled accretion in young stars, with a large scale magnetosphere tilted by 20{deg} onto the star's spin axis. We also find evidence for time variability of the magnetospheric accretion flow on a timescale of a few rotational periods.
1488. BANYAN All-Sky Survey (BASS) catalog. V. Nearby YMGs

Title:
BANYAN All-Sky Survey (BASS) catalog. V. Nearby YMGs
Short Name:
J/ApJ/798/73
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the BANYAN All-Sky Survey (BASS) catalog, consisting of 228 new late-type (M4-L6) candidate members of nearby young moving groups (YMGs) with an expected false-positive rate of ~13%. This sample includes 79 new candidate young brown dwarfs and 22 planetary-mass objects. These candidates were identified through the first systematic all-sky survey for late-type low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in YMGs. We cross-matched the Two Micron All Sky Survey and AllWISE catalogs outside of the galactic plane to build a sample of 98970 potential >=M5 dwarfs in the solar neighborhood and calculated their proper motions with typical precisions of 5-15mas/yr. We selected highly probable candidate members of several YMGs from this sample using the Bayesian Analysis for Nearby Young AssociatioNs II tool (BANYAN II, see Gagne+, 2014, J/ApJ/783/121). We used the most probable statistical distances inferred from BANYAN II to estimate the spectral type and mass of these candidate YMG members. We used this unique sample to show tentative signs of mass segregation in the AB Doradus moving group and the Tucana-Horologium and Columba associations. The BASS sample has already been successful in identifying several new young brown dwarfs in earlier publications, and will be of great interest in studying the initial mass function of YMGs and for the search of exoplanets by direct imaging; the input sample of potential close-by >=M5 dwarfs will be useful to study the kinematics of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs and search for new proper motion pairs.
1489. BANYAN III. RVel and rotation of low-mass stars
ID:

Title:
BANYAN III. RVel and rotation of low-mass stars
Short Name:
J/ApJ/788/81
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Based on high-resolution spectra obtained with PHOENIX at Gemini South, CRIRES at VLT-UT1, and ESPaDOnS at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, we present new measurements of the radial and projected rotational velocities of 219 low-mass stars. The target likely membership was initially established using the Bayesian analysis tool recently presented in Malo et al. (Paper I: 2013, J/ApJ/762/88), taking into account only the position, proper motion, and photometry of the stars to assess their membership probability. In the present study, we include radial velocity as an additional input to our analysis, and in doing so we confirm the high membership probability for 130 candidates: 27 in {beta} Pictoris, 22 in Tucana-Horologium, 25 in Columba, 7 in Carina, 18 in Argus and 18 in AB Doradus, and 13 with an ambiguous membership. Our analysis also confirms the membership of 57 stars proposed in the literature. A subsample of 16 candidates was observed at 3 or more epochs, allowing us to discover 6 new spectroscopic binaries. The fraction of binaries in our sample is 25%, consistent with values in the literature. Of the stars in our sample, 20% show projected rotational velocities (vsin i) higher than 30 km/s and therefore are considered as fast rotators. A parallax and other youth indicators are still needed to fully confirm the 130 highly probable candidates identified here as new bona fide members. Finally, based on the X-ray emission of bona fide and highly probable group members, we show that for low-mass stars in the 12-120Myr age range, the X-ray luminosity is an excellent indicator of youth and better than the more traditionally used R_X_parameter, the ratio of X-ray to bolometric luminosity.

Title:
BANYAN II. Nearby young assoc. candidate members
Short Name:
J/ApJ/783/121
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present Bayesian Analysis for Nearby Young AssociatioNs II (BANYAN II), a modified Bayesian analysis for assessing the membership of later-than-M5 objects to any of several Nearby Young Associations (NYAs). In addition to using kinematic information (from sky position and proper motion), this analysis exploits 2MASS-WISE color-magnitude diagrams in which old and young objects follow distinct sequences. As an improvement over our earlier work (Malo+, 2013, J/ApJ/762/88), the spatial and kinematic distributions for each association are now modeled as ellipsoids whose axes need not be aligned with the Galactic coordinate axes, and we use prior probabilities matching the expected populations of the NYAs considered versus field stars. We present an extensive contamination analysis to characterize the performance of our new method. We find that Bayesian probabilities are generally representative of contamination rates, except when a parallax measurement is considered. In this case contamination rates become significantly smaller and hence Bayesian probabilities for NYA memberships are pessimistic. We apply this new algorithm to a sample of 158 objects from the literature that are either known to display spectroscopic signs of youth or have unusually red near-infrared colors for their spectral type. Based on our analysis, we identify 25 objects as new highly probable candidates to NYAs, including a new M7.5 bona fide member to Tucana-Horologium, making it the latest-type member. In addition, we reveal that a known L2{gamma} dwarf is co-moving with a bright M5 dwarf, and we show for the first time that two of the currently known ultra red L dwarfs are strong candidates to the AB Doradus moving group. Several objects identified here as highly probable members to NYAs could be free-floating planetary-mass objects if their membership is confirmed.
