- Description:
- We present the Bright SHARC (Serendipitous High-Redshift Archival ROSAT Cluster) Survey, which is an objective search for serendipitously detected extended X-ray sources in 460 deep ROSAT PSPC pointings. The Bright SHARC Survey covers an area of 178.6 deg^2^ and has yielded 374 extended sources. We discuss the X-ray data reduction, the candidate selection and present results from our on-going optical follow-up campaign. The optical follow-up concentrates on the brightest 94 of the 374 extended sources and is now 97% complete. We have identified 37 clusters of galaxies, for which we present redshifts and luminosities. The clusters span a redshift range of 0.0696<z<0.83 and a luminosity range of 0.065<L_X_< 8.3x10^44^ergs/s [0.5-2.0keV] (assuming H_0_=50km/s/Mpc and q_0_=0.5). Twelve of the clusters have redshifts greater than z=0.3, eight of which are at luminosities brighter than L_X_=3x10^44^ergs/s. Seventeen of the 37 optically confirmed Bright SHARC clusters have not been listed in any previously published catalog. We also report the discovery of three candidate "fossil groups" of the kind proposed by Ponman et al. (1994Natur.369..462P)

- Description:
- The Australia Telescope 20-GHz (AT20G) Survey is a blind survey of the whole southern sky at 20GHz (with follow-up observations at 4.8 and 8.6GHz) carried out with the Australia Telescope Compact Array from 2004 to 2007. The Bright Source Sample (BSS) is a complete flux-limited subsample of the AT20G Survey catalogue comprising 320 extragalactic (|b|>1.5{deg}) radio sources south of DE=-15{deg} with S_20GHz_>0/50Jy. Of these, 218 have near simultaneous observations at 8 and 5GHz. In this paper we present an analysis of radio spectral properties in total intensity and polarization, size, optical identifications and redshift distribution of the BSS sources.

- Description:
- Table1 contains the 130 brightest sources of a 230GHz survey of quasars and BL Lacertae objects performed at the SEST. The objects which showed a 230GHz flux density above500 mJy most of the time were selected as pointing sources. Name, coordinates (B1950) and type are given in the table. Due to the variability of many objects the minimum and maximum flux density at 230GHz is given as well. A few values are taken from literature. These data are marked with an asterisk.

- Description:
- We present a catalog of star clusters with V_F555W_<23mag detected in the interacting spiral galaxy M51 system based on mosaic images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys by the Hubble Heritage Team. We have selected about 3600 clusters based on their morphological information through visual inspection. The final star cluster catalog includes 2224 clusters that are relatively well isolated and have a circular shape.

- Bright Stars Supplement to PPM
- Short Name:

- Description:
- A number of bright stars is missing from the PPM Star Catalogue, both on the northern <I/146> and on the southern <I/193> hemisphere. The Bright Stars Supplement described here makes PPM complete down to V=7.5 mag. For this purpose it lists all missing stars brighter than V=7.6 mag that we could find in published star lists. Their total number is 275. Only 2 of them are brighter than V=3.5. This replaces the December 1992 edition (catalogue I/194) of the Bright Stars Supplement which inadvertently contained 46 duplicates of stars already contained in the main parts of PPM.

- Bright white dwarfs for high-speed photometry

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The upcoming NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will obtain space-based uninterrupted light curves for a large sample of bright white dwarfs distributed across the entire sky, providing a very rich resource for asteroseismological studies and the search for transits from planetary debris. We have compiled an all-sky catalogue of ultraviolet, optical and infrared photometry as well as proper motions, which we propose as an essential tool for the preliminary identification and characterization of potential targets. We present data for 1864 known white dwarfs and 305 high-probability white dwarf candidates brighter than 17mag. We describe the spectroscopic follow-up of 135 stars, of which 82 are white dwarfs and 25 are hot subdwarfs. The new confirmed stars include six pulsating white dwarf candidates (ZZ Cetis), and nine white dwarf binaries with a cool main- sequence companion. We identify one star with a spectroscopic distance of only 25pc from the Sun. Around the time TESS is launched, we foresee that all white dwarfs in this sample will have trigonometric parallaxes measured by the ESA Gaia mission next year.

- Short Name:

- Description:
- We cross-correlate several sources of archival photometry for 1265 bright (V~16mag) white dwarfs (WDs) with available high signal-to-noise spectroscopy. We find 381 WDs with archival Spitzer+IRAC data and investigate this subsample for infrared excesses due to circumstellar dust. This large data set reveals 15 dusty WDs, including three new debris discs and the hottest WD known to host dust (WD 0010+280). We study the frequency of debris discs at WDs as function of mass. The frequency peaks at 12.5 per cent for 0.7-0.75M_{sun}_ WDs (with 3M_{sun}_ main-sequence star progenitors) and falls off for stars more massive than this, which mirrors predicted planet occurrence rates for stars of different masses.

- 185 bright XMM-CDFS sources spectral properties
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/639/A51
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present X-ray spectra of 185 bright sources detected in the XMM-Newton deep survey of the Chandra Deep Field South, combining the three EPIC cameras. The 2-10keV flux limit of the sample is 2x10^-15^erg/s/cm^2^. The sources are distributed over a redshift range of z=0.1-3.8. Eleven new X-ray redshift measurements are included. A spectral analysis was performed using a simple model to obtain absorbing column densities, rest-frame 2-10keV luminosities and Fe K line properties of 180 sources at z>0.4. Obscured AGN are found to be more abundant toward higher redshifts. Using the XMM-Newton data alone, seven Compton-thick AGN candidates are identified, which makes the Compton-thick AGN fraction to be ~=4%. An exploratory spectral inspection method with two rest-frame X-ray colours and an Fe line strength indicator is introduced and tested against the results from spectral fitting. This method works reasonably well to characterise a spectral shape and can be useful for a pre-selection of Compton-thick AGN candidates.We found six objects exhibiting broad Fe K lines out of 21 unobscured AGN of best data quality, implying a detection rate of 30%. Five redshift spikes, each of which has more than six sources, are identified in the redshift distribution of the X-ray sources. Contrary to the overall trend, the sources at the two higher-redshift spikes at z=1.61 and z=2.57 have puzzlingly low obscuration.

- BRI light curves of 2MASS J02272637+1156494

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The star 1SWASP J022727.03+115641.7 was reported as a contact binary with a period shorter than the empirical limit of such systems. Our study shows the star not to be variable. Instead, it is the nearby star, 2MASS 02272637+1156494, that exhibits variability. The BRI CCD light curves of 2MASS 02272637+1156494 show the system to be a moderate mass ratio (2.154_-0.074_^+0.008^), and shallow contact (10.4_-1.9_^+1.4^%) W-type contact binary. The masses, radii, and luminosities of the binary components are, respectively, M_1_=0.25_-0.01_^+0.05^M_{sun}_, M_2_=0.54_-0.04_^+0.11^M_{sun}_, R_1_=0.45_-0.01_^+0.02^R_{sun}_, R_2_=0.63_-0.02_^+0.04^R_{sun}_, L_1_=0.038_-0.005_^+0.018^L_{sun}_, and L_2_=0.071_-0.010_^+0.037^L_{sun}_, with an estimated distance 326_-46_^+127^ pc. These uncertainties mainly come from the errors of the colors used to estimate the temperature of the primary star. A dark spot was introduced on the massive component in the final solution.
