- Description:
- We analyse optical and radio properties of radio galaxies detected in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The sample of radio sources is selected from the catalogue of Kimball & Ivezic (2008AJ....136..684K) with flux densities at 325, 1400 and 4850MHz, using Westerbork Northern Sky Survey, NRAO VLA Sky Survey and Green Bank 6cm radio surveys and from flux measurements at 74MHz taken from Very Large Array Low-Frequency Sky Survey (Cohen et al. 2006, Cat. VIII/79). We study radio galaxy spectral properties using radio colour-colour diagrams and find that our sample follows a single power law from 74 to 4850MHz.

- Description:
- The catalog contains a list of 412 faint galaxies selected for their apparent ultraviolet excess. The galaxies were selected from a 3-color (UBV) plate taken with the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope. The 14-inch-square plates cover an area of 30 square degrees centered on Kapteyn Selected Area 28. The catalog includes running numbers, coordinates, color codes, magnitude codes, morphologies, diameters, and notes. The catalogued galaxies were selected by eye from the Palomar Schmidt 3-color (UBV) plate PS24771, centered on Kapteyn Selexted Area 28 and taken by Usher under conditions of good seeing and transparency.

- Description:
- Interstellar extinction in ultraviolet is the most severe in comparison with optical and infrared wavebands and a precise determination plays an important role in correctly recovering the ultraviolet brightness and colors of objects. By finding the observed bluest colors at the given effective temperature and metallicity range of dwarf stars, stellar intrinsic colors, C_B,V_^0^, C_NUV,B_^0^, C_FUV,B_^0^, and C_FUV,NUV_^0^, are derived according to the stellar parameters from the LAMOST spectroscopic survey and photometric results from the GALEX and APASS surveys. With the derived intrinsic colors, the ultraviolet color excesses are calculated for about 25,000 A- and F-type dwarf stars. Analysis of the color excess ratios yields the extinction law related to the GALEX UV bands: E_NUV,B_/E_B,V_=3.77, E_FUV,B_/E_B,V_=3.39, and E_FUV,NUV_/E_B,V_=-0.38. The results agree very well with previous works in the NUV band and in general with the extinction curve derived by Fitzpatrick (1999PASP..111...63F) for R_V_=3.35.

- Description:
- We have selected spectra of 232 stars from the IUE archives for inclusion in an atlas intended for various uses but tailored especially for the study of stellar winds. The atlas covers the range in spectral types from O3 to F8. The full atlas covers the reduced and normalized high resolution spectra from the IUE long- and short-wavelength spectrographs. Here we discuss the selection of the stars and the data reduction, and we present in velocity units the profiles of lines formed in the stellar winds. The selected lines cover a wide range of ionizations, allowing a comparison of the profiles from different ions in the wind of each star and a comparison of the different wind lines as a function of spectral type and luminosity. We also present the basic data on the program stars to facilitate study of the dependence of wind features on stellar parameters such as luminosity, temperature, escape velocity, and v sin i. We provide an overview of the characteristic behavior of the wind lines in the H-R diagram. The complete spectra are available in digital form through the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS). We offer a description of the electronic database that is available through the ADS and guidelines for obtaining access to that database.

- Description:
- We present a sample of spectroscopically confirmed quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) with FUV-NUV color (as measured by Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) photometry, FUV band: 1344-1786{AA}, NUV band: 1771-2831{AA}) bluer than canonical QSO templates and than the majority of known QSOs. We analyze their FUV to NIR colors, luminosities, and optical spectra. The sample includes a group of 150 objects at low redshift (z<0.5), and a group of 21 objects with redshift 1.7<z<2.6.

- Ultraviolet Spectral Atlas of VV Cephei
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The first observations of the ultraviolet spectrum of the binary system VV Cep (M2Iab + B?) during total eclipse have been made with the HST. A rich emission-line spectrum is seen, with over two thousand emission features present. Shortward of 1600{AA}, a weak continuum presumably due to Rayleigh scattering of the hot component is present, strengthening markedly shortward of 1500{AA}. The continuum of the M supergiant becomes apparent longward of 2650{AA}. Numerous circumstellar and interstellar absorption features are also seen. We present an atlas of the spectrum from 1300-3160{AA} as observed near midtotality and at two epochs closer to egress, when gas surrounding the hot component has begun to emerge from eclipse and the flux on the short-wavelength edges of many emission lines has increased. This atlas has been annotated with line identifications. Circumstellar and interstellar absorption features seen out of eclipse remain in absorption during totality and are also annotated on the atlas. Well over 90% of the emission features have plausible identifications, but there are many blends. Only a few hundred features appear to be free enough from blending for useful measurement of the peak flux in the line. We present a list of these unblended features.

- Description:
- An ultraviolet atlas of the solar spectrum with a spectral resolution of 15mA in the region 1948-2000A is presented. It is the first part of the spectra recorded on the quiet Sun between 1900 and 2130A. Measurements were performed from a balloon-borne instrumentation flown at an altitude of 39km. The wavelength atlas with a list of about 550 lines has been synthesized from data at center of the Sun ({mu}=1) and at {mu}=0.89, smoothed out over an area of 30 arcsec. The wavelength scale is given with respect to the average solar spectrum. Tracings are presented at {mu}=0.89, with an intensity scale adjusted in absolute values on the level of the continuum near 2000A.

- Description:
- An ultraviolet survey of M31 has been carried out during 2017-19 with the UltraViolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) instrument on board the AstroSat Observatory. Here we analyze far- and near-ultraviolet (FUV and NUV) observations from the M31 UVIT survey, which covers a sky area of ~3{deg}x1{deg} with spatial resolution of ~1". The observations included six filter bands in the wavelength range of 120-280nm. The limiting magnitude (AB) in the FUV band (CaF2 filter), which has the largest number of detected sources, is ~23. The primary product of this work is the M31 UVIT point-source catalog containing positions and photometry. In total ~75000 sources were detected at FUV or NUV wavelengths.

- ULX candidates in luminous infrared galaxies

- Description:
- We present results from a Chandra study of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in a sample of 17 nearby (D_L_<60Mpc) luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs), selected to have star formation rates (SFRs) in excess of 7M_{sun}_/yr and low foreground Galactic column densities (N_H_<~5x10^20^cm^-2^). A total of 53 ULXs were detected and we confirm that this is a complete catalogue of ULXs for the LIRG sample. We examine the evolution of ULX spectra with luminosity in these galaxies by stacking the spectra of individual objects in three luminosity bins, finding a distinct change in spectral index at luminosity ~2x10^39^erg/s. This may be a change in spectrum as 10M_{sun}_ black holes transit from an ~ Eddington to a super-Eddington accretion regime, and is supported by a plausible detection of partially ionized absorption imprinted on the spectrum of the luminous ULX (L_X_~5x10^39^erg/s) CXOU J024238.9-000055 in NGC 1068, consistent with the highly ionized massive wind that we would expect to see driven by a super-Eddington accretion flow. This sample shows a large deficit in the number of ULXs detected per unit SFR (0.2 versus 2 ULXs, per M_{sun}_/yr) compared to the detection rate in nearby (D_L_<14.5Mpc) normal star-forming galaxies. This deficit also manifests itself as a lower differential X-ray luminosity function normalization for the LIRG sample than for samples of other star-forming galaxies. We show that it is unlikely that this deficit is a purely observational effect. Part of this deficit might be attributable to the high metallicity of the LIRGs impeding the production efficiency of ULXs and/or a lag between the star formation starting and the production of ULXs; however, we argue that the evidence - including very low N_ULX_/L_FIR_, and an even lower ULX incidence in the central regions of the LIRGs - shows that the main culprit for this deficit is likely to be the high column of gas and dust in these galaxies, that fuels the high SFR but also acts to obscure many ULXs from our view.
