- Description:
- We present first results of the Hamburg/SAO Survey for Emission-Line Galaxies (HSS therein, SAO - Special Astrophysical Observatory, Russia) which is based on the digitized objective-prism photoplates database of the Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS). The main goal of this survey is the search for emission-line galaxies (ELG) in order to create a new deep sample of blue compact galaxies (BCG) in a large sky area. Another important goal of this work is to search for new extremely low-metallicity galaxies. We present the first results of spectroscopy obtained with the 2.2m telescope at the German-Spanish Observatory at Calar Alto, and with the 6m telescope at the Russian Special Astrophysical Observatory. The primary ELG candidate selection criteria applied were a blue continuum (near 4000{AA}) and the presence of emission lines close to 5000A recognized on digitized prism spectra of galaxies with magnitudes in the range B =16.0-19.5. The spectroscopy resulted in the detection or/and quantitative spectral classification of 74 emission-line objects. Of them 55 are newly discovered, and 19 were already known as galaxies before. 11 of the latter have redshifts and are known ELGs. For most of the known galaxies emission line ratios were measured for the first time and an improved classification is presented. 47 objects are classified as BCGs, one as Sy2 galaxy, six as probable LINERs, and four as new QSOs. The remaining galaxies do not show significant H{beta} and [OIII]4959,5007{AA} emission lines, and are likely either low-ionization starburst or dwarf amorphous nuclear starburst galaxies.

- Description:
- This is a compendium of 623,004 type-I QSOs and AGN, largely complete from the literature to 15 June 2019 including SDSS-DR15 and LAMOST QSO DR5. Also included are approx 1.32M high-confidence (80%+ likelihood) quasar candidates from the NBCKDE, NBCKDE-v3, AllWISE, XDQSO & Peters photometric quasar catalogs (citations in Note 7 below) and from all-sky radio/X-ray associated objects which are calculated here. Type-II and Bl Lac objects are also included, plus galaxies with double radio lobes, bringing the total count to 1,986,800. Gaia-DR2 astrometry is used where available, amounting to ~63% of all objects. Changes from version 6.2 are: (1) Quasars added from publications to 15 June 2019, including 4LAC. (2) 3581 galaxies with double radio lobes are added as type=G because the lobes show that they have active nuclei of some kind, even if well hidden. (3) Positional fixes of a few arcsec were done for ~50 legacy objects. (4) Blazar candidates with neither redshift nor radio/X-ray association, about 30 objects, are dropped. Most were stated low confidence in legacy papers. Low-confidence/quality or questionable objects (so deemed by their researchers) are not included in Milliquas. Additional quality cuts can be applied as detailed in Flesch 2015,PASA,32,10. The aim here is to present one unique reliable object per each data row. The catalog format is simple, each object is shown as one line bearing the J2000 coordinates, its original name, object class, red and blue optical magnitudes, PSF class, redshift, the citations for the name and redshift, plus up to four radio/X-ray identifiers where applicable. This catalog can be cited as Milliquas v6.3 2019 update, Flesch E., 2015PASA...32...10F was the published version of this catalog as at 2015.

- Description:
- This is a compendium of 452,794 type-I QSOs and AGN, largely complete from the literature to 21 June 2016. Also included are ~900K high-confidence quasar candidates from SDSS-based photometric quasar catalogs (of 90%+ likelihood) and from all-sky radio/X-ray associated objects (of 80%+ likelihood). Type-II and Bl Lac objects are also included, bringing the total count to 1,422,219. This version is the same as v4.8 but with these changes: (1) The 3XMM-DR6 X-ray source catalog (www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/xsa) has been added and new X-ray associations calculated. (2) Radio/X-ray data have been reprocessed in line with that of the new Million Optical Radio/X-ray (MORX) associations catalogue, in preparation. The catalog format is simple, each object is shown as one line bearing the J2000 coordinates, its original name, object class, red and blue optical magnitudes, PSF class, redshift, the citations for the name and redshift, plus up to four radio/X-ray identifiers where applicable.

- Description:
- This is a compendium of 829666 type-I QSOs and AGN, largely complete from the literature to 30 April 2021 including SDSS-DR16 quasars and VLASS radio. Also included are 703348 candidates which are calculated as 60%-100% likely to be quasars, including 225051 which are radio/X-ray associated. Type-II and Bl Lac objects are also included, bringing the total count to 1573824. Gaia-DR2 astrometry is used where available, amounting to ~66% of all objects. Changes from version 7.1 are: (1) Quasars added from publications to 30 April 2021. (2) The VLASS Quick Look radio catalog is included, which adds 34189 new radio core associations and 6793 probable double radio lobe associations. (3) Ongoing audits of SDSS & LAMOST quasars have led to a few additions & drops. Some WISEA-supported SDSS/LAMOST pipeline quasars are now accepted which were otherwise marginal. Also some likely galaxies removed. Low-confidence/quality or questionable objects (so deemed by their researchers) are not included in Milliquas. Additional quality cuts can apply as detailed in the HMQ paper (Flesch, 2015PASA...32...10F). Full QSO/AGN classification is via spectral lines, thus hidden / occluded objects may be absent from Milliquas. Two NIQs offset <2-arcsecs can be reported as a single object if within the same host. The aim here is to present one unique reliable object per each data row. The catalog format is simple, each object is shown as one line bearing the J2000 coordinates, its original name, object class, red and blue optical magnitudes, PSF class, redshift, the citations for the name and redshift, plus up to four radio/X-ray identifiers where applicable.

- Description:
- This is a compendium of 607,208 type-I QSOs and AGN, largely complete from the literature to 5-August-2017, including the release of SDSS-DR14. Also included are ~1.35M high-confidence (80%+ likelihood) quasar candidates from the NBCKDE, NBCKDE-v3, XDQSO, AllWISE and Peters photometric quasar catalogs (citations in Note 7 below) and from all-sky radio/X-ray associated objects which are calculated here. Type-II and Bl Lac objects are also included, bringing the total count to 1,998,464. Changes from version 5.1 are: (1) SDSS-DR14 and SDSS-DR14Q have been added, using the processing rules from the Half Million Quasars catalog (HMQ: Flesch 2015PASA...32...10F). (2) WISE quasar candidates have been added from Secrest et al, 2015, Cat. J/ApJS/221/12; these are ~430K candidates over the whole sky for which 2-color optical objects were found within a 2-arcsec radius. They have been processed into pQSOs from calibration against the SDSS-DR12Q multi-class superset, and photometric redshifts obtained using the four-color based method from the HMQ appendix 2. The four colors used were B-R, R-W1, W1-W2 & W2-W3. (3) Type-II narrow emission-line galaxies, (NELGs, class='N') are added as the luminosity class corresponding to the type-I AGN galaxies. High-luminosity type-II NLAGN (class='K') correspond to the type-I quasars. The NLAGN/NELG divider is the same luminosity/psf function which separates QSOs from AGNs. Type-II NELGs include unquantified contamination by LINERs and probably a few starbursts which eluded removal, so it serves as a catch-all category presented for completeness, rather than as a strict type-II class. (4) Small publications to 5 August 2017 have been added. (5) Positional fixes (of about 2 arcsec) have been applied to ~150 objects. Low-confidence or questionable objects (so deemed by their researchers) are not included in Milliquas. Additional quality cuts can be applied as detailed in Flesch 2015PASA...32...10F). Multiple lensed images are excluded and only the brightest one kept. The aim here is to present one unique reliable object per each data row. The catalog format is simple, each object is shown as one line bearing the J2000 coordinates, its original name, object class, red and blue optical magnitudes, PSF class, redshift, the citations for the name and redshift, plus up to four radio/X-ray identifiers where applicable. This catalog can be cited as Milliquas, Flesch E., 2015PASA...32...10F which was the published version of this catalog as at 2015 after the release of SDSS-DR12.

- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- In this paper we continue our investigation on the isophotal nature, accuracy, and uniformity of the magnitude system adopted in the Southern Sky Redshift Survey extension (SSRS2). Extending our earlier work, we examine galaxies in the equatorial region, primarily in the declination range -17.5 deg <= Dec. <= 0 deg, over a large range of right ascension, covering the southern and northern Galactic caps. For this purpose, we have obtained CCD isophotal magnitudes in the B and R bands for 265 galaxies of different morphological types. Using this larger sample we confirm our earlier claim that the m(SSRS2) magnitudes are very nearly the magnitude measured within the isophote mu_B = 26 mag/arcsec^2, with a dispersion of about 0.30 mag. The relative zero-point offset between our m(SSRS2) magnitudes and CCD photometry is -0.02 mag from all data we have obtained. However, we detect a variation of the zero-point across different regions of the sky of +/- 0.10 mag for regions at large angular separations. We also estimate that the zero-point offset between the m(SSRS2) and Zwicky systems is relatively small (~0.10 mag), which should allow us to combine the data from the SSRS2 and the CfA2 Redshift Survey.

- Description:
- The USNO-B1.0 is a catalog that presents positions, proper motions, magnitudes in various optical passbands, and star/galaxy estimators for 1,045,913,669 objects derived from 3,648,832,040 separate observations. The data were taken from scans of 7,435 Schmidt plates taken from various sky surveys during the last 50 years. The catalog is expected to be complete down to V=21; the estimated accuracies are 0.2arcsec for the positions at J2000, 0.3mag in up to 5 colors, and 85% accuracy for distinguishing stars from non-stellar objects.

- The zCOSMOS 10k-bright spectroscopic sample
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/184/218
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present spectroscopic redshifts of a large sample of galaxies with I_AB_<22.5 in the COSMOS field, measured from spectra of 10644 objects that have been obtained in the first two years of observations in the zCOSMOS-bright redshift survey. These include a statistically complete subset of 10109 objects. The average accuracy of individual redshifts is 110km/s, independent of redshift. The reliability of individual redshifts is described by a Confidence Class that has been empirically calibrated through repeat spectroscopic observations of over 600 galaxies. There is very good agreement between spectroscopic and photometric redshifts for the most secure Confidence Classes. For the less secure Confidence Classes, there is a good correspondence between the fraction of objects with a consistent photometric redshift and the spectroscopic repeatability, suggesting that the photometric redshifts can be used to indicate which of the less secure spectroscopic redshifts are likely right and which are probably wrong, and to give an indication of the nature of objects for which we failed to determine a redshift. Using this approach, we can construct a spectroscopic sample that is 99% reliable and which is 88% complete in the sample as a whole, and 95% complete in the redshift range 0.5<z<0.8. The luminosity and mass completeness levels of the zCOSMOS-bright sample of galaxies is also discussed.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Period study of 321 fundamental mode RR Lyrae type stars (RRab), which had appropriate data in ASAS and SuperWASP surveys, was performed to complement and extend the list of known Blazhko stars in galactic field with bright stars up to 12.5 mag in maximum light. An individual approach was applied to each studied star. Permanent visual supervision was maintained to each procedure in data analysis (data cleaning, frequency spectra examination) to avoid missing any possible sign of the Blazhko effect. Period analysis was performed using Period04 software.
