- Description:
- We present a new catalog of superclusters of Abell clusters out to a redshift of z_lim_=0.13, a catalog of X-ray clusters located in superclusters determined by Abell clusters, and a list of additional superclusters of X-ray clusters. We investigate the distribution of X-ray selected clusters of galaxies with respect to superclusters determined by Abell clusters of galaxies and show that the distribution of X-ray clusters follows the supercluster-void network determined by Abell clusters. We find that X-ray clusters are more strongly clustered than other clusters: the fraction of X-ray clusters is higher in rich superclusters, and the fraction of isolated X-ray clusters is lower than the fraction of isolated Abell clusters. Poor, non-Abell X-ray clusters follow the supercluster-void network as well: these clusters are embedded in superclusters determined by Abell clusters and populate filaments between them. This catalogue supersedes J/A+AS/123/119

- Description:
- We use the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey data to compile catalogues of superclusters for the Northern and Southern regions of the 2dFGRS, altogether 543 superclusters at redshifts 0.009<z<0.2. We apply the density field method using smoothing with an Epanechnikov kernel of radius 8Mpc. We derive positions of the highest luminosity density peaks and find the most luminous cluster in the vicinity of the peak, this cluster is considered as the main cluster and its brightest galaxy the main galaxy of the supercluster. In catalogues we give equatorial coordinates and distances of superclusters as determined by positions of their main clusters. We also calculate the expected total luminosities of the superclusters.

- Surface brightness profiles of NGC2784 group vs Virgo
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/859/5
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We investigate surface brightness profiles (SBPs) of dwarf galaxies in field, group, and cluster environments. With deep BVI images from the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network Supernova Program, SBPs of 38 dwarfs in the NGC 2784 group are fitted by a single-exponential or double-exponential model. We find that 53% of the dwarfs are fitted with single-exponential profiles ("Type I"), while 47% of the dwarfs show double-exponential profiles; 37% of all dwarfs have smaller sizes for the outer part than the inner part ("Type II"), while 10% have a larger outer than inner part ("Type III"). We compare these results with those in the field and in the Virgo cluster, where the SBP types of 102 field dwarfs are compiled from a previous study and the SBP types of 375 cluster dwarfs are measured using SDSS r-band images. As a result, the distributions of SBP types are different in the three environments. Common SBP types for the field, the NGC 2784 group, and the Virgo cluster are Type II, Type I and II, and Type I and III profiles, respectively. After comparing the sizes of dwarfs in different environments, we suggest that since the sizes of some dwarfs are changed due to environmental effects, SBP types are capable of being transformed and the distributions of SBP types in the three environments are different. We discuss possible environmental mechanisms for the transformation of SBP types.

- Surface photometry in 7 nearby clusters
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/387/26
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This is the first paper of a series investigating the scaling relations of early-type galaxies in clusters. Here we illustrate the multi-band imagery and the image reduction and calibration procedures relative to the whole sample of 22 clusters at 0.05<~z<~0.25. We also present detailed surface photometry of 312 early-type galaxies in 7 clusters (A1069, A119, A1983, A2151, A2670, A3125 and DC2103) in the first redshift bin, z=0.025-0.075. We give for each galaxy the complete set of luminosity and geometrical profiles, and a number of global, photometric and morphological parameters. They have been evaluated taking into account the effects of seeing. Internal consistency checks and comparisons with data in the literature confirm the quality of our analysis. These data, together with the spectroscopic ones presented in the second paper of the series, will provide the local calibration of the scaling relations.

- Surface photometry of dwarf galaxies in Virgo
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We analyze new V-band images of 14 dwarf S0 galaxies and 10 dwarf elliptical galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, in combination with R-band images of 70 dwarf elliptical galaxies from an earlier paper. We compute the intensity-weighted mean ellipticity, the mean deviations from elliptical isophotes, and a newly defined parameter to measure isophotal twists. We also fit each major-axis profile to a power law {Sigma}(a) {prop.to} exp[-(a/a_s_)^n^], where n is allowed to vary. Consistent with other studies of the Virgo dwarf ellipticals, we find that the profile shapes for the entire sample is strongly peaked near n=1 (exponential profiles) and that no galaxies have n=1/4 (de Vaucouleurs profile). The faintest galaxies all have nearly exponential profiles, while the brighter ones on average have n<1. The correlation between ellipticity and the boxy/disky parameter is similar to that of large elliptical galaxies, suggesting that dwarfs may also be divided into two groups with differing internal dynamics. The Virgo dEs also show a greater degree of isophotal twisting than more luminous elliptical galaxies.

- Surface Photometry of Hydra I Galaxies. I.
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/85/249
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Surface photometry was made for 137 galaxies on a UK Schmidt plate whose center is located at the center of the Hydra I (A1060) cluster of galaxies. For 133 of 137 galaxies the photometric parameters such as total magnitude, equivalent radius, concentration indices, and mean surface brightness were obtained. The total magnitudes were compared with those in the literature to check the accuracy of the present data. The estimated accuracy in the total magnitudes is about 0.1 mag at most for majority of the galaxies. This catalog is an updated version from the published paper.

- Survey at 408 MHz and 1420 MHz towards A 1314
- Short Name:
- J/A+AS/77/31
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The cluster of galaxies Abell 1314 has been observed with the Penticton synthesis telescope simultaneously at 408 MHz (73.5 cm wavelength) with a sensitivity (7 rms) near 70 mJy and at 1420 MHz (21.1 cm wavelength) with a sensitivity (5 rms) near 4.3 mJy. In addition to the 3 cluster sources detected, a further 64 background radio sources have been detected at 1420 MHz (the 20P radio survey), and 169 background sources at 408 MHz (the 21P radio survey). The surveys extend to a radius of 3.7 degrees at 408 MHz, and to 1.0 degree at 1420 MHz, from the map center at RA=11h31.5m, Dec=+49d20'. The differential source count for the background radio sources, derived at 408 MHz in the flux density range 90 mJy to 3.0 Jy, shows consistency with the Cambridge 5C5 survey at 408 MHz in a direction away from clusters of galaxies. Also, the differential count derived at 1420 MHz in the flux density range 10 mJy to 330 mJy is consistent with the Westerbork LBDS survey at a nearby frequency away from clusters of galaxies. We find no candidate for very steep spectrum "relic" sources in this cluster of galaxies, nor for very flat spectrum "blue" background radio galaxies behind the cluster.

- Swift AGN and Cluster Survey (SACS). I.
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/218/8

- Publisher:

- Description:
- The Swift active galactic nucleus (AGN) and Cluster Survey (SACS) uses 125deg^2^ of Swift X-ray Telescope serendipitous fields with variable depths surrounding {gamma}-ray bursts to provide a medium depth (4x10^-15^erg/cm2/s) and area survey filling the gap between deep, narrow Chandra/XMM-Newton surveys and wide, shallow ROSAT surveys. Here, we present a catalog of 22563 point sources and 442 extended sources and examine the number counts of the AGN and galaxy cluster populations. SACS provides excellent constraints on the AGN number counts at the bright end with negligible uncertainties due to cosmic variance, and these constraints are consistent with previous measurements. We use Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mid-infrared (MIR) colors to classify the sources. For AGNs we can roughly separate the point sources into MIR-red and MIR-blue AGNs, finding roughly equal numbers of each type in the soft X-ray band (0.5-2keV), but fewer MIR-blue sources in the hard X-ray band (2-8keV). The cluster number counts, with 5% uncertainties from cosmic variance, are also consistent with previous surveys but span a much larger continuous flux range. Deep optical or IR follow-up observations of this cluster sample will significantly increase the number of higher-redshift (z>0.5) X-ray-selected clusters.

- Description:
- We study 203 (of 442) Swift AGN and Cluster Survey extended X-ray sources located in the SDSS DR8 footprint to search for galaxy over-densities in three-dimensional space using SDSS galaxy photometric redshifts and positions near the Swift cluster candidates. We find 104 Swift clusters with a >3{sigma} galaxy over-density. The remaining targets are potentially located at higher redshifts and require deeper optical follow-up observations for confirmation as galaxy clusters. We present a series of cluster properties including the redshift, brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) magnitude, BCG-to-X-ray center offset, optical richness, and X-ray luminosity. We also detect red sequences in ~85% of the 104 confirmed clusters. The X-ray luminosity and optical richness for the SDSS confirmed Swift clusters are correlated and follow previously established relations. The distribution of the separations between the X-ray centroids and the most likely BCG is also consistent with expectation. We compare the observed redshift distribution of the sample with a theoretical model, and find that our sample is complete for z<~0.3 and is still 80% complete up to z~0.4, consistent with the SDSS survey depth. These analysis results suggest that our Swift cluster selection algorithm has yielded a statistically well-defined cluster sample for further study of cluster evolution and cosmology. We also match our SDSS confirmed Swift clusters to existing cluster catalogs, and find 42, 23, and 1 matches in optical, X-ray, and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich catalogs, respectively, and so the majority of these clusters are new detections.
