- Description:
- We investigate the star formation properties of ~800 sources detected in one of the deepest radio surveys at 1.4GHz. Our sample spans a wide redshift range (~0.1-4) and about four orders of magnitude in star formation rate (SFR). It includes both star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs), further divided into radio-quiet (RQ) and radio-loud objects. We compare the SFR derived from the far-infrared luminosity, as traced by Herschel, with the SFR computed from their radio emission. We find that the radio power is a good SFR tracer not only for pure SFGs but also in the host galaxies of RQ AGNs, with no significant deviation with redshift or specific SFR. Moreover, we quantify the contribution of the starburst activity in the SFG population and the occurrence of AGNs in sources with different level of star formation. Finally, we discuss the possibility of using deep radio survey as a tool to study the cosmic star formation history.

- Description:
- We present a complete sample of megaparsec-sized double radio sources compiled from the Sydney University Molonglo Sky Survey (SUMSS, Cat. <VIII/70>). Almost complete redshift information has been obtained for the sample. The sample has the following defining criteria: Galactic latitude |b|>12.5{deg}, declination {delta}<-50{deg}, and angular size >5'. All the sources have a projected linear size larger than 0.7Mpc (assuming H_0_=71km/s/Mpc). The sample is chosen from a region of the sky covering 2100{deg}^2^. In this paper we present 843MHz radio images of the extended radio morphologies made using the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope, higher resolution radio observations of any compact radio structures using the Australia Telescope Compact Array, and low-resolution optical spectra of the host galaxies from the 2.3m Australian National University telescope at Siding Spring Observatory. The sample presented here is the first in the southern hemisphere and significantly enhances the database of known giant radio sources. The giant radio sources with linear size exceeding 0.7Mpc have an abundance of (215Mpc)^-3^ at the sensitivity of the survey. In the low-redshift universe, the survey may be suggesting the possibility that giant radio sources with relict lobes are more numerous than giant sources in which beams from the center currently energize the lobes.

- Sunyaev-Zel'dovich galaxy clusters surveyed by ACT
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/253/3
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a catalog of 4195 optically confirmed Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) selected galaxy clusters detected with signal-to-noise ratio >4 in 13211deg^2^ of sky surveyed by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). Cluster candidates were selected by applying a multifrequency matched filter to 98 and 150GHz maps constructed from ACT observations obtained from 2008 to 2018 and confirmed using deep, wide-area optical surveys. The clusters span the redshift range 0.04<z<1.91 (median z=0.52). The catalog contains 222 z>1 clusters, and a total of 868 systems are new discoveries. Assuming an SZ signal versus mass-scaling relation calibrated from X-ray observations, the sample has a 90% completeness mass limit of M_500c_>3.8x10^14^M_{sun}_, evaluated at z=0.5, for clusters detected at signal-to-noise ratio >5 in maps filtered at an angular scale of 2.4'. The survey has a large overlap with deep optical weak-lensing surveys that are being used to calibrate the SZ signal mass-scaling relation, such as the Dark Energy Survey (4566deg^2^), the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (469deg^2^), and the Kilo Degree Survey (825deg^2^). We highlight some noteworthy objects in the sample, including potentially projected systems, clusters with strong lensing features, clusters with active central galaxies or star formation, and systems of multiple clusters that may be physically associated. The cluster catalog will be a useful resource for future cosmological analyses and studying the evolution of the intracluster medium and galaxies in massive clusters over the past 10Gyr.

- Description:
- The SuperCLuster Assisted Shear Survey (SuperCLASS) is a legacy programme using the e-MERLIN interferometric array. The aim is to observe the sky at L-band (1.4GHz) to a r.m.s. of 7uJy/beam over an area of 1 square degrees centred on the Abell 981 supercluster. The main scientific objectives of the project are: (i) to detect the effects of weak lensing in the radio in preparation for similar measurements that will be made by the Square Kilometre Array (SKA); (ii) an extinction free census of star formation and AGN activity at z up to 1. In this paper we give an overview of the project including the science goals and multi-wavelength coverage before presenting the first data release. We have analysed around 400 hours of e-MERLIN data which has allowed us to create a DR1 mosaic covering an area ~0.26 square degrees to the full depth. These observations have been supplemented with complementary radio observations from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and optical/near infra-red observations taken with the Subaru, Canada-France-Hawaii and Spitzer Telescopes. The main data product is a catalogue of 887 sources detected by the VLA, of which 395 are detected by e-MERLIN and 197 of these are resolved. We have investigated the size, flux and spectral index properties of these sources and find them to be compatible with previous studies. Preliminary photometric redshifts, and an assessment of galaxy shapes measured in the radio data, combined with a radio-optical cross-correlation technique to probe cosmic shear in a supercluster environment, are presented in companion papers.

- Supernova remnant G107.0+9.0 radio images

- Description:
- The vast majority of Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) were detected by their synchrotron radio emission. Recently, the evolved SNR G107.0+9.0 with a diameter of about 3D or 75pc up to 100pc in size was optically detected with an indication of faint associated radio emission. This SNR requires a detailed radio study. We searched for radio emission from SNR G107.0+9.0 by analysing new data from the Effelsberg 100-m and the Urumqi 25-m radio telescopes in addition to available radio surveys. Radio SNRs outside of the Galactic plane, where confusion is rare, must be very faint if they have not been identified so far. Guided by the H{alpha} emission of G107.0+9.0, we separated its radio emission from the Galactic large-scale emission. Radio emission from SNR G107.0+9.0 is detected between 22MHz and 4.8GHz with a steep non-thermal spectrum, which confirms G107.0+9.0 as an SNR. Its surface brightness is among the lowest known for Galactic SNRs. Polarised emission is clearly detected at 1.4GHz but is fainter at 4.8GHz. We interpret the polarised emission as being caused by a Faraday screen associated with G107.0+9.0 and its surroundings. Its ordered magnetic field along the line of sight is below 1-microG. At 4.8GHz, we identified a depolarised filament along the western periphery of G107.0+9.0 with a magnetic field strength along the line of sight B_parallel_~15-microG, which requires magnetic field compression. G107.0+9.0 adds to the currently small number of known, evolved, large-diameter, low-surface-brightness Galactic SNRs. We have shown that such objects can be successfully extracted from radio-continuum surveys despite the dominating large-scale diffuse Galactic emission.

- Description:
- The total flux densities of more than one hundred galactic supernova remnants (SNR) at 111, 102, and 83MHz, measured at Pushchino using the E-W WBCR-1000 and LSA radio telescopes, to an accuracy of 2Jy or better; the spectral indices, with their errors, obtained from the compiled spectra; and optical depths at 100MHz in the direction of the supernova remnants are reported. The latter values are obtained from a low frequency cutoff caused by interstellar gas absorption, which was detected at meter and decimeter wavelengths in the direction of 38% of the supernova remnants.

- Description:
- Using radio data to identify and optical data to confirm, we have established the largest and most complete sample of extragalactic radio-bright supernova remnants (SNRs) in the nearby spiral galaxy M33. We have identified 53 radio SNRs, doubling the size of the earlier survey by Duric et al. (1993A&AS...99..217D).

- SuperWASP/ROSAT periodic variable stars
- Short Name:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present optical lightcurves of 428 periodic variable stars coincident with ROSAT X-ray sources, detected using the first run of the SuperWASP photometric survey. Only 68 of these were previously recognised as periodic variables. A further 30 of these objects are previously known pre-main sequence stars, for which we detect a modulation period for the first time. Amongst the newly identified periodic variables, many appear to be close eclipsing binaries, their X-ray emission is presumably the result of RS CVn type behaviour. Others are probably BY Dra stars, pre-main sequence stars and other rapid rotators displaying enhanced coronal activity. A number of previously catalogued pulsating variables (RR Lyr stars and Cepheids) coincident with X-ray sources are also seen, but we show that these are likely to be misclassifications. We identify four objects which are probable low mass eclipsing binary stars, based on their very red colour and light curve morphology.

- Survey at 408 MHz and 1420 MHz towards A 1314

- Date:

- Publisher:

- 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.

- Survey of Galactic Center region at 20cm

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This is the first in a series of papers presenting a sensitive 20cm VLA continuum survey of the Galactic center region using new and archival data based on multiconfiguration observations taken with relatively uniform uv coverage. The high dynamic range images cover the regions within -2{deg}<l<5{deg} and -40'<b<40' with a spatial resolution of ~30" and 10". The wide field imaging technique is used to construct a low-resolution mosaic of 40 overlapping pointings. The mosaic image includes the Effelsberg observations filling the low spatial frequency uv data. We also present high-resolution images of 23 overlapping fields using DnC and CnB array configurations. These high-resolution images are sensitive to both compact and extended continuum features with a wide range of angular scales with rms noise of 0.2mJy/beam in the outer parts of the Galactic center region. The survey has resulted in a catalog of 345 discrete sources as well as 140 images revealing structural details of HII regions, supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, and more than 80 linear filaments distributed toward the complex region of the Galactic center.
