- Description:
- Using the IRAM NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA), we have conducted a program to measure redshifts for thirteen bright galaxies detected in the Herschel Astrophysical Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) with S(500)>=80mJy. We report reliable spectroscopic redshifts for twelve individual sources, which are derived from scans of the 3 and 2-mm bands, covering up to 31GHz in each band, and are based on the detection of at least two emission lines. The spectroscopic redshifts are in the range between 2.08<z<4.05 with a median value of z=2.9+/-0.6. The sources are unresolved or barely resolved on scales of 10kpc. In one field, two galaxies with different redshifts were detected. In two cases, the sources are found to be binary galaxies with projected distances of ~140kpc. The linewidths of the sources are large, with a mean value for the full width at half maximum of 700+/-300km/s and a median of 800km/s. We analyze the nature of the sources with currently available ancillary data to determine if they are lensed or hyper-luminous (LFIR>10^13^L_{sun}_) galaxies. We also present a re-analysis of the spectral energy distributions including the continuum flux densities measured at 3 and 2-mm to derive overall properties of the sources. Future prospects based on these efficient measurements of redshifts of high-z galaxies using NOEMA are outlined, including a comprehensive survey of all the brightest Herschel galaxies.

- Description:
- We present the first results of a program to characterize the disk and envelope structure of typical Class 0 protostars in nearby low-mass star-forming regions. We use Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) mid-infrared spectra, high-resolution Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA) 230GHz continuum imaging, and two-dimensional radiative transfer models to constrain the envelope structure, as well as the size and mass of the circumprotostellar disk in Serpens FIRS 1. The primary envelope parameters (centrifugal radius, outer radius, outflow opening angle, and inclination) are well constrained by the spectral energy distribution (SED), including Spitzer IRAC and MIPS photometry, IRS spectra, and 1.1mm Bolocam photometry. These together with the excellent uv-coverage (4.5-500k{lambda}) of multiple antenna configurations with CARMA allow for a robust separation of the envelope and a resolved disk. The SED of Serpens FIRS 1 is best fit by an envelope with the density profile of a rotating, collapsing spheroid with an inner (centrifugal) radius of approximately 600AU, and the millimeter data by a large resolved disk with M_disk_~1.0M_{sun}_ and R_disk_~300AU.

- ODISEA: Disk dust mass distributions

- Description:
- As protostars evolve from optically faint/infrared-bright (Class I) sources to optically bright/infrared-faint (Class II) the solid material in their surrounding disks accumulates into planetesimals and protoplanets. The nearby, young Ophiuchus star-forming region contains hundreds of protostars in a range of evolutionary states. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter Array to observe their millimeter continuum emission, we have measured masses of, or placed strong upper limits on, the dust content of 279 disks. The masses follow a log-normal distribution with a clear trend of decreasing mass from less to more evolved protostellar infrared class. The (logarithmic) mean Class I disk mass, M=3.8M_{Earth}_, is about 5 times greater than the mean Class II disk mass, but the dispersion in each class is so high, {sigma}_logM_~0.8-1, that there is a large overlap between the two distributions. The disk mass distribution of flat-spectrum protostars lies in between Classes I and II. In addition, three Class III sources with little to no infrared excess are detected with low disk masses, M~0.3M_{Earth}_. Despite the clear trend of decreasing disk mass with protostellar evolutionary state in this region, a comparison with surveys of Class II disks in other regions shows that masses do not decrease monotonically with age. This suggests that the cloud-scale environment may determine the initial disk mass scale or that there is substantial dust regeneration after 1Myr.

- Description:
- A novel method of analysis of double-lined eclipsing binaries containing a radially pulsating star is presented. The combined pulsating-eclipsing light curve is built up from a purely eclipsing light-curve grid created using an existing modelling tool. For every pulsation phase, the instantaneous radius and surface brightness are taken into account, being calculated from the disentangled radial velocity curve of the pulsating star and from its out-of-eclipse pulsational light curve and the light ratio of the components, respectively. The best model is found using the Markov chain Monte Carlo method. The method is applied to the eclipsing binary Cepheid OGLE-LMC-CEP-0227 (P_puls_=3.80d, P_orb_=309d). We analyse a set of new spectroscopic and photometric observations for this binary, simultaneously fitting OGLE V-band, I-band and Spitzer 3.6{mu}m photometry. We derive a set of fundamental parameters of the system significantly improving the precision comparing to the previous results obtained by our group. The Cepheid mass and radius are M_1_=4.165+/-0.032M_{sun}_ and R_1_=34.92+/-0.34R{sun}, respectively. For the first time a direct, geometrical and distance-independent determination of the Cepheid projection factor is presented. The value p=1.21+/-0.03(stat.)+/-0.04(syst.) is consistent with theoretical expectations for a short-period Cepheid and interferometric measurements for {delta} Cep. We also find a very high value of the optical limb darkening coefficients for the Cepheid component, in strong disagreement with theoretical predictions for static atmospheres at a given surface temperature and gravity.

- Description:
- The blazar OJ 287 has shown a ~~12 year quasi-periodicity over more than a century, in addition to the common properties of violent variability in all frequency ranges. It is the strongest known candidate to have a binary singularity in its central engine. We aim to better understand the different emission components by searching for correlated variability in the flux over four decades of frequency measurements. We combined data at frequencies from the millimetric to the visible to characterise the multifrequency light curve in April and May 2010. This includes the only photometric observations of OJ 287 made with the Herschel Space Observatory: five epochs of data obtained over 33 days at 250, 350, and 500um with Herschel-SPIRE. Although we find that the variability at 37GHz on timescales of a few weeks correlates with the visible to near-IR spectral energy distribution (SED), there is a small degree of reddening in the continuum at lower flux levels that is revealed by the decreasing rate of decline in the light curve at lower frequencies. However, we see no clear evidence that a rapid flare detected in the light curve during our monitoring in the visible to near-IR light curve is seen either in the Herschel data or at 37GHz, suggesting a low-frequency cut-off in the spectrum of such flares. We see only marginal evidence of variability in the observations with Herschel over a month, although this may be principally due to the poor sampling. The spectral energy distribution between 37 GHz and the visible can be characterised by two components of approximately constant spectral index: a visible to far-IR component of spectral index {alpha}=-0.95, and a far-IR to millimetric spectral index of {alpha}=0.43. There is no evidence of an excess of emission that would be consistent with the 60um dust bump found in many active galactic nuclei.

- Description:
- We introduce the Ophiuchus DIsc Survey Employing ALMA (ODISEA), a project aiming to study the entire population of Spitzer-selected protoplanetary discs in the Ophiuchus Molecular Cloud (~300 objects) from both millimetre continuum and CO isotopologues data. Here we present 1.3mm/230GHz continuum images of 147 targets at 0.2" (28au) resolution and a typical rms of 0.15mJy. We detect a total of 133 discs, including the individual components of 11 binary systems and 1 triple system. 60 of these discs are spatially resolved. We find clear substructures (inner cavities, rings, gaps, and/or spiral arms) in eight of the sources and hints of such structures in another four discs. We construct the disc luminosity function for our targets and perform preliminary comparisons to other regions. A simple conversion between flux and dust mass (adopting standard assumptions) indicates that all discs detected at 1.3mm are massive enough to form one or more rocky planets. In contrast, only ~50 discs (~1/3 of the sample) have enough mass in the form of dust to form the canonical 10M_{Earth}_ core needed to trigger runaway gas accretion and the formation of gas giant planets, although the total mass of solids already incorporated into bodies larger than cm scales is mostly unconstrained. The distribution in continuum disc sizes in our sample is heavily weighted towards compact discs: most detected discs have radii <15au, while only 23 discs (~15% of the targets) have radii >30au.

- Description:
- We present the results of approximately three years of observations of Planck Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) sources with telescopes at the Canary Islands observatories as part of the general optical follow-up programme undertaken by the Planck Collaboration. In total, 78 SZ sources are discussed. Deep-imaging observations were obtained for most of these sources; spectroscopic observations in either in long-slit or multi-object modes were obtained for many. We effectively used 37.5 clear nights. We found optical counterparts for 73 of the 78 candidates. This sample includes 53 spectroscopic redshift determinations, 20 of them obtained with a multi-object spectroscopic mode. The sample contains new redshifts for 27 Planck clusters that were not included in the first Planck SZ source catalogue (PSZ1).
