- Description:
- This paper presents the first results of a survey for bright quasars (V<14.5 and R<15.4) covering the northern hemisphere at Galactic latitudes |b|>30{deg}. The photometric database is derived from the Guide Star and USNO catalogs. Quasars are identified on the basis of their X-ray emission measured in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. The surface density of quasars brighter than 15.5mag turns out to be (10+/-2)x10^-3^deg^-2^, about 3 times higher than that estimated by the Palomar-Green (PG) survey. The quasar optical luminosity function (LF) at 0.04<z<=0.3 is computed and shown to be consistent with a luminosity-dependent luminosity evolution of the type derived by La Franca & Cristiani (1997AJ....113.1517L) in the range 0.3<z<=2.2. The predictions of semianalytical models of hierarchical structure formation agree remarkably well with the present observations.

- Description:
- This is the second paper of a series describing the Asiago-ESO/RASS QSO survey, a project aimed at the construction of an all-sky, statistically well defined sample of very bright QSOs (BJ<=15). Such a survey is required to remove the present uncertainties about the properties of the local QSO population and constitutes an homogeneous database for detailed evolutionary studies of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We present here the complete southern sample, which comprises 243 bright (12.60<=BJ<=15.13) QSO candidates at high galactic latitudes (|b_gal_|>=30{deg}). The area covered by the survey is 5660deg^2^. Spectroscopy for the 137 still unidentified objects has been obtained. The total number of AGNs turns out to be 11163 of which are new identifications. The properties of the selection are discussed. The completeness and the success rate for this survey at the final stage are 63% and 46%, respectively.

- Description:
- This table contains the dynamic version of the Asiago Supernova Catalog. It supersedes the original 1999 version by Barbon et al. (1999A&AS..139..531B, Cat. II/227), and contains data about the supernovae observed since 1885 and their parent galaxies through a few days prior to the most recent update. In addition to the list of newly discovered SNe, the literature has been searched for new information on past SNe as well. The data for the parent galaxies have also been homogenized. This table was created by the HEASARC based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/B/sn">CDS Catalog B/sn</a>. The CDS updates it regularly, and this HEASARC version is accordingly updated within a week of such updates. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- ASKAP-EMU ESP LMC Radio Continuum Survey
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/506/3540
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present an analysis of a new 120 deg^2^ radio continuum image of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) at 888MHz with a bandwidth of 288MHz and beam size of 13.9"x12.1", from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) processed as part of the Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) survey. The median Root Mean Squared noise is 58uJy/beam. We present a catalogue of 54612 sources, divided over a Gold list (30866 sources) complete down to 0.5mJy uniformly across the field, a Silver list (22080 sources) reaching down to <0.2mJy and a Bronze list (1666 sources) of visually inspected sources in areas of high noise and/or near bright complex emission. We discuss detections of planetary nebulae and their radio luminosity function, young stellar objects showing a correlation between radio luminosity and gas temperature, novae and X-ray binaries in the LMC, and active stars in the Galactic foreground that may become a significant population below this flux level. We present examples of diffuse emission in the LMC (HII regions, supernova remnants, bubbles) and distant galaxies showcasing spectacular interaction between jets and intracluster medium. Among 14333 infrared counterparts of the predominantly background radio source population we find that star-forming galaxies become more prominent below 3mJy compared to active galactic nuclei.We combine the new 888MHz data with archival Australia Telescope Compact Array data at 1.4GHz to determine spectral indices; the vast majority display synchrotron emission but flatter spectra occur too. We argue that the most extreme spectral index values are due to variability.

- ASKAP EMU ESP, Radio Continuum Survey of the SMC
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/490/1202
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present two new radio continuum images from the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathnder (ASKAP) survey in the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). These images are part of the Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) Early Science Project (ESP) survey of the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. The two new source lists produced from these images contain radio continuum sources observed at 960MHz (4489 sources) and 1320MHz (5954 sources) with a bandwidth of 192MHz and beam sizes of 30.0"x30.0" and 16.3"x15.1", respectively. The median Root Mean Squared (RMS) noise values are 186Jy/beam (960MHz) and 165Jy/beam (1320MHz). To create point source catalogues, we use these two source lists, together with the previously published Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST) and the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) point source catalogues to estimate spectral indices for the whole population of radio point sources found in the survey region. Combining our ASKAP catalogues with these radio continuum surveys, we found 7736 point-like sources in common over an area of 30deg^2^. In addition, we report the detection of two new, low surface brightness supernova remnant candidates in the SMC. The high sensitivity of the new ASKAP ESP survey also enabled us to detect the bright end of the SMC planetary nebula sample, with 22 out of 102 optically known planetary nebulae showing point-like radio continuum emission. Lastly, we present several morphologically interesting background radio galaxies.

- ASK spectroscopic sequence of galaxies
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/415/2417
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We identify a spectroscopic sequence of galaxies, analogous to the Hubble sequence of morphological types, based on the Automatic Spectroscopic K-means-based (ASK) classification. Considering galaxy spectra as multidimensional vectors, the majority of the spectral classes are distributed along a well-defined curve going from the earliest to the latest types, suggesting that the optical spectra of normal galaxies can be described in terms of a single affine parameter. Optically bright active galaxies, however, appear as an independent, roughly orthogonal branch that intersects the main sequence exactly at the transition between early and late types.

- AS 78 & MWC 657 spectroscopy
- Short Name:
- J/A+AS/147/5
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the results of low- and high-resolution spectroscopic and multicolour photometric observations of two early-type emission-line stars, AS 78 and MWC 657. They were identified by Dong & Hu (1991ChA&A..15..275D) with the IRAS sources 03549+5602 and 22407+6008, respectively, among many other sources displaying a very strong infrared excess, V-[25]>=8mag. AS 78 is recognized as a photometric variable for the first time. A large near-IR excess radiation is detected in AS 78 and confirmed by new, higher-quality, data for MWC 657. Significant variations in the Balmer line profiles are detected for both objects. Modelling of the Balmer line profiles of AS 78 obtained in 1994 yields the following parameters of the star and its wind: T_eff_~17000K, logL_bol_/L_{sun}_~4.0, dM/dt~10^-6^M_{sun}_/yr. The photometric and new spectroscopic data indicate that the star's T_eff_ increases with time, while the stellar wind changes its structure. Distances towards both objects are estimated on the basis of their radial velocities and the galactic rotation curve. Consideration of different options about the nature and evolutionary state of both objects leads us to suggest that they are binary systems containing a B-type intermediate-luminosity star and a gaseous disk around the less luminous component.
