- Description:
- The Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS) aims to image a 7 deg<sup>2</sup> region centered on the European Large Area ISO Survey - South 1 (ELAIS-S1) field and the Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S) at 1.4 GHz with high sensitivity (up to sigma ~ 10 uJy) to study the evolution of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) over a wide range of cosmic time. The main goal of the present work is to study the radio spectra of an unprecedentedly large sample of sources (~ 2000 observed, ~ 600 detected in both frequencies). This table contains the results from ancillary radio observations at a frequency of 2.3 GHz which were obtained with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). It comprises the catalog of sources with measured 1.4 GHz to 2.3 GHz spectral indices (Table 2 in the reference paper), compiled in the framework of ATLAS. It comprises only such sources which have unambiguous detections at both 1.4 GHz and 2.3 GHz, so no upper or lower limits on the spectral index based on non-detections are included. The 2.3-GHz detection limit is 300 uJy (equivalent to 4.5 sigma in the ELAIS-S1 field and 4.0 sigma in the CDF-S). The authors compute spectral indices between 1.4 GHz and 2.3 GHz using matched-resolution images and investigate various properties of their source sample in their dependence on their spectral indices. The authors find the entire source sample to have a median spectral index of -0.74, in good agreement with both the canonical value of -0.7 for optically thin synchrotron radiation and other spectral index studies conducted by various groups. Regarding the radio spectral index Alpha as indicator for source type, they find only marginal correlations so that flat or inverted spectrum sources are usually powered by AGN and hence conclude that, at least for the faint population, the spectral index is not a strong discriminator. They investigate the z-Alpha relation for their source sample and find no such correlation between spectral index and redshift at all. The authors do find a significant correlation between redshift and radio to near-infrared flux ratio, making this a much stronger tracer of high-z radio sources. They also find no evidence for a dependence of the radio-IR correlation on spectral index.

- Description:
- This table contains results from the Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS), and consists of sensitive (1 sigma < 30 uJy) 1.4-GHz radio observations of a 3.9 deg<sup>2</sup> field centered on the European Large Area ISO Survey S1 (ELAIS-S1) region, largely coincident with infrared observations of the Spitzer Wide-Area Infrared Extragalactic (SWIRE) Survey. In their paper, the authors describe the observations and calibration, source extraction, and cross-matching to infrared sources. A total of 1366 radio components are identified, corresponding to 1276 distinct radio sources, 1183 of which are matched with infrared sources in the companion table ATLASESID. The authors have discovered 31 radio sources with no infrared counterpart at all, adding to the class of Infrared-Faint Radio Sources. The radio observations where made on 27 separate days in 2004 and 2005 with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) with a total net integration time of 231 hours. as described in detail in Section 2.1 and Tables 1 and 2 of the reference paper. The observations were made in a mosaic of 20 overlapping pointings, where pointings 1-12 have net integration times of 10.5 hours per pointing and pointings 13-24 have net integration times of 13.5 hours per pointing. All observations were made with two 128-MHz bands, centered on frequencies of 1.34 and 1.43 GHz. After editing, the predicted noise level is 22 uJy in the center of the mosaic. Toward the image edges, the noise level increases due to primary beam attenuation. This table contains the list of 1366 radio components given in Table 4 of the reference paper. The authors define a radio 'component' as a region of radio emission which is best defined as a Gaussian. Close radio doubles are very likely to be best represented by two Gaussians and are therefore deemed to consist of two components. Single or multiple components are called a radio source if they are deemed to belong to the same object.

- Description:
- The Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS) has surveyed 7 square degrees of sky around the Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S) and the European Large Area ISO Survey-South 1 (ELAIS-S1) fields at 1.4 GHz. ATLAS aims to reach a uniform sensitivity of 10 µJy (µJy) beam<sup>-1</sup> rms over the entire region with first data release currently reaching ~ 30 uJy beam<sup>-1</sup> rms. Here the authors present 466 new spectroscopic redshifts for radio sources in ATLAS as part of their optical follow-up program. Of the 466 radio sources with new spectroscopic redshifts, 142 have star-forming optical spectra, 282 show evidence for active galactic nuclei (AGN) in their optical spectra, 10 have stellar spectra and 32 have spectra revealing redshifts, but with insufficient features to classify. The authors compare their spectroscopic classifications with two mid-infrared diagnostics and find them to be in broad agreement. ATLAS is a pathfinder for the forthcoming Evolution Map of the Universe (EMU) survey and the data presented in this paper will be used to guide EMU's survey design and early science papers. This paper uses H<sub>0</sub> = 70 km s<sup>-1</sup> Mpc<sup>-1</sup>, Omega<sub>M</sub> = 0.3 and Omega<sub>Lambda</sub> = 0.7, and the web-based calculator of Wright (2006, PASP, 118, 1711) to estimate the distance-dependent physical parameters. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2013 based on an electronic version of Table 2 from the reference paper which was obtained from the MNRAS web site. Some of the values for the name parameter in the HEASARC's implementation of this table were corrected in April 2018. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) observes most of the sky every night in search of dangerous asteroids. Its data are also used to search for photometric variability, where sensitivity to variability is limited by photometric accuracy. Since each exposure spans 7.6{deg} corner to corner, variations in atmospheric transparency in excess of 0.01mag are common, and 0.01mag photometry cannot be achieved by using a constant flat-field calibration image. We therefore have assembled an all-sky reference catalog of approximately one billion stars to m~19 from a variety of sources to calibrate each exposure's astrometry and photometry. Gaia DR2 is the source of astrometry for this ATLAS Refcat2. The sources of g, r, i, and z photometry include Pan-STARRS DR1, the ATLAS Pathfinder photometry project, ATLAS reflattened APASS data, SkyMapper DR1, APASS DR9, the Tycho-2 catalog, and the Yale Bright Star Catalog. We have attempted to make this catalog at least 99% complete to m<19, including the brightest stars in the sky. We believe that the systematic errors are no larger than 5mmag rms, although errors are as large as 20mmag in small patches near the Galactic plane.

- Atlas and Catalog of Dark Clouds

- Description:
- Here we release the first version of the atlas and catalog of dark clouds derived by using the optical database Digitized Sky Survey I (DSS). Applying a traditional star-count technique to 1043 plates contained in DSS, we have produced an Av map covering the entire region in the galactic latitude range |b|=<40{deg}. The map was drawn at two different angular resolutions of 6' and 18', and is released in FITS format. Based on the Av map, we identified 2448 dark clouds and 2841 clumps located inside them. Physical parameters, such as the position, extent, and optical extinction, were measured for each of the clouds and clumps. We also searched for counterparts among already known dark clouds in the literature. The catalog of dark clouds presented here lists the cloud parameters as well as the counterparts. Printed version of the atlas and catalog was published in a special issue of Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan (PASJ) in February 2005 (Dobashi et al., 2005, PASJ, 57, pp.S1-S386).

- Description:
- This paper presents an atlas and catalog of dark clouds derived based on the 2 Micron All Sky Survey Point Source Catalog (2MASS PSC). Color excess maps of E(J-H) and E(H-K_S_) as well as extinction maps of A_J_, A_H_, and A_K_S_ covering all of the sky have been produced at the 1' grid with a changing angular resolution (~1'-12'), depending on the regions in the sky. Maps drawn at the lower 15' grid with a fixed 1{deg} resolution were also derived for various sets of threshold magnitudes in the J, H, and K_S_ bands to estimate the background star colors and star densities needed to derive the color excess and extinction maps. The maps obtained in this work are presented on various scales in a series of figures that can be used as an atlas of dark clouds for general research purposes. On the basis of the E(J-H) and A_J_ maps drawn at the 1' grid, we have carried out a systematic survey for dark clouds all over the sky. In total, we identified 7614 dark clouds, and measured the coordinates, extents, and A_V_ values for each of them. We also searched for their counterparts in a previously published catalog of dark clouds based on the optical photographic plates DSS (Dobashi et al., 2005PASJ...57S...1D, Cat. VII/244). These cloud parameters, including the information of the counterparts, are compiled into a new catalog of dark clouds.

- ATLAS c-o colors and classification of asteroids

- Description:
- We present here the c-o colors for identified Flora, Vesta, Nysa-Polana, Themis, and Koronis family members within the historic data set (2015-2018) of the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS). The Themis and Koronis families are known to be relatively pure C- and S-type Bus-DeMeo taxonomic families, respectively, and the extracted color data from the ATLAS broadband c- and o-filters of these two families are used to demonstrate that the ATLAS c-o color is a sufficient parameter to distinguish between the C- and S-type taxonomies. The Vesta and Nysa-Polana families are known to display a mixture of taxonomies possibly due to Vesta's differentiated parent body origin and Nysa-Polana actually consisting of two nested families with differing taxonomies. Our data show that the Flora family also displays a large degree of taxonomic mixing and the data reveal a substantial H-magnitude dependence on color. We propose and exclude several interpretations for the observed taxonomic mix. Additionally, we extract rotation periods of all of the targets reported here and find good agreement with targets that have previously reported periods.

- CDS
- Description:
- The traditional knowledge of the mechanisms that caused the formation and evolution of early-type galaxies (ETG) in a hierarchical universe was challenged by the unexpected finding by ATLAS^3D^ that 86% of the ETGs show signs of a fast-rotating disk at their interior. This implies a common origin of most spiral galaxies, followed by a quenching phase, while only a minority of the most massive systems are slow rotators and were likely to be the products of merger events. Our aim is to improve our knowledge on the content and distribution of ionized hydrogen and their usage to form stars in a representative sample of ETGs for which the kinematics and detailed morphological classification were known from ATLAS^3D^. Methods. Using narrow-band filters centered on the redshifted H{alpha} line along with a broad-band (r-Gunn) filter to recover the stellar continuum, we observed or collected existing imaging observations for 147 ETGs (including members of the Virgo cluster) that are representative of the whole ATLAS3D survey. Fifty-five ETGs (37%) were detected in the H{alpha} line above our detection threshold, (EW(H{alpha})<=-1{AA}), and 21 harbor a strong source (EW(H{alpha})<=-5{AA}). The strong H{alpha} emitters appear associated with mostly low-mass (M*~10^10^M_{sun}_) S0 galaxies that contain conspicuous stellar and gaseous discs. These harbor significant star formation at their interior, including their nuclei. The weak H{alpha} emitters are almost one order of magnitude more massive, contain gas-poor discs and harbor an AGN at their centers. Their emissivity is dominated by [NII] and does not imply star formation. The 92 undetected ETGs constitute the majority in our sample and are gas-free systems that lack a disc and exhibit passive spectra even in their nuclei. These pieces of evidence reinforce the conclusion made previously that the evolution of ETGs followed the secular channel for the less massive systems and the dry merging channel for the most massive galaxies at the center of clusters of galaxies.

- Description:
- The ATLAS^3D^ project is a multiwavelength survey combined with a theoretical modelling effort. The observations span from the radio to the millimetre and optical, and provide multicolour imaging, two-dimensional kinematics of the atomic (HI), molecular (CO) and ionized gas (H{beta}, [OIII] and [NI]), together with the kinematics and population of the stars (H{beta}, Fe5015 and Mgb), for a carefully selected, volume-limited (1.16x10^5^Mpc^3^) sample of 260 early-type (elliptical E and lenticular S0) galaxies (ETGs). The models include semi-analytic, N-body binary mergers and cosmological simulations of galaxy formation. Here we present the science goals for the project and introduce the galaxy sample and the selection criteria. The sample consists of nearby (D<42Mpc, |DE-29{deg}|<35{deg}, |b|>15{deg}) morphologically selected ETGs extracted from a parent sample of 871 galaxies (8 per cent E, 22 per cent S0 and 70 per cent spirals) brighter than M_K_<-21.5mag (stellar mass M_*_>~6x10^9^M_{sun}_).
