- Description:
- The Berlin Exoplanet Search Telescope is a small-aperture, wide-field telescope dedicated to time-series photometric observations. During an initial commissioning phase at the Thueringer Landessternwarte Tautenburg, Germany, and subsequent operations at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence, France, a 10{deg}^2^ circumpolar field close to the galactic plane centered at (RA, DE) = (02:39:23, +52:01:46) (J2000.0) was observed between 2001 August and 2006 December during 52 nights. From the 32129 stars observed, a subsample of 145 stars with clear stellar variability was detected out of which 125 are newly identified variable objects. For five bright objects, the system parameters were derived by modeling the light curve.

- A variationally computed hot NH3 line list - BYTe
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We present 'BYTe' a comprehensive 'hot' line list of ro-vibrational transitions of ammonia, ^14^NH_3_, in its ground electronic state. It comprises 1,138,323,351 transitions with frequencies up to 12,000cm^-1^, constructed from 1,373,897 energy levels below 18,000cm^-1^ having J values less than 37. The line list is sufficiently accurate and complete for high resolution spectroscopy and atmospheric modelling of astrophysical objects, including brown dwarfs and exoplanets at temperatures up to 1,500K. The data are in two parts. The first, nh3_0-41.dat contains a list of 4,167,360 rovibrational states, ordered by J (max= 41), symmetry block and energy (in cm^-1^). Only one third of the states (1,373,897) are within the parameters used for generating transitions (see above), but all the states are required for computing temperature-dependent partition functions. Each state is labelled with: seven normal mode vibrational quantum numbers; three rotational quantum numbers and the total symmetry quantum number, Gamma. In addition there are six local mode vibrational numbers and a local mode vibrational symmetry quantum numbers, which we include because the basis set used in our calculations is expressed in terms of these local mode quantum numbers. Each rovibrational state has a unique number, which is the number of the row in which it appears in the file. This number is the means by which the state is related to the second part of the data system, the transitions files. Because of their size, the transitions are listed in 120 separate files, each containing all the transitions in a 100cm^-1^ frequency range. These and their contents are ordered by increasing frequency. The name of the file includes the lowest frequency in the range; thus the a-00500.dat file contains all the transitions in the frequency range 500-600cm^-1^. The transition files contain three columns: the reference number in the energy file of the upper state; that of the lower state; and the Einstein A coefficient of the transition. The energy file and the transitions files are zipped, and need to be extracted before use. There is a Fortran 90 programme, sp_byte.f90 which may be used to generate synthetic spectra (see sp_byte.txt for details). Using this, it is possible to generate absorption or emission spectra in either 'stick' form or else convoluted with a gaussian with the half-width at half maximum being specified by the user, or with a the temperature-dependent doppler half-width. Three sample input files for use with sp_byte.f90 are supplied: "stick300.in", "gauss300.in", and "sp08900.in" (generates a spectrum for 8900-9000cm^-1^).

- Averaged Stellar Radial Velocities
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This catalog contains means of measurements of radial velocities of galactic stars. The data supplement the catalogs of Wilson (1953) <III/21> and Evans (1978) <III/47> with observations published through December 1980. There are new mean velocities for 6023 stars with new radial velocity data; more than 4500 of these stars are not in the earlier catalogs. A weighting scheme was used to form the mean velocities with data from cross-correlation spectrometers given highest weight and low dispersion (less than 100 A/mm) spectra given lowest weight. No systematic zero-point corrections were made but observations were taken from the literature only if they were standardized to the IAU or Wilson (1953) systems.

- Average Early-type galaxies NIR spectrum
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/497/41
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Near-infrared (hereafter NIR) data may provide complementary information to the traditional optical population synthesis analysis of unresolved stellar populations because the spectral energy distribution of the galaxies in the 1-2.5um range is dominated by different types of stars than at optical wavelengths. Furthermore, NIR data are less affected by dust absorption and hence could constrain the stellar populations in dust-obscured galaxies. We attempt to develop observational constraints on the stellar populations of unresolved stellar systems in the NIR.

- Average spectrum of HD 140283 (370-1040nm)
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/548/A42
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- HD 140283 is a nearby (V=7.7) subgiant metal-poor star, extensively analysed in the literature. Although many spectra have been obtained for this star, none showed a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio high enough to enable a very accurate derivation of abundances from weak lines. The detection of europium proves that the neutron-capture elements in this star are originate in the r-process, and not in the s-process, as recently claimed in the literature. Based on the OSMARCS 1D LTE atmospheric model and with a consistent approach based on the spectrum synthesis code Turbospectrum, we measured the europium lines 4129{AA} and 4205{AA}, taking into account the hyperfine structure of the transitions. The spectrum, obtained with a long exposure time of seven hours at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), has a resolving power of 81000 and a S/N ratio of 800 at 4100{AA}. We were able to determine the abundance A(Eu)=-2.35dex, compatible with the value predicted for the europium from the r-process. The abundance ratio [Eu/Ba]=+0.58dex agrees with the trend observed in metal-poor stars and is also compatible with a strong r-process contribution to the origin of the neutron-capture elements in HD 140283.

- Avg pitch angles & spiral amplitudes in S4G

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Spiral galaxies are very common in the local Universe, but their formation, evolution, and interplay with bars remain poorly understood after more than a century of astronomical research on the topic. We use a sample of 391 nearby galaxies from the S4G survey to characterise the winding angle and amplitude of spiral arms as a function of disc properties, such as bar strength, in all kinds of spirals (grand-design, multi-armed, and flocculent). We derived global pitch angles in 3.6um de-projected images from i) average measurements of individual logarithmic spiral segments, and ii) for a subsample of 32 galaxies, from 2-D Fourier analyses. The strength of spirals was quantified from the tangential-to-radial force ratio and from the normalised m=2 Fourier density amplitudes. In galaxies with more than one measured logarithmic segment, the spiral pitch angle varies on average by ~10{deg} between segments, but by up to >=15-20{deg}. The distribution of the global pitch angle versus Hubble type (T) is very similar for barred and non-barred galaxies when 1<=T<=5. Most spiral galaxies (>90%) are barred for T>5. The pitch angle is not correlated with bar strength, and only weakly with spiral strength. The amplitude of spirals is correlated with bar strength (and less tightly, with bar length) for all types of spirals. The mean pitch angle is hardly correlated with the mass of the supermassive black hole (estimated from central stellar velocity dispersion), with central stellar mass concentration, or with shear, questioning previous results in the literature using smaller samples. We do not find observational evidence that spiral arms are driven by stellar bars or by invariant manifolds. Most likely, discs that are prone to the development of strong bars are also reactive to the formation of prominent spirals, explaining the observed coupling between bar and spiral amplitudes.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- In this study, we investigate the X-ray properties of the intracluster gas and the radio morphology of the extraordinary cluster A2163. We analyze two Suzaku observations of A2163, one in the north-east (NE) and one in the south-west (SW) direction, and use archival XMM-Newton data to remove point sources in the field of view. To compare our findings in the X-ray regime with the radio emission, we obtain radio images of the cluster from an archival VLA observation at 20cm. We identify three shock fronts in A2163 in our spectral X-ray study. A clear shock front lies in the NE direction at a distance of 1.4Mpc from the center, with a Mach number of M=1.7^+0.3^_-0.2_, estimated from the temperature discontinuity. This shock coincides with the position of a known radio relic. We identify two additional shocks in the SW direction, one with M=1.5^+0.5^_-0.3_ at a distance of 0.7Mpc, which is likely related to a cool core remnant, and a strong shock with M=3.2^+0.6^_-0.7_ at a distance of 1.3Mpc, which also closely matches the radio contours. The complex structure of A2163 as well as the different Mach numbers and shock velocities suggest a merging scenario with two unequal merging constituents, where two shock fronts emerged in an early stage of the merger and traveled outwards while an additional shock front developed in front of the merging cluster cores.

- A VLA Search for Young Galactic Supernova Remnants
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- In the attempt to identify very young galactic supernova remnants (SNRs), 290 known compact (<2') galactic plane radio sources were observed at 20cm using the VLA in its 36 km configuration. The VLA observations described could detect supernovae with diameters between 5 and 20"; these would have an age of between 25 and 100 yr. Compact structure was detected in 168 (58%) of the 290 different sources observed; 73 sources (25%) were unresolved or slightly resolved point sources, 21 (7%) were single-well resolved, 56 (19%) were double, 18 (6%) were triple or complex. The large scale structure was completely resolved out for 122 (42%) of sources. Additional observations at 6cm with the VLA in the 11 km configuration were made of 14 sources with apparent shell structures that might have been characteristic of young SNRs. Low resolution observations were made at 20cm of 62 fields where the source was completely resolved out in the high resolution images. Only one source, G25.5+0.2, is a possible very young SNR. New H66_alpha recombination line observations place severe constrains on any thermal interpretation for this object.

- A VLA study of high-redshift GRBs. I. GRB140311A
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the first results from a recently concluded study of GRBs at z>~5 with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). Spanning 1 to 85.5GHz and 7 epochs from 1.5 to 82.3d, our observations of GRB140311A are the most detailed joint radio and millimeter observations of a GRB afterglow at z>~5 to date. In conjunction with optical/near-IR and X-ray data, the observations can be understood in the framework of radiation from a single blast wave shock with energy E_K,iso_~8.5x10^53^erg expanding into a constant density environment with density, n_0_~8cm^-3^. The X-ray and radio observations require a jet break at t_jet_~0.6d, yielding an opening angle of {theta}_jet_~4{deg} and a beaming-corrected blast wave kinetic energy of E_K_~2.2x10^50^erg. The results from our radio follow-up and multiwavelength modeling lend credence to the hypothesis that detected high-redshift GRBs may be more tightly beamed than events at lower redshift. We do not find compelling evidence for reverse shock emission, which may be related to fast cooling driven by the moderately high circumburst density.
