- Description:
- We investigate the influence of environment on brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) evolution using a sample of 63 clusters at 0.3<=z<=0.9 drawn primarily from the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey and follow-up V, I, and K' photometry. Our data originate from a variety of telescopes and instruments. The cluster sample and observations used here stem from deep optical and infrared follow-up imaging of a small subset of the full catalog that was obtained to aid in the classification of candidates and to develop photometric redshift indicators.

- Description:
- We combine deep K-band (W. M. Keck Telescope) with V- and I-band (New Technology Telescope) observations of two "blank" high Galactic latitude fields, surveying a total of ~2arcmin^2^. The K-band number-magnitude counts continue to rise above K~22mag, reaching surface densities of few x10^5^deg^-2^. The slope for the galaxy counts is approximately [dlog(N)/dmag].deg^-2^=0.23+/-0.02 over the range 18-23mag. While this slope is consistent with other recent deep K-band surveys, there is a definite scatter in the normalisations by about a factor of 2. In particular, our normalisation is ~2x greater than the galaxy counts reported by Djorgovski et al. in 1995 (1995ApJ...438L..13D). Optical near-infrared color-magnitude and color-color diagrams for all objects detected in the V+I+K image are plotted and discussed in the context of grids of Bruzual-Charlot isochrone synthesis galaxy evolutionary models. The colors of most of the observed galaxies are consistent with a population drawn from a broad redshift distribution. A few galaxies at K~19-20 are red in both colors (V-I>3; I-K>2, consistent with being early-type galaxies having undergone a burst of star formation at z>5 and viewed at z~1. At K>20, we find several (approximately eight) "red outlier" galaxies with I-K>4 and V-I<2.5, whose colors are difficult to mimic by a single evolving or nonevolving stellar population at any redshift unless they either have quite low metallicity or are highly reddened. We compare the data against the evolutionary tracks of second-burst ellipticals and against a grid of models that does not constrain galaxy ages to a particular formation redshift. The red outliers' surface density is several per square arcminute, which is so high that they are probably common objects of low luminosity L<L*. Whether these are low-metallicity, dusty dwarf galaxies, or old galaxies at high redshift, they are curious and merit spectroscopic follow-up.

- Description:
- This table lists VIKs photometry for compact objects in the giant Virgo elliptical NGC 4365. The majority of these objects are globular clusters. V and I magnitudes are measured on images taken with the FORS1 instrument on the ESO Very Large Telescope, while the K magnitudes are from the SOFI imager on the ESO New Technology Telescope. No correction for foreground extinction has been applied to the photometry in the table.

- Description:
- The orbit and physical parameters of the previously unsolved double-lined eclipsing binary Tyc 5227-1023-1, discovered during the search for RR Lyr variable candidate members of the Aquarius stream, are derived using high-resolution echelle spectroscopy and V,i' photometry. A synthetic spectral analysis of both components has been performed, yielding metallicity [M/H]=-0.63+/-0.11 for both stars and a temperature for the secondary that is in close agreement with the one from the orbital solution, while the temperature of the primary is determined from photometry (T_1_=6350K). The masses and radii (M_1_=0.96+/-0.02, M_2_=0.84+/-0.01M_{sun}_, R_1_=1.39+/-0.01, R_2_=0.98+/-0.01R_{sun}_) reveal that both stars have already slightly evolved away from the main-sequence band, having an age of about 7Gyr, and the results of the synthetic spectral analysis support the claim of corotation with the orbital motion. The radial velocity of the system is -60+/-2km/s, while its distance, computed from orbital parameters and the derived reddening E_B-V_=0.053, is 496+/-35pc. Even though Tyc 5227-1023-1 was initially treated as a possible member of the Aquarius stream, the results presented here disagree with reported values for this ancient structure and suggest a likely membership of the thick disk.

- Description:
- We conducted a multi-wavelength study to unveil the properties of the extremely long-period cataclysmic variable V479 And. We performed series of observations, including moderate to high spectral resolution optical spectrophotometry, X-ray observations with Swift, linear polarimetry and near-IR photometry. This binary system is a low-inclination ~17{deg} system with a 0.594093(4) day orbital period. The absorption line complex in the spectra indicate a G8-K0 spectral type for the donor star, which has departed from the zero-age main sequence. This implies a distance to the object of about 4kpc. The primary is probably a massive 1.1-1.4M_{sun}_ magnetic white dwarf, accreting matter at a rate dM/dt>10^-10^M_{sun}_/yr. This rate can be achieved if the donor star fills its corresponding Roche lobe, but there is little observational evidence for a mass-transfer stream in this system. An alternative explanation is a stellar wind from the donor star, although such a high rate mass loss is not anticipated from a subgiant. If the strongly magnetic white dwarf in V479 And is confirmed by future observations, the system the polar with the longest observed orbital period. We also discuss the evolutionary state of V479 And.

- Description:
- The fourteenth part of the OGLE-III Catalog of Variable Stars (OIII-CVS) contains Cepheid variables detected in the OGLE-II and OGLE-III fields toward the Galactic bulge. The catalog is divided into two main categories: 32 classical Cepheids (21 single-mode fundamental-mode F, four first-overtone 1O, two double-mode F/1O, three double-mode 1O/2O and two triple-mode 1O/2O/3O pulsators) and 335 type II Cepheids (156 BL Her, 128 W Vir and 51 RV Tau stars). Six of the type II Cepheids likely belong to the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy. The catalog data include the time-series photometry collected in the course of the OGLE survey, observational parameters of the stars, finding charts, and cross-identifications with the General Catalogue of Variable Stars.

- Description:
- We present the most comprehensive picture ever obtained of the central parts of the Milky Way probed with RR Lyr variable stars. This is a collection of 38257 RR Lyr stars detected over 182 square degrees monitored photometrically by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) in the most central regions of the Galactic bulge. The sample consists of 16804 variables found and published by the OGLE collaboration in 2011 and 21453 RR Lyr stars newly detected in the photometric databases of the fourth phase of the OGLE survey (OGLE-IV). 93% of the OGLE-IV variables were previously unknown. The total sample consists of 27 258 RRab, 10825 RRc, and 174 RRd stars. We provide OGLE-IV I- and V-band light curves of the variables along with their basic parameters. About 300 RR Lyr stars in our collection are plausible members of 15 globular clusters. Among others, we found the first pulsating variables that may belong to the globular cluster Terzan 1 and the first RRd star in the globular cluster M54. Our survey also covers the center and outskirts of the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy enabling studies of the spatial distribution of the old stellar population from this galaxy.
