- Description:
- We present a public catalog of galaxy groups constructed from the spectroscopic sample of galaxies in the fourth data release from the Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe 2 (DEEP2) Galaxy Redshift Survey, including the Extended Groth Strip (EGS). The catalog contains 1165 groups with two or more members in the EGS over the redshift range 0<z<1.5 and 1295 groups at z>0.6 in the rest of DEEP2. 25% of EGS galaxies and 14% of high-z DEEP2 galaxies are assigned to galaxy groups. The groups were detected using the Voronoi-Delaunay method (VDM) after it has been optimized on mock DEEP2 catalogs following similar methods to those employed in Gerke et al (2005, J/ApJ/625/6). In the optimization effort, we have taken particular care to ensure that the mock catalogs resemble the data as closely as possible, and we have fine-tuned our methods separately on mocks constructed for the EGS and the rest of DEEP2. We have also probed the effect of the assumed cosmology on our inferred group-finding efficiency by performing our optimization on three different mock catalogs with different background cosmologies, finding large differences in the group-finding success we can achieve for these different mocks. Using the mock catalog whose background cosmology is most consistent with current data, we estimate that the DEEP2 group catalog is 72% complete and 61% pure (74% and 67% for the EGS) and that the group finder correctly classifies 70% of galaxies that truly belong to groups, with an additional 46% of interloper galaxies contaminating the catalog (66% and 43% for the EGS). We also confirm that the VDM catalog reconstructs the abundance of galaxy groups with velocity dispersions above ~300 km/s to an accuracy better than the sample variance, and this successful reconstruction is not strongly dependent on cosmology.

- Catalog of galaxy morphology in four clusters

- Publisher:

- Description:
- Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of four rich, X-ray-luminous, galaxy clusters (0.33<z<0.83) is used to produce quantitative morphological measurements for galaxies in their fields. Catalogs of these measurements are presented for 1642 galaxies brighter than F814W(AB)=23.0. Galaxy luminosity profiles are fitted with three models: exponential disk, de Vaucouleurs bulge, and a disk-plus-bulge hybrid model. The best fit is selected and produces a quantitative assessment of the morphology of each galaxy: the principal parameters derived being B/T, the ratio of bulge to total luminosity, the scale lengths and half-light radii, axial ratios, position angles, and surface brightnesses of each component. Cluster membership is determined using a statistical correction for field galaxy contamination, and a mass normalization factor (mass within boundaries of the observed fields) is derived for each cluster. Morphological classes are defined using B/T: disk galaxies have 0<=B/T<=0.4, intermediate galaxies 0.4<B/T<0.8, and bulge-dominated galaxies have 0.8<=B/T<=1.

- Catalog of galaxy structures based on the MRSS
- Short Name:
- J/other/JAD/12.1
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a catalogue of galaxy structures (groups and clusters) found in an area of 5000 square degrees in the southern hemisphere. The catalogue, which we call the PF Catalogue, was created by making use of galaxy positions and magnitudes given in the Muenster Red Sky Survey (MRSS, 2003JAD.....9....1U). We applied an automated procedure for structure finding, involving the Voronoi tessellation. The completeness limit for galaxies in the MRSS is r_F_=18.3m. Therefore, the present version of the PF Catalogue is based on galaxies brighter than this limit. In order to be included in the PF Catalogue, a structure must have at least 10 members in a magnitude range m_3_, m_3_+3^m^. We found 6188 structures which are listed in the present catalogue. The PF Catalogue contains positions, radii, areas, number of galaxies within the magnitude limit m_3_, m_3_+3^m^, a number estimation of background galaxies; ellipticity and position angle for each structure, as well as the magnitudes of the first, the third and the tenth galaxies in a structure, taken from the MRSS.

- Catalog of Gamma-Ray Bursts
- Short Name:
- GRBCAT
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This GRBs Catalog (GRBCAT) records high level information of the GRBs detected since their discovery in 1967. The catalog has been created using publications that report lists of GRB detections. These are mostly papers already published in refereed journals, unpublished papers, and PhD thesis presenting lists of GRBs. GRBCAT includes also compilation of bursts that were already present in the HEASARC database system. The catalog is organized with a main table reporting general information for each GRB and additional tables linked to the main table where specific information for the flux and the region of detection are reported. Afterglow measurements are also recorded in a separate table for all bursts detected after May 11 1996. The main table for each GRB contains an entry for each satellite that reports a detection with either a flux and/or position measurement. Therefore for a given GRB there are multiple records if the GRB was detected by more than one satellite. The associated flux table contains an entry for each flux and fluence values reported in literature for a given energy band. The positional information is reported via different tables each dedicated to a specific region of detection. The region descriptions are the following : circle, annulus, box, dual, annulus intersect, irregular, and intersect. The associated afterglow table contains position, intensity and redshift measurements taken after the discovery of the GRB. There are several records associated to a given GRB/afterglow since several observatories collected data on that position. The main table and the associated tables are updated when a new GRB and/or afterglow measurements are reported. This table was ingested by the HEASARC in June 2008 based on electronic versions obtained from the author(s), who compiled the catalog in 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The GRB Afterglow table contains intensity and redshift measurements obtained with ground based telescopes or with space based observatories carried out after the detection of the GRBs. The catalog has been created using information from journal publications, IAU circulars, and GCN notices, and records afterglow measurements for bursts detected after May 1996. Each record within this catalog is dedicated to a specific measurement of an afterglow made with an observatory. Therefore for a given GRB, there are several entries reporting afterglow measurements from the different observatories. This catalog is linked to the main GRB catalog and it is updated when a new GRB and/or afterglow measurements are reported. This table was ingested by the HEASARC in June 2008 based on electronic versions obtained from the author(s), who compiled the catalog in 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- This table is an associated to the GRBs Catalog and lists the parameters that define the localization region if the region is an intersection of annuli. For a given GRB the localization can be provided by different observatories with different region types or by the same region type with different parameters. The different region types reported in literature are the following: circle, annulus, box, dual, annulus intersect, irregular, and intersect. This table contains the description only for the annuli intersect region type, the other types are stored in separate tables. This localization region consists of in the intersection up to three annuli. Each annulus is described by a center given in RA and Dec, the radius of the annulus and by the half- width of the annulus. The measurements are reported as found in literature and any differences or remarks are included in one of the table parameter (local_notes). The literature references are provided in the GRBs Catalog main table which is linked to this region table. This table was ingested by the HEASARC in June 2008 based on electronic versions obtained from the author(s), who compiled the catalog in 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
