- Description:
- We present two new catalogues of radio-continuum sources in the field of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). These catalogues contain sources found at 4800MHz (λ=6cm) and 8640MHz (λ=3cm). Some 457 sources have been detected at 3cm with 601 sources at 6cm created from new high-sensitivity and resolution radio-continuum images of the SMC from Crawford et al.

- Description:
- We describe the results of a millijansky sensitivity VLA survey of roughly 1deg^2^ near the Galactic center at 6 and 20cm. Catalogs of compact and filamentary structures are given and compared to previous surveys of the region. Eight of the unusual nonthermal radio filaments are detected in 6cm polarized emission; three of these are the first such detections, confirming their nonthermal nature. This survey found emission from a filament at (l,b)=(359.1,0.75), or a projected distance from Sgr A* of 200pc, greatly extending the latitude range observed with such features. There is also new evidence for spatial gradients in the 6/20cm spectral indices of some filaments, and we discuss models for these gradients. In studying compact sources, the combination of spectral index and polarization information allows us to identify pulsar candidates and compact HII regions in the survey. There is also some evidence that the flux measurements of compact sources may be affected by electron scattering from the interstellar medium in the central few hundred parsecs of the Galaxy.

- Description:
- The Canis Major OB1 association has an intriguing scenario of star formation, especially in the region called Canis Major R1 (CMa R1) traditionally assigned to a reflection nebula, but in reality an ionized region. The authors focused on the young stellar population associated with CMa R1, for which previous results from ROSAT, optical, and near-infrared data had revealed two stellar groups with different ages, suggesting a possible mixing of populations originated from distinct star formation episodes (see the <a href="/W3Browse/rosat/cmar1xray.html">table CMAR1XRAY</a>). The observations performed with XMM-Newton resulted in a sample of 387 X-ray sources (187, 84, 37, and 79 in Fields E, C, S , and W, respectively), 340 of which have one or more NIR (2MASS) counterparts. This table contains the 2MASS photometry, estimates of age and mass, and infrared classification of members of the CMa R1 region and counterparts to X-ray sources, based on 2MASS and WISE data. The authors also used X-ray data to characterize the detected sources (387 sources) according to hardness ratios, light curves, and spectra (see the associated table <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/cmaob1xmm.html">CMAOB1XMM</a>). For this work, four fields (each about 30-arcmin diameter with some overlap) were defined. These fields are located inside the arc-shaped ionized nebula, next to Z CMa - Field E (east); around GU CMa - Field W (west); and between both - Field C (center) and Field S (south), as shown in Figure 1 of the reference paper. <pre> RA(J2000) | Dec(J2000) | Designation(s) 07 04 18.3 | -11 27 24.0 | CMa cluster east (Field E) 07 02 58.4 | -11 34 44.7 | CMa cluster center (Field C) 07 02 29.5 | -11 47 12.4 | CMa cluster south (Field S) 07 01 23.0 | -11 19 56.6 | CMa cluster west (Field W) </pre> The authors have selected NIR counterparts by searching the 2MASS catalog for candidates located less that 10'' away from the nominal X-ray source positions. No counterpart was found for 45 sources. Candidates for which the distance seems to be incompatible with the CMaR1 molecular cloud were disregarded. This table includes the complete list of NIR counterparts, however the authors only consider as reliable those flagged as 'AAA' in the 2MASS catalog (i.e., with S/N > 10, magnitude errors <0.1 mag, and above the JHK completeness limits), given by the twomass_flags field in this table. There are 340 such reliable NIR counterparts for 290 X-ray sources, including 46 X-ray sources with multiple counterpart candidates. X-ray and NIR data have revealed that most (79%) of the XMM-Newton sources are probable members of CMa R1. The combination of the results from both analyses can confirm their young nature. On the other hand, 21% of the XMM-Newton sample are probably field objects. Among these, 6% (23/387) have infrared counterparts that probably are foreground stars and 4% (17/387) have counterparts that are too faint (bad quality data) without reliable classification. The other 11% of undefined sources (44/387) do not have 2MASS data because they are classified as possible background objects. The authors have seen that the XMM-Newton error boxes may include multiple NIR counterparts. In such cases, they restricted the comparative analysis to the 158 X-ray sources of their "best sample" that are associated with a single NIR counterpart, as described in Section 4.3 of the reference paper. A distance of 1 kpc to CMa OB1 is assumed for this table.

The authors used X-ray data to characterize the detected sources according to hardness ratios, light curves, and spectra. They also provided estimates of mass and age, using the information from likely counterparts based on the 2MASS catalogue. The 2MASS-derived data on the counterparts, where matched, are provided in the <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/cmaob1nir.html">associated table (CMAOB1NIR)</a>. This table contains a catalog of 387 XMM-Newton sources, of which 78% are confirmed as members or probable members of the CMa R1 association. Flares (or similar events) were observed for 13 sources and the spectra of 21 bright sources could be fitted by a thermal plasma model. Mean values of fits parameters were used to estimate X-ray luminosities. The authors found a minimum value of log(L<sub>X</sub> [erg/s]) = 29.43, indicating that the sample of low-mass stars (M<sub>*</sub> <= 0.5 M<sub>sun</sub>), which are faint X-ray emitters, is incomplete. Among the 250 objects selected as the complete subsample (defining a "best sample"), 171 are found to the east of the cloud, near Z CMa and dense molecular gas, of which 50% of them are young (<5Myr) and 30% are older (>10Myr). The opposite happens to the west, near GU CMa, in areas lacking molecular gas: among 79 objects, 30% are young and 50% are older. These findings confirm that a first episode of distributed star formation occurred in the whole studied region ~10Myr ago and dispersed the molecular gas, while a second, localized episode (<5Myr) took place in the regions where molecular gas is still present. For this work, four fields (each about 30-arcmin diameter with some overlap) were observed with the XMM-Newton satellite. These fields are located inside the arc-shaped ionized nebula, next to Z CMa - Field E (east); around GU CMa - Field W (west); and between both - Field C (center) and Field S (south), as shown in Figure 1 of the reference paper. These observations were performed with the EPIC cameras (MOS1, MOS2, and PN) in full frame mode with a medium filter. The C, W, and S fields had an exposure time without background corrections of about 30 ks while field E had 40 ks. <pre> RA(J2000) | Dec(J2000) | Designation(s) 07 04 18.3 | -11 27 24.0 | CMa cluster east (Field E) 07 02 58.4 | -11 34 44.7 | CMa cluster center (Field C) 07 02 29.5 | -11 47 12.4 | CMa cluster south (Field S) 07 01 23.0 | -11 19 56.6 | CMa cluster west (Field W) </pre> This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2018 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/609/A127">CDS Catalog J/A+A/609/A127</a> file tableb1.dat.

- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We report the discovery of a second planet orbiting the K giant star 7 CMa based on 166 high-precision radial velocities obtained with Lick, HARPS, UCLES and SONG. The periodogram analysis reveals two periodic signals of approximately 745 and 980d, associated to planetary companions. A double-Keplerian orbital fit of the data reveals two Jupiter-like planets with minimum masses M_b_sini~1.9Mj and M_c_sini~0.9Mj, orbiting at semi-major axes of a_b_~1.75au and a_c_~2.15au, respectively. Given the small orbital separation and the large minimum masses of the planets close encounters may occur within the time baseline of the observations, thus, a more accurate N-body dynamical modeling of the available data is performed. The dynamical best-fit solution leads to collision of the planets and we explore the long-term stable configuration of the system in a Bayesian framework, confirming that 13% of the posterior samples are stable for at least 10Myr. The result from the stability analysis indicates that the two-planets are trapped in a low-eccentricity 4:3 mean-motion resonance. This is only the third discovered system to be inside a 4:3 resonance, making it very valuable for planet formation and orbital evolution models.

- Description:
- We describe a new estimate of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) intensity map reconstructed by a joint analysis of the full Planck 2015 data (PR2) and nine years of WMAP data. The proposed map provides more than a mere update of the CMB map introduced in a previous paper since it benefits from an improvement of the component separation method L-GMCA (Local-Generalized Morphological Component Analysis), which facilitates efficient separation of correlated components. Based on the most recent CMB data, we further confirm previous results showing that the proposed CMB map estimate exhibits appealing characteristics for astrophysical and cosmological applications: i) it is a full-sky map as it did not require any inpainting or interpolation postprocessing, ii) foreground contamination is very low even on the galactic center, and iii) the map does not exhibit any detectable trace of thermal SZ contamination. We show that its power spectrum is in good agreement with the Planck PR2 official theoretical best-fit power spectrum. Finally, following the principle of reproducible research, we provide the codes to reproduce the L-GMCA, which makes it the only reproducible CMB map.

- CMD and mass distribution of Ba stars

- Description:
- With the availability of parallaxes provided by the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution, it is possible to construct the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD) of barium and related stars with unprecedented accuracy. A direct result from the derived HRD is that subgiant CH stars occupy the same region as barium dwarfs, contrary to what their designations imply. By comparing the position of barium stars in the HRD with STAREVOL evolutionary tracks, it is possible to evaluate their masses, provided the metallicity is known. We used an average metallicity [Fe/H]=-0.25 and derived the mass distribution of barium giants. The distribution peaks around 2.5M_{sun}_, with a tail at higher masses up to 4.5M_{sun}_. This peak is seen as well in the mass distribution of a sample of normal K and M giants used for comparison and is associated with stars located in the red clump. When we compare these mass distributions, we see a deficit of low-mass (1-2M_{sun}_) barium giants. This is probably because low-mass stars reach large radii at the tip of the red giant branch, which may have resulted in an early binary interaction. Among barium giants, the high-mass tail is however dominated by stars with a barium index (based on a visual inspection of the barium spectral line) less than unity, i.e., with a very moderate barium line strength. We believe that these stars are not genuine barium giants, but rather bright giants (or supergiants) where the barium lines are strengthened because of a positive luminosity effect. Moreover, contrary to previous claims, we do not see differences between the mass distributions of mild and strong barium giants.

- 6 & 1.3cm deep VLA obs. toward 58 high-mass SFRs

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present a high-sensitivity radio continuum survey at 6 and 1.3cm using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array toward a sample of 58 high-mass star-forming regions. Our sample was chosen from dust clumps within infrared dark clouds with and without IR sources (CMC-IRs and CMCs, respectively), and hot molecular cores (HMCs), with no previous, or relatively weak radio continuum detection at the 1mJy level. Due to the improvement in the continuum sensitivity of the Very Large Array, this survey achieved map rms levels of ~3-10{mu}Jy/beam at sub-arcsecond angular resolution. We extracted 70 continuum sources associated with 1.2mm dust clumps. Most sources are weak, compact, and prime candidates for high-mass protostars. Detection rates of radio sources associated with the millimeter dust clumps for CMCs, CMC-IRs, and HMCs are 6%, 53%, and 100%, respectively. This result is consistent with increasing high-mass star formation activity from CMCs to HMCs. The radio sources located within HMCs and CMC-IRs occur close to the dust clump centers, with a median offset from it of 12000au and 4000au, respectively. We calculated 5-25GHz spectral indices using power-law fits and obtained a median value of 0.5 (i.e., flux increasing with frequency), suggestive of thermal emission from ionized jets. In this paper we describe the sample, observations, and detections.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The prime focus CCD camera of the KPNO 4 m telescope has been used to image Andromeda III, a dwarf spheroidal galaxy companion to M31, in the V and I bands. The resulting color-magnitude diagram shows a well defined giant branch whose tip luminosity corresponds to that expected for an old metal-poor population at the distance of M31. By comparing these data with the giant branches of metal-poor population at the distance of M31. By comparing these data with the giant branches of Galactic globular clusters, we determine that the abundance of And III is [Fe/H]=-2.0+/-0.15; with this abundance And III lies on the luminosity-abundance relation defined by the Galactic dwarf spheroidal galaxies. There is some evidence for a small (0.16<{sigma}([Fe/H])<0.24) intrinsic abundance dispersion within And III, but we are unable to unambiguously establish its presence. A study of the And III I-band luminosity function yields a distance modulus (m-M)_0_ of 24.4+/-0.2 for this galaxy, and indicates that the fraction of intermediate-age (3 to 10Gyr) population in And III is approximately 10+/-10 percent. In all these aspects And III, like And I, is similar to the Galactic dwarf spheroidal systems, indicating that M31 and the Galaxy provided similar conditions for the evolution of such galaxies.
