- Description:
- We present 21cm HI line observations of 5x1deg^2^ centred on the local Abell cluster 1367 obtained as part of the Arecibo Galaxy Environment Survey. One hundred sources are detected (79 new HI measurements and 50 new redshifts), more than half belonging to the cluster core and its infalling region. Combining the HI data with Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) optical imaging, we show that our HI selected sample follows scaling relations similar to the ones usually observed in optically selected samples. Interestingly, all galaxies in our sample appear to have nearly the same baryon fraction independently of their size, surface brightness and luminosity. The most striking difference between HI and optically selected samples resides in their large-scale distribution: whereas optical and X-ray observations trace the cluster core very well, in HI there is almost no evidence of the presence of the cluster. Some implications on the determination of the cluster luminosity function and HI distribution for samples selected at different wavelength are also discussed.

- Abell 1689 imaging and spectroscopy
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We present imaging and spectroscopy of Abell 1689 (z=0.183) from the Gemini multi-object spectrograph (GMOS) on the Gemini North telescope and the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We measure integrated photometry from the GMOS g' and r' images (for 531 galaxies) and surface photometry from the HSTF625W image (for 43 galaxies) as well as velocities and velocity dispersions from the GMOS spectra (for 71 galaxies). We construct the Kormendy, Faber-Jackson and colour-magnitude relations for early-type galaxies in Abell 1689 using these data and compare them to those of the Coma cluster.

- Description:
- The morphology and stellar populations of low-luminosity early-type galaxies in clusters have until now been limited to a few relatively nearby clusters such as Virgo or Fornax. Scenarii for the formation and evolution of dwarf galaxies in clusters are therefore not well constrained. We investigate here the morphology and stellar populations of low-luminosity galaxies in the relaxed richness class 1 cluster Abell 496 (z=0.0330). Deep multiband imaging obtained with the CFHT Megacam allowed us to select a sample of faint galaxies, defined here as objects with magnitudes 18<r'<22mag within a 1.2arcsec fibre (-18.8<MB<-15.1mag). We observed 118 galaxies spectroscopically with the ESO VLT FLAMES/Giraffe spectrograph with a resolving power R=6300. We present structural analysis and colour maps for the 48 galaxies belonging to the cluster. We fit the spectra of 46 objects with PEGASE. HR synthetic spectra to estimate the ages, metallicities, and velocity dispersions. We estimated possible biases by similarly analysing spectra of ~1200 early-type galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6 (SDSS DR6). We computed values of {alpha}/Fe abundance ratios from the measurements of Lick indices. We briefly discuss effects of the fixed aperture size on the measurements.

- Title:
- Abell 1763 MIPS 70 micron Catalog
- Short Name:
- A1763m70
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
- Description:
- The Abell 1763 data set includes images in r', J, H, and Ks obtained using the Palomar 200in telescope, as well as the IRAC and MIPS images from Spitzer. The cluster is covered out to approximately 3 virial radii with deep 24 mum imaging (a 5sigma depth of 0.2 mJy). This same field of ~40' × 40' is covered in all four IRAC bands as well as the longer wavelength MIPS bands (70 and 160 mum). The r' imaging covers ~0.8 deg2 down to 25.5 mag, and overlaps with most of the MIPS field of view. The J, H, and Ks images cover the cluster core and roughly half of the filament galaxies, which extend toward the neighboring cluster, Abell 1770. Approximately 30% of the 70 micron image is not covered by the 24 micron image (nor the IRAC, MIPS 160 micron, or WIRC fields of view). A separate catalog for these 733 sources is presented here. This catalog was matched against the 2MASS Point Source Catalog but NIR magnitudes are not included as only ~7% of the sources have 2MASS associations.

- Short Name:
- J/A+A/622/A22
- Date:

- Description:
- A number of radio observations have revealed the presence of large synchrotron-emitting sources associated with the intra-cluster medium. There is strong observational evidence that the emitting particles have been (re-)accelerated by shocks and turbulence generated during merger events. The particles that are accelerated are thought to have higher initial energies than those in the thermal pool but the origin of such mildly relativistic particles remains uncertain and needs to be further investigated. The galaxy cluster Abell 1914 is a massive galaxy cluster in which X-ray observations show clear evidence of merging activity. We carried out radio observations of this cluster with the LOw Frequency ARay (LOFAR) at 150MHz and the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) at 610MHz. We also analysed Very Large Array (VLA) 1.4GHz data, archival GMRT 325MHz data, CFHT weak lensing data and Chandra observations. Our analysis shows that the ultra-steep spectrum source (4C38.39; {alpha}<~-2), previously thought to be part of a radio halo, is a distinct source with properties that are consistent with revived fossil plasma sources. Finally, we detect some diffuse emission to the west of the source 4C38.39 that could belong to a radio halo.

- Abell 370 MUSE redshifts

- Description:
- We present a strong lensing analysis on the massive cluster Abell 370 (A370; z=0.375), using a combination of deep multiband Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging and Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) spectroscopy. From only 2 h of the MUSE data, we are able to measure 120 redshifts in the southern BCG area, including several multiply imaged lens systems. In total, we increase the number of multiply imaged systems with a secure redshift from 4 to 15, nine of which are newly discovered. Of these, eight are located at z>3, greatly extending the redshift range of spectroscopically confirmed systems over previous work. Using these systems as constraints, we update a parametric lens model of A370, probing the mass distribution from cluster to galaxy scales. Overall, we find that a model with only two cluster-scale dark matter haloes (one for each BCG) does a poor job of fitting these new image constraints. Instead, two additional mass clumps - a central 'bar' of mass located between the BCGs, and another clump located within a 'crown' of galaxies in the northern part of the cluster field - provide significant improvements to the fit. Additional physical evidence suggests these clumps are indeed real features of the system, but with relatively few image constraints in the crown region, this claim is difficult to evaluate from a modelling perspective. Additional MUSE observations of A370 covering the entire strong-lensing region will greatly help these efforts, further improving our understanding of this intriguing cluster.

- Description:
- Two catalogues of galaxies in the direction of the cluster Abell 496 are presented. The first one includes 3,879 galaxies located in a region roughly +/-1.3 degree from the cluster centre ; it has been obtained by scanning part of a Schmidt photographic plate taken in the Bj band. Positions are very accurate but magnitudes are not. A second catalogue gives a list of galaxies with CCD magnitudes in the V (239 galaxies) and R (610 galaxies) bands for a much smaller region in the centre of the cluster.

- Description:
- Thermal gas in the center of galaxy clusters can show substantial motions that generate surface brightness and temperature discontinuities known as cold fronts. The motions may be triggered by minor or o-axis mergers that preserve the cool-core of the system. The dynamics of the thermal gas can also generate radio emission from the intra-cluster medium (ICM) and impact the evolution of clusters radio sources. We study the central region of Abell 1775, a system in an ambiguous dynamical state at z=0.072 which is known to host an extended head-tail radio galaxy, with the aim of investigating the connection between thermal and non-thermal components in its center. We made use of a deep (100ks) Chandra observation accompanied by LOFAR 144MHz, GMRT 235MHz and 610MHz, and VLA 1.4GHz radio data. We find a spiral-like pattern in the X-ray surface brightness that is mirrored in the temperature and pseudo-entropy maps. Additionally, we characterize an arc-shaped cold front in the ICM. We interpret these features in the context of a slingshot gas tail scenario. The structure of the head-tail radio galaxy "breaks" at the position of the cold front, showing an extension that is detected only at low frequencies, likely due to its steep and curved spectrum. We speculate that particle re-acceleration is occurring in the outer region of this tail, that in total covers a projected size of 800kpc. We also report the discovery of revived fossil plasma with ultra-steep spectrum radio emission in the cluster core together with a central diffuse radio source that is bounded by the arc-shaped cold front. The results reported in this work demonstrate the interplay between thermal and non-thermal components in the cluster center and the presence of ongoing particle re-acceleration in the ICM on different scales.
