Description:
On the photon counter data observed with Photoeleetric Transit Instrument of Beijing Astronomical Observatory during the period from 1988 to 1990, corrections of right ascensions of 324 stars are given. The mean precision (<m_{DELTA}{alpha}cos{delta}_>) is 4.7ms. The mean observational epoch is 1989.7. The relations of residuals with magnitudes and spectral types are discussed and given respectively. Finally the systematic corrections (PPCP4-FK4) are also analysed.
262. FRBCAT: The Fast Radio Burst (FRB) Catalog

FRBCAT: The Fast Radio Burst (FRB) Catalog
Short Name:

Description:
Here, we present a catalogue of known Fast Radio Burst sources in the form of an online catalogue, FRBCAT. The catalogue includes information about the instrumentation used for the observations for each detected burst, the measured quantities from each observation, and model-dependent quantities derived from observed quantities. To aid in consistent comparisons of burst properties such as width and signal-to-noise ratios, we have re-processed all the bursts for which we have access to the raw data, with software which we make available. The originally derived properties are also listed for comparison.
263. FR0CAT. a FIRST catalog of FR 0 radio galaxies

FR0CAT. a FIRST catalog of FR 0 radio galaxies
Short Name:

Description:
With the aim of exploring the properties of the class of FR 0 radio galaxies, we selected a sample of 108 compact radio sources, called FR0CAT, by combining observations from the NVSS, FIRST, and SDSS surveys. We included in the catalog sources with redshift <=0.05, with a radio size <=5kpc, and with an optical spectrum characteristic of low-excitation galaxies. Their radio luminosities at 1.4GHz are in the range 10^38^<={nu}L_1.4_<=10^40^erg/s. The FR0CAT hosts are mostly (86%) luminous (-21>=M_r_>=-23) red early-type galaxies with black hole masses 10^8^<=M_BH_<=10^9^M_{sun}_. These properties are similar to those seen for the hosts of FR I radio galaxies, but they are on average a factor ~1.6 less massive. The number density of FR0CAT sources is ~5 times higher than that of FR Is, and thus they represent the dominant population of radio sources in the local Universe. Different scenarios are considered to account for the smaller sizes and larger abundance of FR 0s with respect to FR Is. An age-size scenario that considers FR 0s as young radio galaxies that will all eventually evolve into extended radio sources cannot be reconciled with the large space density of FR 0s. However, the radio activity recurrence, with the duration of the active phase covering a wide range of values and with short active periods strongly favored with respect to longer ones, might account for their large density number. Alternatively, the jet properties of FR 0s might be intrinsically different from those of the FR Is, the former class having lower bulk Lorentz factors, possibly due to lower black hole spins. Our study indicates that FR 0s and FR I/IIs can be interpreted as two extremes of a continuous population of radio sources that is characterized by a broad distribution of sizes and luminosities of their extended radio emission, but shares a single class of host galaxies.
264. FRICAT. FIRST catalog of FR I radio galaxies
ID:

Title:
FRICAT. FIRST catalog of FR I radio galaxies
Short Name:
J/A+A/598/A49
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We built a catalog of 219 FR I radio galaxies (FR Is), called FRICAT, selected from a published sample and obtained by combining observations from the NVSS, FIRST, and SDSS surveys. We included in the catalog the sources with an edge-darkened radio morphology, redshift >=0.15, and extending (at the sensitivity of the FIRST images) to a radius r larger than 30kpc from the center of the host. We also selected an additional sample (sFRICAT) of 14 smaller (10<r<30kpc) FR Is, limiting to z<0.05. The hosts of the FRICAT sources are all luminous (-21>=M_r_>=-24), red early-type galaxies with black hole masses in the range 10^8^<=M_BH_<=3x10^9^M_{sun}_; the spectroscopic classification based on the optical emission line ratios indicates that they are all low excitation galaxies. Sources in the FRICAT are then indistinguishable from the FR Is belonging to the Third Cambridge Catalogue of Radio Sources (3C) on the basis of their optical properties. Conversely, while the 3C-FR Is show a strong positive trend between radio and [O III] emission line luminosity, these two quantities are unrelated in the FRICAT sources; at a given line luminosity, they show radio luminosities spanning about two orders of magnitude and extending to much lower ratios between radio and line power than 3C-FR Is. Our main conclusion is that the 3C-FR Is just represent the tip of the iceberg of a much larger and diverse population of FR Is.
265. Friends-of-friends galaxy group finder

Title:
Friends-of-friends galaxy group finder
Short Name:
J/A+A/588/A14
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We improve the widely used friends-of-friends (FoF) group finding algorithm with membership refinement procedures and apply the method to a combined dataset of galaxies in the local Universe. A major aim of the refinement is to detect subgroups within the FoF groups, enabling a more reliable suppression of the fingers-of-God effect. The FoF algorithm is often suspected of leaving subsystems of groups and clusters undetected. We used a galaxy sample built of the 2MRS, CF2, and 2M++ survey data comprising nearly 80000 galaxies within the local volume of 430Mpc radius to detect FoF groups. We conducted a multimodality check on the detected groups in search for subgroups. We furthermore refined group membership using the group virial radius and escape velocity to expose unbound galaxies. We used the virial theorem to estimate group masses. The analysis results in a catalogue of 6282 galaxy groups in the 2MRS sample with two or more members, together with their mass estimates. About half of the initial FoF groups with ten or more members were split into smaller systems with the multimodality check.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The paper presents the results of determination of fundamental parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, luminosity, mass, radius, rotation velocity, and radial velocity) for 146 stars observed at the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences with the Main Stellar Spectrograph during 2009-2011; 124 of the stars are magnetic or potentially magnetic objects. We obtained and analyzed at least 500 pairs of circularly-polarized-emission spectra. Various methods and approaches were used in estimating the fundamental parameters.

Title:
Fundamental Plane analysis in Shapley
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a Fundamental Plane (FP) analysis of 141 early-type galaxies in the Shapley supercluster at z=0.049 based on spectroscopy from the AAOmega spectrograph at the Anglo-Australian Telescope and photometry from the WFI on the European Southern Observatory/MPI 2.2-m telescope.

Title:
Fundamental plane galaxies redshifts
Short Name:
J/A+AS/140/327
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Radial velocities and central velocity dispersions are derived for 238 E/S0 galaxies from medium-resolution spectroscopy. New spectroscopic data have been obtained as part of a study of the Fundamental Plane distances and peculiar motions of early-type galaxies in three selected directions of the South Equatorial Strip, undertaken in order to investigate the reality of large-scale streaming motion; results of this study have been reported in Mueller et al. (1998ApJ...507L.105M). The new APM South Equatorial Strip Catalog (-17.5deg<{delta}<+2.5deg) (Raychaudhury & Lynden-Bell, 2000) was used to select the sample of field galaxies in three directions: (1) 15h10-16h10; (2) 20h30-21h50; (3) 00h10-01h30. The spectra obtained have a median S/N per {AA} of 23, an instrumental resolution (FWHM) of ~4{AA}, and the spectrograph resolution (dispersion) is ~100km/s. The Fourier cross-correlation method was used to derive the radial velocities and velocity dispersions. The velocity dispersions have been corrected for the size of the aperture and for the galaxy effective radius. Comparisons of the derived radial velocities with data from the literature show that our values are accurate to 40km/s. A comparison with results from Jorgensen et al. (1995MNRAS.276.1341J) shows that the derived central velocity dispersion have an rms scatter of 0.036 in log{sigma}. There is no offset relative to the velocity dispersions of Davies et al. (1987ApJS...64..581D).
269. Gaia FGK benchmark stars v2.1
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/III/281
Title:
Gaia FGK benchmark stars v2.1
Short Name:
III/281
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
In this era of large spectroscopic surveys of stars of the Milky Way, pipelines need to be tested and validated against a set of well-known stars. The Gaia FGK benchmark stars (GBS) are among the preferred samples of reference stars. They consist of a small but carefully selected sample of stars whose parameters are derived consistently and homogeneously. A series of papers has been published that discuss the definition and evolution of the sample of GBS. Here we summarise this work and provide our current list of stars with associated parameters which are recommended for validation and calibration purposes for stellar surveys.
270. GaiaSimu Universe Model Snapshot
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/VI/137
Title:
GaiaSimu Universe Model Snapshot
Short Name:
VI/137
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Context: This study has been developed in the framework of the computational simulations that are executed for the preparation of the ESA Gaia astrometric mission. Aims: We focus on describing the objects and characteristics that Gaia will potentially observe without taking into consideration instrumental effects (detection efficiency, observing errors). Methods: The theoretical Universe Model prepared for the Gaia simulation has been statistically analysed at a given time. Ingredients of the model are described, with the greatest emphasis on the stellar content, the double and multiple stars, and variability. Results: In this simulation the errors have not yet been included. Hence we estimated the number of objects and their theoretical photometric, astrometric and spectroscopic characteristics if they are perfectly detected.We show that Gaia will be able to potentially observe 1.1 billion of stars (single or part of multiple star systems) of which about 2% are variable stars and 3% have one or two exoplanets. At the extragalactic level, observations will be potentially composed of several millions of galaxies, half a million to 1 million quasars and about 50,000 supernovae that will occur during the five years of the mission.
