Description:
We present galactic spectroscopic data from a pencil beam of 10.75'x7.5' centered on the X-ray cluster RXJ0054.0-2823 at z=0.29. We study the spectral evolution of galaxies from z=1 down to the cluster redshift in a magnitude-limited sample at R<=23, for which the statistical properties of the sample are well understood. We divide emission-line galaxies into star-forming galaxies, Low Ionization Nuclear Emission line Regions (LINERs), and Seyferts by using emission-line ratios of [OII],H{beta}, and [OIII], and derive stellar fractions from population synthesis models. We focus our analysis on absorption and low-ionization galaxies.

Description:
We present a compilation of hopefully all published galaxies and quasars that were ever optically identified within |b|=<5deg. We present 2304 objects and list (and discuss), in addition to their (often considerably improved) coordinates, the best available morphological type, optical maximum diameters in the red, up-to-date heliocentric radial velocities, references to the papers where a specific object was first optically identified and results of cross-checks with the IRAS point source catalogue.

Description:
We have carried out a systematic search for galaxies in the galactic plane in a ten degree wide strip (-5deg<=b<=+5deg). In an area of 300 square degrees between l=180deg and l=210deg, 755 galaxies have been detected on Palomar red- sensitive prints. The smallest galaxies show diameters of 0.1mm corresponding to 6.7". We extended our survey to {delta}=-27deg i.e. l=~247deg to check our catalogue for completeness by comparing it with the Saito et al. (1990, 1991) catalogues of galaxies and present 334 new galaxy candidates at l>=210deg. An asymmetry with respect to the galactic equator is obvious. By assuming the 60{mu} and 100{mu} sky flux density to be a rough measure of the total interstellar galactic extinction, and comparing them with the surface densities of the galaxies, we detected one possible galaxy cluster candidate at (l,b)=~(181.5deg+3.5deg), a concentration of galaxies at (l,b)=~(195deg+4.5deg), and confirmed three other galaxy concentrations. Finally, we argue that the red-sensitive surveys (ESO R; POSS II-R, POSS II-IR) are the best suitable material for galaxy searches in the zone of avoidance.

Description:
As the third part in a series of papers on galaxies in the "zone of avoidance" (ZOA) of the Milky Way we present a compilation of 1161 galaxies discovered during a systematic search on Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS) red-sensitive prints. The region searched comprises 200 square degrees, at 120deg<=l<=130deg, -10deg<=b<=+10deg. In addition to galactic, equatorial and rectangular coordinates, we list maximum and minimum optical diameters derived from both the red- and blue-sensitive prints, could assign a morphological type to some of the objects and made cross-checks with the IRAS PSC and several radio catalogues. A test for completeness suggests, that our catalogue should be complete down to a limiting galaxy-diameter of 0.35'. An asymmetric distribution of the galaxies with respect to the galactic equator was found and is discussed by comparing it with the locations of optically visible dust clouds and/or the distribution of IR-emitting dust material. A comparison between the distribution of the galaxies and the 100{mu} IRAS intensity maps led to the identification of four possible clusterings. As a byproduct of our galaxy search, two new planetary nebulae, nebulous stars at the position of a strong cold IRAS point source, and a nearby dwarf irregular galaxy could be detected.

Description:
As the fourth part in a series of papers on galaxies in the "zone of avoidance" (ZOA) of the Milky Way we present a compilation of 1067 galaxies discovered during a systematic search on Palomar Observatory Sky Survey I (POSSI) red-sensitive prints. The region searched comprises 500 square degrees, at 130{deg}<=l<=180{deg}, -5{deg}<=b<=+5{deg}. In addition to galactic and equatorial coordinates, we list maximum and minimum optical diameters derived from both the red- and blue-sensitive prints and made cross checks with the IRAS PSC catalogue. An asymmetric distribution of the galaxies with respect to the galactic equator is found and is compared to the locations of optically visible dust clouds and/or the distribution of IR-emitting dust material. There is a pronounced bridge of galaxies across the galactic plane at l=~160{deg} which will be discussed according to recent results on the extension of the Pisces-Perseus supercluster.

Description:
As the fifth part in our series of papers on galaxies in the "zone of avoidance" (ZOA) of the Milky Way we present 1346 new galaxy candidates discovered during a systematic search on Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSSI-E) red-sensitive prints. The region searched comprises 400 square degrees at 90{deg}<=l<=110{deg}, -10{deg}<=b<=+10{deg}. We list galactic and equatorial coordinates, maximum optical diameters and diameters of the core, if visible, both for the red- and blue-sensitive POSS prints. An asymmetric distribution of the galaxies with respect to the galactic equator is found and can most probably be attributed to the galactic warp. We also present radial velocities for 14 galaxies measured for the first time which are located in the region where a branch of the Pisces Perseus Supercluster is approaching the ZOA from the south (l=~90{deg}, b=~-10{deg}).

Galaxies in X-ray groups. I. COSMOS memberships

Description:
Understanding the mechanisms that lead dense environments to host galaxies with redder colors, more spheroidal morphologies, and lower star formation rates than field populations remains an important problem. As most candidate processes ultimately depend on host halo mass, accurate characterizations of the local environment, ideally tied to halo mass estimates and spanning a range in halo mass and redshift, are needed. In this work, we present and test a rigorous, probabilistic method for assigning galaxies to groups based on precise photometric redshifts and X-ray-selected groups drawn from the COSMOS field. The groups have masses in the range 10^13^<~M_200c_/M_{sun}_<~10^14^ and span redshifts 0<z<1. We characterize our selection algorithm via tests on spectroscopic subsamples, including new data obtained at the Very Large Telescope, and by applying our method to detailed mock catalogs. We find that our group member galaxy sample has a purity of 84% and completeness of 92% within 0.5R_200c_. We measure the impact of uncertainties in redshifts and group centering on the quality of the member selection with simulations based on current data as well as future imaging and spectroscopic surveys. As a first application of our new group member catalog which will be made publicly available, we show that member galaxies exhibit a higher quenched fraction compared to the field at fixed stellar mass out to z~1, indicating a significant relationship between star formation and environment at group scales. We also address the suggestion that dusty star-forming galaxies in such groups may impact the high-l power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background and find that such a population cannot explain the low power seen in recent Sunyaev-Zel'dovich measurements.

Galaxies redshifts, 210<l<360, |b|<15
Short Name:

Publisher:

Description:
We have carried out a redshift survey of an IRAS flux-limited (f_60_>0.6) galaxy sample behind the southern Milky Way, 210{deg}<l<360{deg} at |b|<15{deg}. The survey includes redshifts for 951 galaxies, ~500 of which are new. Of these 951 galaxies, 462 are in the zone 5{deg}<b<15{deg} and 353 are in the zone -15{deg}<b<-5{deg}. Though the innermost region of the Milky Way (|b|=5{deg}) remains opaque except in the longitude near 240, the detected galaxies show a high degree of completeness (~70%) in the zones 5{deg}<b<15{deg} and -15{deg}<b<-5{deg}. The cone diagrams exhibiting the detailed distribution of IRAS galaxies in the region 210{deg}<l<360{deg}, |b|<15{deg} shows two clusters in the Puppis region (l=240{deg}, b=-7{deg}, v=2400km/s; l=245{deg}, b=-5{deg}, v=7500km/s), the A3627 cluster (l=325{deg}, b=-7{deg}; v=4500km/s), the S4 cluster (l=280{deg}, b=7{deg}; v=5500km/s), and a possible void at l=245{deg}, v=3000km/s. The region 270{deg}<l<350{deg} is dominated by overdensity of galaxies representing the extension of the Hydra-Centaurus complex in the positive latitudes and the Pavo-Indus complex in the negative latitudes. A velocity histogram of galaxies in the GA region 290{deg}<l<350{deg}, |b|<15{deg}. reveals a substantial overdensity of galaxies in the velocity range 2400-5000km/s. The centroid of this overdensity is located at 4000km/s. The broad increased density of galaxies seen in our data corresponds with the distant concentration seen at 4500km/s in the supergalactic plane survey that covers the same longitude range like ours in l, but a larger range in latitude b (-30{deg} to -10{deg} and +10{deg} to +45{deg}). This lends support to the idea that the overdensity extends all the way from the Centaurus-Hydra complex (l=302{deg}, b=+22{deg}) in the north to the major concentration of the Pavo-Indus supercluster (l=332{deg}, b=-24{deg}) in the south, through the Milky Way. We conclude that the peak of the overdensity responsible for the peculiar velocity field in the local region is possibly situated in the Milky Way itself.

Galaxies with disc breaks in S4G and NIRS0S
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We study the surface brightness profiles of disc galaxies in the 3.6{mu}m images from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) and Ks-band images from the Near-Infrared S0-Sa galaxy Survey (NIRS0S). We particularly connect properties of single exponential (type I), downbending double exponential (type II), and upbending double exponential (type III) disc profile types, to structural components of galaxies by using detailed morphological classifications, and size measurements of rings and lenses. We also study how the local environment of the galaxies affects the profile types by calculating parameters describing the environmental density and the tidal interaction strength. We find that in majority of type II profiles the break radius is connected with structural components such as rings, lenses, and spirals. The exponential disc sections of all three profile types, when considered separately, follow the disc scaling relations. However, the outer discs of type II, and the inner discs of type III, are similar in scalelength to the single exponential discs. Although the different profile types have similar mean environmental parameters, the scalelengths of the type III profiles show a positive correlation with the tidal interaction strength.
