Description:
We reconsidered the previous studies of properties of magnetic stars based on the latest data on average surface magnetic fields of 177 stars. New, corrected results have been obtained that allow a better understanding of the phenomenon of magnetic chemically peculiar stars.
472. MALT90 Catalogue
ID:

Title:
MALT90 Catalogue
Short Name:

Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Millimetre Astronomy Legacy Team 90GHz survey aims to characterise the physical and chemical evolution of high-mass clumps. Recently completed, it mapped 90GHz line emission towards 3246 high-mass clumps identified from the ATLASGAL 870um Galactic plane survey. By utilising the broad frequency coverage of the Mopra telescope's spectrometer, maps in 16 different emission lines were simultaneously obtained. Here, we describe the first catalogue of the detected line emission, generated by Gaussian profile fitting to spectra extracted towards each clumps' 870um dust continuum peak. Synthetic spectra show that the catalogue has a completeness of >95%, a probability of a false-positive detection of <0.3%, and a relative uncertainty in the measured quantities of <20% over the range of detection criteria. The detection rates are highest for the (1-0) transitions of HCO^+^, HNC, N_2_H^+^, and HCN (~77-89%). Almost all clumps (~95%) are detected in at least one of the molecular transitions, just over half of the clumps (~53%) are detected in four or more of the transitions, while only one clump is detected in 13 transitions. We find several striking trends in the ensemble of properties for the different molecular transitions when plotted as a function of the clumps' evolutionary state as estimated from Spitzer mid-IR images, including (1) HNC is relatively brighter in colder, less evolved clumps than those that show active star formation, (2) N2H+ is relatively brighter in the earlier stages, (3) that the observed optical depth decreases as the clumps evolve, and (4) the optically thickest HCO^+^ emission shows a 'blue-red asymmetry' indicating overall collapse that monotonically decreases as the clumps evolve. This catalogue represents the largest compiled database of line emission towards high-mass clumps and is a valuable data set for detailed studies of these objects.
473. MaNGA catalog, DR15

Title:
MaNGA catalog, DR15

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We describe the sample design for the SDSS-IV MaNGA survey and present the final properties of the main samples along with important considerations for using these samples for science. Our target selection criteria were developed while simultaneously optimizing the size distribution of the MaNGA integral field units (IFUs), the IFU allocation strategy, and the target density to produce a survey defined in terms of maximizing signal-to-noise ratio, spatial resolution, and sample size. Our selection strategy makes use of redshift limits that only depend on i-band absolute magnitude (M_i_), or, for a small subset of our sample, M i and color (NUV-i). Such a strategy ensures that all galaxies span the same range in angular size irrespective of luminosity and are therefore covered evenly by the adopted range of IFU sizes. We define three samples: the Primary and Secondary samples are selected to have a flat number density with respect to M_i_ and are targeted to have spectroscopic coverage to 1.5 and 2.5 effective radii (Re), respectively. The Color-Enhanced supplement increases the number of galaxies in the low-density regions of color-magnitude space by extending the redshift limits of the Primary sample in the appropriate color bins. The samples cover the stellar mass range 5x10^8^<=M*<=3x10^11^M_{sun}/h^2^ and are sampled at median physical resolutions of 1.37 and 2.5kpc for the Primary and Secondary samples, respectively. We provide weights that will statistically correct for our luminosity and color-dependent selection function and IFU allocation strategy, thus correcting the observed sample to a volume-limited sample.

Title:
Mapping the stellar age of the Milky Way
Short Name:
J/A+A/629/A1
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The bulge represents the best compromise between old and massive Galactic component, and as such its study is a valuable opportunity to understand how the bulk of the Milky Way formed and evolved. In addition, being the only bulge in which we can individually resolve stars in all evolutionary sequences, the properties of its stellar content provide crucial insights on the formation of bulges at large. We aim at providing a detailed and comprehensive census of the Milky Way bulge stellar populations by producing deep and accurate photometric catalogs of the inner ~300 sqdeg of the Galaxy. We perform DAOPHOT/ALLFRAME PSF-fitting photometry of multi-epochs J and Ks images provided by the VVV survey to obtain deep photometric catalogs. Artificial star experiments have been conducted on all images to properly assess the completeness and the accuracy of the photometric measurements. We present a photometric database containing nearly 600 million stars across the bulge area surveyed by the VVV. Through the comparison of derived color-magnitude diagrams of selected fields representative of different levels of extinction and crowding, we show the quality, completeness and depth of the new catalogs. With the exception of the fields located along the plane, this new photometry samples stars down to ~1-2mag below the MS-TO with unprecedented accuracy. To demonstrate the tremendous potential inherent to this new dataset, we give few examples of possible applications such as: i) star counts studies through the dataset completeness map; ii) surface brightness map; and iii) cross-correlation with Gaia DR2. The database presented here represents an invaluable collection for the whole community, and we encourage its exploitation. The photometric catalogs including completeness information are publicly available through the ESO Science Archive.
475. MAPS-PP catalog of galaxies
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/116/1094
Title:
MAPS-PP catalog of galaxies
Short Name:
J/AJ/116/1094
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
A search for preferential galaxy alignments in the Pisces-Perseus Supercluster (PPS) is made using the Minnesota Automated Plate Scanner Pisces-Perseus Survey (MAPS-PP). The MAPS-PP is a catalog of ~1400 galaxies with a (roughly) isophotal diameter greater than 30" constructed from digitized scans of the blue and red plates of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey covering the PPS. This is the largest sample of galaxies applied to a search of galaxy alignments in this supercluster, and it has been used in combination with previously published redshifts to construct the deepest PPS galaxy luminosity function to date. While previous studies have relied extensively on catalogs with visually estimated parameters for both sample selection and determination of galaxy orientation, the MAPS-PP uses selection criteria and measurements that are entirely machine and computer based. Therefore, it is not susceptible to some of the biases, such as the diameter inclination effect, known to exist in some other galaxy catalogs. The presence of anisotropic galaxy distributions is determined by use of the Kuiper statistic, a robust alternative to the chi^2 statistic more traditionally used in these studies.

477. 2MASS galaxy group catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/149/171
Title:
2MASS galaxy group catalog
Short Name:
J/AJ/149/171
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
A galaxy group catalog is built from the sample of the 2MASS Redshift Survey almost complete to K_s_=11.75 over 91% of the sky. Constraints in the construction of the groups were provided by scaling relations determined by close examination of well defined groups with masses between 10^11^ and 10^15^M_{sun}_. Group masses inferred from K_s_ luminosities are statistically in agreement with masses calculated from application of the virial theorem. While groups have been identified over the full redshift range of the sample, the properties of the nearest and farthest groups are uncertain and subsequent analysis has only considered groups with velocities between 3000 and 10000km/s. The 24044 galaxies in this range are identified with 13607 entities, 3461 of them with two or more members. A group mass function is constructed. The Sheth-Tormen formalism provides a good fit to the shape of the mass function for group masses above 6h^-1^x10^12^M_{sun}_ but the count normalization is poor. Summing all the mass associated with the galaxy groups between 3000 and 10000km/s gives a density of collapsed matter as a fraction of the critical density of {Omega}_collapsed_=0.16.
478. Massive discs in cosmological simulations
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/640/A70
Title:
Massive discs in cosmological simulations
Short Name:
J/A+A/640/A70
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We investigate the disc-halo connection in massive (M*>5x10^10^M_{sun}_) disc galaxies from the cosmological hydrodynamical simulations EAGLE and IllustrisTNG, and compare it with that inferred from the study of HI rotation curves in nearby massive spirals from the Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves (SPARC) dataset. We find that discrepancies between the simulated and observed discs arise both on global and on local scales. Globally, the simulated discs inhabit halos that are a factor 4 (in EAGLE) and 2 (in IllustrisTNG) more massive than those derived from the rotation curve analysis of the observed dataset. We also use synthetic rotation curves of the simulated discs to demonstrate that the recovery of the halo masses from rotation curves are not systematically biased. We find that the simulations predict dark-matter dominated systems with stellar-to-total enclosed mass ratios that are a factor of 1.5-2 smaller than real galaxies at all radii. This is an alternative manifestation of the `failed feedback problem', since it indicates that simulated halos hosting massive discs have been too inefficient at converting their baryons into stars, possibly due to an overly efficient stellar and/or AGN feedback implementation.

Title:
Massive galaxies in CANDELS-UDS field
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have used high-resolution, Hubble Space Telescope, near-infrared imaging to conduct a detailed analysis of the morphological properties of the most massive galaxies at high redshift, modelling the WFC3/IR H_160_-band images of the =~200 galaxies in the CANDELS-UDS field with photometric redshifts 1<z<3, and stellar masses M_*_>10^11^M_{sun}_. We have explored the results of fitting single-Sersic and bulge+disc models, and have investigated the additional errors and potential biases introduced by uncertainties in the background and the on-image point spread function.
480. MASSIVE Survey. VII.
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/471/1428
Title:
MASSIVE Survey. VII.
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/471/1428
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We analyse the environmental properties of 370 local early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the MASSIVE and ATLAS^3D^ surveys, two complementary volume-limited integral-field spectroscopic (IFS) galaxy surveys spanning absolute K-band magnitude - 21.5>=M_K_>=-26.6, or stellar mass 8*10^9^<~M*<~2*10^12^M{sun}. We find these galaxies to reside in a diverse range of environments measured by four methods: group membership (whether a galaxy is a brightest group/cluster galaxy, satellite or isolated), halo mass, large-scale mass density (measured over a few Mpc) and local mass density (measured within the Nth neighbour). The spatially resolved IFS stellar kinematics provide robust measurements of the spin parameter {lambda}_e_ and enable us to examine the relationship among {lambda}_e_, M* and galaxy environment. We find a strong correlation between {lambda}_e_ and M*, where the average {lambda}_e_ decreases from ~0.4 to below 0.1 with increasing mass, and the fraction of slow rotators f_slow_ increase from ~10 to 90 per cent. We show for the first time that at fixed M*, there are almost no trends between galaxy spin and environment; the apparent kinematic morphology-density relation for ETGs is therefore primarily driven by M* and is accounted for by the joint correlations between M* and spin, and between M* and environment. A possible exception is that the increased f_slow_ at high local density is slightly more than expected based only on these joint correlations. Our results suggest that the physical processes responsible for building up the present-day stellar masses of massive galaxies are also very efficient at reducing their spin, in any environment.
