531. Nearby poor clusters of galaxies catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/118/2014
Title:
Nearby poor clusters of galaxies catalog
Short Name:
J/AJ/118/2014
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
A catalog of 732 optically selected, nearby poor clusters of galaxies covering the entire sky north of -3{deg} declination is presented. The poor clusters, called WBL clusters, were identified as concentrations of three or more galaxies with photographic magnitudes brighter than 15.7, possessing a galaxy surface overdensity of 10^4/3^. These criteria are consistent with those used in the identification of the original Yerkes poor clusters, and this new catalog substantially increases the sample size of such objects. These poor clusters cover the entire range of galaxy associations up to and including Abell clusters, systematically including poor and rich galaxy systems spanning over 3 orders of magnitude in the cluster mass function. As a result, this new catalog contains a greater diversity of richness and structures than other group catalogs, such as the Hickson and Yerkes catalogs. The information on individual galaxies includes redshifts and cross-references to other galaxy catalogs. The entries for the clusters include redshift (where available) and cross-references to other group and cluster catalogs.
532. Near IR Imaging of Early-Type Galaxies

Title:
Near IR Imaging of Early-Type Galaxies
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
An imaging survey of 341 nearby early-type galaxies in the near-infrared K-band atmospheric window (2.2{micron}) is described. The galaxies primarily reside in 13 nearby rich clusters (85%), while some additional galaxies are drawn from loose groups (12%) and the general field (3%). Surface photometry was measured for the entire sample. Detailed corrections were derived from an extensive grid of seeing-convolved r^1/4^ models and then applied to the isophotal surface brightness, aperture magnitude, and ellipticity profiles. Global photometric parameters were derived from this seeing-corrected photometry. More than 25% of the sample has been observed at least twice, and these repeat measurements demonstrate the small internal uncertainties on the derived global photometric parameters. Extensive comparisons with aperture photometry from the literature demonstrate that the photometric system is fully consistent with other photometric systems to <=0.01mag and confirm the estimates of internal random uncertainties. Additional global parameters are drawn from the literature in a homogeneous manner in order to construct a large catalog of galaxy properties: 95% of the galaxies have a velocity dispersion, 69% have a Mg_2_ index, 80% have an optical r_eff_ and {mu}_eff_, 82% have a D_n_, and 81% have a derived optical - infrared color measurement. This large data set provides excellent source material for investigations of the physical origins of the global scaling relations of early-type galaxies, velocity fields in the local universe, and comparisons to higher redshift early-type galaxies.
533. NEWFIRM MBS: photometric catalogs

Title:
NEWFIRM MBS: photometric catalogs
Short Name:
J/ApJ/735/86

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present deep near-IR (NIR) medium-bandwidth photometry over the wavelength range 1-1.8um in the All-wavelength Extended Groth strip International Survey (AEGIS) and Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) fields. The observations were carried out using the NOAO Extremely Wide-Field Infrared Imager (NEWFIRM) on the Mayall 4m Telescope on Kitt Peak as part of the NEWFIRM Medium-Band Survey (NMBS), an NOAO survey program. In this paper, we describe the full details of the observations, data reduction, and photometry for the survey. We also present a public K-selected photometric catalog, along with accurate photometric redshifts. The redshifts are computed with 37 (20) filters in the COSMOS (AEGIS) fields, combining the NIR medium-bandwidth data with existing UV (Galaxy Evolution Explorer), visible and NIR (Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and Subaru Telescope), and mid-IR (Spitzer/IRAC) imaging. We find excellent agreement with publicly available spectroscopic redshifts, with {sigma}_z_/(1+z)~1%-2% for ~4000 galaxies at z=0-3. The NMBS catalogs contain ~13000 galaxies at z>1.5 with accurate photometric redshifts and rest-frame colors. Due to the increased spectral resolution obtained with the five NIR medium-band filters, the median 68% confidence intervals of the photometric redshifts of both quiescent and star-forming galaxies are a factor of about two times smaller when comparing catalogs with medium-band NIR photometry to NIR broadband photometry.

Title:
NEWS catalog
Short Name:
J/A+A/644/A69
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalogue of candidates in extragalactic objects -- the Northern Extragalactic WISExPan-STARRS (NEWS), which covers almost 3/4 of the sky in a broad optical-infrared spectral range, with a depth of up to 23mag in optical filter g. To create the NEWS catalogue, we used the mid-IR data of the WISE survey (W1,W2) paired up with photometric information of the Pan-STARRS DR1 survey in the optical and near-IR (g,r,i,z,y) spectral ranges. Our catalogue is the result of a classification of the WISExPan-STARRS objects with the SVM machine-learning algorithm. The classification was based solely on photometric information and the automatic creation of features that was carried out using an autoencoder neural network. NEWS catalogue contains 40,350,492 extragalactic objects (galaxies and quasars), identified with a high classification quality (>98%).

Our new catalog of the IR flux-limited (>2 Jy at 60 micron) complete sample of 1809 galaxies lists accurate radio positions, redshifts, and 1.4 GHz radio and IRAS flux densities and luminosities.
537. NGC 2000.0
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/VII/118
Title:
NGC 2000.0
Short Name:
VII/118
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
NGC 2000.0 is a modern compilation of the New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (NGC), the Index Catalogue (IC), and the Second Index Catalogue compiled by J. L. E. Dreyer (1888, 1895, 1908). The new compilation of these classical catalogs is intended to meet the needs of present-day observers by reporting positions at equinox B2000.0 and by incorporating the corrections reported by Dreyer himself and by a host of other astronomers who have worked with the data and compiled lists of errata. The object types given are those known to modern astronomy. The catalog lists object ID, object type, positions in equinox B2000.0, source of modern data (see NGC 2000 paperback copy), constellation, object size, magnitude, and the description of the object as given by Dreyer. The order of the new catalog is strictly by right ascension, the NGC and IC objects being merged into one machine-readable file.
538. NGC 3184, 4736, 5055 and 5194 LOFAR & WSRT maps
ID:

NGC 3184, 4736, 5055 and 5194 LOFAR & WSRT maps
Short Name:

Description:
Radio continuum (RC) emission in galaxies allows us to measure star formation rates (SFRs) unaffected by extinction due to dust, of which the low-frequency part is uncontaminated from thermal (free-free) emission. We calibrate the conversion from the spatially resolved 140MHz RC emission to the SFR surface density (SFR) at 1kpc scale. Radio spectral indices give us, by means of spectral ageing, a handle on the transport of cosmic rays using the electrons as a proxy for GeV nuclei. We used recent observations of three galaxies (NGC 3184, 4736, and 5055) from the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS), and archival LOw Frequency ARay (LOFAR) data of NGC 5194. Maps were created with the facet calibration technique and converted to radio {Sigma}SFR maps using the Condon relation. We compared these maps with hybrid {Sigma}SFR maps from a combination of GALEX far-ultraviolet and Spitzer 24um data using plots tracing the relation at the highest angular resolution allowed by our data at 1.2x1.2-kpc^2^ resolution.
539. Northern HI Parkes All Sky Survey Catalogue (HIPASS)
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/VIII/89
Title:
Northern HI Parkes All Sky Survey Catalogue (HIPASS)
Short Name:
VIII/89
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Northern HIPASS catalogue (NHICAT) is the northern extension of the HIPASS catalogue, HICAT. This extension adds the sky area between the declination (Dec.) range of +2{deg}<DE<+25{deg}30' to HICAT's Dec. range of -90{deg}<DE<+2{deg}. HIPASS is a blind HI survey using the Parkes Radio Telescope covering 71 per cent of the sky (including this northern extension) and a heliocentric velocity range of -1280 to 12700km/s. The entire Virgo Cluster region has been observed in the Northern HIPASS. The galaxy catalogue, NHICAT, contains 1002 sources with v_hel_>300km/s. Sources with -300<v_hel_<300km/s were excluded to avoid contamination by Galactic emission. In total, the entire HIPASS survey has found 5317 galaxies identified purely by their HI content. The full galaxy catalogue is publicly available at http://hipass.aus-vo.org.
540. Nuclear activity in isolated galaxies
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/434/336
Title:
Nuclear activity in isolated galaxies
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/434/336
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a spectroscopic study of the incidence of active galactic nucleus (AGN) nuclear activity in two samples of isolated galaxies. Our results show that the incidence of non-thermal nuclear activity is about 43 and 31 percent for galaxies with emission lines and 40 and 27 percent for the total sample, respectively. For the first time we have a large number of bona fide isolated galaxies (513 objects), with statistically significant number of all morphological types. A large fraction (~70%) of elliptical galaxies or early-type spirals have an AGN and ~70% of them are low-ionization nuclear emission-line regions. We find a larger fraction of AGN in early morphological types, as also found in the general population of galaxies. Only 3% of the AGN show the presence of broad lines (not a single one can be classified as type 1 AGN). This is an important result which is at odds with the unified model even if we consider warped or clumpy tori. Finally, we interpret the large fraction of AGN in isolated galaxies as the result of secular accretion.
