571. Photometry of bulges at intermediate z
ID:

Title:
Photometry of bulges at intermediate z
Short Name:
J/A+A/488/1167
Date:

Publisher:

Description:
Analysis of bulges to redshifts of up to z=1 have provided ambiguous results as to whether bulges as a class are old structures akin to elliptical galaxies or younger products of the evolution of their host disks. We aim to define a sample of intermediate-z disk galaxies harbouring central bulges, and a complementary sample of disk galaxies without measurable bulges. We intend to provide colour profiles for both samples, as well as measurements of nuclear, disk, and global colours, which may be used to constrain the relative ages of bulges and disks. We select a diameter-limited sample of galaxies in images from the HST/WFPC2 (Wide-Field Planetary Camera 2 at the Hubble Space Telescope) Groth Strip survey, which is divided into two subsamples of higher and lower inclination to assess the role of dust in the measured quantities. Mergers are visually identified and excluded. We take special care to control the pollution by ellipticals. The bulge sample is defined with a criterion based on nuclear surface brightness excess over the inward extrapolation of the exponential law fitted to the outer regions of the galaxies. We extract colour profiles on the semi-minor axis least affected by dust in the disk, and measure nuclear colours at 0.85kpc from the centre over those profiles. Disk colours are measured on major axis profiles; global colours are obtained from 2.6" diameter apertures. Colour transformations and K-corrections are calculated using SEDs covering bands UBVIJK, from the GOYA photometric survey. We obtain a parent sample containing 248 galaxies with known redshifts, spectroscopic or photometric, spanning 0.1<z<1.2. The bulge subsample comprises 54 galaxies (21.8% of the total), while the subsample with no measureable bulges is 55.2% of the total (137 galaxies). The remainder (23%) is composed of mergers. We list nuclear, disk, and global colours (observed and rest-frame) and magnitudes (apparent and absolute), as well as galaxy colour gradients for the samples with and without bulges, and make them available in electronic format. We also provide images, colour maps, plots of spectral energy distributions, major-axis surface brightness profiles, and minor-axis colour profiles for both samples.

Description:
We present Johnson B CCD photometry for the whole sample of galaxies of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) Survey Lists I and II (Cat. <J/ApJS/95/387> and <J/ApJS/105/343>). They constitute a well-defined and complete sample of galaxies in the Local Universe with active star formation. The data refer to 191 S0 to Irr galaxies at an averaged redshift of 0.027, and complement the already published Gunn r, J and K photometries. (B-r) colours are also computed.

Title:
Photometry of UCM galaxies. II.
Short Name:

Description:
We present Johnson B surface photometry for the UCM Survey galaxies. One-dimensional bulge-disk decomposition is attempted, discussing on fitting functions and computational procedures. The results from this decomposition, jointly with concentration indices and an asymmetry coefficient, are employed to study the morphological properties of these galaxies. We also compare our results with the previous morphological classification established using Gunn r imaging data and with other samples of galaxies. No major statistical differences in morphology are found between red and blue data, although some characteristics such as size and luminosity concentration vary. We find a correlation between luminosity and size. Several parameters are used to segregate the objects according to their morphological type.
574. Physical data of the FK stars

Title:
Physical data of the FK stars
Short Name:
J/other/PBeiO/16
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The precise positions and proper motions (J2000.0) of 1535 Basic FK5 (FK4) stars in FK5 system (Cat. <I/149>) have been used in the reduction of local vertical monitoring and catalog observations at the Beijing Astronomical Observatory. The same data of 1987 FK4Sup stars, in which 980 stars denoted with "F" will be included in FK5, are also available recently from Heidelberg by courtesy of Prof Tong Fu, the Director of the Purple Mountain Observatory. The positions and proper motions of the other 1007 FK4Sup stars in FK5 system have been given by the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut in Heidelberg with comparatively low accuracy. However, the physical data, such as the visual magnitudes and the spectral types of these stars with rather larger uncertainties are originated from the Henry Draper Catalogue since the compilation of FK4 and FK4Sup (Cat. <I/143>). The more accurate visual magnitudes are available in the well-defined photoelectric system and the spectral types in MK-system that may be found, for example, in the Bright Star Catalogue (Cat. <V/50>) and a Supplement to this catalogue (Cat. <V/36>).
575. Physical parameters of compact SFGs in COSMOS field

Title:
Physical parameters of compact SFGs in COSMOS field
Short Name:
J/ApJ/807/139
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a study on the physical properties of compact star-forming galaxies (cSFGs) with M_*_>=10^10^ M_{sun}_ and 2<=z<= 3 in the COSMOS (Cosmic Evolution Survey) and GOODS-S (Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey South) fields. We find that massive cSFGs have a comoving number density of (1.0+/-0.1)x10^-4^ Mpc^-3^. The cSFGs are distributed at nearly the same locus on the main sequence as extended star-forming galaxies (eSFGs) and dominate the high-mass end. On the rest-frame U-V versus V-J and U-B versus M_B_ diagrams, cSFGs are mainly distributed at the middle of eSFGs and compact quiescent galaxies (cQGs) in all colors, but are more inclined to "red sequence" than "green valley" galaxies. We also find that cSFGs have distributions similar to cQGs on the nonparametric morphology diagrams. The cQGs and cSFGs have larger Gini and smaller M_20_, while eSFGs have the reverse. About one-third of cSFGs show signatures of postmergers, and almost none of them can be recognized as disks. Moreover, those visually extended cSFGs all have lower Gini coefficients (Gini<0.4), indicating that the Gini coefficient could be used to clean out noncompact galaxies in a sample of candidate cSFGs. The X-ray-detected counterparts are more frequent among cSFGs than in eSFGs and cQGs, implying that cSFGs have previously experienced violent gas-rich interactions (such as major mergers or disk instabilities), which could trigger both star formation and black hole growth in an active phase.
576. Physical properties of Spitzer/IRS galaxies
ID:

Title:
Physical properties of Spitzer/IRS galaxies
Short Name:
J/A+A/597/A51
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We provide the basic integrated physical properties of all the galaxies contained in the full Cornell Atlas of Spitzer/IRS Sources (CASSIS) with available broad-band photometry from UV to 22 microns. We have collected broad-band photometric measurements in 14 wavelengths from available public surveys in order to study the spectral energy distribution (SED) of each galaxy in CASSIS, thus constructing a final sample of 1146 galaxies in the redshift range 0<z<2.5. The SEDs are modelled with the CIGALE code which relies on the energy balance between the absorbed stellar and the dust emission while taking into account the possible contribution due to the presence of an active galactic nucleus (AGN). We split the galaxies in three groups, a low-redshift (z<0.1), a mid-redshift (0.1=<z<0.5) and a high-redshift (z>=0.5) sub-sample and find that the vast majority of the Spitzer/IRS galaxies are star-forming and lie on or above the star-forming main sequence of the corresponding redshift. Moreover, the emission of Spitzer/IRS galaxies with z<0.1 is mostly dominated by star-formation, galaxies in the mid-redshift bin are a mixture of star forming and AGN galaxies, while half of the galaxies with z>=0.5 show moderate or high AGN activity. Additionally, using rest-frame NUV-r colour, Sersic indices, optical [OIII] and [NII] emission lines we explore the nature of these galaxies by investigating further their structure as well as their star-formation and AGN activity. Using a colour magnitude diagram we confirm that 97% of the galaxies with redshift smaller than 0.5 have experienced a recent star-formation episode. For a sub-sample of galaxies with available structural information and redshift smaller than 0.3 we find that early-type galaxies are placed below the main sequence, while late-type galaxies are found on the main- sequence as expected. Finally, for all the galaxies with redshift smaller than 0.5 and available optical spectral line measurements we compare the ability of CIGALE to detect the presence of an AGN in contrast to the optical spectra classification. We find that galaxies with high AGN luminosity, as calculated by CIGALE, are most likely to be classified as composite or AGNs by optical spectral lines.
577. Planck high-z source candidates catalog (PHZ)
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/596/A100
Title:
Planck high-z source candidates catalog (PHZ)
Short Name:
J/A+A/596/A100
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Planck mission, thanks to its large frequency range and all-sky coverage, has a unique potential for systematically detecting the brightest, and rarest, submillimetre sources on the sky, including distant objects in the high-redshift Universe traced by their dust emission. A novel method, based on a component-separation procedure using a combination of Planck and IRAS data, has been validated and characterized on numerous simulations, and applied to select the most luminous cold submillimetre sources with spectral energy distributions peaking between 353 and 857GHz at 5' resolution. A total of 2151 Planck high-z source candidates (the PHZ) have been detected in the cleanest 26% of the sky, with flux density at 545GHz above 500mJy. Embedded in the cosmic infrared background close to the confusion limit, these high-z candidates exhibit colder colours than their surroundings, consistent with redshifts z>2, assuming a dust temperature of Txgal=35K and a spectral index of {beta}xgal=1.5. Exhibiting extremely high luminosities, larger than 10^14^L_{sun}_, the PHZ objects may be made of multiple galaxies or clumps at high redshift, as suggested by a first statistical analysis based on a comparison with number count models. Furthermore, first follow-up observations obtained from optical to submillimetre wavelengths, which can be found in companion papers, have confirmed that this list consists of two distinct populations. A small fraction (around 3%) of the sources have been identified as strongly gravitationally lensed star-forming galaxies at redshift 2 to 4, while the vast majority of the PHZ sources appear as overdensities of dusty star-forming galaxies, having colours consistent with being at z>2, and may be considered as proto-cluster candidates. The PHZ provides an original sample, which is complementary to the Planck Sunyaev-Zeldovich Catalogue (PSZ2); by extending the population of virialized massive galaxy clusters detected below z<1.5 through their SZ signal to a population of sources at z>1.5, the PHZ may contain the progenitors of today's clusters. Hence the Planck list of high-redshift source candidates opens a new window on the study of the early stages of structure formation, particularly understanding the intensively star-forming phase at high-z.
578. Planck Multi-frequency Cat. of Non-thermal Sources
ID:

Title:
Planck Multi-frequency Cat. of Non-thermal Sources
Short Name:
J/A+A/619/A94
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This paper presents the Planck Multi-frequency Catalogue of Non-thermal (i.e. synchrotron-dominated) Sources (PCNT) observed between 30 and 857GHz by the ESA Planck mission. This catalogue was constructed by selecting objects detected in the full mission all-sky temperature maps at 30 and 143GHz, with a signal-to-noise ratio S/N>3 in at least one of the two channels after filtering with a particular Mexican hat wavelet. As a result, 29400 source candidates were selected. Then, a multi-frequency analysis was performed using the Matrix Filters methodology at the position of these objects, and flux densities and errors were calculated for all of them in the nine Planck channels. This catalogue was built using a different methodology than the one adopted for the Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS) and the Second Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS2), although the initial detection was done with the same pipeline that was used to produce them. The present catalogue is the first unbiased, full-sky catalogue of synchrotron-dominated sources published at millimetre and submillimetre wavelengths and constitutes a powerful database for statistical studies of non-thermal extragalactic sources, whose emission is dominated by the central active galactic nucleus. Together with the full multi-frequency catalogue, we also define the Bright Planck Multi-frequency Catalogue of Non-thermal Sources (PCNTb), where only those objects with a S/N>4 at both 30 and 143GHz were selected. In this catalogue 1146 compact sources are detected outside the adopted Planck GAL070 mask; thus, these sources constitute a highly reliable sample of extragalactic radio sources. We also flag the high-significance subsample (PCNThs), a subset of 151 sources that are detected with S/N>4 in all nine Planck channels, 75 of which are found outside the Planck mask adopted here. The remaining 76 sources inside the Galactic mask are very likely Galactic objects
579. Planck submillimetre sources in Virgo Cluster
ID:

Title:
Planck submillimetre sources in Virgo Cluster
Short Name:
J/A+A/562/A106
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We cross-correlate the Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS) with the fully sampled 84deg^2^ Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS) fields. We search for and identify the 857 and 545GHz PCCS sources in the HeViCS fields by studying their FIR/submm and optical counterparts. We find 84 and 48 compact Planck sources in the HeViCS fields at 857 and 545GHz, respectively. Almost all sources correspond to individual bright Virgo Cluster galaxies. The vast majority of the Planck detected galaxies are late-type spirals, with the Sc class dominating the numbers, while early-type galaxies are virtually absent from the sample, especially at 545GHz. We compare the HeViCS SPIRE flux densities for the detected galaxies with the four different PCCS flux density estimators and find an excellent correlation with the aperture photometry flux densities, even at the highest flux density levels. We find only seven PCCS sources in the HeViCS fields without a nearby galaxy as obvious counterpart, and conclude that all of these are dominated by Galactic cirrus features or are spurious detections. No Planck sources in the HeViCS fields seem to be associated to high-redshift proto-clusters of dusty galaxies or strongly lensed submm sources. Finally, our study is the first empirical confirmation of the simulation-based estimated completeness of the PCCS, and provides a strong support of the internal PCCS validation procedure.
580. Polarization of Extragalactic Radio Sources
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/VII/6
Title:
Polarization of Extragalactic Radio Sources
Short Name:
VII/6
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The catalog contains 510 extragalactic radio sources, and covers all polarization measurements from 1965 to the middle of 1974 and a few other radio and optical data for these sources. The typical observation error was in the range of 1-2 percent in 1965 and 0.5-1 percent in 1974. The selection criterion for sources was that polarization data should be available at least at three wavelengths for each source. This reduced the sample to 510 sources. The catalog includes observational data: classifications, Cambridge numbers, coordinates, degrees of polarization at various wavelengths, polarization angles at each wavelength, largest angular diameters, position angles, and redshifts. The catalog also includes derived data: rotation measures, linear source diameters, polarization angles at wavelength 0 cm, differences between position angle and polarization angle at 0 cm, spectral indices between each pair of successive wavelengths observed, and polarization indices between each pair of successive wavelengths observed.
