- Description:
- Compact groups provide an environment to study the growth of galaxies amid multiple prolonged interactions. With their dense galaxy concentrations and relatively low velocity dispersions, compact groups mimic the conditions of hierarchical galaxy assembly. Compact group galaxies are known to show a bimodality in Spitzer IRAC infrared color space: galaxies are preferentially either quiescent with low specific star formation rates (SSFRs) or prolifically forming stars-galaxies with moderate levels of specific star formation are rare. Previous Spitzer IRAC studies identifying this "canyon" have been limited by small number statistics. We utilize whole-sky Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) data to study 163 compact groups, thereby tripling our previous sample and including more galaxies with intermediate mid-IR colors indicative of moderate SSFRs. We define a distinct WISE mid-IR color space (log[f_12_/f_4.6_]) versus (log[f_22_/f_3.4_]) that we use to identify canyon galaxies from the larger sample. We confirm that compact group galaxies show a bimodal distribution in the mid-infrared and identify 37 canyon galaxies with reliable photometry and intermediate mid-IR colors. Morphologically, we find that the canyon harbors a large population of both Sa-Sbc and E/S0 type galaxies, and that they fall on the optical red sequence rather than the green valley. Finally, we provide a catalog of WISE photometry for 567 of 652 galaxies selected from the sample of 163 compact groups.

- Description:
- We analyze the internal optical colors of a complete sample of I_814_<24mag early-type and spiral galaxies from the northern and southern Hubble Deep Fields (HDF). The subset of galaxies in the HDF-North are also investigated in the near-infrared using NICMOS photometry. We compare the central (inner 5% radius) colors of those spirals with clearly visible bulges with the integrated colors of ellipticals in our sample.

- Description:
- Debris disks offer valuable insights into the latest stages of circumstellar disk evolution, and can possibly help us to trace the outcomes of planetary formation processes. In the age range 10 to 100Myr, most of the gas is expected to have been removed from the system, giant planets (if any) must have already been formed, and the formation of terrestrial planets may be on-going. Pluto-sized planetesimals, and their debris released in a collisional cascade, are under their mutual gravitational influence, which may result into non-axisymmetric structures in the debris disk. Here we present new VLT/SPHERE and ALMA observations of the debris disk around the 40Myr-old solar-type star HD61005. We resolve the disk at unprecedented resolution both in the near-infrared (in scattered and polarized light) and at millimeter wavelengths. We perform a detailed modeling of these observations, including the spectral energy distribution. Thanks to the new observations, we propose a solution for both the radial and azimuthal distribution of the dust grains in the debris disk. We find that the disk has a moderate eccentricity and that the dust density is two times larger at the pericenter compared to the apocenter. With no giant planets detected in our observations, we investigate alternative explanations besides planet-disk interactions to interpret the inferred disk morphology. We postulate that the morphology of the disk could be the consequence of a massive collision between 1000km-sized bodies at 61 au. If this interpretation holds, it would put stringent constraints on the formation of massive planetesimals at large distances from the star.

- Herschel FIR & submm photometry of KINGFISH sample
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/745/95
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- New far-infrared and submillimeter photometry from the Herschel Space Observatory is presented for 61 nearby galaxies from the Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-Infrared Survey with Herschel (KINGFISH) sample. The spatially integrated fluxes are largely consistent with expectations based on Spitzer far-infrared photometry and extrapolations to longer wavelengths using popular dust emission models. Dwarf irregular galaxies are notable exceptions, as already noted by other authors, as their 500{mu}m emission shows evidence for a submillimeter excess. In addition, the fraction of dust heating attributed to intense radiation fields associated with photodissociation regions is found to be (21+/-4)% larger when Herschel data are included in the analysis. Dust masses obtained from the dust emission models of Draine & Li (2007ApJ...657..810D) are found to be on average nearly a factor of two higher than those based on single-temperature modified blackbodies, as single blackbody curves do not capture the full range of dust temperatures inherent to any galaxy. The discrepancy is largest for galaxies exhibiting the coolest far-infrared colors.

- HI-bearing ultra-diffuse ALFALFA galaxies
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/842/133
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a sample of 115 very low optical surface brightness, highly extended, HI-rich galaxies carefully selected from the ALFALFA survey that have similar optical absolute magnitudes, surface brightnesses, and radii to recently discovered "ultra-diffuse" galaxies (UDGs). However, these systems are bluer and have more irregular morphologies than other UDGs, are isolated, and contain significant reservoirs of HI. We find that while these sources have normal star formation rates for HI-selected galaxies of similar stellar mass, they have very low star formation efficiencies. We further present deep optical and HI-synthesis follow-up imaging of three of these HI-bearing ultra-diffuse sources. We measure HI diameters extending to ~40kpc, but note that while all three sources have large HI diameters for their stellar mass, they are consistent with the HI mass-HI radius relation. We further analyze the HI velocity widths and rotation velocities for the unresolved and resolved sources, respectively, and find that the sources appear to inhabit halos of dwarf galaxies. We estimate spin parameters, and suggest that these sources may exist in high spin parameter halos, and as such may be potential HI-rich progenitors to the ultra-diffuse galaxies observed in cluster environments.

- Description:
- 392 spiral galaxies with type Sb or later have been detected in the 21-cm line of neutral hydrogen with the Nancay radiotelescope, and among them 172 HI fluxes are obtained for the first time. The source of any possible bias has been carefully analyzed and only the Malmquist bias appears to be significant. In order to obviate this observational effect, the range of radial velocities has been properly truncated for all statistical studies. A mean value of each global parameter has been determined for each morphological type and compared to previous results.

- Short Name:

- Description:
- We present HI-observations of 56 blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies of which 44 have been detected in the 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen with the 100-m radiotelescope at Effelsberg. Optical data (e.g., from NED) and HI data from other observers and telescopes are used to estimate the likelihood of confusion from other galaxies within the Effelsberg beam. The selected 29 BCD galaxies without any sign of confusion are used to infer several characteristic properties of the BCD galaxy population. In some respects, they resemble normal galaxies: e.g., the relations between global parameters like linear diameter A0 versus blue luminosity LB and the M_HI_/LB ratio vs. LB. At least five of these BCDGs emit milli-Jansky level radio continuum emission.

- Description:
- Neutral hydrogen observations with the 100-m Effelsberg radio telescope are presented for 268 spiral galaxies from the Revised Flat Galaxy Catalog (<VII/219>). Fluxes, radial velocities and line widths are given for 121 detected galaxies, as well as search parameters for 147 undetected objects. Most of the detected galaxies are late type (Sbc -- Sdm) spirals with a mean M_25_/L_B ratio of 2.5 in solar units. (M_25_ is the total mass within the 25mag/arcsec^2^ isophote) and a mean hydrogen mass fraction M_HI_/M_25_=0.13. Correlations between global parameters are discussed briefly. A comparison with a sample of nearby galaxies (within 10Mpc) demonstrates the validity of the same linear relation between the optical luminosity (L_B_) and the linear diameter (A_25_) down to the smallest galaxies.

- Description:
- In a previous work (Paper I, Kumar & Grave, 2007A&A...472..155K) a sample of 380 HMPO targets was studied using the GLIMPSE point source catalog and images. A colour-magnitude analysis of the point sources resulted in the identification of infrared counterparts (IRC) of the (sub)mm cores of HMPO candidates which were considered bona fide targets. We aim to estimate and analyse the physical properties of the infrared counterparts of HMPOs by comparing their spectral energy distributions (SED) with those predicted by radiative transfer accretion models of YSOs.
