- Description:
- We revisit the HI size-mass (D_HII_-M_HI_) relation of galaxies with a sample of more than 500 nearby galaxies covering over five orders of magnitude in HI mass and more than 10 B-band magnitudes. The relation is remarkably tight with a scatter {sigma}~0.06dex, or 14 per cent. The scatter does not change as a function of galaxy luminosity, HI richness or morphological type. The relation is linked to the fact that dwarf and spiral galaxies have a homogeneous radial profile of HI surface density in the outer regions when the radius is normalized by D_HI_. The early-type disc galaxies typically have shallower HI radial profiles, indicating a different gas accretion history. We argue that the process of atomic-to-molecular gas conversion or star formation cannot explain the tightness of the D_HI_-M_HI_ relation. This simple relation puts strong constraints on simulation models for galaxy formation.

- Description:
- The HI supershells catalogue was carried out making use of the Leiden-Argentine-Bonn (LAB) HI survey in the outer part of the Galaxy. The identification of the supershell candidates was made using a combination of two techniques: a visual inspection one plus an automatic searching algorithm. A total of 566 supershell candidates were identified. Most of them (347) are located in the second galactic quadrant, while 219 were found in the third one.

- Description:
- We use a sample of 65 redshifts to study the kinematics and dynamics of the cluster Abell 151. Data on individual galaxies are presented, and the accuracy of the determined velocities are discussed as well as some properties of the cluster. The velocity data reveal a foreground group and a background population at the same redshifts as the closely projected cluster A 166.

- Description:
- We present initial results from a Hubble Space Telescope snapshot imaging survey of the host galaxies of Swift-BAT active galactic nuclei (AGN) at z<0.1. The hard X-ray selection makes this sample relatively unbiased in terms of obscuration, compared to optical AGN selection methods. The high-resolution images of 154 target AGN enable us to investigate the detailed photometric structure of the host galaxies, such as the Hubble type and merging features. We find 48% and 44% of the sample to be hosted by early-type and late-type galaxies, respectively. The host galaxies of the remaining 8% of the sample are classified as peculiar galaxies because they are heavily disturbed. Only a minor fraction of host galaxies (18%-25%) exhibit merging features (e.g., tidal tails, shells, or major disturbance). The merging fraction increases strongly as a function of bolometric AGN luminosity, revealing that merging plays an important role in triggering luminous AGN in this sample. However, the merging fraction is weakly correlated with the Eddington ratio, suggesting that merging does not necessarily lead to an enhanced Eddington ratio. Type 1 and Type 2 AGN are almost indistinguishable in terms of their Hubble type distribution and merging fraction. However, the merging fraction of Type 2 AGN peaks at a lower bolometric luminosity compared with those of Type 1 AGN. This result may imply that the triggering mechanism and evolutionary stages of Type 1 and Type 2 AGN are not identical.

- Description:
- We selected 115 extremely red objects (EROs) from deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC2 archive data combined with ground-based K-band images, with (F814W-Ks)>=4, K-band signal-to-noise ratio >=5, and a median limiting Ks magnitude of ~18.7, over a corresponding area of 228 arcmin2, for a morphological study of the ERO galaxy population. The survey covered a total of ~409-arcmin^2^ over 77 separate WFPC2 fields. This is the first complete sample of bright EROs with high-resolution HST morphologies.

- Description:
- We present new results on the physical nature of infrared-luminous sources at 0.5<z<2.8 as revealed by HST/NICMOS imaging and Infrared Spectrograph mid-infrared spectroscopy. Our sample consists of 134 galaxies selected at 24um with a flux of S(24um)>0.9mJy. We find many (~60%) of our sources to possess an important bulge and/or central point source component, most of which reveal additional underlying structures after subtraction of a best-fit Sersic (or Sersic+PSF) profile. Based on visual inspection of the NIC2 images and their residuals, we estimate that ~80% of all our sources are mergers. We calculate lower and upper limits on the merger fraction to be 62% and 91%, respectively. At z<1.5, we observe objects in early (pre-coalescence) merging stages to be mostly disk and star formation dominated, while we find mergers to be mainly bulge dominated and active galactic nucleus (AGN)-starburst composites during coalescence and then AGN dominated in late stages. This is analogous to what is observed in local ULIRGs. Finally, we observe obscured ({tau}_9.7um_>3.36) quasars to live in faint and compact hosts and show that these are likely high-redshift analogs of local dense-core mergers. We find late-stage mergers to possess predominantly unobscured AGN spectra, but do not observe other morphological classes to carry any specific combination of {tau}_9.7um_ and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) equivalent width.

- Description:
- We study the photometric and structural properties of spectroscopically confirmed members in the two massive X-ray-selected z~0.83 galaxy clusters MS 105403 and RX J0152.7-1357 using three-band mosaic imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys. The samples include 105 and 140 members of RX J0152.7-1357 and MS 105403, respectively, to i_775_<24.0. A quantitative classification scheme using Sersic indices and "bumpiness" (the ratio of the rms residuals to the model mean) was found to correlate well with visual morphological type. The color-magnitude residuals correlate well with the local density, as measured from both galaxy numbers and weak lensing. Weaker correlations are found with cluster radius (the fundamental dependence is on local density).

- Description:
- Using Hubble Space Telescope observations of 147 host galaxies of low-mass black holes (BHs), we systematically study the structures and scaling relations of these active galaxies. Our sample is selected to have central BHs with virial masses of ~10^5^-10^6^M_{sun}_. The host galaxies have total I-band magnitudes of -23.2<M_I_<-18.8mag and bulge magnitudes of -22.9<M_I_<-16.1mag. Detailed bulge-disk-bar decompositions with GALFIT show that 93% of the galaxies have extended disks, 39% have bars, and 5% have no bulges at all at the limits of our observations. Based on the Sersic index and bulge-to-total ratio, we conclude that the majority of the galaxies with disks are likely to contain pseudobulges and very few of these low-mass BHs live in classical bulges. The fundamental plane of our sample is offset from classical bulges and ellipticals in a way that is consistent with the scaling relations of pseudobulges. The sample has smaller velocity dispersion at fixed luminosity in the Faber-Jackson plane compared with classical bulges and elliptical galaxies. The galaxies without disks are structurally more similar to spheroidals than to classical bulges according to their positions in the fundamental plane, especially the Faber-Jackson projection. Overall, we suggest that BHs with mass <~10^6^M_{sun}_ live in galaxies that have evolved secularly over the majority of their history. A classical bulge is not a prerequisite to host a BH.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the second part of an H-band (1.6um) "atlas" of z<0.3 3CR radio galaxies, using the Hubble Space Telescope Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (HST NICMOS2). We present new imaging for 21 recently acquired sources and host galaxy modeling for the full sample of 101 (including 11 archival) - an 87% completion rate. Two different modeling techniques are applied, following those adopted by the galaxy morphology and the quasar host galaxy communities. Results are compared and found to be in excellent agreement, although the former breaks down in the case of sources with strong active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Companion sources are tabulated, and the presence of mergers, tidal features, dust disks, and jets are cataloged. The tables form a catalog for those interested in the structural and morphological dust-free host galaxy properties of the 3CR sample, and for comparison with morphological studies of quiescent galaxies and quasar host galaxies.

- Description:
- Due to their relatively low stellar mass content and diffuse nature, the evolution of dwarf galaxies can be strongly affected by their environment. Analyzing the properties of the dwarf galaxies over a wide range of luminosities, sizes, morphological types, and environments, we can obtain insights about their evolution. At ~50Mpc, the Hydra I cluster of galaxies is among the closest cluster in the z=~0 Universe, and an ideal environment to study dwarf galaxy properties in a cluster environment. We exploit deep imaging data of the Hydra I cluster to construct a new photometric catalog of dwarf galaxies in the cluster core, which is then used to derive properties of the Hydra I cluster dwarf galaxy population as well as to compare it with other clusters. Moreover, we investigate the dependency of dwarf galaxy properties on their surrounding environment. The new wide-field g- and r-band images of the Hydra I cluster obtained with the OmegaCAM camera on the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) in the context of the VST Early-type GAlaxy Survey (VEGAS) were used to study the dwarf galaxy population in the Hydra I cluster core down to r-band magnitude Mr=-11.5mag. We used an automatic detection tool to identify dwarf galaxies from a ~1deg^2^ field centered on the Hydra I core, covering almost half of the cluster virial radius. The photometric pipeline was used to estimate the principal photometric parameters for all targets. Scaling relations and visual inspection were used to assess the cluster membership and construct a new dwarf galaxy catalog. Finally, based on the new catalog, we studied the structural (Sersic index n, effective radius Re, and axis ratio) and photometric (colors and surface brightness) properties of the dwarf galaxies, also investigating how they vary as a function of clustercentric distance. The new Hydra I dwarf catalog contains 317 galaxies with a luminosity between -18.5<Mr<-11.5mag, a semi-major axis larger than ~200pc (a=0.84"), of which 202 are new detections, and previously unknown dwarf galaxies in the Hydra I central region. We estimate that our detection efficiency reaches 50% at the limiting magnitude Mr=-11.5mag, and at the mean effective surface brightness <{mu}_e,r_=26.5mag/arcsec^2^. We present the standard scaling relations for dwarf galaxies, which are color-magnitude, size-luminosity, and Sersic n-magnitude relations, and compare them with other nearby clusters. We find that there are no observational differences for dwarfs scaling relations in clusters of different sizes. We study the spatial distribution of galaxies, finding evidence for the presence of substructures within half the virial radius. We also find that mid- and high-luminosity dwarfs (Mr<-14.5mag) become, on average, redder toward the cluster center, and that they have a mild increase in Re with increasing clustercentric distance, similar to what is observed for the Fornax cluster. No clear clustercentric trends are reported for surface brightness and Sersic index. Considering galaxies in the same magnitude bins, we find that for high and mid-luminosity dwarfs (Mr<-13.5mag), the g-r color is redder for the brighter surface brightness and higher Sersic n index objects. This finding is consistent with the effects of harassment and/or partial gas stripping.
