- Description:
- We report the study of the far-infrared (IR) sizes of submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) in relation to their dust-obscured star formation rate (SFR) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) presence, determined using mid-IR photometry. We determined the millimeter-wave ({lambda}_obs_=1100um) sizes of 69 Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)-identified SMGs, selected with >=10{sigma} confidence on ALMA images (F_1100um_=1.7-7.4mJy). We found that all of the SMGs are located above an avoidance region in the size-flux plane, as expected by the Eddington limit for star formation. In order to understand what drives the different millimeter-wave sizes in SMGs, we investigated the relation between millimeter-wave size and AGN fraction for 25 of our SMGs at z=1-3. We found that the SMGs for which the mid-IR emission is dominated by star formation or AGN have extended millimeter-sizes, with respective median R_c,e_=1.6_-0.21_^+0.34^ and 1.5_-0.24_^+0.93^kpc. Instead, the SMGs for which the mid-IR emission corresponds to star-forming/AGN composites have more compact millimeter-wave sizes, with median R_c,e_=1.0_-0.20_^+0.20^kpc. The relation between millimeter-wave size and AGN fraction suggests that this size may be related to the evolutionary stage of the SMG. The very compact sizes for composite star-forming/AGN systems could be explained by supermassive black holes growing rapidly during the SMG coalescing, star-formation phase.

- Description:
- Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) multiband photometric data in the field of open cluster M48 are used to determine its membership. By comparing observed spectral energy distributions of M48 stars with theoretical ones, membership probabilities of 750 stars with limiting magnitudes of 15.0 in the BATC c band ({lambda}_eff_=4194{AA}) are determined. We find 323 stars with membership probabilities higher than 30% that are considered to be candidate members of M48. Comparing membership probabilities of 229 stars obtained in common between the present method and proper-motion-based methods, an 80% agreement among these methods is obtained

- Description:
- We systematically study the relations between the H{alpha} luminosity and the near-IR luminosity and temperature of a set of selected HII regions in the disc of M100. By using the technique of cross-reference between the optical H{alpha} image (the catalogue of HII regions in M100 and the Spitzer IRAC images, we locate the selected HII regions in the IRAC image frames. By using the chi-squared non-linear fitting technique, we estimate the IRAC-3-band colour temperature T_col(IRAC)_ of selected HII regions, and calculate their near-IR luminosities.

- Description:
- Stellar evolution is modified if energy is lost in a "dark channel" similar to neutrino emission. Comparing modified stellar evolution sequences with observations provides some of the most restrictive limits on axions and other hypothetical low-mass particles and on non-standard neutrino properties. In particular, a putative neutrino magnetic dipole moment {mu}_{nu}_ enhances the plasmon decay process, postpones helium ignition in low-mass stars, and therefore extends the red-giant branch (RGB) in globular clusters (GCs). The brightness of the tip of the RGB (TRGB) remains the most sensitive probe for {mu}_{nu}_ and we revisit this argument from a modern perspective. Based on a large set of archival observations, we provide high-precision photometry for the Galactic GC M5 (NGC 5904) and carefully determine its TRGB position.

- Description:
- Future dark energy space missions such as JDEM and EUCLID are being designed to survey the galaxy population to trace the geometry of the universe and the growth of structure, which both depend on the cosmological model. To reach the goal of high precision cosmology they need to evaluate the capabilities of different instrument designs based on realistic mock catalog. The aim of this paper is to construct realistic and flexible mock catalogs based on our knowledge of galaxy population from current deep surveys. We explore two categories of mock catalog : (i) based on luminosity functions fit of observations (GOODS, UDF, COSMOS, VVDS) using the Le Phare software (ii) based on the observed COSMOS galaxy distribution which benefits from all the properties of the data-rich COSMOS survey. For these two catalogs, we have produced simulated number counts in several bands, color diagrams and redshift distribution for validation against real observational data. We also derive some basic requirements to help designing future Dark Energy mission in terms of number of galaxies available for the weak-lensing analysis as a function of the PSF size and depth of the survey. We also compute the spectroscopic success rate for future spectroscopic redshift surveys (i) aiming at measuring BAO in the case of the wide field spectroscopic redshift survey, and (ii) for the photometric redshift calibration survey which is required to achieve weak lensing tomography with great accuracy. They will be publicly accessible at http://lamwws.oamp.fr/cosmowiki/RealisticSpectroPhotCat, or by request to the first author of this paper.

- Model SDSS colors for halo stars
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/568/A7
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We analyze a sample of tens of thousands of spectra of halo turnoff stars, obtained with the optical spectrographs of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), to characterize the stellar halo population "in situ" out to a distance of a few tens of kpc from the Sun. In this paper we describe the derivation of atmospheric parameters. We also derive the overall stellar metallicity distribution based on F-type stars observed as flux calibrators for the Baryonic Oscillations Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). Our analysis is based on an automated method that determines the set of parameters of a model atmosphere that best reproduces each observed spectrum. We use an optimization algorithm and evaluate model fluxes by means of interpolation in a pre-computed grid. In our analysis, we account for the spectrograph's varying resolution as a function of fiber and wavelength. Our results for early SDSS (pre-BOSS upgrade) data compare well with those from the SEGUE Stellar Parameter Pipeline (SSPP), except for stars at logg (cgs units) lower than 2.5. An analysis of stars in the globular cluster M13 reveals a dependence of the inferred metallicity on surface gravity for stars with logg<2.5, confirming the systematics identified in the comparison with the SSPP. We find that our metallicity estimates are significantly more precise than the SSPP results. We also find excellent agreement with several independent analyses. We show that the SDSS color criteria for selecting F-type halo turnoff stars as flux calibrators efficiently excludes stars with high metallicities, but does not significantly distort the shape of the metallicity distribution at low metallicity. We obtain a halo metallicity distribution that is narrower and more asymmetric than in previous studies. The lowest gravity stars in our sample, at tens of kpc from the Sun, indicate a shift of the metallicity distribution to lower abundances, consistent with that expected from a dual halo system in the Milky Way.

- Description:
- We report on optical imaging of the X-ray binary SAX J1808.4-3658 with the 8m Gemini South Telescope. The binary, containing an accretion-powered millisecond pulsar, appears to have a large periodic modulation in its quiescent optical emission. In order to clarify the origin of this modulation, we obtained three time-resolved r'-band light curves (LCs) of the source over five days. The LCs can be described by a sinusoid, and the long time-span between them allows us to determine optical period P=7251.9s and phase 0.671 at MJD 54599.0 (TDB; phase 0.0 corresponds to the ascending node of the pulsar orbit), with uncertainties of 2.8s and 0.008 (90% confidence), respectively. This periodicity is highly consistent with the X-ray orbital ephemeris.

- Description:
- We present deep J-, H-, and Ks-band imaging data of the MOIRCS Deep Survey (MODS), which was carried out with the Multi-Object Infrared Camera and Spectrograph (MOIRCS) mounted on the Subaru Telescope in the GOODS-North region. The data reach 5{sigma} total limiting magnitudes for point sources of J=23.9, H=22.8, and Ks=22.8 (Vega magnitude) over 103 arcmin^2^ (wide field). In 28 arcmin^2^ of the survey area, which is an ultra-deep field of the MODS (deep field), the data reach 5{sigma} depths of J=24.8, H=23.4, and Ks=23.8. The spatial resolutions of the combined images are FWHM~0.6" and ~0.5" for the wide and deep fields in all bands, respectively. Combining the MODS data with the multi-wavelength public data taken with the HST, Spitzer, and other ground-based telescopes in the GOODS field, we constructed a multi-wavelength photometric catalog of Ks-selected sources.

- Description:
- We present a catalogue of prestellar and starless cores within the Corona Australis molecular cloud using photometric data from the Herschel Space Observatory. At a distance of d~130pc, Corona Australis is one of the closest star-forming regions. Herschel has taken multi-wavelength data of Corona Australis with both the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE; Griffin et al. 2010A&A...518L...3G) and the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS; Poglitsch et al. 2010A&A...518L...2P) photometric cameras in a parallel mode with wavelengths in the range 70um to 500um. A complete sample of starless and prestellar cores and embedded protostars is identified. Other results from the Herschel Gould Belt Survey have shown spatial correlation between the distribution of dense cores and the filamentary structure within the molecular clouds. We go further and show correlations between the properties of these cores and their spatial distribution within the clouds, with a particular focus on the mass distribution of the dense cores with respect to their filamentary proximity. We find that only lower-mass starless cores form away from filaments, while all of the higher-mass prestellar cores form in close proximity to or directly on the filamentary structure. This result supports the paradigm that prestellar cores mostly form on filaments. We analyse the mass distribution across the molecular cloud, finding evidence that the region around the Coronet appears to be at a more dynamically advanced evolutionary stage in comparison to the rest of the clumps within the cloud.

- Molecular clouds with GLIMPSE/MIPSGAL data
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We study the star-formation (SF) law in 12 Galactic molecular clouds with ongoing high-mass star-formation (HMSF) activity, as traced by the presence of a bright IRAS source and other HMSF tracers. We define the molecular cloud (MC) associated with each IRAS source using ^13^CO line emission, and count the young stellar objects (YSOs) within these clouds using GLIMPSE and MIPSGAL 24{mu}m Spitzer databases. The masses for high-luminosity YSOs (L_bol_>10L_{sun}_) are determined individually using pre-main-sequence evolutionary tracks and the evolutionary stages of the sources, whereas a mean mass of 0.5M_{sun}_ was adopted to determine the masses in the low-luminosity YSO population. The star-formation rate surface density ({Sigma}SFR) corresponding to a gas surface density ({Sigma}gas) in each MC is obtained by counting the number of the YSOs within successive contours of ^13^CO line emission. We find a break in the relation between {Sigma}SFR and {Sigma}gas, with the relation being a power law ({Sigma}SFR{propto}{Sigma}gas^N^) with the index N varying between 1.4 and 3.6 above the break. The {Sigma}gas at the break is between 150-360M_{sun}_/pc^2^ for the sample clouds, which compares well with the threshold gas density found in recent studies of Galactic star-forming regions. Our clouds treated as a whole lie between the Kennicutt relation and the linear relation for Galactic and extra-galactic dense star-forming regions. We find a tendency for the high- mass YSOs to be found preferentially in dense regions at densities higher than 1200M_{sun}_/pc^2^ (~0.25g/cm^2^).
