- Description:
- We present the results of a search for faint HI 21cm emission line wings at velocities forbidden by Galactic rotation in the Galactic plane using the Leiden/Dwingeloo HI Survey data and the HI Southern Galactic Plane Survey data. These "forbidden-velocity wings" (FVWs) appear as protruding excessive emission in comparison with their surroundings in limited (>~2{deg}) spatial regions over velocity extents of more than ~20km/s in large-scale (l,v) diagrams. Their high velocities imply that there should be some dynamical phenomena associated. We have identified 87 FVWs. We present their catalog and discuss their distribution and statistical properties. We found that 85% of FVWs are not coincident with known supernova remnants (SNRs), galaxies, or high-velocity clouds. Their natures are currently unknown.

- Description:
- We have taken advantage of the improved baselines and higher sensitivity available with the upgraded Arecibo 305m telescope to create a new HI spectral line catalog of disk galaxies that can be used as a reference catalog for anyone interested in 21cm spectral line work. In all, 108 galaxies were observed, covering 24hr of the sky at declinations between 0{deg} and 36{deg} and velocities between 0 and 25,000km/s. The majority of the galaxies were observed at least two times on different nights to avoid problems with radio frequency interference, baseline fluctuations, etc. Comparing our measured values with all those available in the literature shows that although large individual variations may exist, the average difference between the measurements is zero. In all we have considerable confidence in our measurements, and the resulting catalog should be extremely useful as a well-defined reference catalog for anyone interested in 21cm spectral line work.

- Description:
- Stars form in dense, dusty structures, which are embedded in larger clumps of molecular clouds often showing a clear filamentary structure on large scales (>1pc). The origin (e.g., turbulence or gravitational instabilities) and evolution of these filaments, as well as their relation to clump and core formation, are not yet fully understood. A large sample of both starless and protostellar clumps can now be found in the Herschel Hi-GAL (Herschel Infrared GALactic Plane Survey) key project, which also provides striking images of the filamentary structure of the parent molecular clouds. Recent results indicate that populations of clumps on and off filaments may differ. One of the best studied regions in the Hi-GAL survey can be observed toward the l=224{deg} field. Here, a filamentary region has been studied and it has been found that protostellar clumps are mostly located along the main filament, whereas starless clumps are detected off this filament and are instead found on secondary, less prominent filaments. We want to investigate this segregation effect and how it may affect the clumps properties. We mapped the ^12^CO(1-0) line and its main three isotopologues toward the two most prominent filaments observed toward the l=224{deg} field using the Mopra radio telescope, in order to set observational constraints on the dynamics of these structures and the associated starless and protostellar clumps. Compared to the starless clumps, the protostellar clumps are more luminous, more turbulent and lie in regions where the filamentary ambient gas shows larger linewidths. We see evidence of gas flowing along the main filament, but we do not find any signs of accretion flow from the filament onto the Hi-GAL clumps. We analyze the radial column density profile of the filaments and their gravitational stability. The more massive and highly fragmented main filament appears to be thermally supercritical and gravitationally bound, assuming that all of the non-thermal motion is contributing thermal-like support, suggesting a later stage of evolution compared to the secondary filament. The status and evolutionary phase of the Hi-GAL clumps would then appear to correlate with that of the host filament.

- Description:
- We present the first Herschel PACS and SPIRE photometric observations in a portion of the outer Galaxy (216.5{deg}<~l<~225.5{deg} and -2{deg}<~b<~0{deg}) as a part of the Hi-GAL survey. The maps between 70 and 500{mu}m, the derived column density and temperature maps, and the compact source catalog are presented. NANTEN CO(1-0) line observations are used to derive cloud kinematics and distances so that we can estimate distance-dependent physical parameters of the compact sources (cores and clumps) having a reliable spectral energy distribution that we separate into 255 proto-stellar and 688 starless sources. Both typologies are found in association with all the distance components observed in the field, up to ~5.8kpc, testifying to the presence of star formation beyond the Perseus arm at these longitudes. Selecting the starless gravitationally bound sources, we identify 590 pre-stellar candidates. Several sources of both proto- and pre-stellar nature are found to exceed the minimum requirement for being compatible with massive star formation based on the mass-radius relation. For the pre-stellar sources belonging to the Local arm (d<~1.5kpc) we study the mass function whose high-mass end shows a power law N(logM){propto}M^-1.0+/-0.2^. Finally, we use a luminosity versus mass diagram to infer the evolutionary status of the sources, finding that most of the proto-stellar sources are in the early accretion phase (with some cases compatible with a Class I stage), while for pre-stellar sources, in general, accretion has not yet started.

- Description:
- We present a multifrequency, dense radio monitoring program of the blazar OJ287 using the 100-m Effelsberg radio telescope. The program aims to test different binary supermassive black hole (SMBH) scenarios and studying the physical conditions in the central region of this bright blazar. Between December 2015 and January 2017 (MJD 57370-57785), the radio electric vector position angle (EVPA) showed a large clockwise (CW) rotation by about 340{deg} with a mean rate of -1.04{deg}/day. Based on concurrent polarized Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) data, the rotation seems to originate within the jet core at 43GHz. Optical polarization data show a similar monotonic CW EVPA rotation of about -1.1{deg}/day, superposed by shorter and faster rotations of about 7.8{deg}/day, mainly in the CW sense. When combined, the single dish, VLBI and optical polarization data are consistent with a polarized emission component propagating on a helical trajectory within a bent jet. We constrained the helix arc length (0.26pc) and radius (about 0.04pc) and the projected jet bending arc length (about 1.9-7.6pc). The helical trajectory covers only a part of the jet width, possibly its spine. In addition, we found a stable polarized component with EVPA (-10{deg}) perpendicular to the large scale jet, suggesting dominance of the poloidal magnetic field component.

- Description:
- The multi-frequency sedentary survey is a flux-limited, statistically well-defined sample of highly X-ray dominated (i.e., with a very high X-ray to radio flux ratio) BL Lacertae objects, which includes 150 sources. In this paper, the third of the series, we report the results of a dedicated optical spectroscopy campaign that, together with results from other independent optical follow-up programs, led to the spectroscopic identification of all sources in the sample. We carried out a systematic spectroscopic campaign for the observation of all unidentified objects of the sample using the ESO 3.6m, the KPNO 4m, and the TNG optical telescopes.

- Description:
- 3C 273, the nearest bright quasar, comprises a strong nuclear core and a bright, one-sided jet extending ~23 arcseconds to the SW. The source has been the subject of imaging campaigns in all wavebands. Extensive observations of this source have been made with the Very Large Array and other telescopes as part of a campaign to understand the jet emission mechanisms. Partial results from the VLA radio campaign have been published, but to date, the complete set of VLA imaging results has not been made available. We have utilized the VLA to determine the radio structure of 3C273 in Stokes I, Q, and U, over the widest possible frequency and resolution range. The VLA observed the source in all four of its configurations, and with all eight of its frequency bands, spanning 73.8MHz to 43GHz. The data were taken in a pseudo-spectral line mode to minimize the VLA's correlator errors, and were fully calibrated with subsequent self-calibration techniques to maximise image fidelity. Images in Stokes parameters I, Q, and U, spanning a resolution range from 6 arcseconds to 88 milliarcseconds are presented. Spectral index images, showing the evolution of the jet component are shown. Polarimetry demonstrates the direction of the magnetic fields responsible for the emission, and rotation measure maps show the RM to be very small with no discernible trend along or across the jet. This paper presents a small subset of these images to demonstrate the major characteristics of the source emission. A library of all ~500 images has been made available for open, free access by interested parties.

- High frequency peakers. I. The bright sample

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Here we present a sample of sources with convex radio spectra peaking at frequencies above a few GHz. We call these radio sources High Frequency Peakers (HFPs). This sample extends to higher turnover frequencies than the samples of Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) and GHz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) radio sources. HFPs are rare due to the strong bias against them caused by their turnover occurring at frequencies about one order of magnitude higher than in CSS-GPS samples. he sample has been selected by a comparison between the Green Bank survey (87GB) at 4.9 GHz and the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) at 1.4 GHz. Then the candidates have been observed with the VLA at 1.365, 1.665, 4.535, 4.985, 8.085, 8.485, 14.96 and 22.46 GHz in order to derive a simultaneous radio spectrum, and remove variable sources from the sample. The final list of genuine HFP sources consists of 55 objects with flux density exceeding 300 mJy at 4.9 GHz at the time of the 87GB observation. Optical identifications are available for 29 of them; 24 are high redshift quasars, 3 are galaxies (one of them has indeed broad lines in the optical spectrum) and 2 are BL Lac objects. The remaining sources are mostly empty fields (17) on the digitised POSS or have uncertain classification (9).

- Description:
- We present a sample of sources with convex radio spectra peaking at frequencies above a few GHz, known as "High Frequency Peakers" (HFPs). A "bright" sample with a flux density limit of 300mJy at 5GHz has been presented by Dallacasa et al. (2000, Cat. J/A+A/363/887). Here we present the "faint" sample with flux density between 50 and 300mJy at 5GHz, restricted to the area around the North Galactic Cap, where the FIRST catalogue is available. The candidates have been observed with the VLA at several frequencies ranging from 1.4 to 22GHz, in order to derive a simultaneous radio spectrum. The final list of confirmed HFP sources consists of 61 objects.
