- Description:
- The host galaxies of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been claimed to have experienced a recent inflow of gas from the intergalactic medium. This is because their atomic gas distribution is not centred on their optical emission and because they are deficient in molecular gas given their high star-formation rates. Similar studies have not been conducted for host galaxies of relativistic supernovae (SNe), which may have similar progenitors. The potential similarity of the powering mechanisms of relativistic SNe and GRBs allowed us to make a prediction that relativistic SNe are born in environments similar to those of GRBs, i.e. rich in atomic gas. Here we embark on testing this hypothesis by analysing the properties of the host galaxy NGC 3278 of the relativistic SN 2009bb. This is the first time the atomic gas properties of a relativistic SN host is analysed and the first time resolved 21cm hydrogen line (HI) information is provided for a host of a SN of any type. We obtained radio observations with Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) covering HI line; and optical integral field unit spectroscopy observations with Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). Moreover, we analysed archival carbon monoxide (CO) and broad-band data for this galaxy. The atomic gas distribution of NGC3278 is not centred on the optical galaxy centre, but instead around a third of atomic gas resides in the region close to the SN position. This galaxy has a few times lower atomic and molecular gas masses than predicted from its star formation rate (SFR). Its specific star formation rate (sSFR=SFR/M*) is ~2-3 times higher than the main-sequence value, placing it at the higher end of the main sequence towards starburst galaxies. SN 2009bb exploded close to the region with the highest SFR density and the lowest age, as evident from high Halpha EW, corresponding to the age of the stellar population of ~5.5Myr. Assuming this timescale was the lifetime of the progenitor star, its initial mass would have been close to ~36M_{sun}_. As for GRB hosts, the gas properties of NGC3278 are consistent with a recent inflow of gas from the intergalactic medium, which explains the concentration of atomic gas close to the SN position and the enhanced SFR. Super-solar metallicity at the position of the SN (unlike for most of GRBs) may mean that relativistic explosions signal a recent inflow of gas (and subsequent star-formation), and their type (GRBs or SNe) is determined by either i) the metallicity of the inflowing gas (metal-poor gas results in a GRB explosion and metal-rich gas in a relativistic SN explosion without an accompanying GRB), or ii) by the efficiency of gas mixing (efficient mixing for SN hosts leading to quick disappearance of metal-poor regions), or iii) by the type of the galaxy (more metal-rich galaxies would result in only a small fraction of star-formation to be fuelled by metal-poor gas).

- NIBLES bivariate luminosity function

- Description:
- We present a modified optical luminosity-HI mass bivariate luminosity function (BLF) based on HI line observations from the Nancay Interstellar Baryons Legacy Extragalactic Survey (NIBLES), including data from our new, four times more sensitive follow-up HI line observations obtained with the Arecibo radio telescope. The follow-up observations were designed to probe the underlying HI mass distribution of the NIBLES galaxies that were undetected or marginally detected in HI at the Radio Telescope. Our total follow-up sample consists of 234 galaxies, and it spans the entire luminosity and color range of the parent NIBLES sample of 2600 nearby (900<cz<12000km/s) SDSS galaxies. We incorporated the follow-up data into the bivariate analysis by scaling the NIBLES undetected fraction by an Arecibo-only distribution. We find the resulting increase in low HI mass-to-light ratio densities to be about 10% for the bins -1.0<=log(M/L)<=-0.5, which produces an increased HI mass function (HIMF) low mass slope of {alpha}=-1.14+/-0.07, being slightly shallower than the values of -1.35+/-0.05 obtained by recent blind HI surveys. Applying the same correction to the optically corrected bivariate luminosity function from our previous paper produces a larger density increase of about 0.5 to 1dex in the lowest HI mass-to-light ratio bins for a given luminosity while having a minimal effect on the resulting HIMF low mass slope, which still agrees with blind survey HIMFs. This indicates that while low HI-mass-to-light ratio galaxies do not contribute much to the one-dimensional HIMF, their inclusion has a significant impact on the densities in the two-dimensional distribution.

- Description:
- To investigate galaxy properties as a function of their total stellar mass, we obtained 21cm HI line observations at the 100-m class Nancay Radio Telescope of 2839 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in the Local Volume (900<cz<12000km/s), dubbed the Nancay Interstellar Baryons Legacy Extragalactic Survey (NIBLES) sample. They were selected evenly over their entire range of absolute SDSS z-band magnitudes (Mz~-13.5 to -24mag), which were used as a proxy for their stellar masses. In this paper, a first, global presentation of the observations and basic results is given; their further analysis will be presented in other papers in this series. The galaxies were originally selected based on their properties, as listed in SDSS DR5. Comparing this photometry to their total HI masses, we noted that, for a few percent, the SDSS magnitudes appeared severely misunderestimated, as confirmed by our re-measurements for selected objects. Although using the later DR9 results eliminated this problem in most cases, 384 still required manual photometric source selection. Usable HI spectra were obtained for 2600 of the galaxies, of which 1733 (67%) were clearly detected and 174 (7%) marginally. The spectra for 241 other observed galaxies could not be used for further analysis owing to problems with either the HI or the SDSS data. We reached the target number of about 150 sources per half-magnitude bin over the Mz range -16.5 to -23mag. Down to -21mag the overall detection rate is rather constant at the ~75% level but it starts to decline steadily towards the 30% level at -23mag. Making regression fits by comparing total HI and stellar masses for our sample, including our conservatively estimated HI upper limits for non-detections, we find the relationship log(MHI/M*)=-0.59log(M*)+5.05, which lies significantly below the relationship found in the MHI/M*-M* plane when only using HI detections.

- NLS1 at 37GHz

- Description:
- We have detected six narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies at 37GHz that were previously classified as radio silent and two that were classified as radio quiet. These detections reveal the presumption that NLS1 galaxies labelled radio quiet or radio silent and hosted by spiral galaxies are unable to launch jets to be incorrect. The detections are a plausible indicator of the presence of a powerful, most likely relativistic jet because this intensity of emission at 37GHz cannot be explained by, for example, radiation from supernova remnants. Additionally, one of the detected NLS1 galaxies is a newly discovered source of gamma rays and three others are candidates for future detections.

- Description:
- We present the Northern HIPASS (HI Parkes All-Sky Survey) Optical/Infrared Catalogue (NOIRCAT), an optical/near-infrared (NIR) counterpart to the Northern HIPASS Catalogue (NHICAT). Of the 1002 sources in NHICAT, 655 (66 per cent) have optical counterparts with matching optical velocities. A further 85 (8 per cent) sources have optical counterparts with matching velocities from previous radio emission-line surveys.

- Description:
- We present Nuker law fits of brightness profiles of a number of radio galaxies that were observed with the HST. The data on B2 radio galaxies were described in Capetti et al. (2000A&A...362..871C), while a number of 3C galaxies with FR II radio structure were taken from the HST archive. The profiles are compared with other samples of early type galaxies, taken from the literature. We find that radio galaxies always have "core"-type profiles, i.e. a shallow profile in the inner part of the galaxy, while radio-quiescent ellipticals may either have "core"-type or "power-law" type profiles.

- Description:
- The interactions between radio-loud AGN and their environments play an important role in galaxy and cluster evolution. Recent work has demonstrated fundamental differences between high- and low-excitation radio galaxies (HERGs and LERGs), and shown that they may have different relationships with their environments. In the Chandra Large Project ERA (Environments of Radio-loud AGN), we made the first systematic X-ray environmental study of the cluster environments of radio galaxies at a single epoch (z~0.5), and found tentative evidence for a correlation between radio luminosity and cluster X-ray luminosity. We also found that this relationship appeared to be driven by the LERG subpopulation. We have now repeated the analysis with a low-redshift sample (z~0.1), and found strong correlations between radio luminosity and environment richness and between radio luminosity and central density for the LERGs but not for the HERGs. These results are consistent with models in which the HERGs are fuelled from accretion discs maintained from local reservoirs of gas, while LERGs are fuelled more directly by gas ingested from the intracluster medium. Comparing the samples, we found that although the maximum environment richness of the HERG environments is similar in both samples, there are poorer HERG environments in the z~0.1 sample than in the z~0.5 sample. We have therefore tentative evidence of evolution of the HERG environments. We found no differences between the LERG subsamples for the two epochs, as would be expected if radio and cluster luminosities are related.
