- Description:
- This catalog of 3356 faint stars was derived from meridian circle observations at the Bergedorf and Heidelberg Observatories. The positions are given for the equinox 1950 on the FK3 system. The stars are mainly between 8.0 and 10.0 visual magnitude. A few are brighter than 8.0 mag. The lower limit in brightness resulted from the visibility of the stars.

- Description:
- We present a catalog of 430 field horizontal branch (FHB) stars, selected from the Hamburg/ESO Survey (HES), which fortuitously align with high column density neutral hydrogen (HI) high-velocity cloud (HVC) gas. These stars are ideal candidates for absorption-line studies of HVCs, attempts at which have been made for almost 40 years with little success. A parent sample of 8321 HES FHB stars (Christlieb et al., 2005, Cat. <J/A+A/431/143>) was used to extract HI spectra along each line of sight, using the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (Putman et al., 2002, Cat. <J/AJ/123/873>). All lines of sight aligned with high-velocity HI emission with peak brightness temperatures greater than 120mK were examined. The HI spectra of these 430 probes were visually screened and cross-referenced with several HVC catalogs.

- Description:
- We present an extensive and up-to-date catalog of Galactic {beta} Cephei stars. This catalog is intended to give a comprehensive overview of observational characteristics of all known {beta} Cephei stars, covering information until 2004 June. Ninety-three stars could be confirmed to be {beta} Cephei stars. We use data from more than 250 papers published over the last nearly 100 years, and we provide over 45 notes on individual stars. For some stars we reanalyzed published data or conducted our own analyses. Sixty-one stars were rejected from the final {beta} Cephei list, and 77 stars are suspected to be {beta} Cephei stars. A list of critically selected pulsation frequencies for confirmed {beta} Cephei stars is also presented.

- Catalog of Galactic OB Stars
- Short Name:

- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- An all-sky catalog of Galactic OB stars has been created by extending the Case-Hamburg Galactic Plane Luminous Stars surveys to include 5,500 additional objects drawn from the literature. This work brings the total number of known or reasonably suspected OB stars to over 16,000. This catalog contains UBV photometry and MK spectral type classifications for these objects as well as radial velocities. This project originated in the summer of 1991 when the author began compiling a cross-reference catalog and tabulation of published UBVbeta photometry for stars listed in Stephenson and Sanduleak's Luminous Stars (LS) in the Southern Milky Way Catalog (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/III/43">CDS Cat. III/43</a>). This database was published in July 1993 (Reed 1993, ApJS, 87, 367) and was subsequently expanded to include compilations of published MK classifications (Reed & Beatty 1995, ApJS, 97, 189), 4-color photometry (Read 1996, A&AS, 117, 313), and radial velocities (Reed & Kuhna 1997, AJ, 113, 823) for these objects. In mid-1997 the project was again expanded to include UBVbeta photometry for stars listed in the Northern-hemisphere volumes of the "Case-Hamburg" (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/III/76">CDS Cat. III/76</a>) surveys (Reed 1998, ApJS, 115, 271); MK classifications for the Northern stars were similarly compiled and made electronically available to interested parties, though they were not formally published. Most of the LS objects are OB stars, but there are as well a number of A, F, and G supergiants and a few white dwarfs and Wolf Rayet stars. These surveys reached a limiting photographic magnitude of ~13.5, and were based on objective-prism surveys of dispersion 580 Angstrom/mm at H-gamma. OB stars is here taken to mean main-sequence stars down to temperature class B2 and more luminous ones down to temperature class B9. The original Case-Hamburg surveys (about 12,000 stars) also include some 2,000 evolved A-G stars, along with some white dwarfs, planetary nebulae, and Wolf-Rayet stars. It is worth noting that the definition of an OB star is not universal; for example, Vanbeveren et al. (1998, in "The Brightest Stars") define them as O-B2 V-IV, O-B3 III, O-B4 II, and all OBA Ib, Iab, Ia, and IaO stars. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2017 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/V/125">CDS Catalog V/125</a> files obcat.dat, obmk.dat, obubvbet.dat and radvel.dat.

- Description:
- We present new absorption-line analysis and new galaxy survey data obtained for the field around PKS 0405-123 at z_QSO_=0.57. Combining previously known OVI absorbers with new identifications in the higher S/N ultraviolet (UV) spectra obtained with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, we have established a sample of 7 OVI absorbers and 12 individual components at z=0.0918-0.495 along the sightline towards PKS 0405-123. We complement the available UV absorption spectra with galaxy survey data that reach 100 percent completeness at projected distances {rho}<200kpc of the quasar sightline for galaxies as faint as 0.1L* (0.2L*) out to redshifts of z~0.35 (z~0.5). The high level of completeness achieved at faint magnitudes by our survey reveals that OVI absorbers are closely associated with gas-rich environments containing at least one low-mass, emission-line galaxy. An intriguing exception is a strong OVI system at z~0.183 that does not have a galaxy found at {rho}<4Mpc, and our survey rules out the presence of any galaxies of L>0.04L* at {rho}<250kpc and any galaxies of L>0.3L* at {rho}<1Mpc. We further examine the galactic environments of OVI absorbers and those 'Ly{alpha}-only' absorbers with neutral hydrogen column density log N(HI)<13.6 and no detectable OVI absorption features. The Ly{alpha}-only absorbers serve as a control sample in seeking the discriminating galactic features that result in the observed Ovi absorbing gas at large galactic radii. We find a clear distinction in the radial profiles of mean galaxy surface brightness around different absorbers. Specifically, Ovi absorbers are found to reside in regions of higher mean surface brightness at {rho}<~500kpc ({Delta}{mu}_R_~+5magMpc^-2^ relative to the background at {rho}>500kpc), while only a mild increase in galaxy surface brightness is seen at small {rho} around Ly{alpha}-only absorbers ({Delta}{mu}_R_~+2magMpc^-2^). The additional insights gained from our deep galaxy survey demonstrate the need to probe the galaxy populations to low luminosities in order to better understand the nature of the absorbing systems.

- Description:
- This catalog, giving about 7000 galaxies behind the Milky Way between l = 210 degrees and 250 degrees, represents a systematic search for galaxies by means of 32 film copies of the UK Schmidt Southern Infrared Atlas on the Milky Way covering about 900 square degrees. In the search galaxies with apparent sizes greater than 0.1 mm on film (6.7 arcsec in size) were detected by visual inspection. The material and procedure of search are described as well as the detectability of galaxies in paper I and paper II appended before Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 of the catalog, respectively, which have been published in Publ. Astron. Soc. Japan, Vol. 42 (1990) and Vol. 43 (1991). The parameters of catalogued galaxies are also explained in paper I. Cross-identifications with other catalogs are shown in the last column. The search was performed by undergraduate students of a galactic astronomy program in Department of Astronomy, Kyoto University, in 1988 and 1989. Since the main researchers changed from the search in 1988 (Vol. 1) to that in 1989 (Vol. 2), a surface brightness level determining the extents of galaxy images somewhat differs between Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, yielding a difference of mean number densities of the detected galaxies between Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. The difference is examined in paper II. The detectability of galaxies, especially of smallest galaxies, increased in the overlap zones of adjacent fields of the Atlas; the effects are discussed in a paper (Yamada and Saito 1991, to appear in Publ. Astron. Soc. Japan, Vol. 43). In spite of such inhomogeneities in search for galaxies, the catalog is useful as a finding list of bright galaxies, peculiar galaxies, and nearby clusters of galaxies in the region behind the Milky Way. The machine-readable version of the catalog has been made through efforts of Mr. Shogo Nishida, Mr. Tadafumi Takata, and Professor Shiro Nishimura. This will be distributed upon request from Astronomical Data Analysis Center of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and other astronomical data centers.

- Description:
- We present a catalog of galaxies in and around the cluster A1367, together with the results of a spectroscopic study of eight faint galaxies projected onto the central part of the cluster. The observations were carried out with the Boller and Chivens spectrograph of the 2m telescope of the Guillermo Haro Observatory (Cananea, Mexico). Redshifts of eight galaxies were derived from both emission and absorption lines; the redshift for one of these, derived from Halpha, SII, OIII, and Hbeta emission lines, is z=0.015. The spectrum of this galaxy displays no absorption lines at z=0.026, testifying that it is located between the observer and A1367.

- Description:
- This is a catalog of galaxies observed in the X-ray band with the Einstein Observatory imaging instruments, the Imaging Proportional Counter (IPC) and the High Resolution Imager (HRI). The catalog comprises 716 observations of 493 galaxies, including those that were targets of pointed observations, and galaxies from the Revised Shapley-Ames (RSA) Catalog of Bright Galaxies and the Second Revised Catalog (RC2) Catalog of Bright Galaxies that were serendipitously included in Einstein fields, plus X-ray data on 4 other galaxies (LMC, SMC, M 31 = NGC 224, and M 32 = NGC 221) taken from the literature, for a total of 720 entries. A total of 450 of these galaxies were imaged well within the instrumental fields, resulting in 238 detections and 212 3-sigma upper limits. The other galaxies were either at the edge of the visible field of view or were confused with other X-ray sources. This database was created by the HEASARC in January 2002 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/80/531">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/80/531</a>, tables gxatlas.dat and gxfluxes.dat.

- Short Name:

- Description:
- We present a public catalog of galaxy groups constructed from the spectroscopic sample of galaxies in the fourth data release from the Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe 2 (DEEP2) Galaxy Redshift Survey, including the Extended Groth Strip (EGS). The catalog contains 1165 groups with two or more members in the EGS over the redshift range 0<z<1.5 and 1295 groups at z>0.6 in the rest of DEEP2. 25% of EGS galaxies and 14% of high-z DEEP2 galaxies are assigned to galaxy groups. The groups were detected using the Voronoi-Delaunay method (VDM) after it has been optimized on mock DEEP2 catalogs following similar methods to those employed in Gerke et al (2005, J/ApJ/625/6). In the optimization effort, we have taken particular care to ensure that the mock catalogs resemble the data as closely as possible, and we have fine-tuned our methods separately on mocks constructed for the EGS and the rest of DEEP2. We have also probed the effect of the assumed cosmology on our inferred group-finding efficiency by performing our optimization on three different mock catalogs with different background cosmologies, finding large differences in the group-finding success we can achieve for these different mocks. Using the mock catalog whose background cosmology is most consistent with current data, we estimate that the DEEP2 group catalog is 72% complete and 61% pure (74% and 67% for the EGS) and that the group finder correctly classifies 70% of galaxies that truly belong to groups, with an additional 46% of interloper galaxies contaminating the catalog (66% and 43% for the EGS). We also confirm that the VDM catalog reconstructs the abundance of galaxy groups with velocity dispersions above ~300 km/s to an accuracy better than the sample variance, and this successful reconstruction is not strongly dependent on cosmology.
