- Description:
- This table is an associated to the GRBs Catalog and lists the parameters that defines the box region derived from the intersection between the IPN annulus and a region from a different observatory. For a given GRB the localization can be provided by different observatories with different region types or by the same region type with different parameters. The different region types reported in literature are the following: circle, annulus, box, dual, annulus intersect, irregular, and intersect. This table contains the description only for the region type intersect, the other types are stored in separate tables. This localization region consists of a box derived from the intersection of the IPN annulus with the region determined by a different observatory. The table lists the corners of the final box intersection and the parameters that defined the IPN annulus (center, radius and half-width). The region of the other observatories that intersect with the IPN annulus is listed with the record for this GRB associated with the other observatory. The measurements are reported as found in literature and any differences or remarks are included in one of the table parameter (localization_notes). The literature references are provided in the GRBs Catalog main table which is linked to this region table. This table was ingested by the HEASARC in June 2008 based on electronic versions obtained from the author(s), who compiled the catalog in 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- This table is an associated to the GRBs Catalog and lists the parameters that define an 'irregular' region as the localization region. For a given GRB the localization can be provided by different observatories with different region types or by the same region type with different parameters. The different region types reported in literature are the following: circle, annulus, box, dual, annulus intersect, irregular, and intersect. This table contains the description only for the irregular region type, the other types are stored in separate tables. The 'irregual' region are from the Kippen et al. (1998). This localization region consist of a short thin arc segment derived from a COMPTEL localization combined with an IPN localization where the most likely position corresponds to the maximum obtained from the integral distribution. The COMPTEL localization consists of a circle error region centered at the most likely position within that region. The measurements are reported as found in literature and any differences or remarks are included in one of the table parameter (local_notes). The literature references are provided in the GRBs Catalog main table which is linked to this region table. This table was ingested by the HEASARC in June 2008 based on electronic versions obtained from the author(s), who compiled the catalog in 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Title:
- Catalog of 5 GHz Galactic Plane Sources
- Short Name:
- VIII/20
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This is a catalog of 915 sources in the galactic plane between l=190 - 360 - 40 for -2 < b < 2. The l, b pair of galactic coordinates is given in columns 1 and 2 and essentially constitutes the galactic source name. The 1950 equatorial coordinates for each source are given in columns 3 and 4, and values for the peak brightness temperature and flux density are given in columns 5 and 6. The reader should refer to Section 3 of the source reference for information relating to the determination of the flux densities. Column 7 gives an estimate of the source extension in minutes of arc. Extents are given for source in nonconfused regions only. Finally, in column 8 comments on each source are included where appropriate. Identifications with known supernova remnants are included from the compilation of Clark and Caswell (1976MNRAS.174..267C). Identifications with HII regions are based principally on H109alpha recombination-line emission data, which are mostly obtained from Wilson et al. (1970A&A.....6..364W) but with some unpublished Parkes observations included also.

- Catalog of giant radio sources known to date
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/238/9
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a catalog of 349 giant radio sources (GRSs including both galaxies and quasars). The database contains all giants known to date from the literature. These GRSs cover the redshift range of 0.016<z<3.22 and include radio sources of projected linear sizes larger than 0.7Mpc, which extend up to 4.7Mpc. We provide the principal parameters (i.e., exact position of the host in the sky, redshift, angular and projected linear size, red optical magnitude, radio morphology type, total radio flux density, and luminosity) for all the sources, as well as characteristics of the sample. Based on the distribution of GRSs in the sky, we identify regions where there is a paucity of giants, so that future surveys for this type of objects could concentrate primarily in these fields. From the analysis presented here, we estimate a lower limit for the expected number of GRSs as about 2000, for the resolution and sensitivity limits of FIRST, NRAO VLA Sky Survey and Sloan Digital Sky Survey surveys. Compared with earlier compilations, there is a significant increase in the number of large giants with sizes >2Mpc, as well as those at high redshifts with z>1. We discuss aspects of their evolution and suggest that these are consistent with evolutionary models.

- Catalog of gyro-kinematic ages for ~30000 Kepler stars
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/161/189

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Estimating stellar ages is important for advancing our understanding of stellar and exoplanet evolution and investigating the history of the Milky Way. However, ages for low-mass stars are hard to infer as they evolve slowly on the main sequence. In addition, empirical dating methods are difficult to calibrate for low-mass stars as they are faint. In this work, we calculate ages for Kepler F, G, and crucially K and M-dwarfs, using their rotation and kinematic properties. We apply the simple assumption that the velocity dispersion of stars increases over time and adopt an age-velocity-dispersion relation (AVR) to estimate average stellar ages for groupings of coeval stars. We calculate the vertical velocity dispersion of stars in bins of absolute magnitude, temperature, rotation period, and Rossby number and then convert velocity dispersion to kinematic age via an AVR. Using this method, we estimate gyro-kinematic ages for 29949 Kepler stars with measured rotation periods. We are able to estimate ages for clusters and asteroseismic stars with an rms of 1.22Gyr and 0.26Gyr respectively. With our Astraea machine-learning algorithm, which predicts rotation periods, we suggest a new selection criterion (a weight of 0.15) to increase the size of the McQuillan et al. catalog of Kepler rotation periods by up to 25%. Using predicted rotation periods, we estimated gyro-kinematic ages for stars without measured rotation periods and found promising results by comparing 12 detailed age-element abundance trends with literature values.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A catalogue of equivalent widths of H{gamma} measured by R.M. Petrie in the spectra of 1171 stars is presented. The catalogue represents a compilation of all the published and unpublished values available to us. It is shown that no systematic differences exist between the equivalent widths by Petrie and those currently being derived at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory.

- Catalog of high and low SB disk galaxies
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/412/633
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We have compiled and homogenized a sample of high and low SB disk galaxies with available photometry in the B and K bands, velocity line-widths and HI integral fluxes. Several parameters that trace the luminous, baryonic and dark matter contents were inferred. We investigated how these parameters do vary with different galaxy properties, and confronted the results with predictions of galaxy evolutionary models in the context of the {Lambda} Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) cosmogony. The fractions of dark, baryonic and luminous matter inside disk sizes (for observations and models) depend mainly on the disk surface density (or brightness). We have not found significant correlations of these fractions on galaxy scale or luminosity, contrary to what has been reported in previous works, based on the analysis of rotation curve shapes. We discuss this difference and state the importance to solve the controversy. The broad agreement between the models and observations presented here favors the LCDM scenario. However, the excess of dark matter inside the optical region of disk galaxies remains as the main difficulty.

- Catalog of High Angular Resolution Measurements
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/386/492
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The Catalog of High Angular Resolution Measurements (CHARM) includes most of the measurements obtained by the techniques of lunar occultations and long-baseline interferometry at visual and infrared wavelengths, which have appeared in the literature or have otherwise been made public until mid-2001. A total of 2432 measurements of 1625 sources are included, along with extensive auxiliary information. In particular, visual and infrared photometry is included for almost all the sources. This has been partly extracted from currently available catalogs, and partly obtained specifically for CHARM. The main aim is to provide a compilation of sources which could be used as calibrators or for science verification purposes by the new generation of large ground-based facilities such as the ESO Very Large Interferometer and the Keck Interferometer.

- Title:
- Catalog of high extinction clouds
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/515/A42
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The earliest phases of massive star formation are found in cold and dense infrared dark clouds (IRDCs). Since the detection method of IRDCs is very sensitive to the local properties of the background emission, we present here an alternative method to search for high column density in the Galactic plane by using infrared extinction maps. We find clouds between 1 and 5kpc, of which many were missed by previous surveys. By studying the physical conditions of a subsample of these clouds, we aim at a better understanding of the initial conditions of massive star formation. We made extinction maps of the Galactic plane based on the 3.6-4.5 microns color excess between the two shortest wavelength Spitzer IRAC bands, reaching to visual extinctions of ~100mag and column densities of 9x10^22^cm^-2^. From this we compiled a new sample of cold and compact high extinction clouds. We used the MAMBO array at the IRAM 30m telescope to study the morphology, masses, and densities of the clouds and the dense clumps within them. The latter were followed up by pointed ammonia observations with the 100m Effelsberg telescope to determine rotational temperatures and kinematic distances. Extinction maps of the Galactic plane trace large scale structures such as the spiral arms. The extinction method probes lower column densities, N(H_2)~4x10^22^cm^-2^, than the 1.2mm continuum, which reaches up to N(H_2)~3x10^23^cm^-2^ but is less sensitive to large scale structures. The 1.2mm emission maps reveal that the high extinction clouds contain extended cold dust emission, from filamentary structures to still diffuse clouds. Most of the clouds are dark in 24 microns, but several show already signs of star formation via maser emission or bright infrared sources, suggesting that the high extinction clouds contain a variety of evolutionary stages. The observations suggest an evolutionary scheme from dark, cold and diffuse clouds, to clouds with a stronger 1.2mm peak and to finally clouds with many strong 1.2mm peaks, which are also warmer, more turbulent, and already have some star formation signposts.

- Catalog of High-Mass X-Ray Binaries in the Galaxy (Dynamic Version)
- Short Name:
- HMXBCAT2
- Date:
- 25 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) are a particular class of high-energy sources which require multi-wavelength observational efforts to be properly characterized. New identifications and refinement of previous measurements are regularly published in the literature by independent teams of researchers and could, once collected in a catalog, offer a tool to facilitate further studies on HMXBs. The authors aim to update on previous instances of catalogs of HMXBs in the Galaxy, and provide the community easy access to the most complete set of observables on Galactic HMXBs. On top of the fixed version that is available in VizieR, they also aim to host and maintain a dynamic version that can be updated upon request from users, and where any modification will be logged. Using previous catalogs of HMXBs supplemented by listings of hard X-ray sources detected in the past 20 years, the authors produce a base set of HMXBs and candidates by means of identifier and sky coordinate cross-matches. They query SIMBAD for unreferenced HMXBs. They search for as many hard X-ray, soft X-ray, optical and infrared counterparts to the HMXBs as we can in well-known catalogs and compile their coordinates. Each HMXB is subject to a meticulous search in the literature to find relevant measurements and their original reference. The authors provide a catalog of HMXBs in the Galaxy with their best known coordinates, companion star spectral type, systemic radial velocities, component masses, orbital period, eccentricity and spin period when available. This catalog also provides the coordinates and identifiers for each counterpart found from hard X-rays to near-infrared, including counterparts from the recent Gaia DR3 catalog. This catalog was created from data-mining the published literature. It takes into account information available through 2022. Values for binary parameters are joined with a reference in which the value was derived. Position data for which the authors have manually found a counterpart also have a specific reference; if not, then the data comes directly from the corresponding catalog. This database table was first created by the HEASARC in October 2023, based on the 2023-09 version of this catalog, found from the <a href="https://binary-revolution.github.io/HMXBwebcat/">Binary rEvolution website</a>. It is automatically updated in the HEASARC database within a few days of a new version being released on that website. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
