- Description:
- We present Tully-Fisher observations for 35 rich Abell clusters of galaxies. Results from I-band photometry and optical rotation curve work constitute the bulk of this paper. This is the third such data installment of an all-sky survey of 52 clusters in the distance range ~50 to 200h^-1^Mpc. The complete data set provides the basis for determining an accurate Tully-Fisher template relation and for estimating the amplitude and direction of the local bulk flow on a 100h^-1^Mpc scale

- Title:
- Abell 576 galaxies magnitude and velocities

- J/ApJ/470/724

- Description:
- We analyse the galaxy population and dynamics of the galaxy cluster A576; the observational constraints include 281 redshifts (230 new), R-band CCD galaxy photometry over a 2h^-1^Mpcx2h^-1^Mpc region centered on the cluster, an Einstein IPC X-ray image, and an Einstein MPC X-ray spectrum. We focus on an 86% complete magnitude-limited sample (R_23.5_<17) of 169 cluster galaxies. The cluster galaxies with emission lines in their spectra have a larger velocity dispersion and are significantly less clustered on this 2h^-1^Mpc scale than galaxies without emission lines. We show that excluding the emission-line galaxies from the cluster sample decreases the velocity dispersion by 18% and the virial mass estimate by a factor of 2. The central cluster region contains a non-emission galaxy population and an intracluster medium which is significantly cooler ({sigma}_core_=387^+250^_-105_km/s and T_X_=1.6-0.3/+0.4keV at 90% confidence) than the global populations ({sigma}=977^+124^_-96_km/s for the non-emission population and T_X_>4keV at 90% confidence). Because (1) the low-dispersion galaxy population is no more luminous than the global population and (2) the evidence for a cooling flow is weak, we suggest that the core of A576 may contain the remnants of a lower mass subcluster. We examine the cluster mass, baryon fraction, and luminosity function. The cluster virial mass varies significantly depending on the galaxy sample used. Consistency between the hydrostatic and virial estimators can be achieved if (1) the gas temperature at r~1h^-1^Mpc is T_X_~8keV (the best-fit value) and (2) several velocity outliers are excluded from the virial calculation. Although the best-fit Schechter function parameters and the ratio of galaxy to gas mass in A576 are typical of other clusters, the baryon fraction is relatively low. Using the consistent cluster binding mass, we show that the gas mass fraction is ~3h^-3/2^% and the baryon fraction is ~4%.

- CDS
- Description:
- Two catalogues of galaxies in the direction of the cluster Abell 496 are presented. The first one includes 3,879 galaxies located in a region roughly +/-1.3 degree from the cluster centre ; it has been obtained by scanning part of a Schmidt photographic plate taken in the Bj band. Positions are very accurate but magnitudes are not. A second catalogue gives a list of galaxies with CCD magnitudes in the V (239 galaxies) and R (610 galaxies) bands for a much smaller region in the centre of the cluster.

- Absolute magnitude of Globular Cluster
- Short Name:

- CDS
- Description:
- We test whether the peak absolute magnitude MV(TO) of the Globular Cluster Luminosity Function (GCLF) can be used for reliable extragalactic distance determination. Starting with the luminosity function of the Galactic Globular Clusters listed in Harris (Cat. <VII/202>) catalogue, we determine MV(TO) either using current calibrations of the absolute magnitude MV(RR) of RR Lyrae stars as a function of the cluster metal content [Fe/H] and adopting selected cluster samples.

- Description:
- We present a new formula for absolute magnitude determination for late-type dwarf stars as a function of (g-r) and (r-i) for Sloan photometry (as defined by Abazajian et al., 2003AJ....126.2081A). The absolute magnitudes estimated by this approach are brighter than those estimated by colour-magnitude diagrams, and they reduce the luminosity function rather close to the luminosity function of Hipparcos.

- Absolute magnitudes of cataclysmic variables
- Short Name:
- J/other/NewA/12.
- Date:

- Description:
- Using reliable trigonometric measurements, we find that the absolute magnitude of cataclysmic variables depends on the orbital period and de-reddened (J-H)_0_ and (H-Ks)_0_ colours of 2MASS (Two Micron All Sky Survey) photometric system. The calibration equation covers the ranges 0.032d<P_orb_<=0.454d, -0.08<(J-H)_0_<=1.54, -0.03<(H-Ks)_0_<=0.56 and 2.0<M_J_<11.7; It is based on trigonometric parallaxes with relative errors of ({sigma}{pi}/{pi})<=0.4. By using the period-luminosity-colours (PLCs) relation, we estimated the distances of cataclysmic variables with orbital periods and 2MASS observations and compared them with distances found from other methods. We suggest that the PLCs relation can be a useful statistical tool to estimate the distances of cataclysmic variables.

- Description:
- We have measured the velocity of the Local Group with respect to an inertial frame defined by the 119 Abell and Abell, Corwin, & Olowin (ACO, Cat. <VII/110A>) clusters contained within 15000km/s. The observations consist of a full-sky peculiar velocity survey with an effective depth ranging from 8000 to 11000km/s, depending on how the observations are weighted with redshift. This is the deepest peculiar velocity survey yet conducted. Clusters are selected by heliocentric redshift, and the sample is volume-limited. We use the Hoessel (1980ApJ...241..493H) relationship between the metric luminosities of the brightest clusters galaxies (BCGs) and the slope of their brightness profiles as the distance indicator. The Cousins R-band luminosity within a metric radius of 10h^-1^kpc yields a typical distance error of 16% for a single BCG.

- Description:
- We examine the absolute magnitudes and light-curve shapes of 14 nearby (redshift z=0.004-0.027) Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) observed in the ultraviolet (UV) with the Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope. Colors and absolute magnitudes are calculated using both a standard Milky Way extinction law and one for the Large Magellanic Cloud that has been modified by circumstellar scattering. We find very different behavior in the near-UV filters (uvw1_rc_ covering ~2600-3300{AA} after removing optical light, and u~3000-4000{AA}) compared to a mid-UV filter (uvm2~2000-2400{AA}).

- Title:
- AB-type RR Lyrae stars from ASAS and WASP
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/445/1584
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- In this article, we present results based on high-density, high-precision Wide-Angle Search for Planets (WASP) light curves supplemented with lower-precision photometry from the All-Sky Automated Survey (ASAS) for 268 RR Lyrae stars (176 regular, 92 Blazhko). Light curves were Fourier-decomposed and coefficients from WASP were transformed to the ASAS standard using 24 common stars. Coefficients were then compared with similar data from Galactic globular clusters, the Galactic bulge and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC). Using Fourier coefficients, we also calculated physical parameters via standard equations from the literature. We confirmed the results of previous authors, including lower amplitudes and longer rise times for Blazhko stars. It was found that in the R_31_ versus R_21_ plot the location of a star depends mainly on its metallicity and that Blazhko stars prefer a different location from modulation-free stars. Field and globular cluster RR Lyrae variables have a different {phi}21 and {phi}31 from stars in the LMC, SMC and Galactic bulge. Although there are some weak indications that Blazhko stars could tend towards a slightly lower metallicity and shorter periods, no convincing proof was found. The most interesting highlight is the identification of a very recently proposed new group of metal-rich RR Lyrae type stars. These low-luminosity, metal-strong variables, comprising both Blazhko and regular stars, have shorter periods and about 180K higher temperature at constant (B-V)_0_ than the rest of the stars in the sample.

- Title:
- A catalog of globular cluster systems
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We present a catalog of 422 galaxies with published measurements of their globular cluster (GC) populations. Of these, 248 are E galaxies, 93 are S0 galaxies, and 81 are spirals or irregulars. Among various correlations of the total number of GCs with other global galaxy properties, we find that N_GC_ correlates well though nonlinearly with the dynamical mass of the galaxy bulge M_dyn_=4{sigma}_e_^2^R_e_/G, where {sigma}_e_ is the central velocity dispersion and R_e_ the effective radius of the galaxy light profile. We also present updated versions of the GC specific frequency S_N_ and specific mass S_M_ versus host galaxy luminosity and baryonic mass. These graphs exhibit the previously known U-shape: highest S_N_ or S_M_ values occur for either dwarfs or supergiants, but in the midrange of galaxy size (10^9^-10^10^L_{sun}_) the GC numbers fall along a well-defined baseline value of S_N_=~1 or S_M_=0.1, similar among all galaxy types. Along with other recent discussions, we suggest that this trend may represent the effects of feedback, which systematically inhibited early star formation at either very low or very high galaxy mass, but which had its minimum effect for intermediate masses. Our results strongly reinforce recent proposals that GC formation efficiency appears to be most nearly proportional to the galaxy halo mass M_halo_. The mean "absolute" efficiency ratio for GC formation that we derive from the catalog data is M_GCS_/M_halo_=6x10^-5^. We suggest that the galaxy-to-galaxy scatter around this mean value may arise in part because of differences in the relative timing of GC formation versus field-star formation. Finally, we find that an excellent empirical predictor of total GC population for galaxies of all luminosities is N_GC_~(R_e_{sigma}_e_)^1.3^, a result consistent with fundamental plane scaling relations.
