MUSE-Wide survey: 831 emission line galaxies

Description:
We present a first instalment of the MUSE-Wide survey, covering an area of 22.2 arcmin^2^ (corresponding to ~20% of the final survey) in the CANDELS/Deep area of the Chandra Deep Field South. We use the MUSE integral field spectrograph at the ESO VLT to conduct a full-area spectroscopic mapping at a depth of 1h exposure time per 1-arcmin^2^ pointing. We searched for compact emission line objects using our newly developed LSDCat software based on a 3-D matched filtering approach, followed by interactive classification and redshift measurement of the sources. Our catalogue contains 831 distinct emission line galaxies with redshifts ranging from 0.04 to 6. Roughly one third (237) of the emission line sources are Lyman{alpha} emitting galaxies with 3<z<6, only four of which had previously measured spectroscopic redshifts. At lower redshifts 351 galaxies are detected primarily by their [OII] emission line (0.3<~z<~1.5), 189 by their [OIII] line (0.21<~z<~0.85), and 46 by their H{alpha} line (0.04<~z<~0.42). Comparing our spectroscopic redshifts to photometric redshift estimates from the literature, we find excellent agreement for z<1.5 with a median {Delta}z of only ~4x10^-4^ and an outlier rate of 6%, however a significant systematic offset of {Delta}z=0.26 and an outlier rate of 23% for Ly{alpha} emitters at z>3. Together with the catalogue we also release 1D PSF-weighted extracted spectra and small 3D datacubes centred on each of the 831 sources.

Title:
Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 IR Survey
Short Name:

Publisher:

Description:
We present a near-infrared spectroscopic survey of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies in the southern hemisphere (using the SOFI instrument on the ESO-NTT telescope), sampled from optical surveys. We examine the kinematics of the broad-line region, probed by the emission line width of hydrogen (Paschen{alpha} and H{beta}). We observed 57 objects, of which we could firmly measure Paschen{alpha} in 49 cases. We find that a single Lorentzian fit (preferred on theoretical grounds) is preferred over multi-component Gaussian fits to the line profiles; a lack of narrow-line region emission, overwhelmed by the pole-on view of the broad line region (BLR) light, supports this. We recompute the catalog black hole (BH) mass estimates, using the values of FWHM and luminosity of H{beta}, both from catalog values and re-fitted Lorentzian values. We find a relationship slope greater than unity compared to the catalog values. We ascribe this to contamination by galactic light or difficulties with line flux measurements. However, the comparison of masses computed by the fitted Lorentzian and Gaussian measurements show a slope close to unity. Comparing the BH masses estimated from both Paschen{alpha} and H{beta}, the line widths and fluxes shows deviations from expected; in general, however, the computed BH masses are comparable. We posit a scenario where an intermixture of dusty and dust-free clouds (or alternately a structured atmosphere) differentially absorbs the line radiation of the BLR, due to dust absorption and hydrogen bound-free absorption.
513. NBC Quasar Candidate Catalog

Title:
NBC Quasar Candidate Catalog
Short Name:
J/ApJS/155/257
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalog of 100563 unresolved, UV-excess (UVX) quasar candidates to g=21 from 2099 deg^2^ of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release One (DR1) imaging data. Existing spectra of 22737 sources reveals that 22191 (97.6%) are quasars; accounting for the magnitude dependence of this efficiency, we estimate that 95502 (95.0%) of the objects in the catalog are quasars. Such a high efficiency is unprecedented in broadband surveys of quasars. This "proof-of-concept" sample is designed to be maximally efficient, but still has 94.7% completeness to unresolved, g~<19.5, UVX quasars from the DR1 quasar catalog. This efficient and complete selection is the result of our application of a probability density type analysis to training sets that describe the four-dimensional color distribution of stars and spectroscopically confirmed quasars in the SDSS. Specifically, we use a nonparametric Bayesian classification, based on kernel density estimation, to parameterize the color distribution of astronomical sources - allowing for fast and robust classification. We further supplement the catalog by providing photometric redshifts and matches to FIRST/VLA, ROSAT, and USNO-B sources.
514. Nearby early-type galaxies catalog

Title:
Nearby early-type galaxies catalog
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/460/4492
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalogue of 1715 early-type galaxies from the literature, spanning the luminosity range from faint dwarf spheroidal galaxies to giant elliptical galaxies. The aim of this catalogue is to be one of the most comprehensive and publicly available collections of data on early-type galaxies. The emphasis in this catalogue lies on dwarf elliptical galaxies, for which some samples with detailed data have been published recently. For almost all of the early-type galaxies included in it, this catalogue contains data on their locations, distances, redshifts, half-light radii, the masses of their stellar populations and apparent magnitudes in various passbands. Data on metallicity and various colours are available for a majority of the galaxies presented here. The data on magnitudes, colours, metallicities and masses of the stellar populations is supplemented with entries that are based on fits to data from simple stellar population models and existing data from observations. Also, some simple transformations have been applied to the data on magnitudes, colours and metallicities in this catalog, in order to increase the homogeneity of this data. Estimates on the Sersic profiles, internal velocity dispersions, maximum rotational velocities, dynamical masses and ages are listed for several hundreds of the galaxies in this catalogue. Finally, each quantity listed in this catalogue is accompanied with information on its source, so that users of this catalogue can easily exclude data that they do not consider as reliable enough for their purposes.

516. Nearby poor clusters of galaxies catalog

Title:
Nearby poor clusters of galaxies catalog
Short Name:
J/AJ/118/2014
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
A catalog of 732 optically selected, nearby poor clusters of galaxies covering the entire sky north of -3{deg} declination is presented. The poor clusters, called WBL clusters, were identified as concentrations of three or more galaxies with photographic magnitudes brighter than 15.7, possessing a galaxy surface overdensity of 10^4/3^. These criteria are consistent with those used in the identification of the original Yerkes poor clusters, and this new catalog substantially increases the sample size of such objects. These poor clusters cover the entire range of galaxy associations up to and including Abell clusters, systematically including poor and rich galaxy systems spanning over 3 orders of magnitude in the cluster mass function. As a result, this new catalog contains a greater diversity of richness and structures than other group catalogs, such as the Hickson and Yerkes catalogs. The information on individual galaxies includes redshifts and cross-references to other galaxy catalogs. The entries for the clusters include redshift (where available) and cross-references to other group and cluster catalogs.
517. Near IR Imaging of Early-Type Galaxies
ID:

Title:
Near IR Imaging of Early-Type Galaxies
Short Name:
J/ApJS/124/127
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
An imaging survey of 341 nearby early-type galaxies in the near-infrared K-band atmospheric window (2.2{micron}) is described. The galaxies primarily reside in 13 nearby rich clusters (85%), while some additional galaxies are drawn from loose groups (12%) and the general field (3%). Surface photometry was measured for the entire sample. Detailed corrections were derived from an extensive grid of seeing-convolved r^1/4^ models and then applied to the isophotal surface brightness, aperture magnitude, and ellipticity profiles. Global photometric parameters were derived from this seeing-corrected photometry. More than 25% of the sample has been observed at least twice, and these repeat measurements demonstrate the small internal uncertainties on the derived global photometric parameters. Extensive comparisons with aperture photometry from the literature demonstrate that the photometric system is fully consistent with other photometric systems to <=0.01mag and confirm the estimates of internal random uncertainties. Additional global parameters are drawn from the literature in a homogeneous manner in order to construct a large catalog of galaxy properties: 95% of the galaxies have a velocity dispersion, 69% have a Mg_2_ index, 80% have an optical r_eff_ and {mu}_eff_, 82% have a D_n_, and 81% have a derived optical - infrared color measurement. This large data set provides excellent source material for investigations of the physical origins of the global scaling relations of early-type galaxies, velocity fields in the local universe, and comparisons to higher redshift early-type galaxies.

Title:
NEWFIRM MBS: photometric catalogs
Short Name:
J/ApJ/735/86

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present deep near-IR (NIR) medium-bandwidth photometry over the wavelength range 1-1.8um in the All-wavelength Extended Groth strip International Survey (AEGIS) and Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) fields. The observations were carried out using the NOAO Extremely Wide-Field Infrared Imager (NEWFIRM) on the Mayall 4m Telescope on Kitt Peak as part of the NEWFIRM Medium-Band Survey (NMBS), an NOAO survey program. In this paper, we describe the full details of the observations, data reduction, and photometry for the survey. We also present a public K-selected photometric catalog, along with accurate photometric redshifts. The redshifts are computed with 37 (20) filters in the COSMOS (AEGIS) fields, combining the NIR medium-bandwidth data with existing UV (Galaxy Evolution Explorer), visible and NIR (Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and Subaru Telescope), and mid-IR (Spitzer/IRAC) imaging. We find excellent agreement with publicly available spectroscopic redshifts, with {sigma}_z_/(1+z)~1%-2% for ~4000 galaxies at z=0-3. The NMBS catalogs contain ~13000 galaxies at z>1.5 with accurate photometric redshifts and rest-frame colors. Due to the increased spectral resolution obtained with the five NIR medium-band filters, the median 68% confidence intervals of the photometric redshifts of both quiescent and star-forming galaxies are a factor of about two times smaller when comparing catalogs with medium-band NIR photometry to NIR broadband photometry.

CDS
Description:
We present a catalogue of candidates in extragalactic objects -- the Northern Extragalactic WISExPan-STARRS (NEWS), which covers almost 3/4 of the sky in a broad optical-infrared spectral range, with a depth of up to 23mag in optical filter g. To create the NEWS catalogue, we used the mid-IR data of the WISE survey (W1,W2) paired up with photometric information of the Pan-STARRS DR1 survey in the optical and near-IR (g,r,i,z,y) spectral ranges. Our catalogue is the result of a classification of the WISExPan-STARRS objects with the SVM machine-learning algorithm. The classification was based solely on photometric information and the automatic creation of features that was carried out using an autoencoder neural network. NEWS catalogue contains 40,350,492 extragalactic objects (galaxies and quasars), identified with a high classification quality (>98%).
