- Description:
- JK infrared photometry for the bulge globular cluster NGC 6553, combined with high resolution visual VI observations are presented and discussed in connection with the bulge metal rich population. The infrared data were taken with IRAC2 at ESO 2.2m telescope while the optical counterparts are from Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We find a mean magnitude for the horizontal branch of V_HB_=16.92, and K_HB_=12.42+/-0.01. Assuming a reddening of E(B-V)=0.7, the mean distance modulus is (m-M)_0_=13.6 giving an heliocentric distance of 5.2Kpc. This distance is slightly higher than that previously published by Ortolani et al. (1990A&A...236..362O, hereafter OBB90). The brightest giants have been detected at K~6.5 and (V-K)=13.10 transforming to M_K_=-7.34 and (V-K)_0_=11.20, which are exceptionally high values for a globular cluster. The metallicity has been found to be consistent with previous values and an average of [Fe/H]=-0.22+/-0.05 has been adopted. The helium abundance estimated via the R' method yields Y_p_~0.28+/-0.03.

- Description:
- This catalogue contains stellar angular diameter estimate for bright stars, complete for all stars with Hipparcos parallaxes. The JMMC Calibrator Workgroup has long developed methods to estimate the angular diameter of stars, and provides this expertise in the SearchCal software (http://www.jmmc.fr/searchcal). "SearchCal" creates a dynamical catalogue of stars suitable to calibrate Optical Long-Baseline Interferometry (OLBI) observations from on-line queries of CDS catalogues, according to observational parameters. In essence, SearchCal is limited only by the completeness of the stellar catalogues it uses, and in particular is not limited in magnitude. SearchCal being an application centered on OLBI peculiar purposes, it appeared useful to publish the estimated angular diameters of all stars with known parallaxes in a static catalogue. The present catalogue of stellar angular diameters has been obtained from an automated SearchCal results aggregation on the whole celestial sphere. For each star, the value of the limb-darkened angular diameters are computed using a surface brightness method and calibrations for (B-V), (V-R) and (V-K) color indexes. Stars whose angular diameters estimated from the various color indexes are not comparable, are rejected, and a reliable error on the estimated diameter is computed (1). For details of the method see Bonneau et al. (2006A&A...456..789B). To avoid specific confusion problems, spectroscopic binaries in the 9th Catalogue of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits (Pourbaix et al., 2009, Cat. B/sb9) or close visual binaries with a separation of less than 2 arc seconds in the Washington Visual Double Star Catalog (Mason et al., 2001, Cat. B/wds) have been filtered out.

- Description:
- This catalogue contains stellar angular diameter estimates for nearly all the stars of the Hipparcos and Tycho catalogue that have an associated spectral type in Simbad/CDS. The median error on the diameters is around 1.5%, with possible biases of around ~2%. For each object, the limb-darkened diameter retained is the mean value of several estimates performed using different couples of photometries. The chi-square representing the dispersion between these values is also given (it is below 2 for ~400000 stars). An additional flag signals stars that could represent a risk if chosen as calibrators for Optical Long-Baseline Interferometry, independently of the correctness of their apparent diameter estimate. This catalog replaces the catalog II/300/jsdc .

- J-type carbon stars in LMC

- CDS
- Description:
- A sample of 1497 carbon stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has been observed in the red part of the spectrum with the 2dF facility on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. Of these, 156 have been identified as J-type (i.e. ^13^C-rich) carbon stars using a technique which provides a clear distinction between J stars and the normal N-type carbon stars that comprise the bulk of the sample, and yields few borderline cases. A simple two-dimensional classification of the spectra, based on their spectral slopes in different wavelength regions, has been constructed and found to be related to the more conventional c and j indices, modified to suit the spectral regions observed. Most of the J stars form a photometric sequence in the K-(J-K) colour-magnitude diagram, parallel to and 0.6mag fainter than the N-star sequence. A subset of the J stars (about 13 per cent) are brighter than this J-star sequence; most of these are spectroscopically different from the other J stars. The bright J stars have stronger CN bands than the other J stars and are found strongly concentrated in the central regions of the LMC. Most of the rather few stars in common with Hartwick and Cowley's sample (1988ApJ...334..135H) of suspected CH stars are J stars. Overall, the proportion of carbon stars identified as J stars is somewhat lower than has been found in the Galaxy. The Na D lines are weaker in the LMC J stars than in either the Galactic J stars or the LMC N stars, and do not seem to depend on temperature.

- Description:
- We present the KASI-Yonsei Deep Imaging Survey of Clusters targeting 14 clusters at 0.015<~z<~0.144 using the Inamori Magellan Areal Camera and Spectrograph on the 6.5m Magellan Baade telescope and the MegaCam on the 3.6m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. We provide a catalog of cluster galaxies that lists magnitudes, redshifts, morphologies, bulge-to-total ratios, and local density. Based on the 1409 spectroscopically confirmed cluster galaxies brighter than -19.8 in the r band, we study galaxy morphology, color, and visual features generated by galaxy mergers. We see a clear trend between morphological content and cluster velocity dispersion, which was not presented by previous studies using local clusters. Passive spirals are preferentially found in a highly dense region (i.e., cluster center), indicating that they have gone through environmental quenching. In deep images ({mu}_r'_~27mag/arcsec^2^), 20% of our sample shows signatures of recent mergers, which is not expected from theoretical predictions and a low frequency of ongoing mergers in our sample (~4%). Such a high fraction of recent mergers in the cluster environment supports a scenario that the merger events that made the features have preceded the galaxy accretion into the cluster environment. We conclude that mergers affect a cluster population mainly through the preprocessing of recently accreted galaxies.

- Description:
- The entire KG (KG) catalog is presented which combines extensive new measurements of their optical parameters with a literature and database search. The measurements were made using images extracted from the STScI Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) of Jpg(blue), Fpg(red) and Ipg(NIR) band photographic sky survey plates obtained by the Palomar and UK Schmidt telescopes. We provide accurate coordinates, morphological type, spectral and activity classes, blue apparent diameters, axial ratios, position angles, red, blue and NIR apparent magnitudes, as well as counts of neighboring objects in a circle of radius 50kpc from centers of KG. Special attention was paid to the individual descriptions of the galaxies in the original Kazarian lists, which clarified many cases of misidentifications of the objects, particularly among interacting systems. The total number of individual Kazarian objects in the database is now 706. We also include the redshifts which are now available for 404 galaxies, and the 2MASS infrared magnitudes for 598 KG. The database also includes extensive notes, which summarize information about the membership of KG in different systems of galaxies, and about revised activity classes and redshifts. An atlas of several interesting subclasses of KG is also presented.

- Description:
- We present deep, wide-field, Ks-band (2.14-micron) images towards 87 southern massive star formation regions traced by methanol maser emission. Using point-spread function fitting, we generate 2.14-micron point source catalogues (PSCs) towards each of the regions. For the regions between 10{deg}<l<350{deg} and |b|<1, we match the 2.14-micron sources with the GLIMPSE point source catalogue to generate a combined 2.14- to 8.0-micron point source catalogue. We provide this data for the astronomical community to utilise in studies of the stellar content of embedded clusters.

- K-band luminosity function from 2MASX
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/702/955
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- Differential Ks-band luminosity functions (LFs) are presented for a complete sample of 1613 nearby bright galaxies segregated by visible morphology. The LF for late-type spirals follows a power law that rises toward low luminosities whereas the LFs for ellipticals, lenticulars, and bulge-dominated spirals are peaked and decline toward both higher and lower luminosities. Each morphological type (E, S0, S0/a-Sab, Sb-Sbc, Sc-Scd) contributes approximately equally to the overall Ks-band luminosity density of galaxies in the local universe. Type averaged bulge/disk ratios are used to subtract the disk component leading to the prediction that the Ks-band LF for bulges is bimodal with ellipticals dominating the high luminosity peak, comprising 60% of the bulge luminosity density in the local universe with the remaining 40% contributed by lenticulars and the bulges of spirals. Overall, bulges contribute 30% of the galaxy luminosity density at Ks in the local universe with spiral disks making up the remainder. If bulge luminosities indicate central black hole (BH) masses, then our results predict that the BH mass function is also bimodal.

- Description:
- We present a measurement of the K-band luminosity function (LF) of field galaxies obtained from near-infrared imaging of a sample of 345 galaxies selected from the Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey. The LF is reasonably well fitted over the 10-mag range -26 < M(K-band) < -16 by a Schechter function with the parameters {alpha}=-1.16+/-0.19, M*=-23.58+/-0.42 and {phi*}=0.012+/-0.008 Mpc-3, assuming a Hubble constant of 100 km.s-1.Mpc-1. We have also estimated the LF for two subsets of galaxies subdivided by the equivalent width of the H{alpha} emission line at EW(H{alpha})=1nm. There is no significant difference in LF shape between the two samples, although there is a hint (~1{sigma} significance) that emission-line galaxies (ELGs) have M* roughly 1 mag fainter than non-ELGs. Contrary to the optical LF, there is no difference in the faint end slope {alpha} between the two samples.
