- Description:
- We present the results of a program of optical and near-infrared spectroscopic follow-up of candidate active galactic nuclei (AGNs) selected in the mid-infrared. This survey selects both normal and obscured AGNs closely matched in luminosity across a wide range, from Seyfert galaxies with bolometric luminosities L _bol_~10^10^L_{sun}_ to highly luminous quasars (L_bol_~10^14^L_{sun}_), all with redshifts ranging from 0 to 4.3. Samples of candidate AGNs were selected with mid-infrared color cuts at several different 24{mu}m flux density limits to ensure a range of luminosities at a given redshift. The survey consists of 786 candidate AGNs and quasars, of which 672 have spectroscopic redshifts and classifications. Of these, 137 (20%) are type 1 AGNs with blue continua, 294 (44%) are type 2 objects with extinctions A_V_>~5 toward their AGNs, 96 (14%) are AGNs with lower extinctions (A_V_~1), and 145 (22%) have redshifts, but no clear signs of AGN activity in their spectra. Of the survey objects 50% have L_bol_>10^12^L_{sun}_, in the quasar regime. We present composite spectra for type 2 quasars and objects with no signs of AGN activity in their spectra. We also discuss the mid-infrared - emission-line luminosity correlation and present the results of cross correlations with serendipitous X-ray and radio sources.

- Spitzer 24{mu}m photometry of Hipparcos F stars
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/144/135
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We have conducted a study of debris disks around F stars in order to explore correlations between rotation, stellar winds, and circumstellar disks. We obtained new 24{mu}m photometry from the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) camera for a sample of 188 relatively nearby F dwarfs with various rotation rates and optical colors, and combined it with archival MIPS data for 66 more F stars, as well as Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer data for the entire sample, plus 9 more F stars. Based on the objects' K_s_-[24] and [3.4]-[22] colors, we identify 22 stars in our sample as having 22 and/or 24{mu}m excesses above our detection limit, 13 of which are new discoveries. Our overall disk detection rate is 22/263, or 8%, consistent with previous determinations of disk fractions in the solar neighborhood. While fast-rotating stars are expected to have strong winds capable of efficiently removing dust, we find no correlation between rotational velocity and infrared excess. Similarly, we find no significant difference in excess detection rate between late-type F stars, which have convective surfaces, and early-type F stars, which have fully radiative envelopes. However, the essentially unknown range of ages in this sample may be washing out any effects relating rotation, winds, and disks.

- Spitzer observations of GOODS fields
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present Spitzer 16um imaging of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) fields. We survey 150 arcmin^2^ in each of the two GOODS fields (North and South), to an average 3{sigma} depth of 40 and 65uJy, respectively. We detect ~1300 sources in both fields combined. We validate the photometry using the 3-24um spectral energy distribution of stars in the fields compared to Spitzer spectroscopic templates. Comparison with ISOCAM and AKARI observations in the same fields shows reasonable agreement, though the uncertainties are large. We provide a catalog of photometry, with sources cross-correlated with available Spitzer, Chandra, and Hubble Space Telescope data. Galaxy number counts show good agreement with previous results from ISOCAM and AKARI with improved uncertainties.

- Description:
- Expanding upon the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) survey from Dahm & Hillenbrand (2007, Cat. J/AJ/133/2072), we describe Spitzer IRAC and Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer observations of the populous, 5Myr old open cluster NGC 2362. We analyze the mid-IR colors of cluster members and compared their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) to star+circumstellar disk models to constrain the disk morphologies and evolutionary states. Combining our data with other Spitzer surveys, we investigate the evolution of debris disks around high/intermediate-mass stars and investigate timescales for giant planet formation.

- Spitzer observations of Y and T dwarfs
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/867/109
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Y dwarfs provide a unique opportunity to study free-floating objects with masses <30M_Jup_ and atmospheric temperatures approaching those of known Jupiter-like exoplanets. Obtaining distances to these objects is an essential step toward characterizing their absolute physical properties. Using Spitzer's Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) [4.5] images taken over baselines of ~2-7yrs, we measure astrometric distances for 22 late-T and early Y dwarfs, including updated parallaxes for 18 objects and new parallax measurements for 4 objects. These parallaxes will make it possible to explore the physical parameter space occupied by the coldest brown dwarfs. We also present the discovery of six new late-T dwarfs, updated spectra of two T dwarfs, and the reclassification of a new Y dwarf, WISE J033605.04-014351.0, based on Keck/NIRSPEC J-band spectroscopy. Assuming that effective temperatures are inversely proportional to absolute magnitude, we examine trends in the evolution of the spectral energy distributions of brown dwarfs with decreasing effective temperature. Surprisingly, the Y dwarf class encompasses a large range in absolute magnitude in the near- to mid-infrared photometric bandpasses, demonstrating a larger range of effective temperatures than previously assumed. This sample will be ideal for obtaining mid-infrared spectra with the James Webb Space Telescope because their known distances will make it easier to measure absolute physical properties.

- Spitzer selected starbursts at z~2

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Wide-field Spitzer surveys allow identification of thousands of potentially high-z submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) through their bright 24um emission and their mid-IR colors. We want to determine the average properties of such z~2 Spitzer-selected SMGs by combining millimeter, radio, and infrared photometry for a representative IR-flux (lambda_rest_~8um) limited sample of SMG candidates. A complete sample of 33 sources believed to be starbursts (5.8um-peakers) was selected in the (0.5deg^2^) J1046+56 field with selection criteria F_24um>400uJy, the presence of a redshifted stellar emission peak at 5.8um, and r'_Vega_>23. The field, part of the SWIRE Lockman Hole field, benefits from very deep VLA/GMRT 20cm, 50cm, and 90cm radio data (all 33 sources are detected at 50cm), and deep 160um and 70um Spitzer data. The 33 sources, with photometric redshifts ~1.5-2.5, were observed at 1.2mm with IRAM-30m/MAMBO to an rms ~0.7-0.8mJy in most cases. Their millimeter, radio, 7-band Spitzer, and near-IR properties were jointly analyzed.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a Spitzer IRAC and MIPS survey of NGC 2451A and B, two open clusters in the 50-80Myr age range. We complement these data with extensive ground-based photometry and spectroscopy to identify the cluster members in the Spitzer survey field. We find only two members with 8um excesses. The incidence of excesses at 24um is much higher, i.e., 11 of 31 solar-like stars and 1 of 7 early-type (A) stars. This work nearly completes the debris disk surveys with Spitzer of clusters in the 30-130Myr range. This range is of interest because it is when large planetesimal collisions may have still been relatively common (as indicated by the one that led to the formation of the Moon during this period of the evolution of the solar system). We review the full set of surveys and find that there are only three possible cases out of about 250 roughly solar-mass stars where very large excesses suggest that such collisions have occurred recently.

- SPLASH-SXDF multi-wavelength photometric catalog
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/235/36
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a multi-wavelength catalog in the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field (SXDF) as part of the Spitzer Large Area Survey with Hyper-Suprime-Cam (SPLASH). We include the newly acquired optical data from the Hyper-Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program, accompanied by IRAC coverage from the SPLASH survey. All available optical and near-infrared data is homogenized and resampled on a common astrometric reference frame. Source detection is done using a multi-wavelength detection image including the u-band to recover the bluest objects. We measure multi-wavelength photometry and compute photometric redshifts as well as physical properties for ~1.17 million objects over ~4.2deg^2^, with ~800000 objects in the 2.4deg^2^ HSC-Ultra-Deep coverage. Using the available spectroscopic redshifts from various surveys over the range of 0<z<6, we verify the performance of the photometric redshifts and we find a normalized median absolute deviation of 0.023 and outlier fraction of 3.2%. The SPLASH-SXDF catalog is a valuable, publicly available resource, perfectly suited for studying galaxies in the early universe and tracing their evolution through cosmic time.

- Title:
- SPM Catalog 2.0
- Short Name:
- I/277
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The SPM Catalog 2.0 provides positions, absolute proper motions and photographic BV photometry for over 320,000 stars and galaxies. The Catalog covers an area of ~3700 square degrees in an irregularly bounded band between declinations of -43 and -22 degrees, with a slight extension near the South Galactic Pole, but excluding fields in the plane of the Milky Way. Stars cover the magnitude range 5<V<18.5. The standard errors for the best measured stars are as follows: 20 mas for positions in each coordinate; 2mas/yr for absolute proper motions and 0.05mag for B and V magnitudes. Standard error estimates of positions, absolute proper motions and magnitudes are given for each individual object. In addition to the Catalog, a list of CCD calibrating sequences is provided. Note that all fields (and objects) contained in the 1.0 version of the Catalog are also included in this version. The values of the astrometric parameters for these objects, however, may be different due to refinements in the reduction procedure, (i.e. the SGP fields were re-reduced for inclusion in the SPM catalog 2.0).

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The SPM4 Catalog contains absolute proper motions, celestial coordinates, and B,V photometry for 103,319,647 stars and galaxies between the south celestial pole and -20 degrees declination. The catalog is roughly complete to V=17.5. It is based on photographic and CCD observations taken with the Yale Southern Observatory's double-astrograph at Cesco Observatory in El Leoncito, Argentina. The first-epoch survey, taken from 1965 to 1979, was entirely photographic. The second-epoch survey is approximately 1/3 photographic (taken from 1988 to 1998) and 2/3 CCD-based (taken from 2004 through 2008). Full details about the creation of the SPM4.0 catalog can be found in the paper, and also in the document "spm4_doc.txt" file which describes the original files, accessible from http://www.astro.yale.edu/astrom/spm4cat/
