- Description:
- We describe a Herschel Space Observatory 194-671{mu}m spectroscopic survey of a sample of 121 local luminous infrared galaxies and report the fluxes of the CO J to J-1 rotational transitions for 4<=J<=13, the [NII] 205{mu}m line, the [CI] lines at 609 and 370{mu}m, as well as additional and usually fainter lines. The CO spectral line energy distributions (SLEDs) presented here are consistent with our earlier work, which was based on a smaller sample, that calls for two distinct molecular gas components in general: (i) a cold component, which emits CO lines primarily at J<~4 and likely represents the same gas phase traced by CO (1-0), and (ii) a warm component, which dominates over the mid-J regime (4<J<~10) and is intimately related to current star formation. We present evidence that the CO line emission associated with an active galactic nucleus is significant only at J>10. The flux ratios of the two [CI] lines imply modest excitation temperatures of 15-30K; the [CI] 370{mu}m line scales more linearly in flux with CO (4-3) than with CO (7-6). These findings suggest that the [CI] emission is predominantly associated with the gas component defined in (i) above. Our analysis of the stacked spectra in different far-infrared (FIR) color bins reveals an evolution of the SLED of the rotational transitions of H_2_O vapor as a function of the FIR color in a direction consistent with infrared photon pumping.

- Description:
- We have conducted an optical long-slit spectroscopic survey of 1022 galaxies using the 10m Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) at McDonald Observatory. The main goal of the HET Massive Galaxy Survey (HETMGS) is to find nearby galaxies that are suitable for black hole mass measurements. In order to measure accurately the black hole mass, one should kinematically resolve the region where the black hole dominates the gravitational potential. For most galaxies, this region is much less than an arcsecond. Thus, black hole masses are best measured in nearby galaxies with telescopes that obtain high spatial resolution. The HETMGS focuses on those galaxies predicted to have the largest sphere-of-influence, based on published stellar velocity dispersions or the galaxy fundamental plane. To ensure coverage over galaxy types, the survey targets those galaxies across a face-on projection of the fundamental plane. We present the sample selection and resulting data products from the long-slit observations, including central stellar kinematics and emission line ratios. The full data set, including spectra and resolved kinematics, is available online. Additionally, we show that the current crop of black hole masses are highly biased toward dense galaxies and that especially large disks and low dispersion galaxies are under-represented. This survey provides the necessary groundwork for future systematic black hole mass measurement campaigns.

- Description:
- Using both the Arecibo 305m and the Nancay decimetric 100-m class radio telescopes, we have observed the H I line of 116 Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies from the Bothun et al. (1985AJ.....90.2487B) subset of LSB galaxies in the Uppsala General Catalog. Combining our results with previous studies done on the Bothun et al. (1985AJ.....90.2487B) catalog results in a well-defined catalog of H I properties of 526 LSB galaxies ranging in redshift space from 0<=z<=0.1. With this catalog in hand, we have been able to explore the parameter space occupied by LSB galaxies more completely than has been previously possible.

- CDS
- Description:
- We present HI-observations of 56 blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies of which 44 have been detected in the 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen with the 100-m radiotelescope at Effelsberg. Optical data (e.g., from NED) and HI data from other observers and telescopes are used to estimate the likelihood of confusion from other galaxies within the Effelsberg beam. The selected 29 BCD galaxies without any sign of confusion are used to infer several characteristic properties of the BCD galaxy population. In some respects, they resemble normal galaxies: e.g., the relations between global parameters like linear diameter A0 versus blue luminosity LB and the M_HI_/LB ratio vs. LB. At least five of these BCDGs emit milli-Jansky level radio continuum emission.

- Description:
- Neutral hydrogen observations with the 100-m Effelsberg radio telescope are presented for 268 spiral galaxies from the Revised Flat Galaxy Catalog (<VII/219>). Fluxes, radial velocities and line widths are given for 121 detected galaxies, as well as search parameters for 147 undetected objects. Most of the detected galaxies are late type (Sbc -- Sdm) spirals with a mean M_25_/L_B ratio of 2.5 in solar units. (M_25_ is the total mass within the 25mag/arcsec^2^ isophote) and a mean hydrogen mass fraction M_HI_/M_25_=0.13. Correlations between global parameters are discussed briefly. A comparison with a sample of nearby galaxies (within 10Mpc) demonstrates the validity of the same linear relation between the optical luminosity (L_B_) and the linear diameter (A_25_) down to the smallest galaxies.

- Description:
- The 21-cm neutral hydrogen line has been measured for the first time in 39 non-Seyfert type galaxies from Kazarian list, with the Nancay radiotelescope. The line profiles, widths at 20% and 50% of the peak intensity, radial velocities as well as total fluxes are presented. The values of radial velocity are in fairly good agreement with those obtained from optical spectra. The width values at 20% of the peak vary in wide range from 113km/s (KAZ 579) to 608km/s for KAZ 566. Nine of our objects remained undetected, whether their HI-flux was too faint, the integration time too short, or the frequency sighted wrong. However, for part of them, there were positive hint of detection. Comments on individual objects are given.

- Description:
- We have carried out an extremely long integration time (9000s/beam) 21-cm blind survey of 60deg^2^ in Centaurus using the Parkes multibeam system. We find that the noise continues to fall as sqrt(t_obs_) throughout, enabling us to reach an H I column-density limit of 4.2x10^18^cm^-2^ for galaxies with a velocity width of 200km/s in the central 32deg^2^ region, making this the deepest survey to date in terms of column density sensitivity. The H I data are complemented by very deep optical observations from digital stacking of multi-exposure UK Schmidt Telescope R-band films, which reach an isophotal level of 26.5Rmag/arcsec^2^ (27.5Bmag/arcsec^2^). 173 H I sources have been found, 96 of which have been uniquely identified with optical counterparts in the overlap area.

- Description:
- We present the results of our spectroscopic observations of eight detached eclipsing binaries (DEBs), selected from the Kepler Eclipsing Binary Catalog. Radial velocities (RVs) were calculated from high-resolution spectra obtained with the HIgh-Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (HIDES) spectrograph, attached to the 1.88-m telescope of the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory, and were used to characterize the targets in combination with the Kepler light curves. For each binary, we obtained a full set of orbital and physical parameters, reaching precision below 3 per cent in masses and radii for five pairs. By comparing our results with theoretical models, we assess the distance, age and evolutionary status of the researched objects. We also study eclipse timing variations of selected objects, and identify a new system with a {gamma} Dor pulsator. Two systems are triples, and show lines coming from three components. In one case, the motion of the outer star and the perturbation in the RVs of the inner binary are clearly visible and periodical, which allows us to directly calculate the mass of the third star and inclination of the outer orbit. In the second case, we only see a clear motion of the tertiary and investigate two scenarios: that it is a linear trend coming from the orbital motion around the inner binary and that it is caused by a planetary mass companion. When possible, we also compare our results with the literature, and conclude that only by combining photometry with RVs, it is possible to obtain correct physical parameters of both components of a DEB.

- Description:
- We present results of our spectroscopic observations of nine detached eclipsing binaries (DEBs), selected from the Kepler Eclipsing Binary Catalog, that only show one set of spectral lines. Radial velocities (RVs) were calculated from the high-resolution spectra obtained with the HIgh-Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph (HIDES) instrument, attached to the 1.88-m telescope at the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory, and from the public Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment archive. In our sample, we found five single-lined binaries, with one component dominating the spectrum. The orbital and light-curve solutions were found for four of them, and compared with isochrones, in order to estimate absolute physical parameters and evolutionary status of the components. For the fifth case, we only update the orbital parameters, and estimate the properties of the unseen star. Two other systems show orbital motion with a period known from the eclipse timing variations (ETVs). For these we obtained parameters of outer orbits, by translating the ETVs to RVs of the centre of mass of the eclipsing binary, and combining with the RVs of the outer star. Of the two remaining ones, one is most likely a blend of a faint background DEB with a bright foreground star, which lines we see in the spectra, and the last case is possibly a quadruple bearing a sub-stellar mass object. Where possible, we compare our results with literature, especially with results from asteroseismology. We also report possible detections of solar-like oscillations in our RVs.

- High angular resolution spectroscopy of NGC 1277
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/817/2
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The nearby lenticular galaxy NGC 1277 is thought to host one of the largest black holes known, however the black hole mass measurement is based on low spatial resolution spectroscopy. In this paper, we present Gemini Near-infrared Integral Field Spectrometer observations assisted by adaptive optics. We map out the galaxy's stellar kinematics within ~440pc of the nucleus with an angular resolution that allows us to probe well within the region where the potential from the black hole dominates. We find that the stellar velocity dispersion rises dramatically, reaching ~550km/s at the center. Through orbit-based, stellar-dynamical models we obtain a black hole mass of (4.9+/-1.6)x10^9^M_{sun}_ (1{sigma} uncertainties). Although the black hole mass measurement is smaller by a factor of ~3 compared to previous claims based on large-scale kinematics, NGC 1277 does indeed contain one of the most massive black holes detected to date, and the black hole mass is an order of magnitude larger than expectations from the empirical relation between black hole mass and galaxy luminosity. Given the galaxy's similarities to the higher redshift (z~2) massive quiescent galaxies, NGC 1277 could be a relic, passively evolving since that period. A population of local analogs to the higher redshift quiescent galaxies that also contain over-massive black holes may suggest that black hole growth precedes that of the host galaxy.
