- Description:
- We present results of a blind 21cm HI-line imaging survey of a galaxy overdensity located behind the Milky Way at l, b ~= 160{deg}, 0.5{deg}. The overdensity corresponds to a zone-of-avoidance crossing of the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster filament. Although it is known that this filament contains an X-ray galaxy cluster (3C 129) hosting two strong radio galaxies, little is known about galaxies associated with this potentially rich cluster because of the high Galactic dust extinction. We mapped a sky area of ~9.6 deg^2^ using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope in a hexagonal mosaic of 35 pointings observed for 12h each, in the radial velocity range cz=2400-16600km/s. The survey has a sensitivity of 0.36mJy/beam rms at a velocity resolution of 16.5km/s. We detected 211 galaxies, 62 per cent of which have a near-infrared counterpart in the UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey. We present a catalogue of the HI properties and an HI atlas containing total intensity maps, position-velocity diagrams, global HI profiles and UKIDSS counterpart images. For the resolved galaxies we also present HI velocity fields and radial HI surface density profiles. A brief analysis of the structures outlined by these galaxies finds that 87 of them lie at the distance of the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster (cz~4000-8000km/s) and seem to form part of the 3C 129 cluster. Further 72 detections trace an overdensity at a velocity of cz~=10000km/s and seem to coincide with a structure predicted from mass density reconstructions in the first 2MASS Redshift Survey.

- Description:
- Results are presented of the 345 GHz spectral survey toward three sources in the W 3 Giant Molecular Cloud: W 3 IRS4, W 3 IRS5 and W 3(H_2_O). Nearly 90% of the atmospheric window between 334 and 365GHz has been scanned using the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) down to a noise level of ~80mK per resolution element. These observations are complemented by a large amount of data in the 230GHz atmospheric window. From this data set physical conditions and beam-averaged column densities are derived for more than 14 chemically different species (over 24 different isotopes). The physical parameters derived in Paper I (Helmich et al., 1994A&A...283..626H) are confirmed by the analysis of the excitation of other species, although there is evidence that the silicon- and sulfur-bearing molecules exist in a somewhat denser and warmer environment. The densities are high, >=10^6^cm^-3^, in the three sources and the kinetic temperatures for the bulk of the gas range from 55K for IRS4 to 220K for W 3(H_2_O). The chemical differences between the three sources are very striking: silicon- and sulfur-bearing molecules such as SiO and SO_2_ are prominent toward IRS5, whereas organic molecules like CH_3_OH, CH_3_OCH_3_ and CH_3_OCHO are at least an order of magnitude more abundant toward W 3(H_2_O). Vibrationally excited molecules are also detected toward this source. Only simple molecules are found toward IRS4. The data provide constraints on the amount of deuterium fractionation and the ionization fraction in the observed regions as well. These chemical characteristics are discussed in the context of an evolutionary sequence, in which IRS5 is the youngest, W 3(H_2_O) somewhat older and IRS4, although still enigmatic, the oldest.

- Description:
- We present an overview of the GBT Observations of TMC-1: Hunting Aromatic Molecules Large Program on the Green Bank Telescope. This and a related program were launched to explore the depth and breadth of aromatic chemistry in the interstellar medium at the earliest stages of star formation, following our earlier detection of benzonitrile (c-C6H5CN) in TMC-1. In this work, details of the observations, use of archival data, and data reduction strategies are provided. Using these observations, the interstellar detection of propargyl cyanide (HCCCH2CN) is described, as well as the accompanying laboratory spectroscopy. We discuss these results, and the survey project as a whole, in the context of investigating a previously unexplored reservoir of complex, gas-phase molecules in pre-stellar sources. A series of companion papers describe other new astronomical detections and analyses.

- Description:
- We introduce xCOLD GASS, a legacy survey providing a census of molecular gas in the local universe. Building on the original COLD GASS survey, we present here the full sample of 532 galaxies with CO (1-0) measurements from the IRAM 30m telescope. The sample is mass-selected in the redshift interval 0.01<z<0.05 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and therefore representative of the local galaxy population with M_*_>10^9^M_{sun}_. The CO (1-0) flux measurements are complemented by observations of the CO (2-1) line with both the IRAM 30 m and APEX telescopes, HI observations from Arecibo, and photometry from SDSS, WISE, and GALEX. Combining the IRAM and APEX data, we find that the ratio of CO (2-1) to CO (1-0) luminosity for integrated measurements is r_21_=0.79+/- 0.03, with no systematic variations across the sample. The CO (1-0) luminosity function is constructed and best fit with a Schechter function with parameters L_CO_^* ^=(7.77+/-2.11)x10^9^K.(km/s).pc^2^, {phi}^*^=(9.84+/-5.41)x10^-4^Mpc^-3^, and {alpha}=-1.19+/-0.05. With the sample now complete down to stellar masses of 10^9^M_{sun}_, we are able to extend our study of gas scaling relations and confirm that both molecular gas fractions (f_H2_) and depletion timescale (t_dep_(H2)) vary with specific star formation rate (or offset from the star formation main sequence) much more strongly than they depend on stellar mass. Comparing the xCOLD GASS results with outputs from hydrodynamic and semianalytic models, we highlight the constraining power of cold gas scaling relations on models of galaxy formation.

- Description:
- The low-frequency radio survey of the XMM-Large Scale Structure (XMM-LSS) field aims to study the connection between the extragalactic radio source populations and their environment as traced by X-ray and optical emission. In this paper we present new radio observations of the XMM-LSS field carried out using the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope at 240 and 610MHz. These observations complement the observations presented by Cohen at al. (2003, Cat. <J/ApJ/591/640>) and Tasse et al. (2006, Cat. <J/A+A/456/791>) at 74 and 325MHz with the Very Large Array. At 240 and 610MHz, we reach noise levels of ~2.5 and ~0.3mJy/beam, leading to the detection of 466 and 769 sources over 18.0 and 12.7 degree^2^ with resolutions of 14.7arcsec and 6.5arcsec respectively. Combining these data with the available source lists at 74, 325 (Tasse et al., 2006, Cat. <J/A+A/456/791>) and 1400MHz (NVSS), we build a multifrequency catalogue containing 1611 radio sources. We check for consistency of the astrometry and flux density estimates. We fit a simple synchrotron radiation model to the flux density measurements of the 318 radio sources being detected in at least 4 bands. While ~26% of them show signature of spectral ageing, ~6% show self absorption.

- Description:
- The XMM Large Scale Structure survey (XMM-LSS) is an X-ray survey aimed at studying the large scale structure of the Universe. The XMM-LSS field is currently being followed up using observations across a wide range of wavelengths, and in this paper we present the observational results of a low frequency radio survey of the XMM-LSS field using the Very Large Array at 74 and 325MHz. This survey will map out the locations of the extragalactic radio sources relative to the large scale structure as traced by the X-ray emission. This is of particular interest because radio galaxies and radio loud AGN show strong and complex interactions with their small and larger scale environment, and different classes of radio galaxies are suggested to lie at different places with respect to the large scale structure.

- Description:
- The XMM-Large Scale Structure survey field (XMM-LSS) is an extragalactic window surveyed in the X-ray with the XMM-Newton satellite. It has also been observed in the optical with the Canada-France Hawaii Telescope (CFHTLS survey), and in the infrared with the Spitzer Space Telescope (SWIRE survey). These surveys have been carried out to study the structure and evolution of both baryonic and dark matter on cosmological scales. In two previous papers, we presented deep low frequency radio surveys of the XMM-LSS field, with limiting flux density levels of ~4 and ~1.5mJy/beam at 325 and 610MHz respectively (5{sigma}). These radio surveys were motivated by the need to understand the various connections between the host galaxies of radio sources and their environments. In this paper, we identify optical counterparts to the low frequency radio sources, using the CFHTLS optical catalogue and images, that have an i-band limiting magnitude of i_AB_~25.

- Description:
- The XMM Large-Scale Structure Survey (XMM-LSS) is a major project to map the large-scale structure of the universe out to cosmological distances. An 8x8 region will be surveyed by XMM with planned optical follow-up to produce a three-dimensional map of many hundreds of clusters out to a redshift of z=1. To explore the relation of the large-scale structure to the location and properties of extragalactic radio sources, the XMM-LSS project also includes a low-frequency radio survey of this region. This combination will provide unprecedented insight into how the radio source formation and evolution are affected by the local environment. Here we present preliminary results from our 325 and 74MHz surveys in this region. At 325MHz, we have a flux limit of 4mJy/beam, a resolution of 6.3", and a total of 256 source detections over 5.6deg^2^. At 74MHz, we have a flux limit of 275mJy/beam, a resolution of 30", and a total of 211 source detections over 110deg^2^. We describe these results and explore what they tell us about the population of extragalactic low-frequency radio sources. The 74MHz survey represents the first presentation of a deep, subarcminute resolution survey at such a low frequency. This was made possible by recent advances in both hardware and data reduction algorithms, which we describe in detail.

- Description:
- We present an analysis of the X-ray spectral properties of 61 hard X-ray (2-8keV) selected sources from the bright XMM-Newton/2dF (f(2-8keV)>10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s) survey. This comprises nine XMMNewton pointings in the North Galactic Pole region (~1.6deg^2^) and overlaps with the SDSS, 2QZ and 2dFGRS surveys. Our sources contribute about 50 per cent of the 2-10keV X-ray background down to the flux limit of 10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s. The hardness ratio distribution of the sample suggests a deficit of heavily absorbed sources. Spectroscopic identifications exist for 34 sources.
