Description:
We present catalogues of faint 1.4-GHz radio sources from extremely deep Very Large Array pointings in the Lockman Hole, the Hubble Deep Field-North (HDF-N) and the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) N2 field. Our analysis of the HDF-N data has produced maps that are significantly deeper than those previously published, and we have used these to search for counterparts to submillimetre sources. For each of the fields, we have derived normalized differential source counts and in the case of the HDF-N find no evidence for the previously reported underdensity of sources; our counts are entirely consistent with those found for the majority of other fields. The catalogues are available as an online supplement to this paper and the maps are also available for download.

Description:
We have undertaken a survey, the Deep X-Ray Radio Blazar Survey (DXRBS), of archived, pointed ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter data for blazars by correlating the ROSAT WGACAT database with several publicly available radio catalogs, restricting our candidate list to serendipitous flat radio spectrum sources ({alpha}_r_<=0.70, where S_{nu}_{prop}{nu}^-{alpha}_r_^). We discuss our survey methods, identification procedure, and first results. Our survey is found to be 95% efficient at finding flat-spectrum radio-loud quasars (FSRQs; 59 of our first 85 identifications) and BL Lacertae objects (22 of our first 85 identifications), a figure that is comparable to or greater than that achieved by other radio and X-ray survey techniques. The identifications presented here show that all previous samples of blazars (even when taken together) did not representatively survey the blazar population, missing critical regions of (LX, LR) parameter space within which large fractions of the blazar population lie. Particularly important is the identification of a large population of FSRQs (>=25% of DXRBS FSRQs) with ratios of X-ray to radio luminosity >=10^-6^({alpha}_rx_<=0.78). In addition, as a result of our greater sensitivity, the DXRBS has already more than doubled the number of FSRQs in complete samples with 5GHz (radio) luminosities between 10^31.5^ and 10^33.5^ergs/s/Hz, and fills in the region of parameter space between X-ray-selected and radio-selected samples of BL Lac objects. The DXRBS is the very first sample to contain statistically significant numbers of blazars at low luminosities, approaching what should be the lower end of the FSRQ luminosity function.

Description:
We have searched the archived, pointed ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter data for blazars by correlating the WGACAT X-ray data base with several publicly available radio catalogues, restricting our candidate list to serendipitous X-ray sources with a flat radio spectrum ({alpha}_r_<=0.70, where S_{nu}_~{nu}^-{alpha}^). his makes up the Deep X-ray Radio Blazar Survey (DXRBS). Here we present new identifications and spectra for 106 sources, including 86 radio-loud quasars, 11 BL Lacertae objects, and nine narrow-line radio galaxies. Together with our previously published objects and already-known sources, our sample now contains 298 identified objects: 234 radio-loud quasars [181 flat-spectrum quasars: FSRQ ({alpha}_r_<=0.50) and 53 steep-spectrum quasars: SSRQ], 36 BL Lacs and 28 narrow-line radio galaxies. Redshift information is available for 96 per cent of these. Thus our selection technique is ~90 per cent efficient at finding radio-loud quasars and BL Lacs. Reaching 5-GHz radio fluxes ~50mJy and 0.1-2.0keV X-ray fluxes a few W10-14erg/cm^2^/s, DXRBS is the faintest and largest flat-spectrum radio sample with nearly complete (~85 per cent) identification.

Title:
Dense cores in the Orion A cloud survey
Short Name:

Description:
We have carried out an H^13^CO^+^ (J=1-0) core survey in a large area of 1.5degx0.5deg, covering the whole region of the Orion A molecular cloud, using the Nobeyama 45m radio telescope with the 25 Beam Array Receiver System (BEARS). This survey is unique in that a large area (~48pc^2^) of the cloud was covered with a high spatial resolution of 21" (0.05pc) and with a deep integration (1sigma~0.1K in T*_A_), resulting in a core mass detection of 1.6M_{sun}_. The morphology of the H^13^CO^+^ (J=1-0) emission is very similar to that of the 850um continuum emission. We identified 236 dense cores from our data with the clumpfind algorithm. The cores are close to virial equilibrium, independent of whether they are thermal or turbulent.

Dense core survey in the Orion B cloud

Description:
We have carried out an H^13^CO^+^(J=1-0 at 86.75433GHz) core survey in a large area of 1deg^2^, covering most of the dense region in the Orion B molecular cloud, using the Nobeyama 45m radio telescope with the 25-BEam Array Receiver System. We cataloged 151 dense cores using the clumpfind method. The cores have mean radius, velocity width, and mass of 0.10+/-0.02pc, 0.53+/-0.15km/s, and 8.1+/-6.4M_{sun}_, respectively, which are very similar to those in the Orion A cloud. We examined the spatial relation between our H^13^CO^+^ cores and the 850um cores observed by Johnstone and colleagues in 2001 (Cat. J/ApJ/559/307) and 2006 (Cat. J/ApJ/639/259), and found that there are two types of spatial relationships: H^13^CO^+^ cores with and without the 850um cores. Since the mean density of the 850um cores is higher than that of the H^13^CO^+^ cores, we can interpret the H^13^CO^+^ cores with 850um cores as being more centrally concentrated and hence more evolved, compared with those without.

Title:
Dense molecular cores. V.

Publisher:

Description:
We present results of the observations of 17 molecular clouds associated with bright FIR sources in the NH_3_ (1, 1) and (2, 2) lines with the 100-m radio telescope in Effelsberg. The lines were detected in 11 clouds and 10 of them have been mapped in these lines. The kinetic temperatures, sizes, masses and mean densities of the ammonia cores have been derived. For most of the detected clouds the masses derived under the assumption of a relative ammonia abundance of {chi}(NH_3_)=3x10^-8^ are close to virial masses. However, in S 88 B the ratio M/M_vir_ is only ~0.1 and in a few other cases this ratio is significantly lower than unity which may indicate ammonia underabundance. Almost all objects with the signs of underabundance are among the most luminous IR sources in our sample. Most of the mapped cores are elongated with noticeable velocity gradients along the major axis. The most prominent example is S 255. S 87 has a two-component structure with 2 distinct velocity components which overlap partly spatially. In about half of the mapped sources the NH_3_ line widths increase near the peaks of the ammonia emission. The kinetic temperatures are centrally peaked. They reach 20-28K in the centre and drop to 15-20K at the edges of the ammonia emitting regions. In S 76 E a weak extended emission in the (1, 1) line at the velocity blue-shifted by ~5km/s relative to the core emission was detected. Hyperfine intensity anomalies in the (1, 1) transition were found in S 199 in addition to the known case of these anomalies in S 87.

418. Density distributions for mm-wave line ratios

Title:
Density distributions for mm-wave line ratios
Short Name:
J/ApJ/835/217
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We explore the use of mm-wave emission line ratios to trace molecular gas density when observations integrate over a wide range of volume densities within a single telescope beam. For observations targeting external galaxies, this case is unavoidable. Using a framework similar to that of Krumholz & Thompson (2007ApJ...669..289K), we model emission for a set of common extragalactic lines from lognormal and power law density distributions. We consider the median density of gas that produces emission and the ability to predict density variations from observed line ratios. We emphasize line ratio variations because these do not require us to know the absolute abundance of our tracers. Patterns of line ratio variations have the potential to illuminate the high-end shape of the density distribution, and to capture changes in the dense gas fraction and median volume density. Our results with and without a high-density power law tail differ appreciably; we highlight better knowledge of the probability density function (PDF) shape as an important area. We also show the implications of sub-beam density distributions for isotopologue studies targeting dense gas tracers. Differential excitation often implies a significant correction to the naive case. We provide tabulated versions of many of our results, which can be used to interpret changes in mm-wave line ratios in terms of adjustments to the underlying density distributions.
419. Detectability of radio emission from exoplanets

Detectability of radio emission from exoplanets
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/478/1763
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Like the magnetized planets in our Solar system, magnetized exoplanets should emit strongly at radio wavelengths. Radio emission directly traces the planetary magnetic fields and radio detections can place constraints on the physical parameters of these features. Large comparative studies of predicted radio emission characteristics for the known population of exoplanets help to identify what physical parameters could be the key for producing bright, observable radio emission. Since the last comparative study, many thousands of exoplanets have been discovered. We report new estimates for the radio flux densities and maximum emission frequencies for the current population of known exoplanets orbiting pre-main-sequence and main-sequence stars with spectral types F-M. The set of exoplanets predicted to produce observable radio emission are Hot Jupiters orbiting young stars. The youth of these systems predicts strong stellar magnetic fields and/or dense winds, which are the key for producing bright, observable radio emission. We use a new all-sky circular polarization Murchison Widefield Array survey to place sensitive limits on 200MHz emission from exoplanets, with 3{sigma} values ranging from 4.0 to 45.0mJy. Using a targeted Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope observing campaign, we also report a 3{sigma} upper limit of 4.5mJy on the radio emission from V830 Tau b, the first Hot Jupiter to be discovered orbiting a pre-main-sequence star. Our limit is the first to be reported for the low-frequency radio emission from this source.
420. Detection of CH_3_COOCH_3_ in Orion

Title:
Detection of CH_3_COOCH_3_ in Orion
Short Name:
J/ApJ/770/L13
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We report on the discovery of methyl acetate, CH_3_COOCH_3_, through the detection of a large number of rotational lines from each one of the spin states of the molecule: AA species (A_1_ or A_2_), EA species (E_1_), AE species (E_2_), and EE species (E_3_ or E_4_). We also report, for the first time in space, the detection of the gauche conformer of ethyl formate, CH_3_CH_2_OCOH, in the same source. The trans conformer is also detected for the first time outside the Galactic center source SgrB2. From the derived velocity of the emission of methyl acetate, we conclude that it arises mainly from the compact ridge region with a total column density of (4.2+/-0.5)x10^15^/cm2. The derived rotational temperature is 150K. The column density for each conformer of ethyl formate, trans and gauche, is (4.5+/-1.0)x10^14^/cm2. Their abundance ratio indicates a kinetic temperature of 135K for the emitting gas and suggests that gas-phase reactions could participate efficiently in the formation of both conformers in addition to cold ice mantle reactions on the surface of dust grains.
