- Description:
- We present H I 21-cm line observations of 543 galaxies at low galactic latitude in the Galactic Anticenter region of the Zone of Avoidance (4h<={alpha}<=8h, 0{deg}=<{delta}=<37{deg}). The sample comprises 147 catalogued objects (from UGC, CGCG, MCG, and IRAS) still missing a redshift measurement and a list of 369 objects selected from an extensive optical compilation of galaxy candidates in this area. The spectra were acquired using the 305-m Arecibo telescope and cover a velocity range from -350 to +13800km/s at a resolution of about 16km/s. 196 galaxies were detected,59 of the catalogued ones and 137 from the optical compilation. The H I derived properties are presented, as is a discussion regarding the redshift distribution in this region. Our data seem to be consistent with a link across the Zone of Avoidance between the Pisces-Perseus supercluster and Abell 569.

- Description:
- The HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS) Catalogue forms the largest uniform catalogue of HI sources compiled to date, with 4315 sources identified purely by their HI content. The catalogue data comprise the southern region DE<+2{deg} of HIPASS, the first blind HI survey to cover the entire southern sky. RMS noise for this survey is 13mJy/beam and the velocity range is -1280 to 12700km/s. Data search, verification and parametrization methods are discussed along with a description of measured quantities. Full catalogue data is made available to the astronomical community including positions, velocities, velocity widths, integrated fluxes and peak flux densities. Also available are on-sky moment maps, position- velocity moment maps and spectra of catalogue sources. A number of local large-scale features are observed in the space distribution of sources including the Super-Galactic plane and the Local Void. Notably, large-scale structure is seen at low Galactic latitudes, a region normally obscured at optical wavelengths.

- Description:
- Measurement of the Galactic neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) column density, NHI, and brightness temperatures, Tb, is of high scientific value for a broad range of astrophysical disciplines. In the past two decades, one of the most-used legacy HI datasets has been the Leiden/Argentine/Bonn Survey (LAB). We release the HI 4-pi survey (HI4PI), an all-sky database of Galactic HI, which supersedes the LAB survey. The HI4PI survey is based on data from the recently completed first coverage of the Effelsberg-Bonn HI Survey (EBHIS) and from the third revision of the Galactic All-Sky Survey (GASS). EBHIS and GASS share similar angular resolution and match well in sensitivity. Combining both, they are ideally suited to be a successor to LAB. The new HI4PI survey outperforms the LAB in angular resolution (16.1', FWHM) and sensitivity (43mK RMS). Moreover, it has full spatial sampling and thus overcomes a major issue of LAB, which severely undersamples the sky. We publish all-sky column density maps of the neutral atomic hydrogen in the Milky Way, along with full spectroscopic data, in several map projections including HEALPix.

- Description:
- The Transit Ephemeris Refinement and Monitoring Survey is a project that aims to detect transits of intermediate-long period planets by refining orbital parameters of the known radial velocity planets using additional data from ground-based telescopes, calculating a revised transit ephemeris for the planet, then monitoring the planet host star during the predicted transit window. Here we present the results from three systems that had high probabilities of transiting planets: HD9446b and c, HD43691b, and HD179079b. We provide new radial velocity (RV) measurements that are then used to improve the orbital solution for the known planets. We search the RV data for indications of additional planets in orbit and find that HD9446 shows a strong linear trend of 4.8{sigma}. Using the newly refined planet orbital solutions, which include a new best-fit solution for the orbital period of HD9446c, and an improved transit ephemerides, we found no evidence of transiting planets in the photometry for each system. Transits of HD9446b can be ruled out completely and transits HD9446c and HD43691b can be ruled out for impact parameters up to b=0.5778 and b=0.898, respectively, due to gaps in the photometry. A transit of HD179079b cannot be ruled out, however, due to the relatively small size of this planet compared to the large star and thus low signal to noise. We determine properties of the three host stars through spectroscopic analysis and find through photometric analysis that HD9446 exhibits periodic variability.

- Description:
- We present the discovery of Kepler-129d (P_d_=7.2_-0.3_^+0.4^yr, m_sini_d__=8.3_-0.7_^+1.1^M_Jup_, e_d_=0.15_-0.05_^+0.07^) based on six years of radial-velocity observations from Keck/HIRES. Kepler-129 also hosts two transiting sub-Neptunes: Kepler-129b (P_b_= 15.79days, r_b_=2.40{+/-}0.04R{Earth}) and Kepler-129c (P_c_=82.20days, r_c_=2.52{+/-}0.07R{Earth}) for which we measure masses of m_b_<20M{Earth} and m_c_=43_-12_^+13^M{Earth}. Kepler-129 is a hierarchical system consisting of two tightly packed inner planets and a massive external companion. In such a system, two inner planets precess around the orbital normal of the outer companion, causing their inclinations to oscillate with time. Based on an asteroseismic analysis of Kepler data, we find tentative evidence that Kepler-129b and c are misaligned with stellar spin axis by >~38{deg}, which could be torqued by Kepler-129 d if it is inclined by >~19{deg} relative to inner planets. Using N-body simulations, we provide additional constraints on the mutual inclination between Kepler-129d and inner planets by estimating the fraction of time during which two inner planets both transit. The probability that two planets both transit decreases as their misalignment with Kepler-129d increases. We also find a more massive Kepler-129c enables the two inner planets to become strongly coupled and more resistant to perturbations from Kepler-129d. The unusually high mass of Kepler-129c provides a valuable benchmark for both planetary dynamics and interior structure, since the best-fit mass is consistent with this 2.5R{Earth} planet having a rocky surface.

- HI-selected-Lyman limit system metallicities
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/833/270
- Date:

- Description:
- We measured metallicities for 33 z=3.4-4.2 absorption line systems drawn from a sample of HI-selected-Lyman limit systems (LLSs) identified in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) quasar spectra and stratified based on metal line features. We obtained higher-resolution spectra with the Keck Echellette Spectrograph and Imager, selecting targets according to our stratification scheme in an effort to fully sample the LLS population metallicity distribution. We established a plausible range of HI column densities and measured column densities (or limits) for ions of carbon, silicon, and aluminum, finding ionization-corrected metallicities or upper limits. Interestingly, our ionization models were better constrained with enhanced {alpha}-to-aluminum abundances, with a median abundance ratio of [{alpha}/Al]=0.3. Measured metallicities were generally low, ranging from [M/H]=-3 to -1.68, with even lower metallicities likely for some systems with upper limits. Using survival statistics to incorporate limits, we constructed the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for LLS metallicities. Recent models of galaxy evolution propose that galaxies replenish their gas from the low-metallicity intergalactic medium (IGM) via high-density HI "flows" and eject enriched interstellar gas via outflows. Thus, there has been some expectation that LLSs at the peak of cosmic star formation (z~3) might have a bimodal metallicity distribution. We modeled our CDF as a mix of two Gaussian distributions, one reflecting the metallicity of the IGM and the other representative of the interstellar medium of star-forming galaxies. This bimodal distribution yielded a poor fit. A single Gaussian distribution better represented the sample with a low mean metallicity of [M/H]~-2.5.

- Description:
- We present the first results from our KODIAQ Z survey aimed at determining the metallicity distribution and physical properties of the z>~2 partial and full Lyman limit systems (pLLSs and LLSs; 16.2<=logN_HI_<19), which are probed of the interface regions between the intergalactic medium (IGM) and galaxies. We study 31 HI-selected pLLSs and LLSs at 2.3<z<3.3 observed with Keck/HIRES in absorption against background QSOs. We compare the column densities of metal ions to HI and use photoionization models to assess the metallicity. The metallicity distribution of the pLLSs/LLSs at 2.3<z<3.3 is consistent with a unimodal distribution peaking at [X/H]~-2. The metallicity distribution of these absorbers therefore evolves markedly with z since at z<~1 it is bimodal with peaks at [X/H]~-1.8 and -0.3. There is a substantial fraction (25%-41%) of pLLSs/LLSs with metallicities well below those of damped Ly{alpha} absorbers (DLAs) at any studied z from z<~1 to z~2-4, implying reservoirs of metal-poor, cool, dense gas in the IGM/galaxy interface at all z. However, the gas probed by pLLSs and LLSs is rarely pristine, with a fraction of 3%-18% for pLLSs/LLSs with [X/H]<=-3. We find C/{alpha} enhancement in several pLLSs and LLSs in the metallicity range -2<~[X/H]<~-0.5, where C/{alpha} is 2-5 times larger than observed in Galactic metal-poor stars or high-redshift DLAs at similar metallicities. This is likely caused by preferential ejection of carbon from metal-poor galaxies into their surroundings.

- Description:
- We present a homogeneous compilation of HI spectral parameters extracted from global 21cm line spectra for some 9000 galaxies in the local universe (heliocentric velocity -200<V_{sun}_<28,000km/s) obtained with a variety of large single-dish radio telescopes but reanalyzed using a single set of parameter extraction algorithms. Corrections to the observed HI line flux for source extent and pointing offsets and to the HI line widths for instrumental broadening and smoothing are applied according to model estimates to produce a homogenous catalog of derived properties with quantitative error estimates. Where the redshift is available from optical studies, we also provide flux measurements for an additional 156 galaxies classified as marginal HI detections and rms noise limits for 494 galaxies classified as nondetections.

- Description:
- Extremely metal-poor (XMP) galaxies are chemically, and possibly dynamically, primordial objects in the local Universe. Our objective is to characterize the HI content of the XMP galaxies as a class, using as a reference the list of 140 known local XMPs compiled by Morales-Luis et al. (2011, Cat. J/ApJ/743/77). We have observed 29 XMPs, which had not been observed before at 21 cm, using the Effelsberg radio telescope. This information was complemented with Hi data published in literature for a further 53 XMPs. In addition, optical data from the literature provided morphologies, stellar masses, star-formation rates and metallicities.
