- The Arecibo PPS Survey. I. Harvesting ALFALFA
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/157/81
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We report a multi-objective campaign of targeted 21 cm H I line observations of sources selected from the Arecibo Legacy Fast Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFALFA) survey and galaxies identified by their morphological and photometric properties in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The aims of this program have been (1) to confirm the reality of some ALFALFA sources whose enigmatic nature suggest additional multiwavelength observations; (2) to probe the low signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) regime, below the ALFALFA reliability limit; and (3) to explore the feasibility of using optical morphology, color, and surface brightness to identify gas-rich objects in the region of the Pisces-Perseus Supercluster (PPS) whose H I fluxes are below the ALFALFA sensitivity limit at that distance. As expected, the reliability of ALFALFA detections depends strongly on the S/N of the H I line signal and its coincidence with a probable stellar counterpart identified by its optical properties, suggestive of ongoing star formation. The identification of low-mass, star-forming populations enables targeted H I line observations to detect galaxies with H I line fluxes below the ALFALFA sensitivity limits in fixed local volumes (D<100 Mpc). The method explored here serves as the basis for extending the sample of gas-bearing objects as part of the ongoing Arecibo Pisces-Perseus Supercluster Survey (APPSS).

- Description:
- Ten years after the publication of the previous release, we present a new edition of the Asiago Supernova Catalogue updated to December 31, 1998 and containing data for 1447 supernovae and their parent galaxies. In addition to the list of the data for a large number of new SNe, we made an effort to search the literature for new information on past SNe as well. We also tried to update and homogenize the data for the parent galaxies. This catalogue supersedes the previous version <II/159>

- The Asteroseismic Target List (ATL) for TESS
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/241/12
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the target list of solar-type stars to be observed in short-cadence (2 minute) for asteroseismology by the NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) during its 2 year nominal survey mission. The solar-like Asteroseismic Target List (ATL) is comprised of bright, cool main-sequence and subgiant stars and forms part of the larger target list of the TESS Asteroseismic Science Consortium. The ATL uses the Gaia Data Release 2 and the Extended Hipparcos Compilation (XHIP) to derive fundamental stellar properties, to calculate detection probabilities, and to produce a rank- ordered target list. We provide a detailed description of how the ATL was produced and calculate expected yields for solar-like oscillators based on the nominal photometric performance by TESS. We also provide a publicly available source code that can be used to reproduce the ATL, thereby enabling comparisons of asteroseismic results from TESS with predictions from synthetic stellar populations.

- The AstraLux Large M-dwarf Survey
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/754/44
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- These tables contain the results from a multiplicity survey of 701 M-type and 60 K-type stars (among which 182 new and 37 previously known companions were detected in 205 systems) using the Lucky Imaging cameras AstraLux Norte at the Calar Alto 2.2m and AstraLux Sur at the ESO NTT. Most of the targets have been observed during two or more epochs, and could be confirmed as physical companions through common proper motion, often with orbital motion being confirmed in addition. One table lists general properties of all the stars in the sample, another the observational parameters of each confirmed or suspected binary, a third lists the derived physical parameters of each confirmed or suspected binary, the fourth lists astrometric data points of all binary candidates for which multiple epochs have been collected (also including literature measurements for previously resolved binaries) and a final table lists observational properties of confirmed or suspected background stars.

- The BAaDE SiO maser survey at 86GHz with ALMA
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/244/25
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We report on the first 1432 sources observed using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, from the Bulge Asymmetries and Dynamical Evolution survey, which aims to obtain tens of thousands of line-of-sight velocities from SiO masers in Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars in the Milky Way. A 71% detection rate of 86GHz SiO masers is obtained from the infrared color-selected sample and increases to 80% when considering the likely oxygen-rich stars using Midcourse Space Experiment colors isolated in a region where [D]-[E]<=1.38. Based on Galactic distributions, the presence of extended CS emission, and likely kinematic associations, the population of sources with [D]-[E]>1.38 probably consists of young stellar objects, or alternatively, of planetary nebulae. For the SiO detections, we examined whether individual SiO transitions provide comparable stellar line-of-sight velocities and found that any SiO transition is suitable for determining a stellar AGB line-of-sight velocity. Finally, we discuss the relative SiO detection rates and line strengths in the context of current pumping models.

- The band-merged unWISE Catalog
- Short Name:
- II/363
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the unWISE Catalog, containing the positions and fluxes of roughly 2 billion objects observed by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) over the full sky. The unWISE Catalog has two advantages over the existing WISE catalog (AllWISE): first, it is based on significantly deeper imaging, and second, it features improved modeling of crowded regions. The deeper imaging used in the unWISE Catalog comes from the coaddition of all publicly available 3-5um WISE imaging, including that from the ongoing NEOWISE-reactivation mission, thereby increasing the total exposure time by a factor of 5 relative to AllWISE. At these depths, even at high Galactic latitudes, many sources are blended with their neighbors; accordingly, the unWISE analysis simultaneously fits thousands of sources to obtain accurate photometry. Our new catalog detects sources roughly 0.7mag fainter than the AllWISE catalog at 5{sigma}, and more accurately models millions of faint sources in the Galactic plane, enabling a wealth of Galactic and extragalactic science. In particular, relative to AllWISE, unWISE doubles the number of galaxies detected between redshifts 0 and 1 and triples the number between redshifts 1 and 2, cataloging more than half a billion galaxies over the whole sky.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the results of a 2-10keV BeppoSAX survey based on 140 high galactic latitude MECS fields, 12 of which are deep exposures of ``blank'' parts of the sky. The limiting sensitivity is 5x10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s where about 25% of the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB) is resolved into discrete sources. The logN-logS function, built with a statistically complete sample of 177 sources, is steep and in good agreement with the counts derived from ASCA surveys.

- The BGPS. X. Dense molecular gas
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/209/2
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS) is a 1.1 mm continuum survey of dense clumps of dust throughout the Galaxy covering 170deg^2^. We present spectroscopic observations using the Heinrich Hertz Submillimeter Telescope of the dense gas tracers, HCO^+^ and N_2_H^+^3-2, for all 6194 sources in the BGPS v1.0.1 catalog between 7.5{deg}<=l<=194{deg}. This is the largest targeted spectroscopic survey of dense molecular gas in the Milky Way to date. We find unique velocities for 3126 (50.5%) of the BGPS v1.0.1 sources observed. Strong N_2_H^+^ 3-2 emission (T_mb_>0.5K) without HCO^+^ 3-2 emission does not occur in this catalog. We characterize the properties of the dense molecular gas emission toward the entire sample. HCO^+^ is very sub-thermally populated and the 3-2 transitions are optically thick toward most BGPS clumps. The median observed line width is 3.3 km/s consistent with supersonic turbulence within BGPS clumps. We find strong correlations between dense molecular gas integrated intensities and 1.1 mm peak flux and the gas kinetic temperature derived from previously published NH_3_observations. These intensity correlations are driven by the sensitivity of the 3-2 transitions to excitation conditions rather than by variations in molecular column density or abundance. We identify a subset of 113 sources with stronger N_2_H^+^ than HCO^+^ integrated intensity, but we find no correlations between the N_2_H^+^/HCO^+^ ratio and 1.1 mm continuum flux density, gas kinetic temperature, or line width. Self-absorbed profiles are rare (1.3%).

- The Blanco Cosmology Survey (BCS)
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/757/83
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The Blanco Cosmology Survey (BCS) is a 60 night imaging survey of ~80deg^2^ of the southern sky located in two fields: (5hr,-55{deg}) and (23hr,-55{deg}). The survey was carried out between 2005 and 2008 in griz bands with the Mosaic2 imager on the Blanco 4m telescope. The primary aim of the BCS survey is to provide the data required to optically confirm and measure photometric redshifts for Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect selected galaxy clusters from the South Pole Telescope and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. We process and calibrate the BCS data, carrying out point-spread function-corrected model-fitting photometry for all detected objects. The median 10{sigma} galaxy (point-source) depths over the survey in griz are approximately 23.3 (23.9), 23.4 (24.0), 23.0 (23.6), and 21.3 (22.1), respectively. The astrometric accuracy relative to the USNO-B survey is ~45mas. We calibrate our absolute photometry using the stellar locus in grizJ bands, and thus our absolute photometric scale derives from the Two Micron All Sky Survey, which has ~2% accuracy. The scatter of stars about the stellar locus indicates a systematic floor in the relative stellar photometric scatter in griz that is ~1.9%, ~2.2%, ~2.7%, and ~2.7%, respectively. A simple cut in the AstrOmatic star-galaxy classifier spread_ model produces a star sample with good spatial uniformity. We use the resulting photometric catalogs to calibrate photometric redshifts for the survey and demonstrate scatter {delta}z/(1+z)=0.054 with an outlier fraction {eta}<5% to z~1. We highlight some selected science results to date and provide a full description of the released data products.

- The Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS). V.
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the results of observations of 1882 sources in the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS) at 1.1mm with the 10m Henrich Hertz Telescope simultaneously in HCO^+^J=3-2 and N_2_H^+^J=3-2. We detect 77% of these sources in HCO^+^ and 51% in N_2_H^+^ at greater than 3{sigma}. We find a strong correlation between the integrated intensity of both dense gas tracers and the 1.1mm dust emission of BGPS sources. We determine kinematic distances for 529 sources (440 in the first quadrant breaking the distance ambiguity and 89 in the second quadrant). We derive the size, mass, and average density for this subset of clumps. The median size of BGPS clumps is 0.75pc with a median mass of 330M_{sun}_ (assuming T_Dust_=20K). BGPS clumps represent a wide range of objects (from dense cores to more diffuse clumps) and are typically characterized by larger sizes and lower densities than previously published surveys of high-mass star-forming regions.
