- Description:
- A catalog of class I methanol masers discovered so far in the Southern and Northern hemispheres is presented. The catalog contains 160 sources. A statistical analysis shows that, within 2' of the telescope pointing (which corresponds approximately to the field of view of single antennas used in search surveys), 50% of class I methanol masers are associated with objects characteristic of active starforming regions: IRAS sources, ultracompact HII regions, and dense gas dust clouds, as well as OH and H2O interstellar masers. At the same time, bipolar out flows (which could play an active part in pumping the methanol masers) are associated with fewer than 25% of class I methanol masers. In 72% of cases, class I methanol masers are associated with class II methanol maser sources. These results suggest that methanol maser condensations are more appropriately classified by the transition type (that is, the pumping mechanism) than their association with other astronomical objects.

- Description:
- We present a catalog of 799 clusters of galaxies in the redshift range z_est_=0.05-0.3 selected from ~400deg^2^ of early Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) commissioning data along the celestial equator. The catalog is based on merging two independent selection methods - a color-magnitude red-sequence maxBCG technique (B), and a hybrid matched filter method (H). The BH catalog includes clusters with richness {Lambda}>=40 (matched filter) and Ngal>=13 (maxBCG), corresponding to typical velocity dispersion of {sigma}_v_>~400km/s and mass (within 0.6h^-1^Mpc radius) >~5x10^13^h^-1^M_{sun}_. This threshold is below Abell richness class 0 clusters. The average space density of these clusters is 2x10^-5^h^3^/Mpc^3^. All NORAS (<J/ApJS/129/435>) X-ray clusters and 53 of the 58 Abell clusters in the survey region are detected in the catalog; the five additional Abell clusters are detected below the BH catalog cuts. The cluster richness function is determined and found to exhibit a steeply decreasing cluster abundance with increasing richness. We derive observational scaling relations between cluster richness and observed cluster luminosity and cluster velocity dispersion; these scaling relations provide important physical calibrations for the clusters. The catalog can be used for studies of individual clusters, for comparisons with other sources such as X-ray clusters and active galactic nuclei, and, with proper correction for the relevant selection functions, also for statistical analyses of clusters.

- Description:
- Using high-resolution spectra obtained with the Hamilton echelle spectrograph at Lick Observatory, we have constructed a catalog of emission lines observed in comets Swift-Tuttle and Brorsen-Metcalf. The spectra cover the range between 3800A and 9900A with a spectral resolution of {lambda}/{DELTA}{lambda}~42000. In the spectra, we catalog 2997 emission lines of which we identify 2438. We find cometary lines due to H, O, C2, CN, NH2, C3, H2O+, CH, and CH+. We list 559 unidentified lines compiled from the two spectra and comment on possibilities for their origins.

- Description:
- A catalogue of light curve solutions of contact binary stars has been compiled. It contains the results of 159 light curve solutions. Properties of contact binary stars were studied by using the catalogue data. As it is well known since Lucy's (1968ApJ...151.1123L, 1968ApJ...153..877L) and Mochnacki's (1981ApJ...245..650M) works, primary components transfer their own energy to the secondary star via the common envelope around the two stars. This transfer was parameterized by a transfer parameter (ratio of the observed and intrinsic luminosities of the primary star). We proved that this transfer parameter is a simple function of the mass and luminosity ratio. This newly found relation is valid for all systems except H type systems which have a different relation. We introduced a new type of contact binary stars: H subtype systems which have a large mass ratio (q>0.72). These systems show highly different behaviour on the luminosity ratio - transfer parameter diagram from other systems and according to our results the energy transfer rate is less efficient in them than in other type of contact binary stars.

- Catalog of cosmic voids from the SDSS-DR7

- Description:
- Using a large sample of galaxies from the the seventh data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-DR7), we have analyzed the alignment of disk galaxies around cosmic voids. We have constructed a complete sample of cosmic voids (devoid of galaxies brighter than M_r_-5log h=-20.17) with radii larger than 10h^-1^Mpc up to redshift 0.12. Disk galaxies in shells around these voids have been used to look for particular alignments between the angular momentum of the galaxies and the radial direction of the voids. We find that disk galaxies around voids larger than >~15h^-1^Mpc within distances not much larger than 5h^-1^Mpc from the surface of the voids present a significant tendency to have their angular momenta aligned with the void's radial direction with a significance >~98.8% against the null hypothesis. The strength of this alignment is dependent on the void's radius and for voids with a radius >~15h^-1^Mpc the distribution of the orientation of the galaxies is compatible with a random distribution. Finally, we find that this trend observed in the alignment of galaxies is similar to the one observed for the minor axis of dark matter halos around cosmic voids found in cosmological simulations, suggesting a possible link in the evolution of both components.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a catalog of Chandra Source Catalog 2.0 sources cross-matched with SDSS DR15/16 counterparts. The crossmatch is performed with a Bayesian method developed by Budavari & Szalay (2008ApJ...679..301B) as implemented and extended by A. Rots (2020, https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/XmatchQuickSummary.pdf) that takes into account local source density as well as both error ellipses and raw-size ellipses of the sources (for more details, see https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/XmatchQuickSummary.pdf). CSC2.0 sources are extracted from the CSC2.0 "Master Source" table (https://cxc.harvard.edu/csc/columns/master_alpha.html), while SDSS DR15 are from the "Star" or "Galaxy" views. For each crossmatched source pair the match probability, match type and match grade are provided. In addition, ambiguous matches are explicitly called out and provided in separate published tables. The lists of ambiguous matches can be found in the following files: https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/CSC2-SDSSDR15SG_AmbiguousXmatch.txt https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/SDSSDR15SG-CSC2_AmbiguousXmatch.txt and a simple readme file is located at: https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/AmbiguousXmatch.readme

- Catalog of dense cores in Aquila from Herschel
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/584/A91
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present and discuss the results of the Herschel Gould Belt survey (HGBS) observations in an ~11deg^2^ area of the Aquila molecular cloud complex at d~260pc, imaged with the SPIRE and PACS photometric cameras in parallel mode from 70-micron to 500-micron. Using the multi-scale, multi-wavelength source extraction algorithm getsources, we identify a complete sample of starless dense cores and embedded (Class 0-I) protostars in this region, and analyze their global properties and spatial distributions. We find a total of 651 starless cores, ~60% +/-10% of which are gravitationally bound prestellar cores, and they will likely form stars in the future. We also detect 58 protostellar cores. The core mass function (CMF) derived for the large population of prestellar cores is very similar in shape to the stellar initial mass function (IMF), confirming earlier findings on a much stronger statistical basis and supporting the view that there is a close physical link between the stellar IMF and the prestellar CMF. The global shift in mass scale observed between the CMF and the IMF is consistent with a typical star formation efficiency of ~40% at the level of an individual core. By comparing the numbers of starless cores in various density bins to the number of young stellar objects (YSOs), we estimate that the lifetime of prestellar cores is ~1Myr, which is typically ~4 times longer than the core free-fall time, and that it decreases with average core density. We find a strong correlation between the spatial distribution of prestellar cores and the densest filaments observed in the Aquila complex. About 90% of the Herschel-identified prestellar cores are located above a background column density corresponding to A_V_~7, and ~75% of them lie within filamentary structures with supercritical masses per unit length >~16M_{sun}_/pc. These findings support a picture wherein the cores making up the peak of the CMF (and probably responsible for the base of the IMF) result primarily from the gravitational fragmentation of marginally supercritical filaments. Given that filaments appear to dominate the mass budget of dense gas at A_V_>7, our findings also suggest that the physics of prestellar core formation within filaments is responsible for a characteristic "efficiency" SFR/M_dense_~5+/-2x10^-8^yr^-1^ for the star formation process in dense gas.

- Description:
- Herschel observations of nearby clouds in the Gould Belt support a paradigm for low-mass star formation, starting with the generation of molecular filaments, followed by filament fragmentation, and the concentration of mass into self-gravitating prestellar cores. With the unique far-infrared and submillimeter continuum imaging capabilities of the Herschel Space observatory, the closeby (d=139pc) Ophiuchus cloud was mapped at five wavelengths from 70 microns to 500 microns with the aim of providing a complete census of dense cores in this region, including unbound starless cores, bound prestellar cores, and protostellar cores. Taking advantage of the high dynamic range and multi-wavelength nature of the Herschel data, we used the multi-scale decomposition algorithms getsources and getfilaments to identify a complete sample of dense cores and filaments in the cloud and study their properties. The densest clouds of the Ophiuchus complex, L1688 and L1689, which thus far are only indirectly described as filamentary regions owing to the spatial distribution of their young stellar objects (YSOs), are confirmed to be dominated by filamentary structures. The tight correlation observed between prestellar cores and filamentary structures in L1688 and L1689 supports the view that solar-type star formation occurs primarily in dense filaments. While the sub clouds of the complex show disparities, L1689 being less efficient than L1688 at forming stars when considering their total mass budgets, both sub clouds share almost the same prestellar core formation efficiency in dense molecular gas. We also find evidence in the Herschel data for a remarkable concentric geometrical configuration in L1688 which is dominated by up to three arc-like compression fronts and presumably created by shockwave events emanating from the Sco OB2 association, including the neighboring massive (O9V) star sigma Sco.
