- Description:
- We present a detailed study of the Orion B molecular cloud complex (d~400pc), which was imaged with the PACS and SPIRE photometric cameras at wavelengths from 70-micron to 500-micron as part of the Herschel Gould Belt survey (HGBS). We release new high-resolution maps of column density and dust temperature for the whole complex, derived in the same consistent manner as for other HGBS regions. In the filamentary subregions NGC2023 and 2024, NGC2068 and 2071, and L1622, a total of 1768 starless dense cores were identified based on Herschel data, 490-804 (~28-45%) of which are self-gravitating prestellar cores that will likely form stars in the future. A total of 76 protostellar dense cores were also found. The typical lifetime of the prestellar cores was estimated to be t_pre_^OrionB^=1.7(-0.6/+0.8)Myr. The prestellar core mass function (CMF) derived for the whole sample of prestellar cores peaks at ~0.5Msun (in dN/dlogM format) and is consistent with a power-law with logarithmic slope -1.27+/-0.24 at the high-mass end, compared to the Salpeter slope of -1.35. In the Orion B region, we confirm the existence of a transition in prestellar core formation efficiency (CFE) around a fiducial value A_V_^bg^~7mag in background visual extinction, which is similar to the trend observed with Herschel in other regions, such as the Aquila cloud. This is not a sharp threshold, however, but a smooth transition between a regime with very low prestellar CFE at A_V_^bg^<5 and a regime with higher, roughly constant CFE at A_V_^bg^>~10. The total mass in the form of prestellar cores represents only a modest fraction (~20%) of the dense molecular cloud gas above A_V_^bg^>~7mag. About 60-80% of the prestellar cores are closely associated with filaments, and this fraction increases up to >90% when a more complete sample of filamentary structures is considered. Interestingly, the median separation observed between nearest core neighbors corresponds to the typical inner filament width of ~0.1pc, which is commonly observed in nearby molecular clouds, including Orion B. Analysis of the CMF observed as a function of background cloud column density shows that the most massive prestellar cores are spatially segregated in the highest column density areas, and suggests that both higher- and lower-mass prestellar cores may form in denser filaments.

- Description:
- Distance measurements to molecular clouds are important but are often made separately for each cloud of interest, employing very different data and techniques. We present a large, homogeneous catalog of distances to molecular clouds, most of which are of unprecedented accuracy. We determine distances using optical photometry of stars along lines of sight toward these clouds, obtained from PanSTARRS-1. We simultaneously infer the reddenings and distances to these stars, tracking the full probability distribution function using a technique presented in Green et al. (2014ApJ...783..114G). We fit these star-by-star measurements using a simple dust screen model to find the distance to each cloud. We thus estimate the distances to almost all of the clouds in the Magnani et al. (1985ApJ...295..402M, MBM) catalog, as well as many other well-studied clouds, including Orion, Perseus, Taurus, Cepheus, Polaris, California, and Monoceros R2, avoiding only the inner Galaxy. Typical statistical uncertainties in the distances are 5%, though the systematic uncertainty stemming from the quality of our stellar models is about 10%. The resulting catalog is the largest catalog of accurate, directly measured distances to molecular clouds. Our distance estimates are generally consistent with available distance estimates from the literature, though in some cases the literature estimates are off by a factor of more than two.

- Description:
- In this paper we present an objectively defined catalog of 459 small, high-density groups of galaxies out to z~0.2 in a region of ~6260deg^2^ in the northern sky derived from the Digitized Second Palomar Observatory Sky Survey. Our catalog extends down to r=19.0 and has a median redshift of z_med_=0.12, making it complementary to Hickson's catalog (Cat. <VII/213>) for the nearby universe (z_med_=0.03).

- Description:
- A photographic survey for faint galaxies has been carried out with fine-grained photographic emulsions using the 1.2m Schmidt and 5m Hale telescopes, as well as the 4m Mayall telescope. A total of 418 clusters have been found with redshifts mostly in the range from 0.15 to 0.92. The survey was planned to minimize distance-dependent selection effects in the resulting catalog. In areas of sky where the deepest search was made, the sample is complete to about z=0.50; there are 11 clusters per square degree at this limit. At a redshift of 1.0 there should be 63 or 45 clusters per square degree depending on whether q_0_ is 0.0 or 0.5, provided there is no evolution.

- Description:
- We have compiled a catalog of disk galaxies that have a double nucleus, through systematic examination of existing catalogs and publications. The Catalog of Double Nucleus Disk Galaxies includes 107 objects, together with their basic data. The aim of the catalog is to provide a more systematic and homogeneous basis for the study of the relevance of galaxy interactions and minor mergers in the formation of these double nuclei. We have also investigated possible correlations between geometric and photometric parameters of the double nuclei and their host galaxies. The preliminary results indicate the presence of several significant correlations that should be considered in any theoretical scenario describing minor mergers and disk galaxy evolution

- Catalog of early-type contact binaries
- Short Name:
- V/120

- Description:
- For the first time the early type contact systems were identified as an individual class in M.A. Svechnikov's Catalogue [1] in 1969, which contains 8 systems of this type. The Catalogue of Coch R.H., Plavec M. and Wood F.B. [2] contains 37 systems of the early spectral type. According to Svechnikov's classification [3] a primary component (more massive and hotter) of a CE-system (contact system of early spectral class) has a spectral class earlier than F0-F2 and an orbital period of more than 0.5 day. Usually the spectral class of a primary is earlier than the spectral class of a secondary. Both components fill their Roche-lobes on 90-100%. The following Catalogue of Svechnikov M.A. and Bessonova L.A. [4] contains 38 CE-systems. In 1986 Bondarenko I.I. [5] published the Catalogue of the CE-stars, which contained 83 systems. Physical characteristics of the CE-stars presented in the list of catalogues abovementioned, were obtained by different authors by using different methods of calculation. We propose the Catalogue of the CE-systems with homogeneous absolute physical characteristics, that allows to define accurately general features of this class of binary stars. The comparing of physical characteristics of the CE-systems with other classes` characteristics of binary stars can show the possible evolutionary stages of the CE-systems. The foundation of absolute elements of the CE-systems are the photometric observations (on the whole, the latest multicolour photoelectric, in a few cases photographic and visual observations). The accuracy of modern photometric observations is high, and generally they are processed with the help of reliable computer methods both classical and synthetical methods). But reliable spectral observations (the ray speed curves) are very scarce, especially for both components). We have preferred the spectral class of a primary (usually it is more bright), supposing, that it's spectral class was defined accurately, and photometric and geometrical elements from light curves. All stars from our Catalogue were classified preliminarily as CE-stars by Svechnikov M.A., Istomin L.F. and Grehova O.A. [6]. We have supposed both components fill their Roche-lobes and by using the diagram (q-r[critical]) of Plavec-Kratochvile [7] mass ratio was obtained. The absolute elements were obtained by the approximated method of Svechnikov, which was modernized for CE-stars. Our Catalogue consist of three parts: photometric, geometrical and absolute elements of CE-systems. All stars were divided approximately into two groups: massive (m1>3 solar masses for primary) and less-massive stars (m1<3 solar masses for primary). A Catalogue has a Supplement.

- Description:
- Locating planets in circumstellar habitable zones (HZs) is a priority for many exoplanet surveys. Space-based and ground-based surveys alike require robust toolsets to aid in target selection and mission planning. We present the Catalog of Earth-Like Exoplanet Survey Targets (CELESTA), a database of HZs around 37000 nearby stars. We calculated stellar parameters, including effective temperatures, masses, and radii, and we quantified the orbital distances and periods corresponding to the circumstellar HZs. We gauged the accuracy of our predictions by contrasting CELESTA's computed parameters to observational data. We ascertain a potential return on investment by computing the number of HZs probed for a given survey duration. A versatile framework for extending the functionality of CELESTA into the future enables ongoing comparisons to new observations, and recalculations when updates to HZ models, stellar temperatures, or parallax data become available. We expect to upgrade and expand CELESTA using data from the Gaia mission as the data become available.

- Description:
- (from CDS Inf. Bull. 40, 31) The main task of the catalogue consists in a comprehensive collection of equivalent widths of the 217nm band derived from both spectrophotometric and filterphotometric measurements obtained with TD-1, OAO-2 and ANS satellites. These data concern reddened O, B stars with color excesses E(B-V) >= 0.02 mag. The extinction curve is approximated by the empirical formula introduced by Guertler et al. (1982AN....303..105G) e({lambda}) = A(i/{lambda} - 1/{lambda}o)^n^ + B + C {kappa}({lambda}) The relative errors amount to about {delta}A/A = +/- 0.10, {delta}B/B = +/- 0.02 and {delta}C/C = +/- 0.03.
