- Description:
- The origin of the correlations between mass, morphology, quenched fraction, and formation history in galaxies is difficult to define, primarily due to the uncertainties in galaxy star formation histories (SFHs). SFHs are better constrained for higher redshift galaxies, observed closer to their formation and quenching epochs. Here we use "nonparametric" SFHs and a nested sampling method to derive constraints on the formation and quenching timescales of quiescent galaxies at 0.7<z<2.5. We model deep HST grism spectroscopy and photometry from the CLEAR (CANDELS Ly{alpha} Emission at Reionization) survey. The galaxy formation redshifts, z50 (defined as the point where they had formed 50% of their stellar mass) range from z_50_~2 (shortly prior to the observed epoch) up to z_50_~5-8. We find that early formation redshifts are correlated with high stellar-mass surface densities, log{Sigma}_1_/(M_{sun}_kpc^-2^)>10.25, where {Sigma}_1_ is the stellar mass within 1pkpc (proper kpc). Quiescent galaxies with the highest stellar-mass surface density, log{Sigma}_1_/(M_{sun}_kpc^-2^)>10.25, show a minimum formation redshift: all such objects in our sample have z_50_>2.9. Quiescent galaxies with lower surface density, log{Sigma}_1_/(M_{sun}_kpc^-2^)=9.5-10.25, show a range of formation epochs (z_50_~1.5-8), implying these galaxies experienced a range of formation and assembly histories. We argue that the surface density threshold log{Sigma}_1_/(M_{sun}_kpc^-2^)>10.25 uniquely identifies galaxies that formed in the first few Gyr after the big bang, and we discuss the implications this has for galaxy formation models.

- Description:
- A total of total of 1071 B, V, Ic-band CCD frames are taken for three GCVS RR Lyr-type variables (CL Eri, CM Eri, and CN Eri), for which only coordinates were known. Observations were made with the 76-cm telescope of the South African Astronomical Observatory using an SBIG CCD ST-10XME. The inferred periods and light-curves confirm that CL Eri (P=0.644d), which was found to exhibit the Blazhko effect, and CN Eri (P=0.580d) are RR Lyr-type variables. CM Eri is most probably a Population-Il Cepheid with a period of 0.824d.

- Description:
- Megaparsec-scale radio sources in the form of halos and relics are often detected in dynamically disturbed galaxy clusters. Although they are associated with merger-induced turbulence and shocks, respectively, their formation is not fully understood. Aims. We aim to identify the mechanisms responsible for particle acceleration and magnetic field amplification in the halo and relics of the galaxy cluster ClG 0217+70. We observed ClG 0217+70 with LOFAR at 141MHz and with VLA at 1.5GHz, and we combined these observations with VLA 1.4GHz archival data to study the morphological and spectral properties of the diffuse sources.We added Chandra archival data to examine the thermal and non-thermal properties of the halo. Our LOFAR and VLA data confirm the presence of a giant radio halo in the cluster centre and multiple relics in the outskirts. The radio and X-ray emission from the halo are correlated, implying a tight relation between the thermal and non-thermal components. The diuse radio structure in the south-east, with a projected size of 3.5Mpc, is the most extended radio relic detected to date. The spectral index across the relic width steepens towards the cluster centre, suggesting electron ageing in the post-shock regions. The shock Mach numbers for the relics derived from the spectral index map range between 2.0 and 3.2. However, the integrated spectral indices lead to increasingly high Mach numbers for the relics farther from the cluster centre. This discrepancy could be because the relation between injection and integrated spectra does not hold for distant shocks, suggesting that the cooling time for the radioemitting electrons is longer than the crossing time of the shocks. The variations in the surface brightness of the relics and the low Mach numbers imply that the radio-emitting electrons are re-accelerated from fossil plasma that could originate in active galactic nuclei.

- Cl0939+4713 H{alpha} z~0.4 star-forming galaxies

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Cluster star-forming galaxies are found to have an excess of far-infrared emission relative to H{alpha}, when compared to those in the field, which could be caused by intense active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity, dust and/or declining star formation histories. Here we present spectroscopic observations of H{alpha} emitters in the Cl 0939+4713 (Abell 851) super-cluster at z=0.41, using AF2+ WYFFOS on the William Herschel Telescope. We measure [OII], H{beta}, [OIII], H{alpha} and [NII] for a sample of 119 H{alpha} emitters in and around the cluster. We find that 17+/-5 per cent of the H{alpha} emitters are AGN, irrespective of environment. For star-forming galaxies, we obtain Balmer decrements, metallicities and ionization parameters with different methods, individually and by stacking. We find a strong mass-metallicity relation at all environments, with no significant dependence on environment. The ionization parameter declines with increasing stellar mass for low-mass galaxies. H{alpha} emitters residing in intermediate environments show the highest ionization parameters (along with high [OIII]/H{alpha} and high [OIII]/[OII] line ratios, typically twice as large as in the highest and lowest densities), which decline with increasing environmental density. Dust extinction (A_H{alpha}_) correlates strongly with stellar mass, but also with environmental density. Star-forming galaxies in the densest environments are found to be significantly dustier (A_H{alpha}_~=1.5-1.6) than those residing in the lowest density environments (A_H{alpha}_~=0.6), deviating significantly from what would be predicted given their stellar masses.

- Description:
- In this paper we present new photometric and radial velocity data for the PMS {delta} Sct star H254, member of the young cluster IC 348. Photometric V, R_C_, I_C_ light curves were obtained at the Loiano and Asiago telescopes. The radial velocity data were acquired by means of the SARG@Telescopio Nazionale Galileo spectrograph. High-resolution spectroscopy allowed us to derive precise stellar parameters and the chemical composition of the star, obtaining Teff=6750+/-150K; logg=14.1+/-0.4dex and [Fe/H]=-0.07+/-0.12dex. Photometric and spectroscopic data were used to estimate the total absorption in the V band A_V_=2.06+/-0.05mag, in agreement with previous estimates. We adopted the technique of the difference in phase and amplitude between different photometric bands and radial velocities to verify that H254 is (definitely) pulsating in a radial mode. This occurrence allowed us to apply the CORS realization of the Baade-Wesselink method to obtain a value for the linear radius of H254 equal to 3.3+/-0.7R_{sun}_. This result was used in conjunction with photometry and effective temperature to derive a distance estimate of 273+/-23pc for H254, and, in turn for IC 348, the host cluster. This value is in agreement within the errors with the results derived from several past determinations and the evaluation obtained through the Hipparcos} parallaxes. Finally, we derived the luminosity of H254 and studied its position in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. From this analysis it results that this {delta} Scuti occupies a position close to the red edge of the instability strip, pulsates in the fundamental mode, has a mass of about 2.2M_{sun}_ and an age of 5+/-1Myr, older than previous estimates.

- Description:
- We present a detailed morphological analysis of the galaxy populations in the first two clusters to be completed in an extensive observational study of nine high-redshift clusters of galaxies. These two clusters, Cl 0023+0423 and Cl 1604+4304, are at redshifts of z=0.84 and z=0.90, respectively. The morphological studies are based on high angular resolution imagery taken with Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. These data are combined with deep, ground-based BVRI photometry and spectra taken with the Keck 10m telescopes. The morphological classifications presented in this paper consist of two parts. First, we provide a quantitative description of the structural properties of ~600 galaxies per cluster field using the Medium Deep Survey automated data reduction and object classification software. This analysis includes the galaxy position, photometry, and best-fit bulge+disk model. Second, for the brightest subsample of ~200 galaxies per cluster field, we provide a more detailed morphological description through a visual classification based on the revised Hubble classification scheme.

- Description:
- We present an extensive photometric and spectroscopic study of two high-redshift clusters of galaxies based on data obtained from the Keck 10m telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope. The clusters Cl 0023+0423 (z=0.84) and Cl 1604+4304 (z=0.90) are part of a multiwavelength program of Oke, Postman & Lubin (1998AJ....116..549O, Paper I) to study nine candidate clusters at z>~0.6. Based on these observations, we study in detail both the field and cluster populations. From the confirmed cluster members, we find that Cl 0023+0423 actually consists of two components separated by ~2900km/s. A kinematic analysis indicates that the two components are a poor cluster with ~3x10^14^M_{sun}_ and a less massive group with ~10^13^M_{sun}_. Cl 1604+4304 is a centrally concentrated, rich cluster at z=0.8967 with a velocity dispersion of 1226km/s and a mass of ~3x10^15^M_{sun}_.

- Description:
- CCD photometric observations of the eclipsing contact binaries (EW type) V3 and V4 of the cluster NGC 2539 were made in the B and V bands using the 2m telescope at the IUCAA-Girawali Observatory in India. The light curves have been obtained and using the Wilson-Devinney code, the combined photometric solutions have been presented here. The photometric solutions have revealed that both V3 and V4 are W-type contact binary systems with mass ratios of 0.806 and 1.001 respectively. Revised orbital periods, absolute masses and radii of the components have been obtained.

- Description:
- We present spectroscopic and photometric observations of the eclipsing binary V32 located in the central field of the globular cluster NGC 6397. The variable is a single-line spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 9.8783-days and a large eccentricity of e=0.32.

- Description:
- 3C295 is a bright, compact steep spectrum source with a well-studied integrated radio spectral energy distribution (SED) from 132MHz to 15GHz. However, spatially resolved spectral studies have been limited due to a lack of high resolution images at low radio frequencies. These frequencies are crucial for measuring absorption processes, and anchoring the overall spectral modelling of the radio SED. In this paper, we use International LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR) Telescope (ILT) observations of 3C295 to study its spatially resolved spectral properties with sub-arcsecond resolution at 132MHz. Combining our new 132MHz observation with archival data at 1.6GHz, 4.8GHz, and 15GHz, we are able to carryout a resolved radio spectral analysis. The spectral properties of the hotspots provides evidence for low frequency flattening. In contrast, the spectral shape across the lobes is consistent with a Jaffe-Perola spectral ageing model. Usingthe integrated spectral information for each component, we then fitted low-frequency absorption models to the hotspots,finding that both free-free absorption and synchrotron self-absorption models provide a better fit to the data than a standard power law. Although we can say there is low-frequency absorption present in the hot spots of 3C295, future observations with the Low Band Antenna of the ILT at 55MHz may allow us to distinguish the type of absorption.
