- Description:
- In this second paper of the catalogue series of galaxies behind the southern Milky Way, we report on the deep optical galaxy search in the Crux region (289{deg}<~l<~318{deg} and -10{deg}<~b<~10{deg}) and the Great Attractor region (316{deg}<~l<~338{deg} and -10{deg}<~b<~10{deg}). The galaxy catalogues are presented, a brief description of the galaxy search given, as well as a discussion on the distribution and characteristics of the uncovered galaxies. A total of 8183 galaxies with major diameters D>~0.2 arcmin were identified in this ~850 square degree area: 3759 galaxies in the Crux region and 4423 galaxies in the Great Attractor region. Of the 8183 galaxies, 229 (2.8%) were catalogued before in the optical (3 in radio) and 251 galaxies have a reliable (159), or likely (92) cross-identification in the IRAS Point Source Catalogue (3.1%). A number of prominent overdensities and filaments of galaxies are identified. They are not correlated with the Galactic foreground extinction and hence indicative of extragalactic large-scale structures. Redshifts obtained at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) for 518 of the newly catalogued galaxies in the Crux and Great Attractor regions (Fairall et al., 1998, Cat. <J/A+AS/127/463>; Woudt et al., 1999, Cat. <J/A+A/352/39>) confirm distinct voids and clusters in the area here surveyed. With this optical galaxy search, we have reduced the width of the optical `Zone of Avoidance' for galaxies with extinction-corrected diameters larger than 1.3' from extinction levels A_B>~1.0mag to A_B>~3.0mag: the remaining optical Zone of Avoidance is now limited by |b|<~3{deg} (see Fig. 16).

- Galaxies Chemical and photometric evolution models
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We summarize the updated set of multiphase chemical evolution models performed with 44 theoretical radial mass initial distributions and 10 possible values of efficiencies to form molecular clouds and stars. We present the results about the infall rate histories, the formation of the disk, and the evolution of the radial distributions of diffuse and molecular gas surface density, stellar profile, star formation rate surface density, and elemental abundances of C, N, O, and Fe, finding that the radial gradients for these elements begin steeper and flatten with increasing time or decreasing redshift, although the outer disks always show a certain flattening for all times. With the resulting star formation and enrichment histories, we calculate the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for each radial region by using the ones for single stellar populations resulting from the evolutive synthesis model POPSTAR. With these SEDs we may compute finally the broad band magnitudes and colors radial distributions in the Johnson and in the SLOAN/SDSS systems which are the main result of this work. We present the evolution of these brightness and color profiles with the redshift.

- Short Name:

- Description:
- We present a catalogue of 2D, point spread function-corrected de Vacouleurs, Sersic, de Vacouleurs+Exponential, and Sersic+Exponential fits of ~7x10^5^ spectroscopically selected galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7. Fits are performed for the SDSS r band utilizing the fitting routine galfit and analysis pipeline pymorph. We compare these fits to prior catalogues. Fits are analysed using a physically motivated flagging system. The flags suggest that more than 90 percent of two-component fits can be used for analysis. We show that the fits follow the expected behaviour for early and late galaxy types. The catalogues provide a robust set of structural and photometric parameters for future galaxy studies. We show that some biases remain in the measurements, e.g. the presence of bars significantly affect the bulge measurements although the bulge ellipticity may be used to separate barred and non-barred galaxies, and about 15 percent of bulges of two-component fits are also affected by resolution. The catalogues are available in electronic format. We also provide an interface for generating postage stamp images of the 2D model and residual as well as the 1D profile. These images can be generated for a user-uploaded list of galaxies on demand.

- Galaxies >~6 from the Hubble Frontier Fields
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/835/113
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We report a new analysis of the Hubble Frontier Fields clusters Abell2744 and MACS 0416 using wavelet decomposition to remove the cluster light, enabling the detection of highly magnified (>50x) galaxies a factor of 10x fainter in luminosity than previous studies. We find 167 galaxies at z>~6, and with this sample we are able to characterize the UV luminosity function to M_UV_=-12.5 at z~6, -14 at z~7, and -15 at z~8. We find a steep faint-end slope ({alpha}< -2), and with our improved statistics at the faint end we reduce the fractional uncertainty on {alpha} to <2% at z~6-7 and 4% at z~8. We also investigate the systematic uncertainty due to the lens modeling by using every available lens model individually and comparing the results; this systematic fractional uncertainty on {alpha} is <4% at all redshifts. We now directly observe galaxies in the luminosity regime where some simulations predict a change in the faint-end slope of the luminosity function, yet our results provide statistically very strong evidence against any turnover in the luminosity range probed, more consistent with simulations in which stars form in lower-mass halos. Thus, we find strong support for the extension of the steep luminosity function to M_UV_=-13 at z>6, consistent with the number of faint galaxies needed to reionize the universe under standard assumptions.

- Description:
- This catalog represents the combination of results published in two papers: Ferguson, H.C. 1989 A.J. 98, 367 (Paper II) and Ferguson, H.C. and Sandage, A. 1990 A.J. 100, 1 (Paper III). See the Historical Notes section below. Please note that the data from Paper II were previously archived as catalog VII/160. This catalog supersedes that earlier dataset. The following paragraphs describe the data included from the two papers. (Paper II) This paper presents a catalog of 2678 galaxies within an area of nearly 40 deg^2^ centered on the Fornax Cluster at {alpha}=3h35m and {delta}=-35.7deg. The data have been obtained from visual inspection of 26 deep large-scale (10.9arcsec/mm) plates taken with the du Pont 2.5m reflector at the Las Campanas Observatory, and from digital photometry of an ESO/SRC blue survey plate covering roughly the same area of the sky. The catalog is essentially diameter limited, with a limiting diameter of 17arcsec at an isophoto of B_T_ =26.5. Within this survey region, the catalog includes 340 likely cluster members and 2338 likely background galaxies. For cluster members, this listing should be complete to B_T_=18 (corresponding to M_BT_=13.0, assuming a distance modulus of m-M=31.9) and contains likely members down to B_T_=20. Cluster membership is for the most part based on galaxy morphology. By virtue of their low surface brightness, dwarf galaxies in the cluster can be distinguished with a high degree of certainty from background galaxies. Radial velocities are included for 89 galaxies in the survey, providing a reliable indicator of membership in these cases. As additional support for our rejection of background galaxies, we model the spatial distribution of various types of galaxies as the sum of a King model cluster component superimposed on a uniform background. Using maximum-likelyhood fits to these spatial distributions, we find a core radius of 0.7deg. for a King model fit to the cluster, and show that there are few, if any, cluster members contained in the sample of background galaxiesBD (Paper III) Five nearby groups of galaxies have been surveyed using large-scale plates from the 2.5 m duPont Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. Catalogs of galaxies brighter than B_T_ ~ 20 are presented for the Leo, Dorado, NGC 1400, NGC 5044, and Antlia groups. A total of 1044 galaxies are included, from visual inspection of 14 plates, covering 31deg square. Galaxies have been classified in the extended Hubble system, and group memberships have been assigned based on velocity (where available) and morphology. About half the galaxies listed are likely members of one of the nearby groups. The catalogs are complete to B_T_ ~ 18, although the completeness limits vary slightly from group to group. Based on King model fits to the surface density profiles, the core radii of the groups range from 0.3 to 1 Mpc, and central densities range from 120 to 1900 galaxies Mpc^-3^ brighter than M_BT_ = -12.5. Dynamical analysis indicates that all of the groups of likely to be gravitationally bound.

- Title:
- Galaxies in Hercules-Bootes region
- Short Name:
- J/other/AstBu/72
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We consider a sample of 412 galaxies with radial velocities V_LG_<2500km/s situated in the sky region of RA=13.0h-19.0h, Dec=+10{deg}...+40{deg} between the Local Void and the Supergalactic plane. One hundred and eighty-one of them have individual distance estimates. Peculiar velocities of the galaxies as a function of Supergalactic latitude SGB show signs of Virgocentric infall at SGB<10{deg} and motion from the Local Void at SGB>60{deg}. A half of the Hercules-Bootes galaxies belong to 17 groups and 29 pairs, with the richest group around NGC5353. A typical group is characterized by the velocity dispersion of 67km/s, the harmonic radius of 182kpc, the stellar mass of 4.3x10^10^M_{sun}_ and the virial- to-stellar mass ratio of 32. The binary galaxies have the mean radial velocity difference of 37km/s, the projected separation of 96kpc, the mean integral stellar mass of 2.6x10^9^M_{sun}_ and the mean virial-to-stellar mass ratio of about 8. The total dark-matter-to-stellar mass ratio in the considered sky region amounts to 37 being almost the same as that in the Local Volume.

- Galaxies in Leo/Cnc region
- Short Name:

- CDS
- Description:
- In the region of the sky limited by the coordinates RA=7.0h...12.0h, Dec=0{deg}...+20{deg} and extending from the Virgo Cluster to the South Pole of the Local Supercluster, we consider the data on the galaxies with radial velocities V_LG_<~2000km/s. For 290 among them, we determine individual distances and peculiar velocities. In this region, known as the local velocity anomaly zone, there are 23 groups and 20 pairs of galaxies for which the estimates of virial/orbital masses are obtained. A nearby group around NGC3379 = Leo I and NGC3627 as well as the Local Group show the motion from the Local Void in the direction of Leo cloud with a characteristic velocity of about 400 km/s. Another rich group of galaxies around NGC3607 reveals peculiar velocity of about -420km/s in the frame of reference related with the cosmic background radiation. A peculiar scattered association of dwarf galaxies Gemini Flock at a distance of 8Mpc has the radial velocity dispersion of only 20km/s and the size of approximately 0.7Mpc. The virial mass estimate for it is 300 times greater than the total stellar mass. The ratio of the sum of virial masses of groups and pairs in the Leo/Can region to the sum of stellar masses of the galaxies contained in them equals 26, which is equivalent to the local average density {Omega}_m(local)_=0.074, which is 3-4 times smaller than the global average density of matter.

- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- In this work we present the results of photometrical study of 85 objects from the updated sample of galaxies residing in the nearby Lynx-Cancer void. The images in filters u,g,r,i from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey database are used for photometry. The following model-independent parameters are obtained: integrated magnitudes and colours, effective radii and the respective surface brightnesses, optical and Holmberg radii. On results of the radial surface brightness profile analysis, their central values and scalelengths of model discs are derived. The colours of the outer parts of void galaxies are examined and compared to those of the model evolutionary tracks of the PEGASE2 package. This allowed to obtain estimates of the time since the epoch of star formation T_SF_. Among the latter group, the low-luminosity objects with M_B_>-13.2 dominate. The derived integrated absolute magnitudes and colours are used for galaxy stellar mass estimates. All available data on integrated galaxy HI fluxes are used to derive their parameter M(HI)/L_B_ and to estimate their gas mass-fraction. The small ~10% subgroup of the most gas-rich galaxies, with M(HI)/L_B_>2.5, shows gas mass-fractions reaching (94-99)%. Many of these objects also show atypically blue colours of their outer parts. To check possible statistical differences of void galaxy properties and galaxy samples formed with more general criteria, we compared the void sample galaxy parameters with those of 195 galaxies from the Equatorial Survey (ES), formed as a part of the blind HI survey HIPASS. In the common luminosity range (-18.5<M_g_<-13.5) the compared samples show similarity. The lowest luminosity void galaxies differ from the main ES sample. However, there are also ~7% faint so called 'inchoate' galaxies among ES sample with the elevated parameter M(HI)/L_B_, majority of which are situated far from massive neighbours and are probably the analogs of void galaxies.
