- Description:
- We explore how environment affects the metallicity of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) using 13 low-mass galaxy groups (two to five galaxies) at <z_abs_>=0.25 identified near background quasars. Using quasar spectra from the Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (HST/COS) and from Keck/High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer (Keck/HIRES) or the Very Large Telescope/Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (VLT/UVES), we measure column densities of or determine limits on CGM absorption lines. We use a Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach with Cloudy to estimate metallicities of cool (T~104K) CGM gas within groups and compare them to CGM metallicities of 47 isolated galaxies. Both group and isolated CGM metallicities span a wide range (-2<[Si/H]<0), where the mean group (-0.54{pm}0.22) and isolated (-0.77{pm}0.14) CGM metallicities are similar. Group and isolated environments have similar distributions of HI column densities as a function of impact parameter. However, contrary to isolated galaxies, we do not find an anticorrelation between HI column density and the nearest group galaxy impact parameter. We additionally divided the groups by member luminosity ratios (i.e., galaxy-galaxy and galaxy-dwarf groups). While there was no significant difference in their mean metallicities, a modest increase in sample size should allow one to statistically identify a higher CGM metallicity in galaxy-dwarf groups compared to galaxy-galaxy groups. We conclude that either environmental effects have not played an important role in the metallicity of the CGM at this stage and expect that this may only occur when galaxies are strongly interacting or merging or that some isolated galaxies have higher CGM metallicities due to past interactions. Thus, environment does not seem to be the cause of the CGM metallicity bimodality.

- Description:
- We describe a new wide-field Hubble Space Telescope survey of the galaxy cluster Cl 0024+16 (z~0.4) consisting of a sparsely sampled mosaic of 39 Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 images that extends to a cluster radius of ~5Mpc. Together with extensive ground-based spectroscopy taken from the literature, augmented with over a hundred newly determined redshifts, this unique data set enables us to examine environmental influences on the properties of cluster members from the inner core to well beyond the virial radius (~1.7Mpc). We catalog photometric measures for 22000 objects to I>~25 and assign morphological types for 2181 to I=22.5, of which 195 are spectroscopically confirmed cluster members.

- CDS
- Description:
- As part of a project to compare the fundamental plane and Tully-Fisher distance scales, we present here I-band CCD photometry for 636 early-type galaxies in eight clusters and groups of galaxies. These are the A262, A1367, Coma (A1656), A2634, Cancer and Pegasus Clusters, and the NGC 383 and NGC 507 Groups. Sample selection, cluster properties, and cluster membership assignment criteria are discussed. We present photometric parameters that are used in the fundamental plane relation, the effective radius r_e_, and the effective surface brightness {mu}_e_, as derived from a r^1/4^ fit to the observed radial photometric profile of each galaxy. A comparison with similar data found in the literature for the Coma Cluster shows that large systematic uncertainties can be introduced in the measurement of r_e_ and {mu}_e_ by the particular method used to derive those parameters. However, the particular combination of these two parameters that enters in the fundamental plane relation is a quantity that can be measured with high accuracy.

- IRAC counterparts of 6cm galaxies in EGS
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/132/2159
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A new 6cm survey of almost 0.6deg^2^ to a limit of 0.55mJy/beam (10sigma) finds 37 isolated radio sources and seven radio-source pairs (not necessarily physical companions). Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) counterparts are identified for at least 92% of the radio sources within the area of deep IRAC coverage, which includes 31 isolated sources and six pairs. This contrasts with an identification rate of <74% to R<23.95 in visible light. Eight of the IRAC galaxies have power-law spectral energy distributions, implying that the mid-infrared emission comes from a powerful active galactic nucleus (AGN). The remaining 26 IRAC galaxies show stellar emission in the mid-infrared, probably in most of these galaxies because the stellar emission is bright enough to outshine an underlying AGN.

- Description:
- We present the first detailed analysis of three extragalactic fields (IRAC Dark Field, ELAIS-N1, ADF-S) observed by the infrared satellite, AKARI, using an optimised data analysis toolkit specifically for the processing of extragalactic point sources. The InfaRed Camera (IRC) on AKARI complements the Spitzer space telescope via its comprehensive coverage between 8-24{mu}m filling the gap between the Spitzer IRAC and MIPS instruments.

- IRAC flux densities in IC2163 and NGC2207
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/642/158
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- IC 2163 and NGC 2207 are interacting galaxies that have been well studied at optical and radio wavelengths and simulated in numerical models to reproduce the observed kinematics and morphological features. Spitzer IRAC and MIPS observations reported here show over 200 bright clumps from young star complexes. The brightest IR clump is a morphologically peculiar region of star formation in the western arm of NGC 2207. This clump, which dominates the H{alpha} and radio continuum emission from both galaxies, accounts for ~12% of the total 24{mu}m flux. Nearly half of the clumps are regularly spaced along some filamentary structure, whether in the starburst oval of IC 2163 or in the thin spiral arms of NGC 2207.

- Title:
- IRAC/MUSYC SIMPLE survey

- Description:
- We present the Spitzer IRAC/MUSYC Public Legacy Survey in the Extended CDF-South (SIMPLE), which consists of deep IRAC observations covering the ~1600arcmin^2^ area surrounding GOODS-S. The limiting magnitudes of the SIMPLE IRAC mosaics typically are 23.8, 23.6, 21.9, and 21.7, at 3.6um, 4.5um, 5.8um, and 8.0um, respectively (5{sigma} total point source magnitudes in AB). The SIMPLE IRAC images are combined with the 10'x15' GOODS IRAC mosaics in the center. We give detailed descriptions of the observations, data reduction, and properties of the final images, as well as the detection and photometry methods used to build a catalog. Using published optical and near-infrared data from the Multiwavelength Survey by Yale-Chile (MUSYC), we construct an IRAC-selected catalog, containing photometry in UBVRIz'JHK, [3.6um], [4.5um], [5.8um], and [8.0um]. The catalog contains 43,782 sources with S/N>5 at 3.6um, 19,993 of which have 13-band photometry. We compare this catalog to the publicly available MUSYC and FIREWORKS catalogs and discuss the differences. Using a high signal-to-noise sub-sample of 3391 sources with ([3.6]+[4.5])/2<21.2, we investigate the star formation rate history of massive galaxies out to z~1.8. We find that at z~1.8 at least 30+/-7% of the most massive galaxies (M*>10^11^M_{sun}_) are passively evolving, in agreement with earlier results from surveys covering less area.

- IRAC observations of M83 extended UV disk
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/136/479
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) observations of two fields in the extended UV disk (XUV-disk) of M83 have been recently obtained, ~3R_HII_ away from the center of the galaxy (R_HII_=6.6kpc). Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) UV images have shown the two fields to host in situ recent star formation. The IRAC images are used in conjunction with GALEX data and new HI imaging from The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) to constrain stellar masses and ages of the UV clumps in the fields, and to relate the local recent star formation to the reservoir of available gas. Multi-wavelength photometry in the UV and mid-IR (MIR) bands of 136 UV clumps (spatial resolution >220pc) identified in the two target fields, together with model fitting of the stellar UV-MIR spectral energy distributions (SEDs), suggests that the clumps cover a range of ages between a few Myr and >1Gyr with a median value around <=100Myr, and have masses in the range 10^3^-3x10^6^M_{sun}_, with a peak ~10^4.7^M_{sun}.

- IRAC photometry of massive M31 globular clusters
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/143/87
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Several population synthesis models now predict integrated colors of simple stellar populations in the mid-infrared bands. To date, the models have not been extensively tested in this wavelength range. In a comparison of the predictions of several recent population synthesis models, the integrated colors are found to cover approximately the same range but to disagree in detail, for example, on the effects of metallicity. To test against observational data, globular clusters (GCs) are used as the closest objects to idealized groups of stars with a single age and single metallicity. Using recent mass estimates, we have compiled a sample of massive, old GCs in M31 which contain enough stars to guard against the stochastic effects of small-number statistics, and measured their integrated colors in the Spitzer/IRAC bands. Comparison of the cluster photometry in the IRAC bands with the model predictions shows that the models reproduce the cluster colors reasonably well, except for a small (not statistically significant) offset in [4.5]-[5.8]. In this color, models without circumstellar dust emission predict bluer values than are observed. Model predictions of colors formed from the V band and the IRAC 3.6 and 4.5{micro}m bands are redder than the observed data at high metallicities and we discuss several possible explanations. In agreement with model predictions, V-[3.6] and V-[4.5] colors are found to have metallicity sensitivity similar to or slightly better than V-K_s_.

- IRAC point sources for M32
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We investigate the population of cool, evolved stars in the Local Group dwarf elliptical galaxy M32, using Infrared Array Camera observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope. We construct deep mid-infrared colour-magnitude diagrams for the resolved stellar populations within 3.5 arcmin of M32's centre, and identify those stars that exhibit infrared excess. Our data are dominated by a population of luminous, dust-producing stars on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) and extend to approximately 3 mag below the AGB tip. We detect for the first time a sizeable population of `extreme' AGB stars, highly enshrouded by circumstellar dust and likely completely obscured at optical wavelengths. The total dust-injection rate from the extreme AGB candidates is measured to be 7.5x10^-7^M_{sun}_/yr, corresponding to a gas mass-loss rate of 1.5x10^-4^M_{sun}_/yr. These extreme stars may be indicative of an extended star formation epoch between 0.2 and 5Gyr ago.
