- Description:
- Galaxies in dense environments are subject to interactions and mechanisms that directly affect their evolution by lowering their gas fractions and consequently reducing their star-forming capacity earlier than their isolated counterparts. The aim of our project is to get new insights into the role of environment in the stellar and baryonic content of galaxies using a kinematic approach, through the study of the Tully-Fisher relation (TFR). We study a sample of galaxies in eight groups, over-dense by a factor larger than 25 with respect to the average projected density, spanning a redshift range of 0.5<z<0.8 and located in ten pointings of the MAGIC MUSE Guaranteed Time Observations program. We perform a morpho-kinematics analysis of this sample and set up a selection based on galaxy size, [OII]{lambda}{lambda}3727,3729 emission line doublet signal-to-noise ratio, bulge-to-disk ratio, and nuclear activity to construct a robust kinematic sample of 67 star-forming galaxies. We show that this selection considerably reduces the number of outliers in the TFR, which are predominantly dispersion-dominated galaxies. Similar to other studies, we find that including the velocity dispersion in the velocity budget mainly affects galaxies with low rotation velocities, reduces the scatter in the relation, increases its slope, and decreases its zero-point. Including gas masses is more significant for low-mass galaxies due to a larger gas fraction, and thus decreases the slope and increases the zero-point of the relation. Our results suggest a significant offset of the TFR zero-point between galaxies in low- and high-density environments, regardless of the kinematics estimator used. This can be interpreted as a decrease in either stellar mass by ~0.05-0.3dex or an increase in rotation velocity by ~0.02-0.06dex for galaxies in groups, depending on the samples used for comparison. We also studied the stellar and baryon mass fractions within stellar disks and found they both increase with stellar mass, the trend being more pronounced for the stellar component alone. These fractions do not exceed 50%. We show that this evolution of the TFR is consistent either with a decrease in star formation or with a contraction of the mass distribution due to the environment. These two effects probably act together, with their relative contribution depending on the mass regime.

- Description:
- Local and intermediate redshift (z~0.5) galaxy samples obey well correlated relations between the stellar population luminosity and maximal galaxy rotation that define the TullyFisher (TF) relation. Consensus is starting to be reached on the TF relation at z~0.5, but work at significantly higher redshifts is even more challenging, and has been limited by small galaxy sample sizes, the intrinsic scatter of galaxy properties, and increasing observational uncertainties. We present here the TF measurements of 41 galaxies at relatively high redshift, spectroscopically observed with the Keck/DEIMOS instrument by the DEEP2 project, a survey which will eventually offer a large galaxy sample of the greatest depth and number yet achieved towards this purpose. The first-look sample analyzed here has a redshift range of 0.75<z<1.3 with <z>=0.85 and an intrinsic magnitude range from M_B_ of -22.66 to -20.57 (Vega). We find that compared to local fiducial samples, a brightening of 1.5mag is observed, and consistent with passive evolutionary models.

- Description:
- We present the first release of Turin-SyCAT, a multifrequency catalog of Seyfert galaxies. We selected Seyfert galaxies considering criteria based on radio, infrared, and optical properties and starting from sources belonging to hard X-ray catalogs and surveys. We visually inspected optical spectra available for all selected sources. We adopted homogeneous and stringent criteria in the source selection aiming at reducing the possible contamination from other source classes. Our final catalog includes 351 Seyfert galaxies distinguished in 233 type 1 and 118 type 2. Type 1 Seyfert galaxies appear to have mid-IR colors similar to blazars, but are distinguished from them by their radio-loudness. Additionally, Seyfert 2 galaxies have mid-IR colors more similar to quasars than BL Lac objects. As expected from their spectral properties, type 1 and 2 Seyfert galaxies show a clear distinction when using the u-r color. Finally, we found a tight correlation between the mid-IR fluxes at both 12 and 22 um (i.e., F12 and F22, respectively) and hard X-ray fluxes between 15 and 150 keV. Both Seyfert types appear to follow the same trend and share similar values of the ratios of F12 and F22 to FHX in agreement with expectations of the AGN unification scenario. As future perspectives, the Turin-SyCAT will then be used to search for heavily obscured Seyfert galaxies among unidentified hard X-ray sources, given the correlation between mid-IR and hard X-rays, and to investigate their large-scale environments.

- Description:
- We present the optical narrow-line ratios in a Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) based sample of 3175 broad H{alpha} selected type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN), and explore their positions in the BPT diagrams as a function of the AGN and the host properties. We find the following: (1) the luminosities of all measured narrow lines (H{alpha}, H{beta}, [OIII], [NII], [SII], [OI]) show a Baldwin relation relative to the broad H{alpha} luminosity LbH{alpha}, with slopes in the range of 0.53-0.72. (2) About 20 percent of the type 1 AGN reside within the "Composite" and "star-forming" (SF) regions of the Baldwin, Phillips & Terlevich (BPT) diagrams. These objects also show excess narrow H{alpha} and ultraviolet (UV) luminosities, for their LbH{alpha}, consistent with contribution from star formation which dominates the narrow-lines emission, as expected from their positions in the BPT diagrams. (3) The type 1 which reside within the AGN region in the BPT diagrams, are offset to lower [SII]/H{alpha} and [NII]/H{alpha} luminosity ratios, compared to type 2 AGN. This offset is a selection effect, related to the lower AGN/host luminosity selection of the type 2 AGN selected from the SDSS galaxy sample. (4) The [NII]/H{alpha} and [NII]/[SII] ratios in type 1 AGN increase with the host mass, as expected if the mass-metallicity relation of quiescent galaxies holds for the AGN narrow-line region (NLR). (5) The broad lines optical Fe ii is higher for a higher [NII]/H{alpha}, at a fixed Lbol and Eddington ratio L/LEdd. This suggests that the broad line region metallicity is also related to the host mass. (6) The fraction of AGN which are low-ionization nuclear emission-line regions (LINERs) increases sharply with decreasing L/LEdd. This fraction is the same for type 1 and type 2 AGN. (7) The BPT position is unaffected by the amount of dust extinction of the optical-UV continuum, which suggests that the extincting dust resides on scales larger than the narrow-line region (NLR).

- Description:
- We present a sample of 167 type 2 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with double-peaked [OIII]4959,5007 narrow emission lines, selected from the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The double-peaked profiles can be well modeled by two velocity components, blueshifted and redshifted from the systemic velocity. Half of these objects have a more prominent redshifted component. In cases where the H{beta} emission line is strong, it also shows two velocity components whose line-of-sight (LOS) velocity offsets are consistent with those of [OIII]. The relative LOS velocity offset between the two components is typically a few hundred km/s, larger by a factor of ~1.5 than the line full width at half maximum of each component. The offset correlates with the host stellar velocity dispersion {sigma}_*_. The host galaxies of this sample show systematically larger {sigma}_*_, stellar masses, and concentrations, and older luminosity-weighted mean stellar ages than a regular type 2 AGN sample matched in redshift, [OIII]5007 equivalent width, and luminosity; they show no significant difference in radio properties. These double-peaked features could be due to narrow-line region kinematics, or binary black holes.

- Description:
- We present a fully consistent catalog of local and global properties of host galaxies of 882 Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) that were selected based on their light-curve properties, spanning the redshift range 0.01<z<1. This catalog corresponds to a preliminary version of the compilation sample and includes Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS) 5-year data, Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and low-redshift surveys. We measured low- and moderate-redshift host galaxy photometry in SDSS stacked and single-epoch images and used spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting techniques to derive host properties such as stellar mass and U-V rest-frame colors; the latter are an indicator of the luminosity-weighted age of the stellar population in a galaxy. We combined these results with high-redshift host photometry from the SNLS survey and thus obtained a consistent catalog of host stellar masses and colors across a wide redshift range. We also estimated the local observed fluxes at the supernova location within a proper distance radius of 3kpc, corresponding to the SNLS imaging resolution, and transposed them into local U-V rest-frame colors. This is the first time that local environments surrounding SNIa have been measured at redshifts spanning the entire Hubble diagram. Selecting SNIa based on host photometry quality, we then performed cosmological fits using local color as a third standardization variable, for which we split the sample at the median value. We find a local color step significance of -0.091+/-0.013mag (7{sigma}), which effect is as significant as the maximum mass step effect. This indicates that the remaining luminosity variations in SNIa samples can be reduced with a third standardization variable that takes the environment into account. Correcting for the maximum mass step correction of -0.094+/-0.013mag, we find a local color effect of -0.057+/-0.012mag (5{sigma}), which shows that additional information is provided by the close environment of SNIa. Departures from the initial choices were investigated and showed that the local color effect is still present, although less pronounced. We discuss the possible implications for cosmology and find that using the local color in place of the stellar mass results in a change in the measured value of the dark energy equation-of-state parameter of 0.6%. Standardization using local U-V color in addition to stretch and color reduces the total dispersion in the Hubble diagram from 0.15 to 0.14mag. This will be of tremendous importance for the forthcoming SNIa surveys, and in particular for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), for which uncertainties on the dark energy equation of state will be comparable to the effects reported here.

- Type Ibc SNe in disturbed galaxies

- Description:
- We compare the radial locations of 178 core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) to the R-band and H{alpha} light distributions of their host galaxies. When the galaxies are split into "disturbed" and "undisturbed" categories, a striking difference emerges. The disturbed galaxies have a central excess of CCSNe and this excess is almost completely dominated by supernovae of types Ib, Ic, and Ib/c, whereas type II supernovae dominate in all other environments. The difference cannot easily be explained by metallicity or extinction effects, and thus we propose that this is direct evidence for a stellar initial mass function that is strongly weighted toward high-mass stars, specifically in the central regions of disturbed galaxies.

- U-band dropouts in Hubble Ultra Deep Field
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We combine data from the extremely deep Hubble Space Telescope U (F300W) image, obtained using WFPC2 as part of the parallel observations of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field campaign, with BVi images from the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey to identify a sample of Lyman break galaxies in the redshift range 2.0<=z<=3.5. We use recent stellar population synthesis models with a wide variety of ages, metallicities, redshifts, and dust content, and a detailed representation of the HI cosmic opacity as a function of redshift to model the colors of galaxies in our combination of WFPC2 and ACS filters. Using these models, we derive improved color selection criteria that provide a clean selection of relatively unobscured star-forming galaxies in this redshift range. Our WFPC2 F300W image is the deepest image ever obtained at that wavelength. The 10 limiting magnitude measured over 0.2arcsec^2^ is 27.5mag in the WFPC2 F300W image, about 0.5mag deeper than the F300W image in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF)-North.

- Description:
- This paper belongs to a series presenting the WIde Field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey (WINGS). The WINGS project has collected wide-field, optical (B,V), and near-infrared (J,K) imaging as well as medium resolution spectroscopy of galaxies in a sample of 76 X-ray selected nearby clusters (0.04<z<0.07) with the aim of establishing a reference sample for evolutionary studies of galaxies and galaxy clusters. We present the U-band photometry of galaxies and stars in the fields of 17 clusters of the WINGS sample. We also extend the original B- and V-band photometry (WINGS-OPT) for 9 and 6 WINGS clusters to a larger field of view. We used both the new and already existing B-band photometry to obtain reliable (U-B) colors of galaxies within three fixed apertures in kpc. To this aim, we particular care the astrometric precision in the reduction procedure. Since not all the observations were taken in good transparency conditions, the photometric calibration was partly obtained by relying on the SDSS and WINGS-OPT photometry for the U- and optical bands, respectively. We provide U-band (also B- and V-band, where possible) total magnitudes of stars and galaxies in the fields of clusters. For galaxies only, the catalogs also provide geometrical parameters and carefully centered aperture magnitudes. The internal consistency of magnitudes was checked for clusters imaged with different cameras, while the external photometric consistency was obtained by comparison with the WINGS-OPT and SDSS surveys. The photometric catalogs presented here add the U-band information to the WINGS database for extending the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the galaxies, in particular in the ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths which are fundamental for deriving the star formation rate (SFR) properties.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The FORS Deep Field project is a multi-colour, multi-object spectroscopic investigation of a 7' times 7' region near the south galactic pole based mostly on observations carried out with the FORS instruments attached to the VLT telescopes. It includes the QSO Q0103-260 (z=3.36). The goal of this study is to improve our understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies in the young Universe. In this paper the field selection, the photometric observations, and the data reduction are described. The source detection and photometry of objects in the FORS Deep Field is discussed in detail. A combined B and I selected UBgRIJKs photometric catalog of 8753 objects in the FDF is presented and its properties are briefly discussed. The formal 50% completeness limits for point sources, derived from the coadded images, are 25.64, 27.69, 26.86, 26.68, 26.37, 23.60 and 21.57 in U, B, g, R, I, J and Ks (Vega-system), respectively. A comparison of the number counts in the FORS Deep Field to those derived in other deep field surveys shows very good agreement.
