- Description:
- The Transit Ephemeris Refinement and Monitoring Survey is a project that aims to detect transits of intermediate-long period planets by refining orbital parameters of the known radial velocity planets using additional data from ground-based telescopes, calculating a revised transit ephemeris for the planet, then monitoring the planet host star during the predicted transit window. Here we present the results from three systems that had high probabilities of transiting planets: HD9446b and c, HD43691b, and HD179079b. We provide new radial velocity (RV) measurements that are then used to improve the orbital solution for the known planets. We search the RV data for indications of additional planets in orbit and find that HD9446 shows a strong linear trend of 4.8{sigma}. Using the newly refined planet orbital solutions, which include a new best-fit solution for the orbital period of HD9446c, and an improved transit ephemerides, we found no evidence of transiting planets in the photometry for each system. Transits of HD9446b can be ruled out completely and transits HD9446c and HD43691b can be ruled out for impact parameters up to b=0.5778 and b=0.898, respectively, due to gaps in the photometry. A transit of HD179079b cannot be ruled out, however, due to the relatively small size of this planet compared to the large star and thus low signal to noise. We determine properties of the three host stars through spectroscopic analysis and find through photometric analysis that HD9446 exhibits periodic variability.

- Description:
- We present the optical data for 195 HI-selected galaxies that fall within both the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Parkes Equatorial Survey (ES). The photometric quantities have been independently recomputed for our sample using a new photometric pipeline optimized for large galaxies, thus correcting for SDSS's limited reliability for automatic photometry of angularly large or low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies.

- Description:
- We present the first results from our KODIAQ Z survey aimed at determining the metallicity distribution and physical properties of the z>~2 partial and full Lyman limit systems (pLLSs and LLSs; 16.2<=logN_HI_<19), which are probed of the interface regions between the intergalactic medium (IGM) and galaxies. We study 31 HI-selected pLLSs and LLSs at 2.3<z<3.3 observed with Keck/HIRES in absorption against background QSOs. We compare the column densities of metal ions to HI and use photoionization models to assess the metallicity. The metallicity distribution of the pLLSs/LLSs at 2.3<z<3.3 is consistent with a unimodal distribution peaking at [X/H]~-2. The metallicity distribution of these absorbers therefore evolves markedly with z since at z<~1 it is bimodal with peaks at [X/H]~-1.8 and -0.3. There is a substantial fraction (25%-41%) of pLLSs/LLSs with metallicities well below those of damped Ly{alpha} absorbers (DLAs) at any studied z from z<~1 to z~2-4, implying reservoirs of metal-poor, cool, dense gas in the IGM/galaxy interface at all z. However, the gas probed by pLLSs and LLSs is rarely pristine, with a fraction of 3%-18% for pLLSs/LLSs with [X/H]<=-3. We find C/{alpha} enhancement in several pLLSs and LLSs in the metallicity range -2<~[X/H]<~-0.5, where C/{alpha} is 2-5 times larger than observed in Galactic metal-poor stars or high-redshift DLAs at similar metallicities. This is likely caused by preferential ejection of carbon from metal-poor galaxies into their surroundings.

- Description:
- We present the historic photographic light curves of three little known blazars (two BL Lac objects and one FSRQ), GB6 J1058+5628, GB6 J1148+5254, and GB6 J1209+4119, spanning a time interval of about 50 years, mostly built using the Asiago plate archive. All objects show evident long-term variability, over which short-term variations are superposed. One source, GB6 J1058+5628, showed a marked quasi-periodic variability of 1mag on timescale of about 6.3 years, making it one of the few BL Lac objects with a quasi-periodic behavior.

- Description:
- The methods for constructing a catalogue of 20457 star positions for the epoch 1964 between -48 and -58{deg} declination are described. The positions were obtained by the overlap method, and images generated by a coarse diffraction grating were employed to control magnitude-related effects on the position. A selection of about 2 faint Astrographic Catalog (AC) stars per square degree was included to serve as material for the eventual determination of magnitude effects on the AC positions. The standard error of a catalogued position estimate based on 2 images is 0.12'' in either coordinate.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This manuscript describes the public release of the Hubble Legacy Fields (HLF) project photometric catalog for the extended GOODS-South region from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) archival program AR-13252. The analysis is based on the version 2.0 HLF data release that now includes all ultraviolet (UV) imaging, combining three major UV surveys. The HLF data combines over a decade worth of 7475 exposures taken in 2635 orbits totaling 6.3Ms with the HST Advanced Camera for Surveys Wide Field Channel (ACS/WFC) and the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) UVIS/IR Channels in the greater GOODS-S extragalactic field, covering all major observational efforts (e.g., GOODS, GEMS, CANDELS, ERS, UVUDF, and many other programs; see Illingworth+ arXiv:1606.00841). The HLF GOODS-S catalogs include photometry in 13 bandpasses from the UV (WFC3/UVIS F225W, F275W, and F336W filters), optical (ACS/WFC F435W, F606W, F775W, F814W and F850LP filters), to near-infrared (WFC3/IR F098M, F105W, F125W, F140W and F160W filters). Such a data set makes it possible to construct the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of objects over a wide wavelength range from high-resolution mosaics that are largely contiguous. Here, we describe a photometric analysis of 186474 objects in the HST imaging at wavelengths 0.2-1.6{mu}m. We detect objects from an ultra-deep image combining the PSF-homogenized and noise-equalized F850LP, F125W, F140W, and F160W images, including Gaia astrometric corrections. SEDs were determined by carefully taking the effects of the point-spread function in each observation into account.

- Description:
- We present the discovery of HLock01-LAB, a luminous and large Ly{alpha} nebula at z=3.326. Medium-band imaging and long-slit spectroscopic observations with the Gran Telescopio Canarias reveal extended emission in the Ly{alpha} 1215{AA}, CIV 1550{AA}, and HeII 1640{AA} lines over ~100kpc, and a total luminosity L(Ly{alpha})=(6.4+/-0.1)x10^44^erg/s. HLock01-LAB presents an elongated morphology aligned with two faint radio sources contained within the central ~8kpc of the nebula. The radio structures are consistent with faint radio jets or lobes of a central galaxy, whose spectrum shows nebular emission characteristic of a type-II active galactic nucleus (AGN). The continuum emission of the AGN at short wavelengths is however likely dominated by stellar emission of the host galaxy, for which we derive a stellar mass M*~2.3x10^11^M_{sun}_. Our kinematic analysis shows that the ionized gas is perturbed almost exclusively in the inner region between the radio structures, probably as a consequence of jet-gas interactions, whereas in the outer regions the ionized gas appears more quiescent. The detection of extended emission in CIV and CIII] indicates that the gas within the nebula is not primordial. Feedback may have enriched the halo at at least 50kpc from the nuclear region. Using rest-frame UV emission-line diagnostics, we find that the gas in the nebula is likely heated by the AGN. Nevertheless, at the center of the nebula we find extreme emission line ratios of Ly{alpha}/CIV~60 and Ly{alpha}/HeII~80, one of the highest values measured to date, and well above the standard values of photoionization models (Ly{alpha}/HeII ~30 for case B photoionization). Our data suggest that jet-induced shocks are likely responsible for the increase of the electron temperature and, thus, the observed Ly{alpha} enhancement in the center of the nebula. This scenario is further supported by the presence of radio structures and perturbed kinematics in this region. The large Ly{alpha} luminosity in HLock01-LAB is likely due to a combination of AGN photoionization and jet-induced shocks, highlighting the diversity of sources of energy powering Ly{alpha} nebulae. Future follow-up observations of HLock01-LAB will help to reveal the finer details of the excitation conditions of the gas induced by jets and to investigate the underlying cooling and feedback processes in this unique object.

- Description:
- We present the results of an extended narrow-band H{alpha} study of the massive galaxy cluster XMMU J2235.3-2557 at z=1.39. This paper represents a follow-up study to our previous investigation of star formation in the cluster centre, extending our analysis out to a projected cluster radius of 1.5Mpc. Using the Near InfraRed Imager and Spectrograph on Gemini North Telescope we obtained deep H narrow-band imaging corresponding to the rest-frame wavelength of H{alpha} at the cluster's redshift. We identify a total of 163 potential cluster members in both pointings, excluding stars based on their near-infrared colours derived from VLT/HAWK-I imaging. Of these 163 objects 14 are spectroscopically confirmed cluster members, and 20 per cent are excess line emitters. We find no evidence of star formation activity within a radius of 200 kpc of the brightest cluster galaxy in the cluster core. Dust-corrected star formation rates (SFRs) of excess emitters outside this cluster quenching radius, R_Q_~200kpc, are on average <SFR>=2.7+/-1.0M_{sun}_/yr, but do not show evidence of increasing SFRs towards the extreme 1.5Mpc radius of the cluster. No individual cluster galaxy exceeds an SFR of 6M_{sun}_/yr. Massive galaxies (logM*/M_{sun}_>10.75) all have low specific SFRs (SSFRs, i.e. SFR per unit stellar mass). At fixed stellar mass, galaxies in the cluster centre have lower SSFRs than the rest of the cluster galaxies, which in turn have lower SSFRs than field galaxies at the same redshift by a factor of a few to 10. For the first time we can demonstrate through measurements of individual SFRs that already at very early epochs (at an age of the Universe of ~4.5Gyr) the suppression of star formation is an effect of the cluster environment which persists at fixed galaxy stellar mass.

- Description:
- Time-resolved Fourier transform infrared emission spectroscopy, Fourier transform absorption infrared spectroscopy, and high-resolution UV-ViS emission spectroscopy have been exploited in order to characterize the chemistry of isocyanic acid (HNCO) under glow discharge conditions in planetary atmospheres. HNCO mixtures (i.e., composed of di-hydrogen or ammonia) have been investigated in order to unveil the possible reaction pathways leading to the synthesis of the key prebiotic molecule formamide (HCONH_2_), upon planetary atmospheres containing isocyanic acid in presence of di-hydrogen and, separately, of ammonia. In addition, ab initio Molecular Dynamics simulations coupled with a state-of-the-art metadynamics technique have been performed in order to identify the most likely chemical pathways connecting HNCO to formamide. It turned out that the direct hydrogenation of HNCO is thermodynamically favored. Incidentally, also the experimental results - supplied by a simplified kinetic model - proved the favorability of the reaction HNCO + H_2_ -> HCONH_2_ which, moreover, spontaneously takes place in unbiased ab initio Molecular Dynamics simulations carried out under the effect of intense electric fields.
