- Description:
- We make use of the images from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 (Stripe 82) to present an analysis of r band surface brightness profiles and radial color gradients (g-r, u-r) in our sample of 111 nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs). Thanks to the Stripe 82 images, each of which is co-added from about 50 single frames, we are able to pay special attention to the low-surface-brightness areas (LSB areas) of the galaxies.

- Description:
- We present the first part of the first large and homogeneous CCD color-magnitude diagram (CMD) data base, comprising 52 nearby Galactic globular clusters (GGC) imaged in the V and I bands using only two telescopes (one for each hemisphere). The observed clusters represent 75% of the known Galactic globulars with (m-M)V<=16.15mag, cover most of the globular cluster metallicity range (-2.2<=[Fe/H]<=-0.4), and span Galactocentric distances from ~1.2 to ~18.5kpc. In this paper, the CMDs for the 39 GGCs observed in the southern hemisphere are presented. The remaining 13 northern hemisphere clusters of the catalog are presented in a companion paper. For four clusters (NGC 4833, NGC 5986, NGC 6543, and NGC 6638) we present for the first time a CMD from CCD data. The typical CMD span from the 22^nd^ V magnitude to the tip of the red giant branch. Based on a large number of standard stars, the absolute photometric calibration is reliable to the ~0.02mag level in both filters. This catalog, because of its homogeneity, is expected to represent a useful data base for the measurement of the main absolute and relative parameters characterizing the CMD of GGCs.

- Description:
- This paper uses the multi-epoch astrometry from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) to demonstrate a method to measure proper motions and trigonometric parallaxes with precisions of ~4mas/yr and ~7mas, respectively, for low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. This method relies on WISE single exposures (Level 1b frames) and a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method. The limitations of Gaia in observing very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs are discussed, and it is shown that WISE will be able to measure astrometry past the 95% completeness limit and magnitude limit of Gaia (L, T, and Y dwarfs fainter than G~=19 and G=21, respectively). This method is applied to WISE data of 20 nearby (<=17pc) dwarfs with spectral types between M6-Y2 and previously measured trigonometric parallaxes. Also provided are WISE astrometric measurements for 23 additional low-mass dwarfs with spectral types between M6-T7 and estimated photometric distances <17pc. Only nine of these objects contain parallaxes within Gaia Data Release 2.

- Description:
- The morphology of galaxies gives essential constraints on the models of galaxy evolution. The morphology of the features in the low-surface-brightness (LSB) regions of galaxies has not been fully explored yet because of observational difficulties. Here we present the results of our visual inspections of very deep images of a large volume-limited sample of 177 nearby massive early-type galaxies from the MATLAS survey. The images reach a surface-brightness limit of 28.5-29mag/arcsec^2^ in the g' band. Using a dedicated navigation tool and questionnaire, we looked for structures at the outskirts of the galaxies such as tidal shells, streams, tails, disturbed outer isophotes, or peripheral star-forming discs, and simultaneously noted the presence of contaminating sources, such as Galactic cirrus. We also inspected internal substructures such as bars and dust lanes. We discuss the reliability of this visual classification investigating the variety of answers made by the participants. We present the incidence of these structures and the trends of the incidence with the mass of the host galaxy and the density of its environment. We find an incidence of shells, stream, and tails of approximately 15%, about the same for each category. For galaxies with masses over 10^11^M_{sun}_, the incidence of shells and streams increases about 1.7 times. We also note a strong unexpected anticorrelation of the incidence of Galactic cirrus with the environment density of the target galaxy. Correlations with other properties of the galaxies, and comparisons to model predictions, will be presented in future papers.

- Description:
- We have determined stellar membership based on astrometry, primarily from TGAS and HSOY, and multi-band photometry for 24 clusters within 333 pc. The fundamental cluster parameters (distance, age, and reddening) have been derived by fitting Padova isochrones (Bressan et al. 2012) to the cluster photometry using a chi-squared minimization.

- Description:
- We investigate whether the far-UV continuum of nearby radio galaxies is due solely to the parent galaxy that passively evolves, or if it reveals evidence for the presence of other star-forming or non-stellar components. If the UV excess is due to an additional radiation component, we compare this with other properties such as radio power, optical spectral type (e.g. high- and low-excitation galaxies), and the strength of the emission lines. We also discuss the possible correlation between the ultraviolet flux, IR properties, and the central black hole mass. We used a sample of low-luminosity B2 radio galaxies and a small sample of higher luminosity 3C radio galaxies at comparable redshift (z<0.2). Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) were constructed using a number of on-line databases that are freely available now: GALEX, SDSS, 2MASS, and WISE. These were compared with model SEDs of early-type galaxies with passively evolving stellar populations at various ages (typically 0.5-1.3x10^9^ years). We established whether a second component was needed to obtain a satisfactory fit with the observed overall SED. We introduce the parameter XUV, which measures the excess slope of the UV continuum between 4500 and 2000{AA} with respect to the UV radiation produced by the underlying old galaxy component. We find that the UV excess as measured by XUV is usually small or absent in low-luminosity (FR I) sources, but sets in abruptly at the transition radio power, above which we find mostly FRII sources. XUV behaves very similarly to the strength of the optical emission lines (in particular H{alpha}). Below P_1.4GHz_<10^24^W/Hz XUV is close to zero. XUV correlates strongly with the H{alpha} line strength, but only in sources with strong H{alpha} emission. We discuss whether the line emission might be due to photoionization by radiation from the parent galaxy, possibly with additional star formation, or if it requires the presence of a non-stellar active galactic nucleus component. XUV and the slope of the mid-IR are strongly correlated, as measured by the WISE bands in the interval 3.4 to 22{mu}m, in the sense that sources with a strong UV excess also have stronger IR emission. There is an inverse correlation between XUV and central black hole mass: the M_BH_ of objects with strong UV excess is on average two to three times less massive than that of objects without UV excess. Low-luminosity radio galaxies tend to be more massive and contain more massive black holes.

- Description:
- We are currently undertaking a program aimed at identifying previously unrecognized late-type dwarfs within 20pc of the Sun. As a first step, we have cross-referenced Luyten's NLTT proper-motion catalog (Cat. <I/98>) against the second incremental release of the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) Point Source Catalog (Cat. <B/2mass>) and use optical/infrared colors, derived by combining Luyten's m_r_ estimates with 2MASS data, to identify candidate nearby stars. This paper describes the definition of a reference sample of 1245 stars and presents a compilation of literature data for more than one-third of the sample. Only 274 stars have trigonometric parallax measurements, but we have used data for nearby stars with well-determined trigonometric parallaxes to compute color-magnitude relations in the (M_V_, V-K), (M_V_, V-I), and (M_I_, I-J) planes and use those relations to determine photometric parallaxes for NLTT stars with optical photometry. Based on the 2MASS JHKs data alone, we have identified a further 42 ultracool dwarfs (J-Ks>0.99) and use J-Ks colors to estimate photometric parallaxes. Combining these various techniques, we identify 308 stars with formal distances of less than 20 pc, while a further 46 have distance estimates within 1{sigma} of survey limit. Of these 354 stars, 75, including 39 of the ultracool dwarfs, are new to nearby-star catalogs. Two stars with both optical and near-infrared photometry are potential additions to the immediate solar neighborhood, with formal distance estimates of less than 10 pc.

- Description:
- We present accurate CCD astrometric and photometric data for 31 nearby visual double stars in the standard filters BVRI. The observations were collected with a 1.3-m telescope in 2001-2002. The results consist of relative astrometric positions (epoch, angular separation and position angle) and differential BVRI photometry of the components. Mean errors are: 0.01" for the separation; 0.06{deg} for the position angle; and 0.015mag for the photometric data. Comparing the relative positions at different epochs, we evaluate the physical association of the systems. We additionally derive fractional masses and true separations for the most probable binary systems and, whenever orbits are available, also total and component masses.

- Description:
- The near-Earth asteroid (1917) Cuyo was subject to radar and light curve observations during a close approach in 1989, and observed up until 2008. It was selected as one of our ESO Large Programme targets, aimed at observational detections of the Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack (YORP) effect through long-term light curve monitoring and physical modelling of near-Earth asteroids. We aim to constrain the physical properties of Cuyo: shape, spin-state, and spectroscopic & thermophysical properties of the surface. We acquired photometric light curves of Cuyo spanning the period between 2010 and 2013, which we combined with published light curves from 1989-2008. Our thermal-infrared observations were obtained in 2011. Rotationally resolved optical spectroscopy data were acquired in 2011 and combined with all available published spectra to investigate any surface material variegation. We developed a convex light-curve-inversion shape of Cuyo that suggests the presence of an equatorial ridge, typical for an evolved system close to shedding mass due to fast rotation. We determine limits of YORP strength through light-curve-based spin-state modelling, including both negative and positive acceleration values, between -0.7x10^-8^rad/day^2^ and 1.7x10^-8^rad/day^2^. Thermo-physical modelling with the ATPM provides constraints on the geometric albedo, pV=0.24+/-0.07, the effective diameter Deff=3.15+/-0.08km, the thermal inertia =44+/-9J/m^2^/s^1/2^/K, and a roughness fraction of 0.52+/-0.26. This enabled a YORP strength prediction of (-6.39+/-0.96)x10^-10^rad/day^2^. We also see evidence of surface compositional variation. The low value of YORP predicted by means of thermophysical analysis, consistent with the results of the light curve study, might be due to the self-limiting properties of rotational YORP, possibly involving movement of sub-surface and surface material. This may also be consistent with the surface compositional variation that we see. The physical model of Cuyo can be used to investigate cohesive forces as a way to explain why some targets survive rotation rates faster than the fission limit.
