- Description:
- We have developed a method for estimating the orbital periods of dwarf novae from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) colors in quiescence using an artificial neural network. For typical objects below the period gap with sufficient photometric accuracy, we were able to estimate the orbital periods with accuracy to a 1{sigma} error of 22%. The error of the estimation is worse for systems with longer orbital periods. We have also developed a neural-network-based method for categorical classification. This method has proven to be efficient in classifying objects into three categories (WZ Sge type, SU UMa type, and SS Cyg/Z Cam type), and works for very faint objects to a limit of g=21mag. Using this method, we have investigated the distribution of the orbital periods of dwarf novae from a modern transient survey (Catalina Real-Time Survey).

- Description:
- We present a statistical study of all measurable photometric features of a large sample of dwarf novae during their outbursts and superoutbursts. We used all accessible photometric data for all our objects to make the study as complete and up to date as possible. Our aim was to check correlations between these photometric features in order to constrain theoretical models which try to explain the nature of dwarf novae outbursts. We managed to confirm a few of the known correlations, that is the Stolz and Schoembs relation, the Bailey relation for long outbursts above the period gap, the relations between the cycle and supercycle lengths, amplitudes of normal and superoutbursts, amplitude and duration of superoutbursts, outburst duration and orbital period, outburst duration and mass ratio for short and normal outbursts, as well as the relation between the rise and decline rates of superoutbursts. However, we question the existence of the Kukarkin-Parenago relation but we found an analogous relation for superoutbursts. We also failed to find one presumed relation between outburst duration and mass ratio for superoutbursts. This study should help to direct theoretical work dedicated to dwarf novae.

- Dwarfs or giants? Stellar metallicities & distances
- Short Name:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present a new fully data-driven algorithm that uses photometric data from the Canada-France Imaging Survey (CFIS; u), Pan-STARRS 1 (PS1; griz), and Gaia (G) to discriminate between dwarf and giant stars and to estimate their distances and metallicities. The algorithm is trained and tested using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)/SEGUE spectroscopic data set and Gaia photometric/astrometric data set. At [Fe/H]<-1.2, the algorithm succeeds in identifying more than 70% of the giants in the training/test set, with a dwarf contamination fraction below 30% (with respect to the SDSS/SEGUE data set). The photometric metallicity estimates have uncertainties better than 0.2dex when compared with the spectroscopic measurements. The distances estimated by the algorithm are valid out to a distance of at least ~80kpc without requiring any prior on the stellar distribution and have fully independent uncertainties that take into account both random and systematic errors. These advances allow us to estimate these stellar parameters for approximately 12 million stars in the photometric data set. This will enable studies involving the chemical mapping of the distant outer disk and the stellar halo, including their kinematics using the Gaia proper motions. This type of algorithm can be applied in the southern hemisphere to the first release of LSST data, thus providing an almost complete view of the external components of our Galaxy out to at least ~80kpc. Critical to the success of these efforts will be ensuring well-defined spectroscopic training sets that sample a broad range of stellar parameters with minimal biases. A catalog containing the training/test set and all relevant parameters within the public footprint of CFIS is available online.

- CDS
- Description:
- We present the first dynamical study of the globular cluster system of NGC 4636. It is the southernmost giant elliptical galaxy of the Virgo cluster and is claimed to be extremely dark matter dominated, according to X-ray observations. Globular clusters are used as dynamical tracers to investigate, by stellar dynamical means, the dark matter content of this galaxy. Several hundred medium resolution spectra were acquired at the VLT with FORS 2/MXU. We obtained velocities for 174 globular clusters in the radial range 0.90'<R<15.5', or 0.5-9R_e_ in units of effective radius. Assuming a distance of 15Mpc, the clusters are found at projected galactocentric distances in the range 4 to 70kpc, the overwhelming majority within 30kpc. The measured line-of-sight velocity dispersions are compared to Jeans-models.

- DYNAMO. H{alpha} luminous galaxies sample
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/437/1070

- Description:
- DYNAMO is a multiwavelength, spatially resolved survey of local (z~0.1) star-forming galaxies designed to study evolution through comparison with samples at z=~2. Half of the sample has integrated H{alpha luminosities of >10^42^erg/s, the typical lower limit for resolved spectroscopy at z=~2. The sample covers a range in stellar mass (10^9^-10^11^M_{sun_) and star formation rate (0.2-100M_{sun}_/yr). In this first paper of a series, we present integral-field spectroscopy of H{alpha emission for the sample of 67 galaxies. We infer gas fractions in our sample as high as =~0.8, higher than typical for local galaxies. Gas fraction correlates with stellar mass in galaxies with star formation rates below 10M_{sun}_/yr, as found by COLDGASS, but galaxies with higher star formation rates have higher than expected gas fractions. There is only a weak correlation, if any, between gas fraction and gas velocity dispersion. Galaxies in the sample visually classified as disc-like are offset from the local stellar mass Tully-Fisher relation to higher circular velocities, but this offset vanishes when both gas and stars are included in the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation. The mean gas velocity dispersion of the sample is =~50km/s, and V/{sigma} ranges from 2 to 10 for most of the discs, similar to 'turbulent' galaxies at high redshift. Half of our sample show disc-like rotation, while ~20 percent show no signs of rotation. The division between rotating and non-rotating is approximately equal for the sub-samples with either star formation rates >10M_{sun}_/yr, or specific star formation rates typical of the star formation 'main sequence' at z=~2. Across our whole sample, we find good correlation between the dominance of `turbulence' in galaxy discs (as expressed by V/{sigma}) and gas fraction as has been predicted for marginally stable Toomre discs. Comparing our sample with many others at low- and high-redshift reveals a correlation between gas velocity dispersion and star formation rate. These findings suggest the DYNAMO discs are excellent candidates for local galaxies similar to turbulent z=~2 disc galaxies.

- Description:
- Based on our intensive spectroscopic campaign with the GoldCam spectrograph on the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) 2.1-m telescope, we have constructed the first catalogue of E+A galaxies with spectroscopic companion galaxies, and investigated a probability that an E+A galaxy has close companion galaxies. We selected 660 E+A galaxies with 4.0{AA}<H{delta} EW at a redshift of <0.167 from the Data Release 5 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We selected their companion candidates from the SDSS imaging data, and classified them into true companions, fore/background galaxies and companion candidates using the SDSS and our KPNO spectra. We observed 26 companion candidates of E+A galaxies at the KPNO to measure their redshifts. Their spectra showed that 17 targets are true companion galaxies.

- Description:
- We present results of a study of E+A galaxies in the cluster Cl0939+472 (z=0.41). We have used a series of narrow-band filters (FWHM~=90-200A) covering the range from 3800 to 9200A, and broad band B, R, I filters to obtain low resolution spectra for all galaxies brighter than R=22.5mag in a 5'x5' cluster field. Two of the narrow-band filters have been chosen to measure the 4000A-break index, and 3 filters were centered on the H_{beta}_, H_{gamma}_ and H_{delta}_ lines which are indicators of recent star formation.

- E+A galaxy candidates in LAMOST DR2
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A sample of 70 E+A galaxies is selected from 37206 galaxies in the second data release of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST). This sample is selected according to the criteria for E+A galaxies defined by Goto, and each of these objects is further visually identified. In this sample, most objects are low redshift E+A galaxies with z<0.25, and are located in an area of the sky with high Galactic latitude and magnitude from 14 to 18mag in the g, r and i bands. A stellar population analysis of the whole sample indicates that the E+A galaxies are characterized by both young and old stellar populations (SPs), and the metal-rich SPs have relatively higher contributions than the metal-poor ones. Additionally, a morphological classification of these objects is performed based on images taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
