- 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 report on historical optical outbursts in the OJ287 system in 1900 and 1913, detected on archival astronomical plates of the Harvard College Observatory. The 1900 outburst is reported for the first time. The first recorded outburst of the periodically active quasar OJ287 described before was observed in 1913. Up to now the information on this event was based on three points from plate archives. We used the Harvard plate collection, and added another seven observations to the light curve. The light curve is now well covered and allows one to determine the beginning of the outburst quite accurately. The outburst was longer and more energetic than the standard 1983 outburst. Should the system be strictly periodic, the period determined from these two outbursts would be 11.665yr. However, this does not match the 1900 outburst or other prominent outbursts in the record. On the other hand, the precessing binary black hole model of Lehto and Valtonen (1996ApJ...460..207L) can explain these and other known outbursts in OJ287. Finally, we discuss the upper limits for the expected 1906 outburst and the 1910 outburst, which was observed.

- 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:
- In this data paper we present the results of an extensive 21 cm-line synthesis imaging survey of 43 spiral galaxies in the nearby Ursa Major cluster using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope. Detailed kinematic information in the form of position-velocity diagrams and rotation curves is presented in an atlas together with HI channel maps, 21 cm continuum maps, global HI profiles, radial HI surface density profiles, integrated HI column density maps, and HI velocity fields. The relation between the corrected global HI linewidth and the rotational velocities Vmax and Vflat as derived from the rotation curves is investigated. Inclination angles obtained from the optical axis ratios are compared to those derived from the inclined HI disks and the HI velocity fields. The galaxies were not selected on the basis of their HI content but solely on the basis of their cluster membership and inclination which should be suitable for a kinematic analysis. The observed galaxies provide a well-defined, volume limited and equidistant sample, useful to investigate in detail the statistical properties of the Tully-Fisher relation and the dark matter halos around them.

- Description:
- We present the results of the second part of a high resolution imaging survey of hot Jupiter host stars. We search for binary companions to known transiting exoplanet host stars, in order to determine the multiplicity properties of hot Jupiter host stars. We also search for and characterise unassociated stars along the line of sight, allowing photometric and spectroscopic observations of the planetary system to be corrected for contaminating light.

- Description:
- We present the HI eXtreme (HIX) galaxy survey targeting some of the most HI rich galaxies in the Southern hemisphere. The 13 HIX galaxies have been selected to host the most massive HI discs at a given stellar luminosity. We compare these galaxies to a control sample of average galaxies detected in the HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS). As the control sample is matched in stellar luminosity, we find that the stellar properties of HIX galaxies are similar to the control sample. Furthermore, the specific star formation rate and optical morphology do not differ between HIX and control galaxies. We find, however, the HIX galaxies to be less efficient in forming stars. For the most HI massive galaxy in our sample (ESO075-G006, logM_HI_[M_{sun}_]=(10.8+/-0.1)), the kinematic properties are the reason for inefficient star formation and HI excess. Examining the Australian Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) HI imaging and Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS) optical spectra of ESO075-G006 reveals an undisturbed galaxy without evidence for recent major, violent accretion events. A tilted ring fitted to the HI disc together with the gas-phase oxygen abundance distribution supports the scenario that gas has been constantly accreted on to ESO075-G006 but the high specific angular momentum makes ESO075-G006 very inefficient in forming stars. Thus, a massive HI disc has been built up.

- HJK photometry of 10 barred spirals

- Description:
- We have obtained NIR broad-band images in the J, H and K bands of 12 barred galaxies that make up our sample, during three observing runs with the 3.6 m Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope on Hawaii. We used the Montreal NIR camera (MONICA) equipped with a 256 x 256 pixel HgCdTe array detector with a projected size of 0.248 arcsec. One of the main data products presented in this paper is a set of detailed radial profile fits to the NIR images. We present radial profiles of ellipticity, major axis position angle, NIR colour, and H- band surface brightness. We have used aperture photometry from the literature to calibrate the data. After calibrating the images, we fitted ellipses to the images. We thus produced plots of the surface brightness of the H- band as a function of the radius, and colour profiles in J-K and H-K for all the galaxies which were imaged in these bands. Error-bars in these plots indicate the uncertainty in the determination of the sky background. Certain aspects of the radial profiles are discussed in the paper, but there is one characteristic which is worth mentioning here. Apart from NGC 3516 and NGC 3982, the radial profiles show characteristic behaviour near the radius of the circumnuclear ring. In seven (out of 10) galaxies, all profiles (surface brightness, colour, ellipticity and position angle) show either a change in slope, where the surface brightness profile becomes steeper, or a bump, when the colour profile shows a limited redder region caused by either dust or SF in or near the ring. These characteristics are accompanied by some change in ellipticity and position angle.

- Description:
- Most globular clusters (GCs) are now known to host multiple stellar populations with different abundances of light elements. Here we use narrow-band photometry and low-resolution spectroscopy for NGC 362 and NGC 6723 to investigate their chemical properties and radial distributions of subpopulations. We confirm that NGC 362 and NGC 6723 are among the GCs with multiple populations showing bimodal CN distribution and CN-CH anticorrelation without a significant spread in calcium abundance. These two GCs show more centrally concentrated CN-weak, earlier generation stars compared to the CN-strong, later generation stars. These trends are reversed with respect to those found in previous studies for many other GCs. Our findings, therefore, seem contradictory to the current scenario for the formation of multiple stellar populations, but mass segregation acting on the two subpopulations might be a possible solution to explain this reversed radial trend.

- Description:
- We study stars and gas in and around the HII region Sh 2-217 to see if the various physical parameters derived from the data (such as column densities, masses, sizes, and timescales) are consistent with the predictions of a simple model of the collect-and-collapse mechanism. This should indicate whether stars forming in molecular gas at the borders of the HII region could have been triggered by the expansion of the ionized gas. We observed the emission of various molecules and transitions towards Sh 2-217, and obtained both near-infrared photometry in the H and K bands, and near-infrared images in [FeII] and H2 narrow-band filters of the stars in a molecular condensation at the edge of the HII region, where an UC HII region is also located.

- Description:
- Variability is a common characteristic of pre-main-sequence stars (PMS). Near-IR variability surveys of young stellar objects (YSOs) can probe stellar and circumstellar environments and provide information about the dynamics of the ongoing magnetic and accretion processes. Furthermore, variability can be used as a tool to uncover new cluster members in star formation regions. We hope to achieve the deepest near-IR variability study of YSOs targeting the rho Ophiuchi cluster. Fourteen epochs of observations were obtained with the Wide Field Camera (WFCAM) at the UKIRT telescope scheduled in a manner that allowed the study of variability on timescales of days, months, and years. Statistical tools, such as the multi-band cross correlation index and the reduced chi-square, were used to disentangle signals of variability from noise. Variability characteristics are compared to existing models of YSOs in order to relate them to physical processes, and then used to select new candidate members of this star-forming region. Variability in the near-IR is found to be present in 41% of the known population of rho Ophiuchi recovered in our sample. The behaviours shown are several and can be associated with the existence of spots on the stellar surface, variations in circumstellar extinction, or changes in the geometry of an accretion disc. Using variability, a new population of objects has been uncovered, that is believed to be part of the rho Ophiuchi cluster.
