- Description:
- We describe the infrared properties of a large sample of early-type galaxies, comparing data from the Spitzer archive with Ks-band emission from the Two Micron All Sky Survey. While most representations of this data result in correlations with large scatter, we find a remarkably tight relation among colors formed by ratios of luminosities in Spitzer-Multiband Imaging Photometer bands (24, 70, and 160um) and the Ks band. Remarkably, this correlation among E and S0 galaxies follows that of nearby normal galaxies of all morphological types.

- Description:
- Arcuate infrared nebulae are ubiquitous throughout the Galactic Plane and are candidates for partial shells, bubbles, or bowshocks produced by massive runaway stars. We tabulate infrared photometry for 709 such objects using images from the Spitzer Space Telescope, the Wide-field Infrared Explorer, and the Herschel Space Observatory (HSO). Of the 709 objects identified at 24 or 22 {mu}m, 422 are detected at the HSO 70 {mu}m bandpass. Of these, only 39 are detected at HSO 160 {mu}m. The 70 {mu}m peak surface brightnesses are 0.5-2.5 Jyr/arcmin^2^. Color temperatures calculated from the 24 to 70 {mu}m ratios range from 80 to 400 K. Color temperatures from 70 to 160 {mu}m ratios are systematically lower, 40-200 K. Both of these temperature are, on average, 75% higher than the nominal temperatures derived by assuming that dust is in steady-state radiative equilibrium. This may be evidence of stellar wind bowshocks sweeping up and heating-possibly fragmenting but not destroying-interstellar dust. Infrared luminosity correlates with standoff distance, R_0_, as predicted by published hydrodynamical models. Infrared spectral energy distributions are consistent with interstellar dust exposed to either single radiant energy density, U=10^3^-10^5^ (in more than half of the objects) or a range of radiant energy densities U_min_=25 to U_max_=10^3^-10^5^ times the mean interstellar value for the remainder. Hence, the central OB stars dominate the energetics, making these enticing laboratories for testing dust models in constrained radiation environments. The spectral energy densities are consistent with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon fractions q_PAH_~<1% in most objects.

- Description:
- We report on three new transiting hot Jupiter planets, discovered from the WASP surveys, which we combine with radial velocities from OHP/SOPHIE and Euler/CORALIE and photometry from Euler and TRAPPIST. The planets WASP-76b, WASP-82b, and WASP-90b are all inflated, with radii of 1.7-1.8R_Jup_. All three orbit hot stars, of type F5-F7, with orbits of 1.8-3.9d, and all three stars have evolved, post-main-sequence radii (1.7-2.2R_{sun}_). Thus the three planets fit a known trend of hot Jupiters that receive high levels of irradiation, as a result of their being highly inflated. We caution, though, about the presence of a selection effect, in that non-inflated planets around ~2R_{sun}_ post-MS stars can often produce transits too shallow to be detected by the ground-based surveys that have found the majority of transiting hot Jupiters.

- Description:
- It is widely recognized that the irregular satellites of the giant planets were captured from initially heliocentric orbits. However, the mechanism of capture and the source region from which they were captured both remain unknown. We present an optical color survey of 43 irregular satellites of the outer planets conducted using the LRIS camera on the 10 m telescope at the Keck Observatory in Hawaii. The measured colors are compared to other planetary bodies in search for similarities and differences that may reflect upon the origin of the satellites. We find that ultrared matter (with color index B-R>=1.6), while abundant in the Kuiper Belt and Centaur populations, is depleted from the irregular satellites. We also use repeated determinations of the absolute magnitudes to make a statistical estimate of the average shape of the irregular satellites. The data provide no evidence that the satellites and the main-belt asteroids are differently shaped, consistent with collisions as the major agent shaping both.

- Description:
- Using the large multiwavelength data set in the Chandra/SWIRE Survey (0.6deg^2^ in the Lockman Hole), we show evidence for the existence of highly obscured (Compton-thick) AGNs, estimate a lower limit to their surface density, and characterize their multiwavelength properties. Two independent selection methods based on the X-ray and infrared spectral properties are presented. The two selected samples contain (1) five X-ray sources with hard X-ray spectra and column densities >~10^24^cm^-2^ and (2) 120 infrared sources with red and AGN-dominated infrared SEDs. We estimate a surface density of at least 25 Compton-thick AGNs deg^2^ detected in the infrared in the Chandra/SWIRE field, of which 40% show distinct AGN signatures in their optical/near-infrared SEDs, the remaining being dominated by the host galaxy emission. Only ~33% of all Compton-thick AGNs are detected in the X-rays at our depth [F(0.3-8keV)>10^-15^ergs/cm^2^/s]. We report the discovery of two sources in our sample of Compton-thick AGNs, SWIRE J104409.95+585224.8 (z=2.54) and SWIRE J104406.30+583954.1 (z=2.43), which are the most luminous Compton-thick AGNs at high z currently known. The properties of these two sources are discussed in detail with an analysis of their spectra, SEDs, luminosities, and black hole masses.

- Description:
- We present a near-infrared (JHKs) photometric catalog, including 14811185 point sources for a 40deg^2^ area of the Large Magellanic Cloud, 2769682 sources for an 11deg^2^ area of the Small Magellanic Cloud, and 434145 sources for a 4deg^2^ area of the Magellanic Bridge. The 10sigma limiting magnitudes are 18.8, 17.8, and 16.6mag at J, H, and Ks, respectively. The photometric and astrometric accuracies for bright sources are 0.03-0.04mag and 0.1arcsec, respectively. Based on the catalog, we also present (1) spatial distributions, (2) luminosity functions, (3) color-color diagrams, and (4) color-magnitude diagrams for point sources toward the Magellanic Clouds.

- Description:
- A very long-term near-infrared variable star survey towards the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) was carried out using the 1.4m InfraRed Survey Facility at the South African Astronomical Observatory. This project was initiated in 2000 December in the LMC, and in 2001 July in the SMC. Since then an area of 3deg^2^ along the bar in the LMC and an area of 1deg^2^ in the central part of the SMC have been repeatedly observed. This survey is ongoing, but results obtained with data taken until 2017 December are reported in this paper. Over more than 15yr we have observed the two survey areas more than one hundred times. This is the first survey that provides near-infrared time-series data with such a long time baseline and on such a large scale. This paper describes the observations in the SMC and publishes a point source photometric catalogue, a variable source catalogue, and time-series data.

- Description:
- The InfraRed Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI has a comprehensive wavelength coverage with 9 photometric bands at 2-24 micron. Based on the NEP-Wide survey of AKARI (which covered a 5.4 sq.deg circular area centered on the NEP), we constructed a catalog for the infrared sources found in the survey area. Here we present the catalog containing about 114,800 sources detected at the nine IRC filter bands. This is a band-merged catalogue including all of the photometry results from the supplementary optical data as well as the IRC bands. To validate a source at a given IRC band, we searched counterparts in the other bands. The band-merging was done based on this cross-matching of the sources among the filter bands. If there is no detection in a certain band, we assigned the 99.000. The NIR sources having no counterpart in any other bands are finally excluded to avoid the false objects. See the reference for the details of the NEP-Wide survey and data reduction.

- Description:
- As a step toward a comprehensive overview of the infrared (IR) diagnostics of the central engines and host galaxies of quasars at low redshift, we present Spitzer Space Telescope spectroscopic (5-40{mu}m) and photometric (24, 70, and 160{mu}m) measurements of all Palomar-Green (PG) quasars at z<0.5 and Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) quasars at z<0.3. We supplement these data with Herschel measurements at 160{mu}m. The sample is composed of 87 optically selected PG quasars and 52 near-IR-selected 2MASS quasars. Here we present the data, measure the prominent spectral features, and separate emission due to star formation from that emitted by the dusty circumnuclear torus. We find that the mid-IR (5-30{mu}m) spectral shape for the torus is largely independent of quasar IR luminosity with scatter in the spectral energy distribution (SED) shape of <~0.2dex. Except for the silicate features, no large difference is observed between PG (unobscured --silicate emission) and 2MASS (obscured --silicate absorption) quasars. Only mild silicate features are observed in both cases. When in emission, the peak wavelength of the silicate feature tends to be longer than 9.7{mu}m, possibly indicating effects on grain properties near the active galactic nucleus. The IR color is shown to correlate with the equivalent width of the aromatic features, indicating that the slope of the quasar mid- to far-IR SED is to first order driven by the fraction of radiation from star formation in the IR bands.

- Description:
- We present spectroscopic results for all galaxies observed with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) that also have total infrared fluxes f_IR_ measured with the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), also using AKARI photometry when available. Infrared luminosities and spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from 8um to 160um are compared to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission from starburst galaxies or mid-infrared dust continuum from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at rest-frame wavelengths ~8um. A total of 301 spectra are analyzed for which IRS and IRAS include the same unresolved source, as measured by the ratio f_{nu}_(IRAS 25um)/f_{nu}_(IRS 25um). Sources have 0.004<z<0.34 and 42.5<logL_IR_<46.8(erg/s) and cover the full range of starburst galaxy and AGN classifications.
