- Description:
- In this paper, we study the luminosity function and formation rate of short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs). First, we derive the Ep-Lp correlation using 16 sGRBs with redshift measurements and determine the pseudo redshifts of 284 Fermi sGRBs. Then, we use the Lynden-Bell c^-^ method to study the luminosity function and formation rate of sGRBs without any assumptions. A strong evolution of luminosity L(z){propto}(1+z)^4.47^ is found. After removing this evolution, the luminosity function is {Psi}(L){propto}L_0_^-0.29+/-0.01^ for dim sGRBs and {psi}(L){propto}L_0_^-1.07+/-0.01^ for bright sGRBs, with the break point 8.26x10^50^erg/s. We also find that the formation rate decreases rapidly at z<1.0, which is different from previous works. The local formation rate of sGRBs is 7.53 events Gpc^-3^/yr. Considering the beaming effect, the local formation rate of sGRBs including off-axis sGRBs is 203.31_-135.54_^+1152.09^ events Gpc^-3^/yr. We also estimate that the event rate of sGRBs detected by the advanced LIGO and Virgo is 0.85_-0.56_^+4.82^ events yr^-1^ for an NS-NS binary.

- 3{sigma} hard sample of XMDS survey
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/467/73
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Our goal is to probe the populations of obscured and unobscured AGN investigating their optical-IR and X-ray properties as a function of X-ray flux, luminosity and redshift within a hard X-ray selected sample with wide multiwavelength coverage. We selected a sample of 136 X-ray sources detected at a significance of >=3{sigma} in the 2-10keV band (F_2-10_>~10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s) in a ~1deg^2^ area in the XMM Medium Deep Survey (XMDS, Cat. <J/A+A/439/413>). The XMDS area is covered with optical photometry from the VVDS and CFHTLS surveys and infrared Spitzer data from the SWIRE survey. Based on the X-ray luminosity and X-ray to optical ratio, 132 sources are likely AGN, of which 122 have unambiguous optical - IR identification. The observed optical and IR spectral energy distributions of all identified sources are fitted with AGN/galaxy templates in order to classify them and compute photometric redshifts. X-ray spectral analysis is performed individually for sources with a sufficient number of counts and using a stacking technique for subsamples of sources at different flux levels. Hardness ratios are used to estimate X-ray absorption in individual weak sources.

- SIGMA: Keck spectra of z~2 gal. in CANDELS fields
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/830/14
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present results from a survey of the internal kinematics of 49 star-forming galaxies at z~2 in the CANDELS fields with the Keck/MOSFIRE spectrograph, Survey in the near-Infrared of Galaxies with Multiple position Angles (SIGMA). Kinematics (rotation velocity V_rot_ and gas velocity dispersion {sigma}_g_) are measured from nebular emission lines which trace the hot ionized gas surrounding star-forming regions. We find that by z~2, massive star-forming galaxies (logM_*_/M_{sun}_>~10.2) have assembled primitive disks: their kinematics are dominated by rotation, they are consistent with a marginally stable disk model, and they form a Tully-Fisher relation. These massive galaxies have values of V_rot_/{sigma}_g_ that are factors of 2-5 lower than local well-ordered galaxies at similar masses. Such results are consistent with findings by other studies. We find that low-mass galaxies (logM_*_/M_{sun}_<~10.2) at this epoch are still in the early stages of disk assembly: their kinematics are often dominated by gas velocity dispersion and they fall from the Tully-Fisher relation to significantly low values of V_rot_. This "kinematic downsizing" implies that the process(es) responsible for disrupting disks at z~2 have a stronger effect and/or are more active in low-mass systems. In conclusion, we find that the period of rapid stellar mass growth at z~2 is coincident with the nascent assembly of low-mass disks and the assembly and settling of high-mass disks.
1244. SiIV absorption systems

- Title:
- SiIV absorption systems
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We identified 24 SiIV absorption systems with z<~1 from a blind survey of 49 low-redshift quasars with archival Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet spectra. We relied solely on the characteristic wavelength separation of the doublet to automatically detect candidates. After visual inspection, we defined a sample of 20 definite (group G=1) and 4 "highly likely" (G=2) doublets with rest equivalent widths W_r_ for both lines detected at >=3{sigma}_W_r__.

- SiIV and NV absorption line SDSS quasar systems
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/243/2
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Using the quasar spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and with variable C IV absorption line systems, we measure the Si IV and N V absorption line systems. We obtain 50 variable Si IV absorption line systems and 39 variable N V absorption line systems. We find that the variations in most of the C IV, Si IV, and N V absorption lines are correlated with the changes in quasar continuum. In addition, a significant portion of the variable absorption lines are the consistent variations of multiple systems with large velocity separations. Therefore, the variations of the C IV, Si IV, and N V absorption lines could be mainly driven by the changes in quasar radiations, which cause changes in ionization states or column densities of absorbing gas. We also find that the variable C IV, Si IV, and N V absorption line systems can be divided into low-ionization systems and high-ionization systems. The former positively responds to the changes in the quasar's brightness, and the later is the oppositive case.

- SINS survey of high-redshift galaxies
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/706/1364
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the Spectroscopic Imaging survey in the near-infrared (near-IR) with SINFONI (SINS) of high-redshift galaxies. With 80 objects observed and 63 detected in at least one rest-frame optical nebular emission line, mainly H{alpha}, SINS represents the largest survey of spatially resolved gas kinematics, morphologies, and physical properties of star-forming galaxies at z~1-3. We describe the selection of the targets, the observations, and the data reduction. We then focus on the "SINS H{alpha} sample," consisting of 62 rest-UV/optically selected sources at 1.3<z<2.6 for which we targeted primarily the H{alpha} and [NII] emission lines. Only ~30% of this sample had previous near-IR spectroscopic observations. The galaxies were drawn from various imaging surveys with different photometric criteria; as a whole, the SINS H{alpha} sample covers a reasonable representation of massive M_*_>~10^10^M_{sun}_ star-forming galaxies at z~1.5-2.5, with some bias toward bluer systems compared to pure K-selected samples due to the requirement of secure optical redshift. The H{alpha} morphologies tend to be irregular and/or clumpy. About one-third of the SINS H{alpha} sample galaxies are rotation-dominated yet turbulent disks, another one-third comprises compact and velocity dispersion-dominated objects, and the remaining galaxies are clear interacting/merging systems; the fraction of rotation-dominated systems increases among the more massive part of the sample.

- Sizes of MRC radio galaxies and QSOs

- Description:
- In the currently popular orientation-based unified scheme, a radio galaxy appears as a quasar when its principal radio-axis happens to be oriented within a certain cone opening angle around the observer's line of sight. Due to geometrical projection, the observed sizes of quasars should therefore appear smaller than those of radio galaxies. We show that this simple, unambiguous prediction of the unified scheme is not borne out by the actually observed angular sizes of radio galaxies and quasars. Except in the original 3CR sample, based on which the unified scheme was proposed, in other much larger samples no statistically significant difference is apparent in the size distributions of radio galaxies and quasars. The population of low-excitation radio galaxies with apparently no hidden quasars inside, which might explain the observed excess number of radio galaxies at low redshifts, cannot account for the absence of any foreshortening of the sizes of quasars at large redshifts. On the other hand, from infrared and X-ray studies, there is evidence of a hidden quasar within a dusty torus in many radio galaxies, at z>0.5. It is difficult to reconcile this with the absence of foreshortening of quasar sizes at even these redshifts, and perhaps one has to allow that the major radio axis may not have anything to do with the optical axis of the torus. Otherwise, to resolve the dichotomy of radio galaxies and quasars, a scheme quite different from the present might be required.

- SLACS. XIII. Galaxy-scale strong lens candidates
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/851/48
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the full sample of 118 galaxy-scale strong-lens candidates in the Sloan Lens ACS (SLACS) Survey for the Masses (S4TM) Survey, which are spectroscopically selected from the final data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Follow-up Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging observations confirm that 40 candidates are definite strong lenses with multiple lensed images. The foreground-lens galaxies are found to be early-type galaxies (ETGs) at redshifts 0.06-0.44, and background sources are emission-line galaxies at redshifts 0.22-1.29. As an extension of the SLACS Survey, the S4TM Survey is the first attempt to preferentially search for strong-lens systems with relatively lower lens masses than those in the pre-existing strong-lens samples. By fitting HST data with a singular isothermal ellipsoid model, we find that the total projected mass within the Einstein radius of the S4TM strong-lens sample ranges from 3x10^10^M_{sun}_ to 2x10^11^M_{sun}_. In Shu+ (2015ApJ...803...71S), we have derived the total stellar mass of the S4TM lenses to be 5x10^10^M_{sun}_ to 1x10^12^M_{sun}_. Both the total enclosed mass and stellar mass of the S4TM lenses are on average almost a factor of 2 smaller than those of the SLACS lenses, which also represent the typical mass scales of the current strong-lens samples. The extended mass coverage provided by the S4TM sample can enable a direct test, with the aid of strong lensing, for transitions in scaling relations, kinematic properties, mass structure, and dark-matter content trends of ETGs at intermediate-mass scales as noted in previous studies.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This paper documents the 16th data release (DR16) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS), the fourth and penultimate from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). This is the first release of data from the Southern Hemisphere survey of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2); new data from APOGEE-2 North are also included. DR16 is also notable as the final data release for the main cosmological program of the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS), and all raw and reduced spectra from that project are released here. DR16 also includes all the data from the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey and new data from the SPectroscopic IDentification of ERosita Survey programs, both of which were co-observed on eBOSS plates. DR16 has no new data from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey (or the MaNGA Stellar Library "MaStar").
