- Description:
- We present a table of redshifts for 2907 galaxies and stars in the 145arcmin^2^ HST ACS GOODS-North, making this the most spectroscopically complete redshift sample obtained to date in a field of this size. We also include the redshifts, where available, in a table containing just under 7000 galaxies from the ACS area with K_s,AB_<24.5 measured from a deep K_s_ image obtained with WIRCam on the CFHT, as well as in a table containing 1016 sources with NUV_AB_<25 and 478 sources with FUV_AB_<25.5 (there is considerable overlap) measured from the deep GALEX images in the ACS area. Finally, we include the redshifts, where available, in a table containing the 1199 24um sources to 80uJy measured from the wider area Spitzer GOODS-North. The redshift identifications are greater than 90% complete to magnitudes of F435W_AB_=24.5, F850LP_AB_=23.3, and K_s,AB_=21.5, and to 24um fluxes of 250uJy. An extensive analysis of these data appear in a companion paper, but here we test the efficiency of color-selection techniques to identify populations of high-redshift galaxies and active galactic nuclei. We also examine the feasibility of doing tomography of the intergalactic medium with a 30m telescope.

- Description:
- We present the first results of the ESO/GOODS program of spectroscopy of faint galaxies in the Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S). 399 spectra of 303 unique targets have been obtained in service mode with the FORS2 spectrograph at the ESO/VLT, providing 234 redshift determinations (the median of the redshift distribution is at 1.04). The typical redshift uncertainty is estimated to be sigma_z_~0.001. Galaxies have been color selected in a way that the resulting redshift distribution typically spans from z=0.5 to 2. The reduced spectra and the derived redshifts are released to the community through the ESO web page http://www.eso.org/science/goods/

- Title:
- GOODS-S & UDS stellar mass catalogs from CANDELS
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/801/97
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the public release of the stellar mass catalogs for the GOODS-S and UDS fields obtained using some of the deepest near-IR images available, achieved as part of the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey project. We combine the effort from 10 different teams, who computed the stellar masses using the same photometry and the same redshifts. Each team adopted their preferred fitting code, assumptions, priors, and parameter grid. The combination of results using the same underlying stellar isochrones reduces the systematics associated with the fitting code and other choices. Thanks to the availability of different estimates, we can test the effect of some specific parameters and assumptions on the stellar mass estimate. The choice of the stellar isochrone library turns out to have the largest effect on the galaxy stellar mass estimates, resulting in the largest distributions around the median value (with a semi interquartile range larger than 0.1dex). On the other hand, for most galaxies, the stellar mass estimates are relatively insensitive to the different parameterizations of the star formation history. The inclusion of nebular emission in the model spectra does not have a significant impact for the majority of galaxies (less than a factor of 2 for ~80% of the sample). Nevertheless, the stellar mass for the subsample of young galaxies (age <100Myr), especially in particular redshift ranges (e.g., 2.2<z<2.4, 3.2<z<3.6, and 5.5<z<6.5), can be seriously overestimated (by up to a factor of 10 for <20Myr sources) if nebular contribution is ignored.

- Gravitational lensing of SN 1997ff
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/561/106
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We investigate the effects of gravitational lensing due to intervening galaxies on the recently discovered Type Ia supernova at z~1.7, SN 1997ff, in the Hubble Deep Field North. We find that it is possible to obtain a wide range of magnifications by varying the mass and/or the velocity dispersion normalization of the lensing galaxies. In order to be able to use SN 1997ff to constrain the redshift-distance relation, very detailed modeling of the galaxies to control the systematic effects from lensing is necessary. Thus, we argue that, based on our current limited knowledge of the lensing galaxies, it is difficult to use SN 1997ff to constrain the values of {Omega}_M_ and {Omega}_{Lambda}, or even to place severe limits on gray dust obscuration or luminosity evolution of Type Ia supernovae.

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present results from a systematic search for strong gravitational lenses in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) data. The search technique involves creating a sample of likely lensing galaxies, which we define as massive early-type galaxies in a redshift range 0.3<z<1.3. The target galaxies are selected by color and magnitude, giving a sample of 1092 galaxies. For each galaxy in the sample, we subtract a smooth description of the galaxy light from the z850-band data. The residuals are examined, along with true-color images created from the B_435_V_606_i_775_ data, for morphologies indicative of strong lensing. We present our six most promising lens candidates as well as our full list of candidates.

- Title:
- GRB-host galaxies photometry
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/778/128
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present observations and analysis of the host galaxies of 23 heavily dust-obscured gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by the Swift satellite during the years 2005-2009, representing all GRBs with an unambiguous host-frame extinction of A_V_>1mag from this period. Deep observations with Keck, Gemini, Very Large Telescope, Hubble Space Telescope, and Spitzer successfully detect the host galaxies and establish spectroscopic or photometric redshifts for all 23 events, enabling us to provide measurements of the intrinsic host star formation rates, stellar masses, and mean extinctions. Compared to the hosts of unobscured GRBs at similar redshifts, we find that the hosts of dust-obscured GRBs are (on average) more massive by about an order of magnitude and also more rapidly star forming and dust obscured. While this demonstrates that GRBs populate all types of star-forming galaxies, including the most massive, luminous systems at z{approx}2, at redshifts below 1.5 the overall GRB population continues to show a highly significant aversion to massive galaxies and a preference for low-mass systems relative to what would be expected given a purely star-formation-rate-selected galaxy sample. This supports the notion that the GRB rate is strongly dependent on metallicity, and may suggest that the most massive galaxies in the universe underwent a transition in their chemical properties ~9Gyr ago. We also conclude that, based on the absence of unobscured GRBs in massive galaxies and the absence of obscured GRBs in low-mass galaxies, the dust distributions of the lowest-mass and the highest-mass galaxies are relatively homogeneous, while intermediate-mass galaxies (~10^9^M_{sun}_) have diverse internal properties.

- 373 GRBs between 0.008<z<6.7
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- In this paper, we examine the spatial distribution of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using a sample of 373 objects. We subdivide the GRB data into two redshift intervals over the redshift range 0<z<6.7. We measure the two-point correlation function, {xi}(r), of the GRBs. In determining the separation distance of the GRB pairs, we consider two representative cosmological models: a cold dark matter universe plus a cosmological constant {Lambda}, with ({Omega}_m_,{Omega}_{Lambda}_)=(0.28,0.72), and an Einstein-de Sitter universe, with ({Omega}_m_,{Omega}_{Lambda}_)=(1,0). We find a z-decreasing correlation of the GRB distribution, which is in agreement with the predictions of the current structure formation theory. We fit a power-law model {xi}(r)=(r/r0)^-{gamma}^ to the measured {xi}(r) and obtain an amplitude and slope of r_0_=1235.2+/-342.6h^-1^Mpc and {gamma}=0.80+/-0.19, respectively (1{sigma} confidence level), over the scales r=200-10^4^h^-1^Mpc. Our results provide a supplement to the measurement of matter correlation on large scales, while the matter distribution below 200h^-1^Mpc is usually described by the correlation function of galaxies.

- Title:
- GRB with early-time optical emission
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/772/73
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a multi-wavelength analysis of Swift gamma-ray burst GRB 090727, for which optical emission was detected during the prompt {gamma}-ray emission by the 2m autonomous robotic Liverpool Telescope and subsequently monitored for a further two days with the Liverpool and Faulkes Telescopes. Within the context of the standard fireball model, we rule out a reverse shock origin for the early-time optical emission in GRB 090727 and instead conclude that the early-time optical flash likely corresponds to emission from an internal dissipation process. Putting GRB 090727 into a broader observational and theoretical context, we build a sample of 36 {gamma}-ray bursts (GRBs) with contemporaneous early-time optical and {gamma}-ray detections. From these GRBs, we extract a sub-sample of 18 GRBs, which show optical peaks during prompt {gamma}-ray emission, and perform detailed temporal and spectral analysis in {gamma}-ray, X-ray, and optical bands. We find that in most cases early-time optical emission shows sharp and steep behavior, and notice a rich diversity of spectral properties. Using a simple internal shock dissipation model, we show that the emission during prompt GRB phase can occur at very different frequencies via synchrotron radiation. Based on the results obtained from observations and simulation, we conclude that the standard external shock interpretation for early-time optical emission is disfavored in most cases due to sharp peaks ({Delta}t/t<1) and steep rise/decay indices, and that internal dissipation can explain the properties of GRBs with optical peaks during {gamma}-ray emission.
