- Description:
- We have used the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) to search for faint radio sources in a ~3deg^2^ region of sky covered by the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS, Cat. <VII/226>). Over the region surveyed, the 1{sigma} noise level at 1.4GHz ranges from 20Jy to 1mJy. The survey region includes 365 2dFGRS galaxies, of which 316 have good-quality spectra (176 early-type galaxies or active galactic nuclei, and 140 star-forming galaxies). The fraction of 2dFGRS galaxies detected as radio sources in our survey rises from ~4% at a 3{sigma} detection limit of 0.3mJy to 12% at 75{mu}Jy, with roughly equal numbers of star-forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) being detected.

- Description:
- We study the relationship between jet power and accretion for Fermi and non-Fermi blazars. We also compare the relevant parameter. Our main results are: (i) Fermi and non-Fermi blazars have significant differences in red shift, black hole mass and broad line luminosity. (ii) Fermi blazars have a higher average core-dominance parameter than non-Fermi blazars, which suggests that Fermi blazars have a strong beaming effect. (iii) We find a significant correlation between broad line emission and jet power for Fermi and non-Fermi blazars, which suggests a direct tight connection between jet and accretion. (iv) The accretion and black hole mass may have a different contribution to jet power for Fermi and non-Fermi blazars.

- Field early-type galaxies at 0.2<z<0.8
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/393/1467
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We explore the properties of 24 field early-type galaxies in the redshift range 0.20<z<0.75 down to M_B<=-19.30 in a sample extracted from the FORS Deep Field and the William Herschel Deep Field. Target galaxies were selected on the basis of a combination of luminosity, spectrophotometric type, morphology and photometric redshift or broad-band colours. High signal-to-noise intermediate-resolution spectroscopy has been acquired at the Very Large Telescope, complemented by deep high-resolution imaging with the Advanced Camera for Surveys onboard the HST and additional ground-based multi-band photometry. All galaxy spectra were observed under sub-arcsecond conditions and allow to derive accurate kinematics and stellar population properties of the galaxies. To clarify the low level of star formation detected in some galaxies, we identify the amount of active galactic nuclei (AGN) activity in our sample using archive data of Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray surveys. None of the galaxies in our sample were identified as secure AGN sources based on their X-ray emission. The rest-frame B and K-band scaling relations of the Faber-Jackson relation and the Fundamental Plane display a moderate evolution for the field early-type galaxies. Lenticular (S0) galaxies feature on average a stronger luminosity evolution and bluer rest-frame colours which can be explained that they comprise more diverse stellar populations compared to elliptical galaxies. The evolution of the FP can be interpreted as an average change in the dynamical (effective) mass-to-light ratio of our galaxies as <{Delta}log(M/L_B_)/z>=-0.74+/-0.08. The M/L evolution of these field galaxies suggests a continuous mass assembly of field early-type galaxies during the last 5Gyr, that gets support by recent studies of field galaxies up to z~1. Independent evidence for recent star formation activity is provided by spectroscopic (OII emission, Hdelta) and photometric (rest-frame broad-band colors) diagnostics. Based on the Hdelta absorption feature we detect a weak residual star formation for galaxies that accounts for 5%-10% in the total stellar mass of these galaxies. The co-evolution in the luminosity and mass of our galaxies favours a downsizing formation process. We find some evidence that our galaxies experienced a period of star formation quenching, possible triggered by AGN activity that is in good agreement with recent results on both observational and theoretical side.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The radio sources listed below were selected from the Jodrell-VLA Astrometric Survey and the Cosmic-Lens All-Sky Survey (part 1) and constitute a (non-complete) parent sample for the selection of flat-spectrum symmetric object candidates (the ones which show structure, when their VLA-A 8.4GHz data are analysed). The parent sample contains northern hemisphere objects with 8.4GHz flux densities greater than 100mJy, galactic latitudes greater than 10 degrees and 1.40-to-4.85GHz spectral indices (when known; if not, the source is kept in the sample) smaller than 0.50 (flat). The most relevant properties of the parent sample are listed in the Table.

- Free-form lensing grid solution for A1689
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/446/683
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We examine Abell 1689 non-parametrically, combining strongly lensed Hubble Space Telescope images and weak distortions from wider field Subaru imaging. Our model incorporates member galaxies to improve the lens solution. By adding luminosity-scaled member galaxy deflections to our smooth grid, we can derive meaningful solutions with sufficient accuracy to permit the identification of our own strongly lensed images, so our model becomes self-consistent. We identify 11 new multiply lensed system candidates and clarify previously ambiguous cases, in the deepest optical and near-infrared data to date from Hubble and Subaru. Our improved spatial resolution brings up new features not seen when the weak and strong lensing effects are used separately, including clumps and filamentary dark matter around the main halo. Our treatment means we can obtain an objective mass ratio between the cluster and galaxy components. We find a typical mass-to-light ratios of M/L_B_=21+/-14 inside the r<1arcmin region. Our model independence means we can objectively evaluate the competitiveness of stacking cluster lenses for defining the geometric lensing-distance-redshift relation in a model-independent way.

- FSVS Cluster Catalogue
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/369/1334
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We describe a large sample of 598 galaxy clusters and rich groups discovered in the data of the Faint Sky Variability Survey (FSVS). The clusters have been identified using a fully automated, semiparametric technique based on a maximum likelihood approach applied to Voronoi tessellation, and enhanced by colour discrimination. The sample covers a wide range of richness, has a density of ~28 clusters/deg^2^, and spans a range of estimated redshifts of 0.05<z<0.9 with mean <z>=0.345. Assuming the presence of a cluster red sequence, the uncertainty of the estimated cluster redshifts is assessed to be {sigma}~0.03. Containing over 100 clusters with z>0.6, the catalogue contributes substantially to the current total of optically selected, intermediate-redshift clusters, and complements the existing, usually X-ray selected, samples. The FSVS fields are accessible for observation throughout the whole year, making them particularly suited for large follow-up programmes. The construction of this FSVS Cluster Catalogue completes a fundamental component of our continuing programmes to investigate the environments of quasars and the chemical evolution of galaxies. We publish here the list of all clusters with their basic parameters, and discuss some illustrative examples in more detail. The full FSVS Cluster Catalogue, together with images and lists of member galaxies etc., will be issued as part of the 'NOAO (National Optical Astronomy Observatories) data products', and accessible at http://www.noao.edu/dpp/ . We describe the format of these data and access to them.

- Description:
- Radial velocities and central velocity dispersions are derived for 238 E/S0 galaxies from medium-resolution spectroscopy. New spectroscopic data have been obtained as part of a study of the Fundamental Plane distances and peculiar motions of early-type galaxies in three selected directions of the South Equatorial Strip, undertaken in order to investigate the reality of large-scale streaming motion; results of this study have been reported in Mueller et al. (1998ApJ...507L.105M). The new APM South Equatorial Strip Catalog (-17.5deg<{delta}<+2.5deg) (Raychaudhury & Lynden-Bell, 2000) was used to select the sample of field galaxies in three directions: (1) 15h10-16h10; (2) 20h30-21h50; (3) 00h10-01h30. The spectra obtained have a median S/N per {AA} of 23, an instrumental resolution (FWHM) of ~4{AA}, and the spectrograph resolution (dispersion) is ~100km/s. The Fourier cross-correlation method was used to derive the radial velocities and velocity dispersions. The velocity dispersions have been corrected for the size of the aperture and for the galaxy effective radius. Comparisons of the derived radial velocities with data from the literature show that our values are accurate to 40km/s. A comparison with results from Jorgensen et al. (1995MNRAS.276.1341J) shows that the derived central velocity dispersion have an rms scatter of 0.036 in log{sigma}. There is no offset relative to the velocity dispersions of Davies et al. (1987ApJS...64..581D).

- Galaxies angular momentum evolution
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/467/3140

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a MUSE (Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer) and KMOS (K-band Multi-Object Spectrograph) dynamical study 405 star-forming galaxies at redshift z=0.28-1.65 (median redshift <z>=0.84). Our sample is representative of the star-forming 'main sequence', with star formation rates of SFR=0.1-30M_{sun}_/yr and stellar masses M*=10^8^-10^11^M_{sun}_. For 49+/-4 per cent of our sample, the dynamics suggest rotational support, 24+/-3 per cent are unresolved systems and 5+/-2 per cent appear to be early-stage major mergers with components on 8-30kpc scales. The remaining 22+/-5 per cent appear to be dynamically complex, irregular (or face-on systems). For galaxies whose dynamics suggest rotational support, we derive inclination-corrected rotational velocities and show that these systems lie on a similar scaling between stellar mass and specific angular momentum as local spirals with j*=J/M*{prop.to}M*^2/3^ but with a redshift evolution that scales as j*{prop.to}M*^2/3^(1+z)^-1^. We also identify a correlation between specific angular momentum and disc stability such that galaxies with the highest specific angular momentum (log(j*/M*^2/3^)>2.5) are the most stable, with Toomre Q=1.10+/-0.18, compared to Q=0.53+/-0.22 for galaxies with log(j*/M*^2/3^)<2.5. At a fixed mass, the Hubble Space Telescope morphologies of galaxies with the highest specific angular momentum resemble spiral galaxies, whilst those with low specific angular momentum are morphologically complex and dominated by several bright star-forming regions. This suggests that angular momentum plays a major role in defining the stability of gas discs: at z~1, massive galaxies that have discs with low specific angular momentum are globally unstable, clumpy and turbulent systems. In contrast, galaxies with high specific angular momentum have evolved into stable discs with spiral structure where star formation is a local (rather than global) process.

- Galaxies in Hercules-Bootes region
- Short Name:
- J/other/AstBu/72
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We consider a sample of 412 galaxies with radial velocities V_LG_<2500km/s situated in the sky region of RA=13.0h-19.0h, Dec=+10{deg}...+40{deg} between the Local Void and the Supergalactic plane. One hundred and eighty-one of them have individual distance estimates. Peculiar velocities of the galaxies as a function of Supergalactic latitude SGB show signs of Virgocentric infall at SGB<10{deg} and motion from the Local Void at SGB>60{deg}. A half of the Hercules-Bootes galaxies belong to 17 groups and 29 pairs, with the richest group around NGC5353. A typical group is characterized by the velocity dispersion of 67km/s, the harmonic radius of 182kpc, the stellar mass of 4.3x10^10^M_{sun}_ and the virial- to-stellar mass ratio of 32. The binary galaxies have the mean radial velocity difference of 37km/s, the projected separation of 96kpc, the mean integral stellar mass of 2.6x10^9^M_{sun}_ and the mean virial-to-stellar mass ratio of about 8. The total dark-matter-to-stellar mass ratio in the considered sky region amounts to 37 being almost the same as that in the Local Volume.

- Description:
- In the region of the sky limited by the coordinates RA=7.0h...12.0h, Dec=0{deg}...+20{deg} and extending from the Virgo Cluster to the South Pole of the Local Supercluster, we consider the data on the galaxies with radial velocities V_LG_<~2000km/s. For 290 among them, we determine individual distances and peculiar velocities. In this region, known as the local velocity anomaly zone, there are 23 groups and 20 pairs of galaxies for which the estimates of virial/orbital masses are obtained. A nearby group around NGC3379 = Leo I and NGC3627 as well as the Local Group show the motion from the Local Void in the direction of Leo cloud with a characteristic velocity of about 400 km/s. Another rich group of galaxies around NGC3607 reveals peculiar velocity of about -420km/s in the frame of reference related with the cosmic background radiation. A peculiar scattered association of dwarf galaxies Gemini Flock at a distance of 8Mpc has the radial velocity dispersion of only 20km/s and the size of approximately 0.7Mpc. The virial mass estimate for it is 300 times greater than the total stellar mass. The ratio of the sum of virial masses of groups and pairs in the Leo/Can region to the sum of stellar masses of the galaxies contained in them equals 26, which is equivalent to the local average density {Omega}_m(local)_=0.074, which is 3-4 times smaller than the global average density of matter.
