- Description:
- We report the results of searches for strong gravitational lens systems in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Science Verification and Year1 observations. The Science Verification data span approximately 250{deg}^2^ with a median i-band limiting magnitude for extended objects (10{sigma}) of 23.0. The Year 1 data span approximately 2000{deg}^2^ and have an i-band limiting magnitude for extended objects (10{sigma}) of 22.9. As these data sets are both wide and deep, they are particularly useful for identifying strong gravitational lens candidates. Potential strong gravitational lens candidate systems were initially identified based on a color and magnitude selection in the DES object catalogs or because the system is at the location of a previously identified galaxy cluster. Cutout images of potential candidates were then visually scanned using an object viewer and numerically ranked according to whether or not we judged them to be likely strong gravitational lens systems. Having scanned nearly 400000 cutouts, we present 374 candidate strong lens systems, of which 348 are identified for the first time. We provide the R.A. and decl., the magnitudes and photometric properties of the lens and source objects, and the distance (radius) of the source(s) from the lens center for each system.

- Candidate subdwarfs and white dwarfs
- Short Name:

- Description:
- Photometry from the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS), United States Naval Observatory CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC3) and SuperCosmos catalogues, together with proper motions from the Tycho-2, Kharkiv Proper Motions (XPM) and UCAC3 catalogues, is used to select all-sky samples of 28 candidate white dwarfs, 1826 evolved and 7641 unevolved subdwarfs for R from 9-17mag. The samples are separated from main-sequence stars with an admixture of less than 10 per cent, owing to an analysis of the distribution of the stars in colour index versus reduced proper-motion diagrams for various latitudes using related Monte Carlo simulations. It is shown that the XPM and UCAC3 catalogues have the same level of proper-motion accuracy. Most of the selected stars have at least six-band photometry. This allows us to eliminate some admixtures and reveal some binaries. Empirical calibrations of absolute magnitude versus colour index and reduced proper motion for Hipparcos stars give us distances and a three-dimensional (3D) distribution for all the selected stars. It is shown that the subdwarf samples are almost complete for the Tycho-2 stars, i.e. to 11mag or 150pc from the Sun. For fainter stars from the XPM and UCAC3 catalogues, the subdwarf samples are complete only to 20-60 per cent because of the selection method and incompleteness of the catalogues.

- Title:
- Cand. young OB stars from GALEX & Gaia DR2
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/883/8
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We combine Galaxy Evolution Explorer and Gaia DR2 catalogs to track star formation in the outskirts of our Galaxy. Using photometry, proper motions, and parallaxes we identify a structure of ~300 OB-type candidates located between 12 and 15kpc from the Galactic center that are kinematically cold. The structure is located between l=120{deg} and 200{deg}, above the plane up to ~700pc and below the plane to ~1kpc. The bulk motion is disklike; however, we measure a mean upward vertical motion of 5.7+/-0.4km/s, and a mean outward radial motion of between 8 and 16km/s. The velocity dispersion along the least dispersed of its proper-motion axes (perpendicular to the Galactic disk) is 6.0+/-0.3km/s, confirming the young age of this structure. While spatially encompassing the outer spiral arm of the Galaxy, this structure is not a spiral arm. Its explanation as the Milky Way warp is equally unsatisfactory. The structure's vertical extent, mean kinematics, and asymmetry with respect to the plane indicate that its origin is more akin to a wobble generated by a massive satellite perturbing the Galaxy's disk. The mean stellar ages in this outer structure indicate the event took place some 200Myr ago.

- Title:
- Cape AC Zone Data Reduced to ACRS
- Short Name:
- I/219
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The U.S. Naval Observatory is in the process of making new reductions of the Astrographic Catalogue (AC) using a modern reference system, the ACRS, which represents the system of the FK5. The data from the Cape Zone, whose plates are centered between declinations -41 and -51 degrees (eq. 1900), have been analyzed for scale, rotation, tilt, coma, magnitude equation, radial distortion and distortions introduced by the use of reseaux in the Carte du Ciel program. The result is a positional catalog of over 544,000 stars on eq. J2000.0, epoch of observation. Additionally, all stars have been matched with the Tycho Input Catalog (revised); those numbers have been added for additional identification purposes.

- Title:
- Cape Photographic Catalog 1950.0 (CPC)
- Short Name:
- I/116
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This catalog includes most of the stars from the 1900.0 Cordoba Zone Catalogues B and C in the zone -30 deg. -35 deg. at the equinox of 1925.0. Some of the fainter Cordoba stars have been omitted in the rather crowded regions in the Milky Way. The aim was to provide accurate places for an average of 9 to 10 stars per square degree as a reference for a rereduction of the AG positions. Most of the stars have visual magnitudes between 7 and 10. Positions and proper motions have been supplied from the General Catalogue for those stars that were too bright for accurate measurement on photographic plates. The positions are on the FK3 system for the equinox of 1950.0. The probable errors of the positions are nominally +/- 0.15" in both right ascension and declination. That of the proper motions should not exceed +/- 1.4"/century, or +/-14 in the units in which the proper motions expressed in arc are given in the catalog.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the Capodimonte Deep Field (OACDF), a deep field covering an area of 0.5{deg}^2^ in the B, V, R optical bands plus six medium-band filters in the wavelength range 773-913nm. The field reaches the following limiting magnitudes: B_AB_~25.3, V_AB_~24.8 and R_AB_~25.1 and contains ~50000 extended sources in the magnitude range 18<=R_AB_<=25.0. Hence, it is intermediate between deep pencil beam surveys and very wide but shallow surveys.

- Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy Survey VII. S0 galaxies
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/862/100
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Using high-quality optical images from the Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy Survey, we perform multicomponent decompositions of S0 galaxies (S0s) to derive accurate structural parameters to constrain their physical origin. Many S0s do not host prominent bulges. S0s have a broad distribution of bulge-to-total ratios (B/T) and Sersic indices (n), with average values of B/T=0.34+/-0.15 and n=2.62+/-1.02, qualitatively consistent with the notion that S0s define a parallel sequence with and may have evolved from spiral galaxies. This is further reinforced by the incidence of bars and lenses in S0s, which, when compared with the statistics in spirals, supports the idea that lenses are demised bars. However, despite their wide range of prominence, the bulges of S0s form a surprisingly uniform sequence on both the Kormendy and fundamental plane relations. There is no evidence for population dichotomy or other indications of differentiation into classical and pseudo bulges. Most of the S0s reside in the field and in groups; cluster environment is not a necessary condition for S0 production. The properties of S0 bulges show little correlation with environmental indicators, after the dependence of galaxy stellar mass on environment is taken into account. As the bulges of late-type spirals and S0s are intrinsically different, and environmental effects that may account for such evolution appear to be minimal, we conclude that late- type spirals are not plausible progenitors of S0s. The bulges of S0s likely formed at an early epoch, after which secular processes contributed little to their subsequent evolution.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Observational data on 132 faint (R magnitude = 9-17) red stars with carbon-star or late M-type spectra are presented in tables and briefly characterized. The data were collected in a survey of a 1000-sq deg region at high northern Galactic latitude (right ascension 8h15 to 17h30 and declination +29 to +38 deg) on low-dispersion 330-535-nm objective-prism plates obtained with the 61/91-cm Burrell Schmidt telescope at Kitt Peak Observatory.
