- Description:
- We present a new image of the 5.5GHz radio emission from the extended Chandra Deep Field South. Deep radio observations at 5.5GHz were obtained in 2010 and presented in the first data release. A further 76h of integration has since been obtained, nearly doubling the integration time. This paper presents a new analysis of all the data. The new image reaches 8.6{mu}Jy rms, an improvement of about 40% in sensitivity. We present a new catalogue of 5.5GHz sources, identifying 212 source components, roughly 50% more than were detected in the first data release. Source counts derived from this sample are consistent with those reported in the literature for S_5.5GHz_>0.1mJy but significantly lower than published values in the lowest flux density bins (S_5.5GHz_<0.1mJy), where we have more detected sources and improved statistical reliability. The 5.5GHz radio sources were matched to 1.4GHz sources in the literature and we find a mean spectral index of -0.35+/-0.10 for S_5.5GHz_>0.5mJy, consistent with the flattening of the spectral index observed in 5GHz sub-mJy samples. The median spectral index of the whole sample is {alpha}_med_=-0.58, indicating that these observations may be starting to probe the star-forming population. However, even at the faintest levels (0.05<S_5.5GHz_<0.1mJy), 39% of the 5.5GHz sources have flat or inverted radio spectra. Four flux density measurements from our data, across the full 4.5-6.5GHz bandwidth, are combined with those from literature and we find 10% of sources (S_5.5GHz_>~0.1mJy) show significant curvature in their radio spectral energy distribution spanning 1.4-9GHz.

- Description:
- Gas is a crucial component of galaxies, providing the fuel to form stars, and it is impossible to understand the evolution of galaxies without knowing their gas properties. The [CII] fine structure transition at 158{mu}m is the dominant cooling line of cool interstellar gas, and is the brightest of emission lines from star forming galaxies from FIR through meter wavelengths, almost unaffected by attenuation. With the advent of ALMA and NOEMA, capable of detecting [CII]-line emission in high-redshift galaxies, there has been a growing interest in using the [CII] line as a probe of the physical conditions of the gas in galaxies, and as a star formation rate (SFR) indicator at z>=4. In this paper, we have used a semi-analytical model of galaxy evolution (G.A.S.) combined with the photoionisation code CLOUDY to predict the [CII] luminosity of a large number of galaxies (25,000 at z~=5) at 4<=z<=8. We assumed that the [CII]-line emission originates from photo-dominated regions. At such high redshift, the CMB represents a strong background and we discuss its effects on the luminosity of the [CII] line. We studied the L[CII]-SFR and L[CII]-Zg relations and show that they do not strongly evolve with redshift from z=4 and to z=8. Galaxies with higher [CII] luminosities tend to have higher metallicities and higher star formation rates but the correlations are very broad, with a scatter of about 0.5 and 0.8dex for L[CII]-SFR and L[CII]-Zg, respectively. Our model reproduces the L[CII]-SFR relations observed in high-redshift star-forming galaxies, with [CII] luminosities lower than expected from local L[CII]-SFR relations. Accordingly, the local observed L[CII]-SFR relation does not apply at high-z (z~=5), even when CMB effects are ignored. Our model naturally produces the [CII] deficit (i.e. the decrease of L[CII]/LIR with LIR), which appears to be strongly correlated with the intensity of the radiation field in our simulated galaxies. We then predict the [CII] luminosity function, and show that it has a power law form in the range of L[CII] probed by the model with a slope {alpha}=-1. The slope is not evolving from z=4 to z=8 but the number density of [CII]-emitters decreases by a factor of 20x. We discuss our predictions in the context of current observational estimates on both the differential and cumulative luminosity functions. The outputs from the model are distributed as FITS-formatted files at the CDS.

- Description:
- Broadband photometry offers a time and cost effective method to reconstruct the continuum emission of celestial objects. Thus, photometric redshift estimation has supported the scientific exploitation of extragalactic multiwavelength surveys for more than twenty years. Deep fields have been the backbone of galaxy evolution studies and have brought forward a collection of various approaches in determining photometric redshifts. In the era of precision cosmology, with the upcoming Euclid and LSST surveys, very tight constraints are put on the expected performance of photometric redshift estimation using broadband photometry, thus new methods have to be developed in order to reach the required performance. We present a novel automatic method of optimizing photometric redshift performance, the classification-aided photometric redshift estimation (CPz). The main feature of CPz is the unified treatment of all classes of objects detected in extragalactic surveys: galaxies of any type (passive, starforming and starbursts), active galactic nuclei (AGN), quasi-stellar objects (QSO), stars and also includes the identification of potential photometric redshift catastrophic outliers. The method operates in three stages. First, the photometric catalog is confronted with star, galaxy and QSO model templates by means of spectral energy distribution fitting. Second, three machine-learning classifiers are used to identify 1) the probability of each source to be a star, 2) the optimal photometric redshift model library set-up for each source and 3) the probability to be a photometric redshift catastrophic outlier. Lastly, the final sample is assembled by identifying the probability thresholds to be applied on the outcome of each of the three classifiers. Hence, with the final stage we can create a sample appropriate for a given science case, for example favoring purity over completeness. We apply our method to the near- infrared VISTA public surveys, matched with optical photometry from CFHTLS, KiDS and SDSS, mid-infrared WISE photometry and ultra-violet photometry from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX). We show that CPz offers improved photometric redshift performance for both normal galaxies and AGN without the need for extra X-ray information.

- Description:
- We present the results of an isophotal shape analysis of three samples of galaxies in the Coma cluster. Quantitative morphology, together with structural and photometric parameters, is given for each galaxy. Special emphasis has been placed on the detailed classification of early-type galaxies. The three samples are: i) a sample of 97 early-type galaxies brighter than m_B_=17.00 falling within one degree from the center of the Coma cluster; these galaxies were observed with CCD cameras, mostly in good to excellent resolution conditions; ii) a magnitude complete sample of 107 galaxies of all morphological types down to m_B_=17.00 falling in a circular region of 50arcmin diameter, slightly offcentered to the North-West of the cluster center; the images for this and the next sample come from digitized photographic plates; iii) a complete comparison sample of 26 galaxies of all morphological types down to m_R_=16.05 (or m_B_=~17.5), also in a region of 50arcmin diameter, but centered 2.6degrees West of the cluster center. The reliability of our morphological classifications and structural parameters of galaxies, down to the adopted magnitude limits, is assessed by comparing the results on those galaxies for which we had images taken with different instrumentation and/or seeing conditions, and by comparing our results with similar data from other observers.

- Description:
- We study the classification and composite spectra of galaxies in the fourth data release (DR4) of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST). We select 40182 spectra of galaxies from LAMOST DR4, which have photometric information but no spectroscopic observations in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). These newly observed spectra are recalibrated and classified into six classes - passive, H{alpha}-weak, star-forming, composite, LINER and Seyfert - using the line intensity (H{beta}, [OIII] 5007, H{alpha} and [NII] 6585). We also study the correlation between spectral class and morphological type through three parameters: concentration index, (u-r) colour and D4000n index. We calculate composite spectra of high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) for six spectral classes and, using these composites, we pick out some features that can differentiate the classes effectively, including H{beta}, Fe5015, H{gamma}A, HK and the Mg2 band. In addition, we compare our composite spectra with the SDSS ones and analyse their differences. A galaxy catalogue of 40182 newly observed spectra (36601 targets) and the composite spectra of the six classes are available online (http://sciwiki.lamost.org/downloads/wll).

- Description:
- We present new spectroscopic observations in a field containing the highest redshift cluster of the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS). We measure galaxy redshifts and determine the velocity dispersions of the galaxy structures located in this field. Together with the main cluster Cl 1103.7-1245 (z=0.9580; {sigma}_clus_=522+/-111km/s) we find a secondary structure at z=0.9830, Cl 1103.7-1245c. We then characterize the galaxy properties in both systems. These new spectroscopic observations for Cl 1103.7-1245 complement the previous analysis of Milvang-Jensen et al. (2008, Cat. J/A+A/482/419), whose observations targetted z=0.70.

- Description:
- The aim of this work is twofold: first, to assess whether the population of elliptical galaxies in cluster at z~1.3 differs from the population in the field and whether their intrinsic structure depends on the environment where they belong; second, to constrain their properties 9Gyr back in time through the study of their scaling relations. We compared a sample of 56 cluster elliptical galaxies selected from three clusters at 1.2<z<1.4 with elliptical galaxies selected at comparable redshift in the GOODS-South field (~30), in the COSMOS area (~180), and in the CANDELS fields (~220). To single out the environmental effects, we selected cluster and field elliptical galaxies according to their morphology. We compared physical and structural parameters of galaxies in the two environments and we derived the relationships between effective radius, surface brightness, stellar mass, and stellar mass density {Sigma}_R_e__ within the effective radius and central mass density {Sigma}_1kpc_, within 1kpc radius. We find that the structure and the properties of cluster elliptical galaxies do not differ from those in the field: they are characterized by the same structural parameters at fixed mass and they follow the same scaling relations. On the other hand, the population of field elliptical galaxies at z~1.3 shows a significant lack of massive (M_*_>2x10^11^M_{sun}_) and large (R_e_>4-5kpc) elliptical galaxies with respect to the cluster. Nonetheless, at M_*_<2x10^11^M_{sun}_, the two populations are similar. The size-mass relation of cluster and field ellipticals at z~1.3 clearly defines two different regimes, above and below a transition mass m_t_~=2-3x10^10^M_{sun}_ at lower masses the relation is nearly flat (R_e_{prop}M*^-0.1+/-0.2^), the mean radius is nearly constant at ~1kpc and, consequently, {Sigma}_Re_~={Sigma}_1kpc_ while, at larger masses, the relation is R_e_{prop}M*^0.64+/-0.09^. The transition mass marks the mass at which galaxies reach the maximum stellar mass density. Also the {Sigma}_1kpc_-mass relation follows two different regimes, above and below the transition mass ({Sigma}_1kpc_{prop}M*_1.07<mt_^0.64>mt^) defining a transition mass density {Sigma}_1kpc_~=2-3x10^3^M_{sun}_/pc^2^. The effective stellar mass density {Sigma}_Re_ does not correlate with mass; dense/compact galaxies can be assembled over a wide mass regime, independently of the environment. The central stellar mass density, {Sigma}_1kpc_, besides being correlated with the mass, is correlated to the age of the stellar population: the higher the central stellar mass density, the higher the mass, the older the age of the stellar population. While we found some evidence of environmental effects on the elliptical galaxies as a population, we did not find differences between the intrinsic properties of cluster and field elliptical galaxies at comparable redshift. The structure and the shaping of elliptical galaxies at z~1.3 do not depend on the environment. However, a dense environment seems to be more efficient in assembling high-mass large ellipticals, much rarer in the field at this redshift. The correlation found between the central stellar mass density and the age of the galaxies beside the mass shows the close connection of the central regions to the main phases of mass growth.
