171. Compact Groups in the UZC galaxy sample

Title:
Compact Groups in the UZC galaxy sample
Short Name:

Publisher:

Description:
Applying an automatic neighbour search algorithm to the 3D UZC galaxy catalogue (Falco et al., 1999, Cat. <J/PASP/111/438>) we have identified 291 compact groups (CGs) with radial velocity between 1000 and 10000km/s. The sample is analysed to investigate whether Triplets display kinematical and morphological characteristics similar to higher order CGs (Multiplets). It is found that Triplets constitute low velocity dispersion structures, have a gas-rich galaxy population and are typically retrieved in sparse environments. Conversely Multiplets show higher velocity dispersion, include few gas-rich members and are generally embedded structures. Evidence hence emerges indicating that Triplets and Multiplets, though sharing a common scale, correspond to different galaxy systems. Triplets are typically field structures whilst Multiplets are mainly subclumps (either temporarily projected or collapsing) within larger structures. Simulations show that selection effects can only partially account for differences, but significant contamination of Triplets by field galaxy interlopers could eventually induce the observed dependences on multiplicity.

Description:
The catalog is a compilation of ten published lists of compact groups of compact galaxies found on the Palomar Sky Survey red charts. The catalog contains 377 groups of compact galaxies and includes identifications, equatorial coordinates, numbers of constituent galaxies, magnitudes of the brightest member, sizes of the groups as a whole, and coefficients of relative compactness.
173. Compact Groups of galaxies from 2MASX

Title:
Compact Groups of galaxies from 2MASX
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/426/296
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a photometric catalogue of compact groups of galaxies (p2MCGs) automatically extracted from the Two-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) extended source catalogue. A total of 262 p2MCGs are identified, following the criteria defined by Hickson, of which 230 survive visual inspection (given occasional galaxy fragmentation and blends in the 2MASS parent catalogue). Only one quarter of these 230 groups were previously known compact groups (CGs). Among the 144 p2MCGs that have all their galaxies with known redshifts, 85 (59%) have four or more accordant galaxies. This v2MCG sample of velocity-filtered p2MCGs constitutes the largest sample of CGs (with N>=4) catalogued to date, with both well-defined selection criteria and velocity filtering, and is the first CG sample selected by stellar mass. It is fairly complete up to K_group_~9 and radial velocity of ~6000km/s.

Description:
We have recently extracted a catalog of compact groups of galaxies (CGs) from the Las Campanas Redshift Survey. This catalog of Las Campanas Compact Groups (LCCGs) contains 76 CGs with a median redshift of z_med_~0.08. The physical properties of these CGs are similar to those form Hickson (1982, Cat. <VII/213>) and the Barton et al. (1996AJ....112..871B) catalogs. Here, we present an atlas of our catalog and briefly describe its general properties.
175. Compact variable radio sources at 151MHz. I.
ID:

Title:
Compact variable radio sources at 151MHz. I.
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/315/839
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Cambridge Low-Frequency Synthesis Telescope has been used to produce a representative sample of low-frequency variable sources. 20 fields, each covering an area of approximately 9{deg}x9{deg}cosecDE, have been observed at 151MHz at between 2 and 10 epochs over the period from 1984 to 1996. At each epoch, maps were made with rms noise levels of typically 10^-15^mJy/beam. From a total of ~6000 sources detected on these maps, 207 are found for which the flux density variations between at least two epochs appear significant at greater than the 3{sigma} level. A numerical model is used to assess the true significance of the variability, given the analysis method adopted. This shows that for about half of the sources which appear to vary by >3{sigma} the variability is genuine. For the other half it is caused by random statistical fluctuations; most of the spurious variables vary by <=3.5{sigma} between a single pair of epochs. A catalogue of the variable sources is presented, which includes an estimate of the probability that a given source is a genuine variable. Fractional flux density variations of between 5 and 100% (typically 15-25%) have been detected on a range of time-scales from 1 to 12 years.
176. ComPRASS catalogue

Title:
ComPRASS catalogue
Short Name:
J/A+A/626/A7
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the first all-sky catalogue of galaxy clusters and cluster candidates obtained from joint X-ray-SZ detections using observations from the Planck satellite and the ROSAT all-sky survey (RASS). The catalogue contains 2323 objects and has been validated by careful cross-identification with previously known clusters. This validation shows that 1597 candidates correspond to already known clusters, 212 coincide with other cluster candidates still to be confirmed, and the remaining 514 are completely new detections. With respect to Planck catalogues, the ComPRASS catalogue is simultaneously more pure and more complete. Based on the validation results in the SPT and SDSS footprints, the expected purity of the catalogue is at least 84.5%, meaning that more than 365 clusters are expected to be found among the new or still-to-be-confirmed candidates with future validation efforts or specific follow-ups.

Continuous rise of bulges out of galactic disks
Short Name:

Description:
A key subject in extragalactic astronomy concerns the chronology and driving mechanisms of bulge formation in late-type galaxies (LTGs). The standard scenario distinguishes between classical bulges and pseudo-bulges (CBs and PBs, respectively), the first thought to form monolithically prior to disks and the second gradually out of disks. These two bulge formation routes obviously yield antipodal predictions on the bulge age and bulge-to-disk age contrast, both expected to be high (low) in CBs (PBs). Our main goal is to explore whether bulges in present-day LTGs segregate into two evolutionary distinct classes, as expected from the standard scenario. Other questions motivating this study center on evolutionary relations between LTG bulges and their hosting disks, and the occurrence of accretion-powered nuclear activity as a function of bulge stellar mass M* and stellar surface density {Sigma}*. In this study we have combined three techniques - surface photometry, spectral modeling of integral field spectroscopy data and suppression of stellar populations younger than an adjustable age cutoff with the code REMOVE YOUNG (RY) - toward a systematic analysis of the physical and evolutionary properties (e.g., M* , {Sigma}* and mass-weighted stellar age <t*>_M_ and metallicity <Z*>_M_, respectively) of a representative sample of 135 nearby (<=130Mpc) LTGs from the CALIFA survey that cover a range between 10^8.9^M_{sun}_ and 10^11.5^M_{sun}_ in total stellar mass M_*,T_. In particular, the analysis here revolves around <{delta}{mu}9G>, a new distance- and formally extinction-independent measure of the contribution by stellar populations of age >=9Gyr to the mean r-band surface brightness of the bulge. We argue that <{delta}{mu}9Gx > offers a handy semi-empirical tracer of the physical and evolutionary properties of LTG bulges and a promising means for their characterization.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The catalog is a complete summary of all observations of CO isotopes in galaxies up to spring 1984. It consists of seven tables. Refs.dat describes the reference for CO observations of galaxies. Telescop.dat describes the properties of the telescopes used for observations. Detect.dat and uprlmits.dat contain a compilation of data on galaxies that have been observed in CO. Most of the characteristics listed here are observed properties. The detected galaxies are listed first, followed by galaxies with upper limits. Upper limits are given for detected galaxies if the detection is disputed or if the limits refer to transitions or regions that have not yet been detected. Temp.dat is a comparison of the antenna temperature scales used in the references in this catalog. Maps.dat lists the coverage, resolution, observed structure of CO maps of galaxies, and notes.dat contains notes to tables.
179. Cool stars chromospheric activity catalog

Title:
Cool stars chromospheric activity catalog
Short Name:
J/A+A/616/A108
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Chromospheric activity monitoring of a wide range of cool stars can provide valuable information on stellar magnetic activity and its dependence on fundamental stellar parameters such as effective temperature and rotation. We compile a chromospheric activity catalogue of 4454 cool stars from a combination of archival HARPS spectra and multiple other surveys, including the Mount Wilson data that have recently been released by the NSO. We explore the variation in chromospheric activity of cool stars along the main sequence for stars with different effective temperatures. Additionally, we also perform an activity-cycle period search and investigate its relation with rotation. The chromospheric activity index, S-index, was measured for 304 main-sequence stars from archived high-resolution HARPS spectra. Additionally, the measured and archived S-indices were converted into the chromospheric flux ratio logR'HK. The activity-cycle periods were determined using the generalised Lomb-Scargle periodogram to study the active and inactive branches on the rotation-activity-cycle period plane. The global sample shows that the bimodality of chromospheric activity, known as the Vaughan-Preston gap, is not prominent, with a significant percentage of the stars at an intermediate-activity level around logR'HK=-4.75. Independently, the cycle period search shows that stars can lie in the region intermediate between the active and inactive branch, which means that the active branch is not as clearly distinct as previously thought. The weakening of the Vaughan-Preston gap indicates that cool stars spin down from a higher activity level and settle at a lower activity level without a sudden break at intermediate activity. Some cycle periods are close to the solar value between the active and inactive branch, which suggests that the solar dynamo is most likely a common case of the stellar dynamo.
180. Corotation radii for 153 galaxies of OSUBSGS

Description:
The potential-density phase-shift method (Zhang et al., 2007AJ....133.2584Z) is an effective new tool for investigating the structure and evolution of galaxies. In this paper, we apply the method to 153 galaxies in the Ohio State University Bright Galaxy Survey (OSUBGS) to study the general relationship between pattern corotation radii and the morphology of spiral galaxies. The analysis is based on near-infrared H-band images that have been deprojected and decomposed assuming a spherical bulge.
