Description:
We use 101 galaxies selected from the Nearby Field Galaxy Survey to investigate the effect of aperture size on the star formation rate, metallicity, and reddening determinations for galaxies. Our sample includes galaxies of all Hubble types except ellipticals with global star formation rates (SFRs) ranging from 0.01 to 100M_{sun}_/yr, metallicities in the range 7.9<~log(O/H)+12<~9.0, and reddening of 0<~A(V)<~3.3. We compare the SFR, metallicity, and reddening derived from nuclear spectra to those derived from integrated spectra.

Description:
We present an archival analysis of Chandra X-ray observations for 12 nearby early-type galaxies hosting radio sources with radio power >1023W/Hz at 1.4GHz, similar to the radio power of the radio source in NGC4261. Previously, in a similar analysis of eight nearby X-ray and optically bright elliptical galaxies, Werner et al. found that NGC4261 exhibited unusually low central gas entropy compared to the full sample. In the central 0.3kpc of NGC4261, the ratio of cooling time to freefall time (tcool/tff) is less than 10, indicating that cold clouds may be precipitating out of the hot ambient medium and providing fuel for accretion in the central region. NGC4261 also hosts the most powerful radio source in the original sample. Because NGC4261 may represent an important phase during which powerful feedback from a central active galactic nucleus (AGN) is fueled by multiphase condensation in the central kiloparsec, we searched the Chandra archive for analogs to NGC4261. We present entropy profiles of those galaxies, as well as profiles of tcool/tff. We find that one of them, IC4296, exhibits properties similar to NGC4261, including the presence of only single-phase gas outside of r~2kpc and a similar central velocity dispersion. We compare the properties of NGC4261 and IC4296 to hydrodynamic simulations of AGN feedback fueled by precipitation. Over the course of those simulations, the single-phase galaxy has an entropy gradient that remains similar to the entropy profiles inferred from our observations.

Description:
We report the relationship between the luminosities of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the rates of star formation (SF) for a sample of 323 far-infrared (FIR)-detected AGNs. This sample has a redshift range of 0.2<z<2.5, and spans three orders of magnitude in luminosity, L_X_~10^42-45^erg/s. We find that in AGN hosts, the total infrared (IR) luminosity (8-1000um) has a significant AGN contribution (average ~20 per cent), and we suggest using the FIR luminosity (30-1000um) as a more reliable star formation rate (SFR) estimator. We conclude that monochromatic luminosities at 60 and 100um are also good SFR indicators with negligible AGN contributions, being less sensitive than integrated IR luminosities to the shape of the AGN spectral energy distribution (SED), which is uncertain at {lambda}>100um. Significant bivariate L_X_-L_IR_ correlations are found, which remain significant in the combined sample when using residual partial correlation analysis to account for the inherent redshift dependence. No redshift or mass dependence is found for the ratio between SFR and black hole accretion rate (BHAR), which has a mean and scatter of log(SFR/BHAR)=3.1+/-0.5, agreeing with the local mass ratio between supermassive black hole and host galaxies. The large scatter in this ratio and the strong AGN-SF correlation found in these IR-bright AGNs are consistent with the scenario of an AGN-SF dependence on a common gas supply, regardless of the evolutionary model.

Description:
We present a new sample of northern isolated galaxies, which are defined by the physical criterion that they were not affected by other galaxies in their evolution during the last few Gyr. To find them we used the logarithmic ratio, f, between inner and tidal forces acting upon the candidate galaxy by a possible perturber.

Properties of OB associations in IC 1613

Description:
To understand the structure and evolution of massive stars, systematic surveys of the Local Group galaxies have been undertaken, to find these objects in environments of different chemical abundances. We focus on the metal-poor irregular galaxy IC 1613 to analyze the stellar and wind structure of its low-metallicity massive stars. We ultimately aim to study the metallicity-dependent driving mechanism of the winds of blue massive stars and use metal-poor massive stars of the Local Volume as a proxy for the stars in the early Universe. In a previous paper we produced a list of OB associations in IC 1613. Their properties are not only a powerful aid towards finding the most interesting candidate massive stars, but also reveal the structure and recent star formation history of the galaxy. We characterize these OB associations and study their connection with the galactic global properties. The reddening-free Q parameter is a powerful tool in the photometric analysis of young populations of massive stars, since it exhibits a smaller degree of degeneracy with OB spectral types than the B-V color. The color-magnitude diagram (Q vs. V) of the OB associations in IC 1613 is studied to determine their age and mass, and confirm the population of young massive stars. We identified more than 10 stars with M>=50M_{sun}_. Spectral classification available for some of them confirm their massive nature, yet we find the common discrepancy with the spectroscopically derived masses. There is a general increasing trend of the mass of the most massive member with the number of members of each association, but not with the stellar density. The average diameter of the associations of this catalog is 40pc, half the historically considered typical size of OB associations. Size increases with the association population. The distribution of the groups strongly correlates with that of neutral and ionized hydrogen. We find the largest dispersion of association ages in the bubble region of the galaxy where hydrogen is abundant, implying that recent star formation has proceeded over a longer period of time than in the rest of the galaxy, and is still ongoing. Very young associations are found at the west of the galaxy far from the bubble region, traditionally considered the sole locus of star formation, but still rich in neutral hydrogen. The contrast in the stellar properties derived from photometry and spectroscopy (when the latter is available) shows that the Q pseudo-color is very useful for estimating the parameters of OB stars when only photometric observations exist. This work helped define an extensive pool of candidate OB stars for subsequent spectroscopic analyses designed to study the structure and winds of metal-poor massive stars.

Description:
A sample of 18286 radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) is presented, constructed by combining the seventh data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with the NRAO (National Radio Astronomy Observatory) VLA (Very Large Array) Sky Survey (NVSS) and the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty centimetres (FIRST) survey. Using this sample, the differences between radio galaxies of "high-excitation" ("quasar-mode"; hereafter HERG) and "low-excitation" ("radio-mode"; LERG) are investigated.

Description:
We present Keck-Adaptive Optics and Hubble Space Telescope high resolution near-infrared (IR) imaging for 500{mu}m bright candidate lensing systems identified by the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey and Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey. Out of 87 candidates with near-IR imaging, 15 (~17%) display clear near-IR lensing morphologies. We present near-IR lens models to reconstruct and recover basic rest-frame optical morphological properties of the background galaxies from 12 new systems. Sources with the largest near-IR magnification factors also tend to be the most compact, consistent with the size bias predicted from simulations and previous lensing models for submillimeter galaxies (SMGs). The rest-frame optical properties of our sample of Herschel-selected lensed SMGs are consistent with those of unlensed SMGs, which suggests that the two populations are similar.

Properties of 500 SNe and their 419 hosts

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present an analysis of the impact of bars and bulges on the radial distributions of the different types of supernovae (SNe) in the stellar discs of host galaxies with various morphologies. We use a well-defined sample of 500 nearby (<=100Mpc) SNe and their low-inclined (i<=60deg) and morphologically non-disturbed S0-Sm host galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that in Sa-Sm galaxies, all core-collapse (CC) and vast majority of SNe Ia belong to the disc, rather than the bulge component. The radial distribution of SNe Ia in S0-S0/a galaxies is inconsistent with their distribution in Sa-Sm hosts, which is probably due to the contribution of the outer bulge SNe Ia in S0-S0/a galaxies. In Sa-Sbc galaxies, the radial distribution of CC SNe in barred hosts is inconsistent with that in unbarred ones, while the distributions of SNe Ia are not significantly different. At the same time, the radial distributions of both types of SNe in Sc-Sm galaxies are not affected by bars. We propose that the additional mechanism shaping the distributions of Type Ia and CC SNe can be explained within the framework of substantial suppression of massive star formation in the radial range swept by strong bars, particularly in early-type spirals. The radial distribution of CC SNe in unbarred Sa-Sbc galaxies is more centrally peaked and inconsistent with that in unbarred Sc-Sm hosts, while the distribution of SNe Ia in unbarred galaxies is not affected by host morphology. These results can be explained by the distinct distributions of massive stars in the discs of early- and late-type spirals.

Properties of 407 SNe and their 394 hosts

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present an analysis of the light curve (LC) decline rates ({DELTA}m_15_) of 407 normal and peculiar supernovae (SNe) Ia and global parameters of their host galaxies. As previously known, there is a significant correlation between the {DELTA}m_15_ of normal SNe Ia and global ages (morphologies, colours, and masses) of their hosts. On average, those normal SNe Ia that are in galaxies from the Red Sequence (early-type, massive, old hosts) have faster declining LCs in comparison with those from the Blue Cloud (late-type, less massive, younger hosts) of the colour-mass diagram. The observed correlations between the {DELTA}m_15_ of normal SNe Ia and hosts' parameters appear to be due to the superposition of at least two distinct populations of faster and slower declining normal SNe Ia from older and younger stellar components. We show, for the first time, that the {DELTA}m_15_ of 91bg- and 91T-like SNe is independent of host morphology and colour. The distribution of hosts on the colour-mass diagram confirms the known tendency for 91bg-like SNe to occur in globally red/old galaxies, while 91T-like events prefer blue/younger hosts. On average, the youngest global ages of 02cx-like SNe hosts and their positions in the colour-mass diagram hint that these events likely originate from young population, but they differ from 91T-like events in the LC decline rate. Finally, we discuss the possible explosion channels and present our favoured SN Ia models that have the potential to explain the observed SN-host relations.

Description:
We present an analysis of the impact of spiral density waves (DWs) on the radial and surface density distributions of supernovae (SNe) in host galaxies with different arm classes. We use a well-defined sample of 269 relatively nearby, low-inclination, morphologically non-disturbed and unbarred Sa-Sc galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, hosting 333 SNe. Only for core-collapse (CC) SNe, a significant difference appears when comparing their R_25_-normalized radial distributions in long-armed grand-design (LGD) versus non-GD (NGD) hosts, with that in LGD galaxies being marginally inconsistent with an exponential profile, while SNe Ia exhibit exponential surface density profiles regardless of the arm class. Using a smaller sample of LGD galaxies with estimated corotation radii (R_C_), we show that the R_C_-normalized surface density distribution of CC SNe indicates a dip at corotation. Although not statistically significant, the high CC SNe surface density just inside and outside corotation may be the sign of triggered massive star formation by the DWs. Our results may, if confirmed with larger samples, support the large-scale shock scenario induced by spiral DWs in LGD galaxies, which predicts a higher star formation efficiency around the shock fronts, avoiding the corotation region.
