- Description:
- As part of our program to map the large-scale distribution of galaxies behind the Milky Way, we used the Parkes 210 ft (64m) radio telescope for pointed HI observations of a sample of low surface-brightness (due to heavy obscuration) spiral galaxies selected from the deep optical Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) galaxy catalog in the Hydra/Antlia region (Kraan-Korteweg, 2000, Cat. <J/A+AS/141/123>). Searching a simultaneous velocity range of either 300 to 5500km/s or 300 to 10500km/s to an rms level of typically 2-4mJy resulted in detections in 61 of the 139 pointings, leading to a total of 66 detections (an additional detection was made in a reference position, and two other pointings revealed two and four independent signals respectively). Except for 2 strong HI emitters identified in the shallow Zone of Avoidance HI survey (Henning et al., 2000AJ....119.2686H), all HI detections are new.

- Description:
- We investigate the relation between star-formation activity and environment in six intermediate redshift clusters (z~0.25) out to large clustercentric distances (~4R_vir_). For that, we conducted a panoramic spectroscopic campaign with MOSCA at the Calar Alto observatory. We acquired spectra of more than 500 objects. Approximately 150 of these spectra were of galaxies that are members of the clusters. Other ~150 are field galaxies or galaxies belonging to groups, serendipitously found during the investigation. The rest of the spectra did not met the quality criteria or were stars. The wavelength range allows us to quantify the star formation activity by using the [OII] and the H{alpha} lines. This activity is examined in terms of the large-scale environment expressed by the clustercentric distance of the galaxies as well as on local scales given by the spatial galaxy densities. The suppression of the star-formation activity is observed at large clustercentric distances and low projected densities. Galaxies with current star-formation show similar activity, regardless of the environment, Therefore, the decline of the star-formation activity inside the investigated clusters is driven mainly by the significant change in the fraction of active versus passive populations. This suggests that the suppression of the star-formation activity occurs on short timescales. We also detect a significant population of red star-forming galaxies whose colors are consistent with the red-sequence of passive galaxies. They appear to be in an intermediate evolutionary stage between active and passive types.

- Description:
- We present the results of spectroscopic observations of galaxies associated with the diffuse X-ray emitting structure discovered by Zappacosta et al. (2002A&A...394....7Z). After measuring the redshifts of 161 galaxies, we confirm an overdensity of galaxies with projected dimensions of at least 2Mpc, determine its spectroscopic redshift in z=0.401+/-0.002, and show that it is spatially coincident with the diffuse X-ray emission. This confirms the original claim that this X-ray emission has an extragalactic nature and is due to the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM). We used this value of the redshift to compute the temperature of the emitting gas. The resulting value depends on the metallicity that is assumed for the IGM, and is constrained to be between 0.3 and 0.6keV for metallicities between 0.05 and 0.3solar, in good agreement with the expectations from the WHIM.

- Description:
- Lines of sight with multiple projected cluster-scale gravitational lenses have high total masses and complex lens plane interactions that can boost the area of magnification, or etendue, making detection of faint background sources more likely than elsewhere. To identify these new "compound" cosmic telescopes, we have found directions in the sky with the highest integrated mass densities, as traced by the projected concentrations of luminous red galaxies (LRGs). We use new galaxy spectroscopy to derive preliminary magnification maps for two such lines of sight with total mass exceeding ~3x10^15^M_{sun}_. From 1151 MMT Hectospec spectra of galaxies down to i_AB_=21.2, we identify two to three group- and cluster-scale halos in each beam. These are well traced by LRGs. The majority of the mass in beam J085007.6+360428 (0850) is contributed by Zwicky 1953, a massive cluster at z=0.3774, whereas beam J130657.5+463219 (1306) is composed of three halos with virial masses of 6x10^14^-2x10^15^M_{sun}_, one of which is A1682. The magnification maps derived from our mass models based on spectroscopy and Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometry alone display substantial etendue: the 68% confidence bands on the lens plane area with magnification exceeding 10 for a source plane of z_s_=10 are [1.2,3.8]arcmin^2^ for 0850 and [2.3,6.7]arcmin^2^ for 1306. In deep Subaru Suprime-Cam imaging of beam 0850, we serendipitously discover a candidate multiply imaged V-dropout source at z_phot_=5.03. The location of the candidate multiply imaged arcs is consistent with the critical curves for a source plane of z=5.03 predicted by our mass model. Incorporating the position of the candidate multiply imaged galaxy as a constraint on the critical curve location in 0850 narrows the 68% confidence band on the lens plane area with {mu}>10 and z_s_=10 to [1.8,4.2]arcmin^2^, an etendue range comparable to that of MACS 0717+3745 and El Gordo, two of the most powerful single cluster lenses known. The significant lensing power of our beams makes them powerful probes of reionization and galaxy formation in the early universe.

- Description:
- We aim to review the internal structure and dynamics of the Abell 1351 cluster, shown to host a radio halo with a quite irregular shape. Our analysis is based on radial velocity data for 135 galaxies obtained at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo. We combine galaxy velocities and positions to select 95 cluster galaxy members and analyse the internal dynamics of the whole cluster. We also examine X-ray data retrieved from Chandra and XMM archives. We measure the cluster redshift, <z>=0.325, the line-of-sight (LOS) velocity dispersion, {sigma}V~1500km/s, and the X-ray temperature, kT~9keV. From both X-ray and optical data independently, we estimate a large cluster mass, in the 1-4x10^15^h_70_^-1^M_{sun}_. We attribute the extremely high value of {sigma}V to the bimodality in the velocity distribution. We find evidence of a significant velocity gradient and optical 3D substructure. The X-ray analysis also shows many features in favour of a complex cluster structure, probably supporting an ongoing merger of substructures in Abell 1351. The observational scenario agrees with the presence of two main subclusters in the northern region, each with its brightest galaxy (BCG1 and BCG2), detected as the two most important X-ray substructures with a rest-frame LOS velocity difference of {Delta}V_rf_~2500km/s and probably being in large part aligned with the LOS. We conclude that Abell 1351 is a massive merging cluster. The details of the cluster structure allow us to interpret the quite asymmetric radio halo as a 'normal' halo plus a southern relic, strongly supporting a previous suggestion based only on inspection of radio and preliminary X-ray data.

- Description:
- We have carried out an investigation of the properties of low redshift EIS clusters using both spectroscopy and imaging data. We present new redshifts for 738 galaxies in 21 ESO Imaging Survey (EIS) Cluster fields. We use the "gap"-technique to search for significant overdensities in redshift space and to identify groups/clusters of galaxies corresponding to the original EIS matched filter cluster candidates. In this way we spectroscopically confirm 20 of the 21 cluster candidates with a matched-filter estimated redshift z_MF_=0.2. We have now obtained spectroscopic redshifts for 34 EIS cluster candidates with z_MF_=0.2 (see also Hansen et al., 2002, Cat. <J/A+A/388/1>; Olsen et al., 2003, Cat. <J/A+A/409/439>. Of those we spectroscopically confirm 32 with redshifts ranging from z=0.064 to 0.283. We find that: 1) the velocity dispersions of the systems range from sigma_v_<=130km/s to sigma_v_=1200km/s, typical of galaxy groups to rich clusters; 2) richnesses corresponding to Abell classes R<=1; and 3) concentration indices ranging from C=0.2 to C=1.2. From the analysis of the colours of the galaxy populations we find that 53% of the spectroscopically confirmed systems have a "significant" red sequence. These systems are on average richer and have higher velocity dispersions. We find that the colour of the red sequence galaxies matches passive stellar evolution predictions.

- Description:
- We report accurate redshifts of 110 active galaxies (mostly radio-loud objects at z<0.4) observed in the course of a survey to find broad, double-peaked emission lines. These redshifts are measured from the narrow emission lines of these objects and are accurate to at least one part in 10^4^. For each object we determine a redshift from high- and low-ionization lines separately, as well as an average redshift from all the available lines. We find that in about 15% of cases, the low-ionization lines yield a slightly higher redshift than the high-ionization lines; the average redshift difference amounts to a velocity difference of approximately 80km/s. In addition to the redshift measurements we also report revised redshifts for two objects as well as new classifications for three narrow-line objects.

- Description:
- We present redshifts for 115 emission-line objects in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field identified through the Grism ACS Program for Extragalactic Science (GRAPES) project using the slitless grism spectroscopy mode of the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The sample was selected by an emission-line search on all extracted one-dimensional GRAPES spectra. We identify the emission lines using line wavelength ratios where multiple lines are detected in the grism wavelength range (5800{AA}<~lambda<~9600{AA}), and using photometric redshift information where multiple lines are unavailable. We then derive redshifts using the identified lines.

- Description:
- This is the third and final paper (Yamada et al., 1993ApJS...89...57Y and Takata et al., Cat. <J/A+AS/104/529>) of our systematic visual search for IRAS galaxies behind the Milky Way at |b|<=15{deg}. This paper presents a catalog of 950 IRAS galaxies with 60{mu}m flux densities larger than 0.6Jy located between l=0{deg} and 150{deg}, of which 293 are newly identified by this search. We made a redshift survey for the identified galaxies and obtained new redshift data of 171 galaxies. We also present newly measured redshifts of 27 IRAS galaxies between l=150{deg} and 225{deg} at |b|<=15{deg}. In this paper we studied the structure of the Local void using IRAS galaxies and galaxies from the Third Reference Catalogue of Bright Galaxies (Cat. <VII/155>) in the region l=30{deg}-120{deg} and b=-50{deg} to +30{deg}. The center of the Local void turned out to be located at l~60{deg}, b~-15{deg}, and cz~2500km/s, and the size is about 2500km/s along the direction toward the center.

- Description:
- The list of the measured galaxies is given in Table 3 together with COSMOS coordinates and apparent magnitude. These parameters (plus diameter, axis ratio and position angle) were used to perform cross-identification with the PGC/LEDA objects after reduction to the RC3 system (de Vaucouleurs et al., 1990, see cat. <VII/155>). Both cross correlation results (from `rvsao') and emission line results (from `emsao') are presented. A few galaxies with published redshifts were also observed to derive our external error (see section 3 of the paper).
