- Description:
- We present the results of our long-term (13 years) J and K photometry of the X-ray binary Cyg X-1. The object's JK variability amplitudes were less than 0.2mag. The J and K orbital light curves are appreciably asymmetric in quadratures. The secondary minimum is deeper, in comparison to the primary, and it is probable that the star becomes hotter at secondary minima.

- Description:
- Messier 35 (NGC 2168) is an important young nearby cluster. Its age, richness and relative proximity make it a privileged target for stellar evolution studies. The Kepler K2 mission recently observed it and provided high accuracy photometric time series of a large number of sources in this area of the sky. Identifying the cluster's members is therefore of high importance to optimize the interpretation and analysis of the Kepler K2 data. We aim at identifying the cluster's members by deriving membership probabilities for the sources within 1 degree of the cluster's center, going further away than equivalent previous studies. We measure accurate proper motions and multi-wavelength (optical and near-infrared) photometry using ground based archival images of the cluster. We use these measurements to compute membership probabilities. The list of candidate members from Barrado y Navascues et al. (2001ApJ...546.1006B, Cat. J/ApJ/546/1006) is used as training set to identify the cluster's locus in a multi-dimensional space made of proper motions, luminosities and colors. The final catalog includes 338892 sources with multi-wavelength photometry. Approximately half (194452) were detected at more than two epochs and we measured their proper motion and used it to derive membership probability. A total of 4349 candidate members with membership probabilities greater than 50% are found in this sample in the luminosity range between 10 and 22mag. The slow proper motion of the cluster and the overlap of its sequence with the field and background sequences in almost all color-magnitude and color-color diagrams complicate the analysis and the contamination level is expected to be significant. Our study nevertheless provides a coherent and quantitative membership analysis of Messier 35 based on a large fraction of the best ground-based data sets obtained over the past 18 years. As such, it represents a valuable input for follow-up studies using in particular the Kepler K2 photometric time series.

- Description:
- We present the large statistics of the galaxy effective radius Re in the rest-frame far-infrared (FIR) wavelength R_e(FIR)_ obtained from 1627 Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) 1mm band maps that become public by 2017 July. Our ALMA sample consists of 1034 sources with the star formation rate ~100-1000M_{sun}_/yr and the stellar mass ~10^10^-10^11.5^M_{sun}_ at z=0-6. We homogeneously derive R_e(FIR)_ and FIR luminosity LFIR of our ALMA sources via the uv-visibility method with the exponential disk model, carefully evaluating selection and measurement incompletenesses by realistic Monte-Carlo simulations. We find that there is a positive correlation between R_e(FIR)_ and LFIR at the >99% significance level. The best-fit power-law function, R_e(FIR)_{propto}L_FIR_^{alpha}^, provides {alpha}=0.28+/-0.07, and shows that R_e(FIR)_ at a fixed LFIR decreases toward high redshifts. The best-fit {alpha} and the redshift evolution of R_e(FIR)_ are similar to those of Re in the rest-frame UV (optical) wavelength R_e(UV)_ (R_e(Opt)_) revealed by Hubble Space Telescope (HST) studies. We identify that our ALMA sources have significant trends of R_e(FIR)_<~R_e(UV)_ and R_e(Opt)_, which suggests that the dusty starbursts take place in compact regions. Moreover, R_e(FIR)_ of our ALMA sources is comparable to R_e(Opt)_ of quiescent galaxies at z~1-3 as a function of stellar mass, supporting the evolutionary connection between these two galaxy populations. We also investigate rest- frame UV and optical morphologies of our ALMA sources with deep HST images, and find that ~30%-40% of our ALMA sources are classified as major mergers. This indicates that dusty starbursts are triggered by not only the major mergers but also the other mechanism(s).

- Description:
- The ESO Public Survey "VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea"' (VVV) provides deep multi-epoch infrared observations for unprecedented 562 sq. degrees of the Galactic bulge, and adjacent regions of the disk. The VVV observations will foster the construction of a sample of Galactic star clusters with reliable and homogeneously derived physical parameters (e.g., age, distance, and mass, etc.). In this first paper in a series, the methodology employed to establish cluster parameters for the envisioned database are elaborated upon by analysing four known young open clusters: Danks1, Danks2, RCW79, and DBS132. The analysis offers a first glimpse of the information that can be gleaned from the VVV observations for clusters in the final database. Wide-field, deep JHK_s_ VVV observations, combined with new infrared spectroscopy, are employed to constrain fundamental parameters for a subset of clusters. Results are inferred from VVV near-infrared photometry and numerous low resolution spectra (typically more than 10 per cluster). The high quality of the spectra and the deep wide-field VVV photometry enables us to precisely and independently determine the characteristics of the clusters studied, which we compare to previous determinations. An anomalous reddening law in the direction of the Danks clusters is found, specifically E(J-H)/E(H-Ks)=2.20+/-0.06, which exceeds published values for the inner Galaxy. The G305 star forming complex, which includes the Danks clusters, lies beyond the Sagittarius-Carina spiral arm and occupies the Centaurus arm. Finally, the first deep infrared colour-magnitude diagram of RCW79 is presented, which reveals a sizeable pre-main sequence population. A list of candidate variable stars in G305 region is reported. This study demonstrates the strength of the dataset and methodology employed, and constitutes the first step of a broader study which shall include reliable parameters for a sizeable number of poorly characterised and/or newly discovered clusters.

- Description:
- We present a method which uses colour-colour cuts on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometry to select white dwarfs with hydrogen-rich (DA) atmospheres without the recourse to spectroscopy. This method results in a sample of DA white dwarfs that is 95 per cent complete at an efficiency of returning a true DA white dwarf of 62 per cent. The approach was applied to SDSS Data Release 7 for objects with and without SDSS spectroscopy.

- Description:
- We present near- and mid-infrared photometry and spectroscopy from PAIRITEL, IRTF, and Spitzer of a metallicity-unbiased sample of 117 cool, hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarfs (WDs) from the Palomar-Green survey and find five with excess radiation in the infrared, translating to a 4.3^+2.7^_-1.2_% frequency of debris disks. This is slightly higher than, but consistent with the results of previous surveys. Using an initial-final mass relation, we apply this result to the progenitor stars of our sample and conclude that 1-7M_{sun}_ stars have at least a 4.3% chance of hosting planets; an indirect probe of the intermediate-mass regime eluding conventional exoplanetary detection methods. Alternatively, we interpret this result as a limit on accretion timescales as a fraction of WD cooling ages; WDs accrete debris from several generations of disks for ~10Myr. The average total mass accreted by these stars ranges from that of 200km asteroids to Ceres-sized objects, indicating that WDs accrete moons and dwarf planets as well as solar system asteroid analogs.

- 500days of ASASSN-18pg multiwavelength obs.

- Description:
- We present nearly 500 days of observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) ASASSN-18pg, spanning from 54 days before peak light to 441 days after peak light. Our data set includes X-ray, UV, and optical photometry, optical spectroscopy, radio observations, and the first published spectropolarimetric observations of a TDE. ASASSN-18pg was discovered on 2018 July 11 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) at a distance of d=78.6Mpc; with a peak UV magnitude of m~14, it is both one of the nearest and brightest TDEs discovered to-date. The photometric data allow us to track both the rise to peak and the long-term evolution of the TDE. ASASSN-18pg peaked at a luminosity of L~2.4x10^44^erg/s, and its late-time evolution is shallower than a flux {propto}t^-5/3^ power-law model, similar to what has been seen in other TDEs. ASASSN-18pg exhibited Balmer lines and spectroscopic features consistent with Bowen fluorescence prior to peak, which remained detectable for roughly 225days after peak. Analysis of the two-component H{alpha} profile indicates that, if they are the result of reprocessing of emission from the accretion disk, the different spectroscopic lines may be coming from regions between ~10 and ~60 lt-days from the black hole. No X-ray emission is detected from the TDE, and there is no evidence of a jet or strong outflow detected in the radio. Our spectropolarimetric observations indicate that the projected emission region is likely not significantly aspherical, with the projected emission region having an axis ratio of >~0.65.

- Description:
- Debris discs are a consequence of the planet formation process and constitute the fingerprints of planetesimal systems. Their counterparts in the solar system are the asteroid and Edgeworth-Kuiper belts. The aim of this paper is to provide robust numbers for the incidence of debris discs around FGK stars in the solar neighbourhood. The full sample of 177 FGK stars with d>=20pc proposed for the DUst around NEarby Stars (DUNES) survey is presented. Herschel/PACS observations at 100 and 160{mu}m were obtained, and were complemented in some cases with data at 70{mu}m and at 250, 350, and 500{mu}m SPIRE photometry. The 123 objects observed by the DUNES collaboration were presented in a previous paper. The remaining 54 stars, shared with the Disc Emission via a Bias-free Reconnaissance in IR and Sub-mm (DEBRIS) consortium and observed by them, and the combined full sample are studied in this paper. The incidence of debris discs per spectral type is analysed and put into context together with other parameters of the sample, like metallicity, rotation and activity, and age. The subsample of 105 stars with d>=15pc containing 23 F, 33 G, and 49 K stars is complete for F stars, almost complete for G stars, and contains a substantial number of K stars from which we draw solid conclusions on objects of this spectral type. The incidence rates of debris discs per spectral type are 0.26^+0.21^_-0.14_ (6 objects with excesses out of 23 F stars), 0.21^+0.17^_-0.11_ (7 out of 33 G stars), and 0.20^0.14^_-0.09_ (10 out of 49 K stars); the fraction for all three spectral types together is 0.22^+0.08^_-0.07_ (23 out of 105 stars). The uncertainties correspond to a 95% confidence level. The medians of the upper limits of L_dust_/L* for each spectral type are 7.8x10^-7^ (F), 1.4x10^-6^ (G), and 2.2x10^-6^ (K); the lowest values are around 4.0x10^-7^. The incidence of debris discs is similar for active (young) and inactive (old) stars. The fractional luminosity tends to drop with increasing age, as expected from collisional erosion of the debris belts.
