Distances towards 6.7GHz methanol masers

Description:
Distances to most star forming regions are determined using kinematics, through the assumption that the observed radial velocity arises from the motion of the source with respect to the Sun resulting from the differential rotation of Galaxy. The primary challenge associated with the application of this technique in the inner Galaxy is the kinematic distance ambiguity. In this work, we aim to resolve the kinematic distance ambiguity towards a sample of 6.7GHz methanol masers, which are signposts of the early stages of massive star formation. We measured 21cm HI absorption spectra using the Very Large Array in C and CnB configurations. A comparison of the maximum velocity of HI absorption with the source velocity and tangent point velocity was used to resolve the kinematic distance ambiguity.

Description:
Current wide-area radio surveys are dominated by active galactic nuclei, yet many of these sources have no identified optical counterparts. Here we investigate whether one can constrain the nature and properties of these sources, using Fanaroff-Riley type II (FR II) radio galaxies as probes. These sources are easy to identify since the angular separation of their lobes remains almost constant at some tens of arcseconds for z>1. Using a simple algorithm applied to the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-cm survey, we obtain the largest FR II sample to date, containing over 104 double-lobed sources. A subset of 459 sources is matched to Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasars. This sample yields a statistically meaningful description of the fraction of quasars with lobes as a function of redshift and luminosity. This relation is combined with the bolometric quasar luminosity function and a disc-lobe correlation to obtain a robust prediction for the density of FR IIs on the radio sky. We find that the observed density can be explained by the population of known quasars, implying that the majority of powerful jets originate from a radiatively efficient accretion flow with a linear jet-disc coupling. Finally, we show that high-redshift jets are more often quenched within 100kpc, suggesting a higher efficiency of jet-induced feedback into their host galaxies.

Description:
We have performed a spectral line survey called Exploring Molecular Complexity with ALMA (EMoCA) toward Sagittarius B2(N) between 84.1 and 114.4GHz with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in its Cycles 0 and 1. Line intensities of the main isotopic species of ethyl cyanide and its singly ^13^C-substituted isotopomers observed toward the hot molecular core Sagittarius B2(N2) suggest that the doubly ^13^C-substituted isotopomers should also be detectable. We want to determine the spectroscopic parameters of all three doubly ^13^C-substituted isotopologues of ethyl cyanide to search for them in our ALMA data. We investigated the laboratory rotational spectra of the three species between 150GHz and 990GHz. We searched for emission lines produced by these species in the ALMA spectrum of Sagittarius B2(N2). We modeled their emission and the emission of the ^12^C and singly ^13^C-substituted isotopologues assuming local thermodynamic equilibrium.

Description:
We present results of deep polarization imaging at 1.4GHz with the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory as part of the DRAO Planck Deep Fields project. This deep extragalactic field covers 15.16deg^2^ centered at RA(J2000)=16:14 and DE(J2000)=54:56, has an angular resolution of 42"x62" at the field center, and reaches a sensitivity of 55uJy/beam in Stokes I and 45uJy/beam in Stokes Q and U. We detect 958 radio sources in Stokes I of which 136 are detected in polarization. We present the Euclidean-normalized polarized differential source counts down to 400uJy. These counts indicate that sources have a higher degree of fractional polarization at fainter Stokes I flux density levels than for brighter sources, confirming an earlier result. We find that the majority of our polarized sources are steep-spectrum objects with a mean spectral index of -0.77, and there is no correlation between fractional polarization and spectral index. We also matched deep field sources to counterparts in the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty Centimeters catalog. Of the polarized sources, 77% show structure at the arcsecond scale whereas only 38% of the sources with no detectable polarization show such structure. The median fractional polarization for resolved sources is 6.8%, while it is 4.4% for compact objects. The polarized radio sources in our deep field are predominantly those sources which are resolved and show the highest degrees of fractional polarization, indicating that the lobe dominated structure may be the source of the highly polarized sources. These resolved radio galaxies dominate the polarized source counts at P_0_=(Q^2^+U^2^)^0.5^<3mJy.

Description:
This catalog contains 1692 radio sources observed with the Penticton synthesis telescope at 408 MHz and at 1420 MHz. The catalog is comprised of sources detected in the P-surveys 1P through 9P, 12P through 15P, and 20P through 27P (see the "References" section below). The database was provided by R.Roger & C.R.Purton in May 1990 and an update of the data with further P-surveys is currently in progress.
437. E and SO galaxies survey at 2.7 and 5.0 GHz

E and SO galaxies survey at 2.7 and 5.0 GHz
Short Name:

Description:
This paper presents results from a continuum radio survey of a complete sample of 248 southern E and S0 galaxies. All the galaxies were observed at 2.7GHz (11cm) with the Parkes radio telescope, and those detected were reobserved at 5.0 GHz (6 cm). Thirty-seven galaxies were detected above a level of 25-30mJy, and a consideration of the background source density at 2.7GHz indicates that no more than two or three of these detections are due to background sources.

Early-type galaxies at z<0.04 star formation rates

Description:
We address the relation between star formation and active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity in a sample of 231 nearby (0.0002<z<0.0358) early-type galaxies by carrying out a multi-wavelength study using archival observations in the UV, IR, and radio. Our results indicate that early-type galaxies in the current epoch are rarely powerful AGNs, with P<10^22^W/Hz for a majority of the galaxies. Only massive galaxies are capable of hosting powerful radio sources while less massive galaxies are hosts to lower radio power sources. Evidence of ongoing star formation is seen in approximately 7% of the sample. The star formation rate (SFR) of these galaxies is less than 0.1M_{sun}_/yr. They also tend to be radio faint (P<10^22^W/Hz). There is a nearly equal fraction of star-forming galaxies in radio faint (P<10^22^W/Hz) and radio bright galaxies (P>=10^22^W/Hz) suggesting that both star formation and radio mode feedback are constrained to be very low in our sample. We notice that our galaxy sample and the Brightest Cluster Galaxies follow similar trends in radio power versus SFR. This may be produced if both radio power and SFR are related to stellar mass.

Description:
The sub-mJy radio population is a mixture of active systems, that is star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We study a sample of 883 radio sources detected at 1.4GHz in a deep Very Large Array survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South that reaches a best rms sensitivity of 6{mu}Jy. We have used a simple scheme to disentangle SFGs, radio-quiet (RQ), and radio-loud (RL) AGNs based on the combination of radio data with Chandra X-ray data and mid-infrared observations from Spitzer. We find that at flux densities between about 30 and 100{mu}Jy, the radio population is dominated by SFGs (~60%) and that RQ AGNs become increasingly important over RL ones below 100 {mu}Jy. We also compare the host galaxy properties of the three classes in terms of morphology, optical colours and stellar masses. Our results show that both SFG and RQ AGN host galaxies have blue colours and late-type morphology while RL AGNs tend to be hosted by massive red galaxies with early-type morphology. This supports the hypothesis that radio emission in SFGs and RQ AGNs mainly comes from the same physical process: star formation in the host galaxy.

Description:
In order to trace the instantaneous star formation rate (SFR) at high redshift, and thus help in understanding the relation between the different emission mechanisms related to star formation, we combine the recent 4-Ms Chandra X-ray data and the deep Very Large Array radio data in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South region. We find 268 sources detected both in the X-ray and radio bands. The availability of redshifts for ~95 per cent of the sources in our sample allows us to derive reliable luminosity estimates and the intrinsic properties from X-ray analysis for the majority of the objects.
