- Description:
- A deep survey of the European Large-Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) field in the southern celestial hemisphere (hereinafter S1) has been carried out with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) at 1.4GHz. The S1 region, covering about 4deg^2^, has also been surveyed in the mid- and far-infrared (5-200mm) with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). The radio survey provides uniform coverage of the entire S1 region, with a sensitivity (5{sigma}) of 0.4mJy over the whole area and 0.2mJy in the centre. To this sensitivity, virtually all the radio counterparts of the far-infrared extragalactic ISO sources should be detected. This paper presents a radio sample -- complete at the 5{sigma} level -- consisting of 581 sources detected at 1.4GHz. Of these radio sources, 349 have peak flux density in the range 0.2-1mJy, forming a new homogeneous sample of sub-mJy radio sources. Due to its size, depth and multiwaveband coverage, the sample will allow us to study in greater detail the sub-mJy radio source population.

- Description:
- We present physical properties [redshifts (z), star-formation rates (SFRs) and stellar masses (M*)] of bright (S_850_>=4mJy) submm galaxies in the ~=2deg^2^ COSMOS and UDS fields selected with SCUBA-2/JCMT. We complete the galaxy identification process for all (~=2000) S/N>=3.5 850-{mu}m sources, but focus our scientific analysis on a high-quality subsample of 651 S/N>=4 sources with complete multiwavelength coverage including 1.1-mm imaging. We check the reliability of our identifications, and the robustness of the SCUBA-2 fluxes by revisiting the recent ALMA follow-up of 29 sources in our sample. Considering >4mJy ALMA sources, our identification method has a completeness of ~=86 per cent with a reliability of ~=92 per cent, and only ~=15-20 per cent of sources are significantly affected by multiplicity (when a secondary component contributes >1/3 of the primary source flux). The impact of source blending on the 850-{mu}m source counts as determined with SCUBA-2 is modest; scaling the single-dish fluxes by ~=0.9 reproduces the ALMA source counts. For our final SCUBA-2 sample, we find median z=2.40^+0.10^_-0.04_, SFR=287+/-6M_{sun}_/yr and log(M*/M_{sun)_=11.12+/-0.02 (the latter for 349/651 sources with optical identifications). These properties clearly locate bright submm galaxies on the high-mass end of the 'main sequence' of star-forming galaxies out to z~= 6, suggesting that major mergers are not a dominant driver of the high-redshift submm-selected population. Their number densities are also consistent with the evolving galaxy stellar mass function. Hence, the submm galaxy population is as expected, albeit reproducing the evolution of the main sequence of star-forming galaxies remains a challenge for theoretical models/simulations.

- Jet collimation in NGC 315

- J/A+A/647/A67

- Description:
- The collimation of relativistic jets in galaxies is a poorly understood process. Detailed radio studies of the jet collimation region have been performed so far in a few individual objects, providing important constraints for jet formation models. However, the extent of the collimation zone as well as the nature of the external medium possibly confining the jet are still debated. In this article, we present a multifrequency and multiscale analysis of the radio galaxy NGC 315, including the use of mm-VLBI data up to 86GHz, aimed at revealing the evolution of the jet collimation profile. We then consider results from the literature to compare the jet expansion profile in a sample of 27 low-redshift sources, mainly comprising radio galaxies and BL Lacs, which were classified based on the accretion properties as low-excitation (LEG) and high-excitation (HEG) galaxies. We propose that the jet collimation in NGC 315 is completed on sub-parsec scales. A transition from a parabolic to conical jet shape is detected at z_t_=0.58+/-0.28-parsecs or ~5x10^3& Schwarzschild radii (Rs) from the central engine, a distance which is much smaller than the Bondi radius, rB~92pc, estimated based on X-ray data. The jet in this and in a few other LEG in our sample may be initially confined by a thick disk extending out to ~10^3^-10^4^R_{sun}_. A comparison between the mass-scaled jet expansion profiles of all sources indicates that jets in HEG are surrounded by thicker disk-launched sheaths and collimate on larger scales with respect to jets in LEG. These results suggest that disk winds play an important role in the jet collimation mechanism, particularly in high-luminosity sources. The impact of winds on the origin of the FRI and FRII dichotomy in radio galaxies is also discussed.

- Jet power of blazars from the TGSS at 150MHz
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/861/97

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The composition and energy dissipation in jets are two of the fundamental questions of jet physics that are not fully understood. In this paper, we attempt to constrain the composition, magnetization, and radiative efficiency for blazars with the recently released low-frequency radio catalog of the TIFR GMRT Sky Survey at 150MHz. The jet power estimated from the low-frequency radio emission is much lower than that derived from spectral energy distribution fitting assuming one proton per electron. Assuming the jet power estimated from low-frequency radio emission is physical, the fraction of electron/positron pairs can be constrained with n_pairs_/n_p_~10. By comparing the power carried by the magnetic field and radiation with the jet power estimated from the low-frequency radio emission, we find both the relatively high magnetization parameter of {sigma}~0.5 and the radiative efficiency of {eta}~0.4 in the dissipation region of blazars. These results suggest that magnetic reconnection processes may play an important role in the energy dissipation of blazars. We also explore the connection between these three parameters (n_pairs_/n_p_, {sigma}, and {eta}) and the black hole mass, disk luminosity, and Eddington ratio. No significant correlation is found, except that {sigma} shows a possible correlation with disk luminosity.

- JHK' photometry near IRAS 18507+0121
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/602/850
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We have observed the massive star-forming region IRAS 18507+0121 at millimeter wavelengths in 3mm continuum emission, H^13^CO+ (J=1-0) and SiO (v=0,J=2-1) line emission, and at near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths between 1.2 and 2.1{mu}m. Two compact molecular cores are detected: one north and one south, separated by ~40". The northern molecular core contains a newly discovered, deeply embedded, B2 protostar surrounded by several hundred solar masses of warm gas and dust, G34.4+0.23 MM. Based on the presence of warm dust emission and the lack of detection at NIR wavelengths, we suggest that G34.4+0.23 MM may represent the relatively rare discovery of a massive protostar (e.g., analogous to a low-mass "Class 0" protostar). The southern molecular core is associated with an NIR cluster of young stars and an ultracompact HII region, G34.4+0.23, with a central B0.5 star. The fraction of NIR stars with excess infrared emission indicative of circumstellar material is greater than 50%, which suggests an upper limit on the age of the IRAS 18507+0121 star-forming region of 3Myr.

- Description:
- We present the selection of the Jodrell Bank Flat-spectrum (JBF) radio source sample, which is designed to reduce the uncertainties in the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) gravitational lensing statistics arising from the lack of knowledge about the parent population luminosity function. From observations at 4.86GHz with the Very Large Array, we have selected a sample of 117 flat-spectrum radio sources with flux densities greater than 5mJy. These sources were selected in a similar manner to the CLASS complete sample and are therefore representative of the parent population at low flux densities. The vast majority (~90 per cent) of the JBF sample are found to be compact on the arcsec scales probed here and show little evidence of any extended radio jet emission. Using the JBF and CLASS complete samples, we find the differential number counts slope of the parent population above and below the CLASS 30-mJy flux density limit to be 2.07+/-0.02 and 1.96+/-0.12, respectively.

- Description:
- We present new JVLA observations of the high-mass cluster-forming region W51A from 2 to 16GHz with resolution {theta}_fwhm_~~0.3-0.5". The data reveal a wealth of observational results: (1) Currently-forming, very massive (proto-O) stars are traced by o-H_2_CO 2_1,1_-2_1,2_ emission, suggesting that this line can be used efficiently as a massive protostar tracer. (2) There is a spatially distributed population of <~mJy continuum sources, including hypercompact HII regions and candidate colliding wind binaries, in and around the W51 proto-clusters. (3) There are two clearly detected protoclusters, W51e and W51 IRS2, that are gas-rich but may have most of their mass in stars within their inner <~0.05pc. The majority of the bolometric luminosity in W51 most likely comes from a third population of OB stars between these clusters. The presence of a substantial population of exposed O-stars coincident with a population of still-forming massive stars, along with a direct measurement of the low mass loss rate via ionized gas outflow from W51 IRS2, together imply that feedback is ineffective at halting star formation in massive protoclusters. Instead, feedback may shut off the large-scale accretion of diffuse gas onto the W51 protoclusters, implying that they are evolving towards a state of gas exhaustion rather than gas expulsion. Recent theoretical models predict gas exhaustion to be a necessary step in the formation of gravitationally bound stellar clusters, and our results provide an observational validation of this process.

- JVLA rotation measures of Smith cloud bckg sources
- Short Name:

- Description:
- The Smith Cloud is a high-velocity cloud with an orbit suggesting it has made at least one passage through the Milky Way disk. A magnetic field found around this cloud has been thought to provide extra stability as it passes through the Galactic halo. We use the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array to measure Faraday rotation measures (RMs) toward 1105 extragalactic background point sources behind and next to the Smith Cloud to constrain the detailed geometry and strength of its magnetic field. The RM pattern across the cloud gives the detailed morphology of the magnetic field structure, which indicates a field draped over the ionized gas and compressed at the head of the cloud. We constrain the peak line-of-sight magnetic field strength to >~+5{mu}G and create a model of the magnetic field to demonstrate that a draped configuration can qualitatively explain the morphology of the observed RMs.

- Description:
- Continuum spectra covering centimetre to submillimetre wavelengths are presented for a northern sample of 104 extragalactic radio sources, mainly active galactic nuclei, based on four-epoch Planck data. The nine Planck frequencies, from 30 to 857GHz, are complemented by a set of simultaneous ground-based radio observations between 1.1 and 37GHz. The single-survey Planck data confirm that the flattest high-frequency radio spectral indices are close to zero, indicating that the original accelerated electron energy spectrum is much harder than commonly thought, with power-law index around 1.5 instead of the canonical 2.5. The radio spectra peak at high frequencies and exhibit a variety of shapes. For a small set of low-z sources, we find a spectral upturn at high frequencies, indicating the presence of intrinsic cold dust. Variability can generally be approximated by achromatic variations, while sources with clear signatures of evolving shocks appear to be limited to the strongest outbursts.

- Description:
- We observed at 22GHz with the VLBI array VERA a sample of 1536 sources with correlated flux densities brighter than 200mJy at 8GHz. One half of target sources has been detected. The detection limit was around 200mJy. We derived the correlated flux densities of 877 detected sources in three ranges of projected baseline lengths. The objective of these observations was to determine the suitability of given sources as phase calibrators for dual-beam and phase-referencing observations at high frequencies. Preliminary results indicate that the number of compact extragalactic sources at 22GHz brighter than a given correlated flux density level is twice less than at 8GHz.
