- Description:
- We apply a friends-of-friends algorithm to the HectoMAP redshift survey and cross-identify associated X-ray emission in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey data (RASS). The resulting flux-limited catalog of X-ray cluster surveys is complete to a limiting flux of ~3x10^-13^erg/s/cm^2^ and includes 15 clusters (7 newly discovered) with redshifts z<=0.4. HectoMAP is a dense survey (~1200 galaxies deg^-2^) that provides ~50 members (median) in each X-ray cluster. We provide redshifts for the 1036 cluster members. Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam imaging covers three of the X-ray systems and confirms that they are impressive clusters. The HectoMAP X-ray clusters have an LX-{sigma}cl scaling relation similar to that of known massive X-ray clusters. The HectoMAP X-ray cluster sample predicts ~12000+/-3000 detectable X-ray clusters in RASS to the limiting flux, comparable with previous estimates.

- Description:
- The Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope HUT was one of three ultraviolet instruments of the ASTRO-1 mission flown on the space shuttle Columbia during 2-10 December 1990. 106 spectrophotometric observations of 77 targets were obtained in the far-UV (i.e., 912-1850{AA}) at a resolution of ~3{AA}. A few sources were observed in the 415-912{AA} region with a 1.5{AA} resolution. The same three instruments were later flown on the space shuttle Endeavour from 3-17 March 1995 as part of the ASTRO-2 mission. During the longer ASTRO-2 mission, 385 observations of 265 targets were obtained.

- Description:
- Kepler-13Ab (= KOI-13.01) is a unique transiting hot Jupiter. It is one of very few known short-period planets orbiting a hot A-type star, making it one of the hottest planets currently known. The availability of Kepler data allows us to measure the planet's occultation (secondary eclipse) and phase curve in the optical, which we combine with occultations observed by warm Spitzer at 4.5 {mu}m and 3.6 {mu}m and a ground-based occultation observation in the K_s_ band (2.1 {mu}m). We derive a day-side hemisphere temperature of 2750+/-160 K as the effective temperature of a black body showing the same occultation depths. Comparing the occultation depths with one-dimensional planetary atmosphere models suggests the presence of an atmospheric temperature inversion. Our analysis shows evidence for a relatively high geometric albedo, A_g_=0.33_-0.06_^+0.04^. While measured with a simplistic method, a high A_g_ is supported also by the fact that the one-dimensional atmosphere models underestimate the occultation depth in the optical. We use stellar spectra to determine the dilution, in the four wide bands where occultation was measured, due to the visual stellar binary companion 1.15"+/-0.05" away. The revised stellar parameters measured using these spectra are combined with other measurements, leading to revised planetary mass and radius estimates of M_p_=4.94-8.09 M_J_ and R_p_=1.406+/-0.038 R_J_. Finally, we measure a Kepler midoccultation time that is 34.0+/-6.9 s earlier than expected based on the midtransit time and the delay due to light-travel time and discuss possible scenarios.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present an atlas of near-infrared spectra (2.36{mu}m-4.1{mu}m) of ~300 stars at moderate resolution ({lambda}/{delta}{lambda}~1500-2000). The spectra were recorded using the Short-Wavelength Spectrometer aboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO-SWS). The bulk of the observations were performed during a dedicated observation campaign after the liquid helium depletion of the ISO satellite, the so-called post-helium programme. This programme was aimed at extending the MK-classification to the near-infrared.

- The kinematics of the C II {lambda}6578 line in PNe
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/153/140
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present spectroscopic observations of the C II {lambda}6578 permitted line for 83 lines of sight in 76 planetary nebulae at high spectral resolution, most of them obtained with the Manchester Echelle Spectrograph on the 2.1 m telescope at the Observatorio Astronomico Nacional on the Sierra San Pedro Martir. We study the kinematics of the C II {lambda}6578 permitted line with respect to other permitted and collisionally excited lines. Statistically, we find that the kinematics of the C II {lambda}6578 line are not those expected if this line arises from the recombination of C^2+^ ions or the fluorescence of C^+^ ions in ionization equilibrium in a chemically homogeneous nebular plasma, but instead its kinematics are those appropriate for a volume more internal than expected. The planetary nebulae in this sample have well-defined morphology and are restricted to a limited range in H{alpha} line widths (no large values) compared to their counterparts in the Milky Way bulge; both these features could be interpreted as the result of young nebular shells, an inference that is also supported by nebular modeling. Concerning the long-standing discrepancy between chemical abundances inferred from permitted and collisionally excited emission lines in photoionized nebulae, our results imply that multiple plasma components occur commonly in planetary nebulae.

- The MASSIVE survey. VI. Warm ionized gas.
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We present the first systematic investigation of the existence, spatial distribution, and kinematics of warm ionized gas as traced by the [OII]3727{AA} emission line in 74 of the most massive galaxies in the local universe. All of our galaxies have deep integral-field spectroscopy from the volume- and magnitude-limited MASSIVE survey of early-type galaxies with stellar mass log(M_*_/M_{sun}_)>11.5 (M_K_<-25.3mag) and distance D<108Mpc. Of the 74 galaxies in our sample, we detect warm ionized gas in 28, which yields a global detection fraction of 38+/-6% down to a typical [OII] equivalent width limit of 2{AA}. MASSIVE fast rotators are more likely to have gas than MASSIVE slow rotators with detection fractions of 80+/-10% and 28+/-6%, respectively. The spatial extents span a wide range of radii (0.6-18.2kpc; 0.1-4R_e_), and the gas morphologies are diverse, with 17/28~61+/-9% being centrally concentrated, 8/28~29+/-9% exhibiting clear rotation out to several kiloparsecs, and 3/28~11+/-6% being extended but patchy. Three out of four fast rotators show kinematic alignment between the stars and gas, whereas the two slow rotators with robust kinematic measurements available exhibit kinematic misalignment. Our inferred warm ionized gas masses are roughly ~10^5^M_{sun}_. The emission line ratios and radial equivalent width profiles are generally consistent with excitation of the gas by the old underlying stellar population. We explore different gas origin scenarios for MASSIVE galaxies and find that a variety of physical processes are likely at play, including internal gas recycling, cooling out of the hot gaseous halo, and gas acquired via mergers.

- The M_BH_-{sigma} relation for active galaxies
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/809/20
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We create a baseline of the black hole (BH) mass (M_BH_)-stellar-velocity dispersion ({sigma}) relation for active galaxies, using a sample of 66 local (0.02<z<0.09) Seyfert-1 galaxies, selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Analysis of SDSS images yields AGN luminosities free of host-galaxy contamination, and morphological classification. 51/66 galaxies have spiral morphology. Out of these, 28 bulges have Sersic index n<2 and are considered candidate pseudo-bulges, with eight being definite pseudo-bulges based on multiple classification criteria met. Only 4/66 galaxies show signs of interaction/merging. High signal-to-noise ratio Keck spectra provide the width of the broad H{beta} emission line free of Fe II emission and stellar absorption. AGN luminosity and H{beta} line widths are used to estimate M_BH_. The Keck-based spatially resolved kinematics is used to determine stellar-velocity dispersion within the spheroid effective radius ({sigma}_spat,reff_). We find that {sigma} can vary on average by up to 40% across definitions commonly used in the literature, emphasizing the importance of using self-consistent definitions in comparisons and evolutionary studies. The M_BH_-{sigma} relation for our Seyfert-1 galaxy sample has the same intercept and scatter as that of reverberation-mapped AGNs as well as that of quiescent galaxies, consistent with the hypothesis that our single epoch M_BH_ estimator and sample selection function do not introduce significant biases. Barred galaxies, merging galaxies, and those hosting pseudo-bulges do not represent outliers in the M_BH_-{sigma} relation. This is in contrast with previous work, although no firm conclusion can be drawn on this matter due to the small sample size and limited resolution of the SDSS images.

- The MgII cross-section of red galaxies
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/727/47
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We describe a search for MgII(2796, 2803) absorption lines in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectra of QSOs whose lines of sight pass within impact parameters {rho}~200kpc of galaxies with photometric redshifts of z=0.46-0.6 and errors {Delta}z~0.05. The galaxies selected have the same colors and luminosities as the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) population previously selected from the SDSS. A search for MgII lines within a redshift interval of +/-0.1 of a galaxy's photometric redshift shows that absorption by these galaxies is rare: the covering fraction is f({rho})~10%-15% between {rho}=20kpc and {rho}=100kpc, for MgII lines with rest equivalent widths of W_r_>=0.6{AA}, falling to zero at larger {rho}. There is no evidence that W_r_ correlates with impact parameter or galaxy luminosity.

- Description:
- We present high spectral resolution Very Large Telescope observations of the broad absorption line quasar SDSS J0318-0600. This high-quality data set allows us to extract accurate ionic column densities and determine an electron number density of n_e_=10^3.3+/-0.2^cm^-3^ for the main outflow absorption component. The heavily reddened spectrum of SDSS J0318-0600 requires purely silicate dust with a reddening curve characteristic of predominately large grains, from which we estimate the bolometric luminosity. We carry out photoionization modeling to determine the total column density, ionization parameter, and distance of the gas and find that the photoionization models suggest abundances greater than solar. Due to the uncertainty in the location of the dust extinction, we arrive at two viable distances for the main ouflow component from the central source, 6 and 17kpc, where we consider the 6kpc location as somewhat more physically plausible. Assuming the canonical global covering of 20% for the outflow and a distance of 6kpc, our analysis yields a mass flux of 120M_{sun}_/yr and a kinetic luminosity that is ~0.1% of the bolometric luminosity of the object. Should the dust be part of the outflow, then these values are ~4x larger. The large mass flux and kinetic luminosity make this outflow a significant contributor to active galactic nucleus feedback processes.
