Title:
The FIRST Survey Catalog, Version 12Feb16
Short Name:
VIII/90
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty centimeters (FIRST) began in 1993. It uses the VLA (Very Large Array, a facility of the National Radio Observatory (NRAO)) at a frequency of 1.4GHz, and it is slated to 10,000 deg^2^ of the North and South Galactic Caps, to a sensitivity of about 1mJy with an angular resolution of about 5''. The images produced by an automated mapping pipeline have pixels of 1.8'', a typical rms of 0.15mJy, and a resolution of 5''; the images are available on the Internet (see the FIRST home page at http://sundog.stsci.edu/ for details). The source catalogue is derived from the images. This catalog from the 1993 through 2011 observations contains 946,464 sources from the north and south Galactic caps. It covers a total of 10,635 square degrees of the sky (8444 square degrees in the north and 2191 square degrees in the south.) The catalog format differs from the previous version: The contents of the sidelobe flag column has changed to a sidelobe probability estimate, and columns have been added with information on optical and infrared counterparts from the SDSS and 2MASS catalogs. There is no GSC2 information in this version.

Description:
The FIRST survey to produce Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty centimeters began in 1993. It uses the VLA (Very Large Array, a facility of the National Radio Observatory (NRAO)) at a frequency of 1.4GHz, and it is slated to 10,000 deg^2^ to a sensitivity of about 1mJy with an angular resolution of about 5". The co-added images are available on the Internet (see the FIRST home page at http://sundog.stsci.edu/ for details). The source catalogue is derived from the images. This version of the FIRST Survey is derived from the 1993 through 1997 observations, and contains 382,892 sources for the north Galactic cap, and 54,537 sources for the south Galactic cap. The northern catalog covers about 4150 square degrees of sky, including most of the area: 7h20m < RA(2000) < 17h20m 22.2{deg} < Dec < 57.6{deg} The southern catalog covers about 610 square degrees of sky, including two narrow strips in the area 21h20m < RA(2000) < 3h20m -11.5{deg} < Dec < 1.6{deg}

This version of the FIRST Survey is derived from the 1993 through 1998 observations, and contains 549,707 sources covering the north and south Galactic caps. The catalog covers about a total of 6060 square degrees of sky (5450 square degrees in the north and 610 square degrees in the south). No new data were taken for the south Galactic cap from the preceding version (catalog <VIII/51>), but the southern images south of about -2 degrees were reprocessed with an improved pipeline script that substantially reduces the sidelobe levels in a small fraction of the fields. Consequently, many of the southern sources have slight changes in their positions, flux densities, and other properties; a small number of sources from the previous catalog are missing from this catalog.
1814. The first Swift UV-Opt GRB afterglow catalog
ID:

Title:
The first Swift UV-Opt GRB afterglow catalog
Short Name:
J/ApJ/690/163
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the first Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow catalog. The catalog contains data from over 64000 independent UVOT image observations of 229 GRBs first detected by Swift, the High Energy Transient Explorer 2 (HETE2), the International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL), and the Interplanetary Network (IPN). The catalog covers GRBs occurring during the period from 2005 January 17 to 2007 June 16 and includes ~86% of the bursts detected by the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT). The catalog provides detailed burst positional, temporal, and photometric information extracted from each of the UVOT images. Positions for bursts detected at the 3{sigma} level are provided with a nominal accuracy, relative to the USNO-B1 catalog, of ~0.25". Photometry for each burst is given in three UV bands, three optical bands, and a "white" or open filter. Upper limits for magnitudes are reported for sources detected below 3{sigma}. General properties of the burst sample and light curves, including the filter-dependent temporal slopes, are also provided.
1815. The first 3yrs of DES-SN (DES-SN3YR)

Title:
The first 3yrs of DES-SN (DES-SN3YR)
Short Name:
J/ApJ/874/150
Date:
08 Dec 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the analysis underpinning the measurement of cosmological parameters from 207 spectroscopically classified SNe Ia from the first 3 years of the Dark Energy Survey Supernova Program (DES-SN), spanning a redshift range of 0.017<z<0.849. We combine the DES-SN sample with an external sample of 122 low-redshift (z<0.1) SNe Ia, resulting in a "DES-SN3YR" sample of 329 SNe Ia. Our cosmological analyses are blinded: after combining our DES-SN3YR distances with constraints from the Cosmic Microwave Background, our uncertainties in the measurement of the dark energy equation-of-state parameter, w, are 0.042 (stat) and 0.059 (stat+syst) at 68% confidence. We provide a detailed systematic uncertainty budget, which has nearly equal contributions from photometric calibration, astrophysical bias corrections, and instrumental bias corrections. We also include several new sources of systematic uncertainty. While our sample is less than one-third the size of the Pantheon sample, our constraints on w are only larger by 1.4x, showing the impact of the DES-SN Ia light-curve quality. We find that the traditional stretch and color standardization parameters of the DES-SNe Ia are in agreement with earlier SN Ia samples such as Pan-STARRS1 and the Supernova Legacy Survey. However, we find smaller intrinsic scatter about the Hubble diagram (0.077mag). Interestingly, we find no evidence for a Hubble residual step (0.007+/-0.018mag) as a function of host-galaxy mass for the DES subset, in 2.4{sigma} tension with previous measurements. We also present novel validation methods of our sample using simulated SNe Ia inserted in DECam images and using large catalog-level simulations to test for biases in our analysis pipelines.
1816. The FLASH Redshift Survey
ID:

Title:
The FLASH Redshift Survey
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/339/652
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The FLAIR Shapley-Hydra (FLASH) redshift survey catalogue consists of 4613 galaxies brighter than b_J_= 16.7 (corrected for Galactic extinction) over a 700-deg^2^ region of sky in the general direction of the Local Group motion. The survey region is a 70x10{deg} strip spanning the sky from the Shapley Supercluster to the Hydra cluster, and contains 3141 galaxies with measured redshifts. Designed to explore the effect of the galaxy concentrations in this direction (in particular the Supergalactic plane and the Shapley Supercluster) upon the Local Group motion, the 68 per cent completeness allows us to sample the large-scale structure better than similar sparsely-sampled surveys. The survey region does not overlap with the areas covered by ongoing wide-angle (Sloan or 2dF) complete redshift surveys. In this paper, the first in a series, we describe the observation and data reduction procedures, the analysis for the redshift errors and survey completeness, and present the survey data. Note that there are some minor change/improvements over the example table published in MNRAS: 1. R.A./Dec. is now J2000 rather than B1950. 2. l/b are now given to 3 decimal places rather than 1 decimal place. 3. Some additional redshifts from NED and ZCAT have been included.
1817. The FON Astrographic Catalogue (FONAC)
ID:

Title:
The FON Astrographic Catalogue (FONAC)
Short Name:
I/261
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The FONAC is a catalogue of positions, proper motions and photometric data for 2,008,383 of Astrographic Catalogue (AC) stars covering the sky between declinations +90 and -2 degrees. The average epoch of positions is 1988.19. The catalogue is based on the measurements of more then 1700 plates which were taken with the wide-angle astrograph of the Main Astronomical Observatory (MAO) in Kiev within the FON (Photographic Survey of the Northern Sky) project. The AC data were used both as the input catalogue for measuring machine PARSEC (Programming Automatic Radial-Scanning Coordinatometer) and as the first epochs for determination of proper motions of stars. The ACT Reference Catalogue was applied for the reductions of positions and B magnitudes of stars, the GSC1.1 was used for determination of (B-V) values, and the USNO R-magnitudes were used for determination of (B-R) values. The estimated precision is 0.2 arcseconds for the positions, 3 mas/yr for the proper motions, and 0.18mag for the photometry.
1818. The Galactic Bulge Survey: X-ray observations

Title:
The Galactic Bulge Survey: X-ray observations
Short Name:
J/ApJS/194/18
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We introduce the Galactic Bulge Survey (GBS) and we provide the Chandra source list for the region that has been observed to date. Among the goals of the GBS are constraining the neutron star (NS) equation of state and the black hole (BH) mass distribution via the identification of eclipsing NS and BH low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). The GBS targets two strips of 6{deg}x1{deg} (12deg^2^ in total), one above (1{deg}<b<2{deg}) and one below (-2{deg}<b<-1{deg}) the Galactic plane in the direction of the Galactic center at both X-ray and optical wavelengths. By avoiding the Galactic plane (-1{deg}<b<1{deg}) we limit the influence of extinction on the X-ray and optical emission but still sample relatively large number densities of sources. The survey is designed such that a large fraction of the X-ray sources can be identified from their optical spectra. The X-ray survey, by design, covers a large area on the sky while the depth is shallow using 2ks per Chandra pointing. In this way we maximize the predicted number ratio of (quiescent) LMXBs to cataclysmic variables. The survey is approximately homogeneous in depth to a 0.5-10keV flux of 7.7x10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s. So far, we have covered about two-thirds (8.3deg^2^) of the projected survey area with Chandra providing over 1200 unique X-ray sources. We discuss the characteristics and the variability of the brightest of these sources.

Description:
The ensemble of chemical element abundance measurements for stars, along with precision distances and orbit properties, provides high-dimensional data to study the evolution of the MilkyWay.With this third data release of the Galactic Archaeology with HERMES (GALAH) survey, we publish 678 423 spectra for 588 571 mostly nearby stars (81.2 per cent of stars are within <2 kpc), observed with the HERMES spectrograph at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. This release (hereafter GALAH+ DR3) includes all observations from GALAH Phase 1 (bright, main, and faint survey, 70 per cent), K2-HERMES (17 per cent), TESS-HERMES (5 per cent), and a subset of ancillary observations (8 per cent) including the bulge and >75 stellar clusters. We derive stellar parameters Teff, logg, [Fe/H], vmic, vbroad, and vrad using our modified version of the spectrum synthesis code Spectroscopy Made Easy (SME) and 1D MARCS model atmospheres. We break spectroscopic degeneracies in our spectrum analysis with astrometry from Gaia DR2 and photometry from 2MASS. We report abundance ratios [X/Fe] for 30 different elements (11 of which are based on non-LTE computations) covering five nucleosynthetic pathways. We describe validations for accuracy and precision, flagging of peculiar stars/measurements and recommendations for using our results. Our catalogue comprises 65 per cent dwarfs, 34 per cent giants, and 1 per cent other/unclassified stars. Based on unflagged chemical composition and age, we find 62 per cent young low-alpha, 9 per cent young high-alpha, 27 per cent old high-alpha, and 2 per cent stars with [Fe/H]<=-1. Based on kinematics, 4 per cent are halo stars. Several Value-Added-Catalogues, including stellar ages and dynamics, updated after Gaia eDR3, accompany this release and allow chrono-chemodynamic analyses, as we showcase.
1820. The GALFA-HI compact cloud catalog

Title:
The GALFA-HI compact cloud catalog
Short Name:
J/ApJ/758/44
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalog of 1964 isolated, compact neutral hydrogen clouds from the Galactic Arecibo L-Band Feed Array Survey Data Release One. The clouds were identified by a custom machine-vision algorithm utilizing the difference of Gaussian kernels to search for clouds smaller than 20'. The clouds have velocities typically between |V_LSR_|=20 and 400km/s, line widths of 2.5-35km/s, and column densities ranging from 1 to 35x10^18^/cm2. The distances to the clouds in this catalog may cover several orders of magnitude, so the masses may range from less than a solar mass for clouds within the Galactic disk, to greater than 10^4^M_{sun}_for high-velocity clouds (HVCs) at the tip of the Magellanic Stream. To search for trends, we separate the catalog into five populations based on position, velocity, and line width: HVCs; galaxy candidates; cold low-velocity clouds (LVCs); warm, low positive-velocity clouds in the third Galactic quadrant; and the remaining warm LVCs. The observed HVCs are found to be associated with previously identified HVC complexes. We do not observe a large population of isolated clouds at high velocities as some models predict. We see evidence for distinct histories at low velocities in detecting populations of clouds corotating with the Galactic disk and a set of clouds that is not corotating.
