Description:
We present results from a narrow-band optical survey of a contiguous area of 1.95deg^2^, covered by the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS). Both optical narrow-band ({lambda}c=8150{AA} and {delta}{lambda}=120{AA}) and broad-band (B, V, g', r', i', and z') imaging observations were performed with the Subaru prime-focus camera, Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope. We provide the largest contiguous narrow-band survey, targeting Ly{alpha} emitters (LAEs) at z~5.7. We find a total of 119 LAE candidates at z~5.7. Over the wide-area covered by this survey, we find no strong evidence for large-scale clustering of LAEs. We estimate a star formation rate (SFR) density of ~7x10-4M_{sun}_/yr/Mpc^3^ for LAEs at z~5.7 and compare it with previous measurements.

Description:
Using the wide multiband photometry available in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field, we explore the host galaxy properties of a large sample of active galactic nuclei (AGNs; ~1700 objects) with L_bol_ranging from 10^43^ to 10^47^erg/s, obtained by combining X-ray and optical spectroscopic selections. Based on a careful study of their spectral energy distributions, which have been parametrized using a two-component (AGN+galaxy) model fit, we have derived dust-corrected rest-frame magnitudes, colours and stellar masses of the obscured and unobscured AGN hosts up to high redshift (z<~3). Moreover, for the sample of obscured AGNs, we have also derived reliable star formation rates (SFRs). We find that AGN hosts span a large range of stellar masses and SFRs. No colour-bimodality is seen at any redshift in the AGN hosts, which are found to be mainly massive, red galaxies. Once we have accounted for the colour-mass degeneracy in well-defined mass-matched samples, we find a residual (marginal) enhancement of the incidence of AGNs in redder galaxies with lower specific SFRs. We argue that this result might emerge because of our ability to properly account for AGN light contamination and dust extinction, compared to surveys with a more limited multiwavelength coverage. However, because these colour shifts are relatively small, systematic effects could still be considered responsible for some of the observed trends. Interestingly, we find that the probability for a galaxy to host a black hole that is growing at any given `specific accretion rate' (i.e. the ratio of X-ray luminosity to the host stellar mass) is almost independent of the host galaxy mass, while it decreases as a power law with L_X_/M_*_. By analysing the normalization of such a probability distribution, we show how the incidence of AGNs increases with redshift as rapidly as (1 + {\em z})^4^, which closely resembles the overall evolution of the specific SFR of the entire galaxy population. We provide analytical fitting formulae that describe the probability of a galaxy of any mass (above the completeness limit of the COSMOS) to host an AGN of any given specific accretion rate as a function of redshift. These can be useful tools for theoretical studies of the growing population of black holes within galaxy evolution models. Although AGN activity and star formation in galaxies do appear to have a common triggering mechanism, at least in a statistical sense, within the COSMOS sample, we do not find any conclusive evidence to suggest that AGNs have a powerful influence on the star-forming properties of their host galaxies.

COSMOS Multi-Wavelength Photometry Catalog
Short Name:
II/284
Date:

CDS
Description:
We present imaging data and photometry for the COSMOS survey in 15 photometric bands between 0.3 and 2.4m. These include data taken on the Subaru 8.3m telescope, the KPNO and CTIO 4m telescopes, and the CFHT 3.6m telescope. Special techniques are used to ensure that the relative photometric calibration is better than 1% across the field of view. The absolute photometric accuracy from standard-star measurements is found to be 6%. The absolute calibration is corrected using galaxy spectra, providing colors accurate to 2% or better. Stellar and galaxy colors and counts agree well with the expected values. Finally, as the first step in the scientific analysis of these data we construct panchromatic number counts which confirm that both the geometry of the universe and the galaxy population are evolving.
394. COSMOS photometric redshift catalog

COSMOS photometric redshift catalog

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present accurate photometric redshifts (photo-z) in the 2-deg^2^ COSMOS field. The redshifts are computed with 30 broad, intermediate, and narrowbands covering the UV (Galaxy Evolution Explorer), visible near-IR (NIR; Subaru, Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), United Kingdom Infrared Telescope, and National Optical Astronomy Observatory), and mid-IR (Spitzer/IRAC). A {chi}^2^ template-fitting method (Le Phare) was used and calibrated with large spectroscopic samples from the Very Large Telescope Visible Multi-Object Spectrograph and the Keck Deep Extragalactic Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph. We develop and implement a new method which accounts for the contributions from emission lines ([OII], H{beta}, H{alpha}, and Ly{alpha}) to the spectral energy distributions (SEDs). The treatment of emission lines improves the photo-z accuracy by a factor of 2.5. Comparison of the derived photo-z with 4148 spectroscopic redshifts (i.e., {Delta}z=zs-zp) indicates a dispersion of {sigma}_{Delta}z/(1+zs)_=0.007 at i^+^_AB_<22.5, a factor of 2-6 times more accurate than earlier photo-z in the COSMOS, CFHT Legacy Survey, and the Classifying Object by Medium-Band Observations-17 survey fields. At fainter magnitudes i^+^_AB_<24 and z<1.25, the accuracy is {sigma}_{Delta}z/(1+zs)_=0.012. The deep NIR and Infrared Array Camera coverage enables the photo-z to be extended to z~2, albeit with a lower accuracy ({sigma}_{Delta}z/(1+zs)_=0.006 at i^+^_AB_~24). The redshift distribution of large magnitude-selected samples is derived and the median redshift is found to range from z_m_= 0.66 at 22 <i^+^_AB_<22.5 to z_m_=1.06 at 24.5<i^+^_AB_<25. At i ^+^_AB_<26.0, the multiwavelength COSMOS catalog includes approximately 607,617 objects. The COSMOS-30 photo-z enables the full exploitation of this survey for studies of galaxy and large-scale structure evolution at high redshift.

COSMOS/UltraVISTA Ks-selected catalogs v4.1
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalog covering 1.62deg^2^ of the COSMOS/UltraVISTA field with point-spread function (PSF) matched photometry in 30 photometric bands. The catalog covers the wavelength range 0.15-24{mu}m including the available GALEX, Subaru, Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, VISTA, and Spitzer data. Catalog sources have been selected from the DR1 UltraVISTA K_s_ band imaging that reaches a depth of K_s,tot_=23.4 AB (90% completeness). The PSF-matched catalog is generated using position-dependent PSFs ensuring accurate colors across the entire field. Also included is a catalog of photometric redshifts (z_phot_) for all galaxies computed with the EAZY code. Comparison with spectroscopy from the zCOSMOS 10k bright sample shows that up to z~1.5 the z_phot_ are accurate to {Delta}z/(1+z)=0.013, with a catastrophic outlier fraction of only 1.6%. The z_phot_ also show good agreement with the z_phot_ from the NEWFIRM Medium Band Survey out to z~3. A catalog of stellar masses and stellar population parameters for galaxies determined using the FAST spectral energy distribution fitting code is provided for all galaxies. Also included are rest-frame U-V and V-J colors, L_2800_ and L_IR_. The UVJ color-color diagram confirms that the galaxy bi-modality is well-established out to z~2. Star-forming galaxies also obey a star-forming "main sequence" out to z~2.5, and this sequence evolves in a manner consistent with previous measurements. The COSMOS/UltraVISTA K_s_-selected catalog covers a unique parameter space in both depth, area, and multi-wavelength coverage and promises to be a useful tool for studying the growth of the galaxy population out to z~3-4.
396. COSMOS 70um sources

Title:
COSMOS 70um sources
Short Name:
J/ApJ/709/572
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a large robust sample of 1503 reliable and unconfused 70um selected sources from the multiwavelength data set of the Cosmic Evolution Survey. Using the Spitzer IRAC and MIPS photometry, we estimate the total infrared (IR) luminosity, LIR (8-1000um), by finding the best-fit template from several different template libraries. The long-wavelength 70 and 160um data allow us to obtain a reliable estimate of LIR, accurate to within 0.2 and 0.05dex, respectively. The 70um data point enables a significant improvement over the luminosity estimates possible with only a 24um detection. The full sample spans a wide range in IR luminosity, LIR~10^8^-10^14^L_{sun}_, with a median luminosity of 10^11.4^L_{sun}_. We identify a total of 687 luminous, 303 ultraluminous, and 31 hyperluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs, ULIRGs, and HyLIRGs) over the redshift range 0.01<z<3.5 with a median redshift of 0.5. Presented here are the full spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for each of the sources compiled from the extensive multiwavelength data set from the ultraviolet (UV) to the far-infrared. A catalog of the general properties of the sample (including the photometry, redshifts, and LIR) is included with this paper.

Title:
CO survey of molecular clouds. III. Serpens
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We mapped ^12^CO and ^13^CO J=2-1 emission over 1.04deg^2^ of the Serpens molecular cloud with 38" spatial and 0.3km/s spectral resolution using the Arizona Radio Observatory Heinrich Hertz Submillimeter Telescope. Our maps resolve kinematic properties for the entire Serpens cloud. We also compare our velocity moment maps with known positions of young stellar objects (YSOs) and 1.1 mm continuum emission. We find that ^12^CO is self-absorbed and ^13^CO is optically thick in the Serpens core. Outside of the Serpens core, gas appears in filamentary structures having LSR velocities which are blueshifted by up to 2km/s relative to the 8km/s systemic velocity of the Serpens cloud. We show that the known Class I, flat, and Class II YSOs in the Serpens core most likely formed at the same spatial location and have since drifted apart. The spatial and velocity structure of the ^12^CO line ratios implies that a detailed three-dimensional radiative transfer model of the cloud will be necessary for full interpretation of our spectral data. The "starless cores" region of the cloud is likely to be the next site of star formation in Serpens.

CO survey of molecular clouds. IV. NGC 1333

Description:
We mapped the NGC 1333 section of the Perseus Molecular Cloud in the J=2-1 emission lines of ^12^CO and ^13^CO over a 50'x60' region (3.4x4.1pc at the cloud distance of 235pc), using the Arizona Radio Observatory Heinrich Hertz Submillimeter Telescope. The angular resolution is 38" (0.04pc) and velocity resolution is 0.3km/s. We compare our velocity moment maps with known positions of young stellar objects (YSOs) and (sub)millimeter dust continuum emission. The CO emission is brightest at the center of the cluster of YSOs, but is detected over the full extent of the mapped region at >=10xrms. The morphology of the CO channel maps shows a kinematically complex structure, with many elongated features extending from the YSO cluster outward by ~1pc. One notable feature appears as a narrow serpentine structure that curves and doubles back, with a total length of ~3pc. The ^13^CO velocity channel maps show evidence for many low-density cavities surrounded by partial shell-like structures, consistent with previous studies. Maps of the velocity moments show localized effects of bipolar outflows from embedded YSOs, as well as a large-scale velocity gradient around the central core of YSOs, suggestive of large-scale turbulent cloud motions determining the location of current star formation. The CO/^13^CO intensity ratios show the distribution of the CO opacity, which exhibits a complex kinematic structure. Identified YSOs are located mainly at the positions of greatest CO opacity.

Description:
Using the Purple Mountain Observatory 13.7m millimeter telescope at Delingha in China, we have conducted a large-scale simultaneous survey of ^12^CO, ^13^CO, and C^18^O (J=1-0) toward the CMa OB1 complex with a sky coverage of 16.5deg^2^ (221.5{deg}<=l<=227{deg}, -2.5{deg}<=b<=0.5{deg}). Emission from the CMa OB1 complex is found in the range 7km/s<=V_LSR_<=25km/s. The large-scale structure, physical properties, and chemical abundances of the molecular clouds are presented. A total of 83 C^18^O molecular clumps are identified with the GaussClumps algorithm within the mapped region. We find that 94% of these C18O molecular clumps are gravitationally bound. The relationship between their size and mass indicates that none of the C^18^O clumps has the potential to form high-mass stars. Using a semiautomatic IDL algorithm, we newly discover 85 CO outflow candidates in the mapped area, including 23 bipolar outflow candidates. Additionally, a comparative study reveals evidence for a significant variety of physical properties, evolutionary stages, and levels of star formation activity in different subregions of the CMa OB1 complex.
