572. Supernovae and their hosts in the SDSS DR8
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/544/A81
Title:
Supernovae and their hosts in the SDSS DR8
Short Name:
J/A+A/544/A81
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We report the creation of large and well-defined database that combines extensive new measurements and a literature search of 3876 supernovae (SNe) and their 3679 host galaxies located in the sky area covered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 8 (DR8). This database should be much larger than previous ones, and should contain a homogenous set of global parameters of SN hosts, including morphological classifications and measures of nuclear activity. Identification of the host galaxy sample is 91% complete (with 3536 SNe in 3340 hosts), of which the SDSS names of ~1100 anonymous hosts are listed for the first time. The morphological classification is available for 2104 host galaxies, including 73 (56) hosts in interacting (merging) systems. The total sample of host galaxies collects heliocentric redshifts for 3317 (~90%) galaxies. The g-band magnitudes, D_25_, b/a, and PA are available for 2030 hosts of the morphologically classified sample of galaxies. Nuclear activity measures are provided for 1189 host galaxies. We analyze and discuss many selection effects and biases that can significantly affect any future analysis of our sample. The creation of this large database will help to better understand how the different types of SNe are correlated with the properties of the nuclei and global physical parameters of the host galaxies, and minimize possible selection effects and errors that often arise when data are selected from different sources and catalogues.
573. SuperWASP transit false positive catalog
ID:

Title:
SuperWASP transit false positive catalog
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/488/4905
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
SuperWASP, the Northern hemisphere WASP observatory, has been observing the skies from La Palma since 2004. In that time, more than 50 planets have been discovered with data contributions from SuperWASP. In the process of validating planets, many false-positive candidates have also been identified. The TESS telescope is set to begin observations of the northern sky in 2019. Similar to the WASP survey, the TESS pixel size is relatively large (13 arcsec for WASP and 21 arcsec for TESS), making it susceptible to many blended signals and false detections caused principally by grazing and blended stellar eclipsing binary systems. In order to reduce duplication of effort on targets, we present a catalogue of 1041 Northern hemisphere SuperWASP targets that have been rejected as planetary transits through follow-up observation.

Survey of Centaurus A's Baryonic Structures II.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
New wide-field u'g'r'i'z' Dark Energy Camera observations centred on the nearby giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 covering ~21 deg^2^ are used to compile a new catalogue of ~3200 globular clusters (GCs). We report 2404 newly identified candidates, including the vast majority within ~140kpc of NGC 5128. We find evidence for a transition at a galactocentric radius of R_gc_~=55kpc from GCs 'intrinsic' to NGC 5128 to those likely to have been accreted from dwarf galaxies or that may transition to the intragroup medium of the Centaurus A galaxy group. We fit power-law surface number density profiles of the form {Sigma}_N,R_gc_{prop.to}R_gc_^{Gamma}^ and find that inside the transition radius, the red GCs are more centrally concentrated than the blue, with {Gamma}_inner,red_~=-1.78 and {Gamma}_inner,blue_~=-1.40, respectively. Outside this region both profiles flatten, more dramatically for the red GCs ({Gamma}_outer,red_~=-0.33) compared to the blue ({Gamma}_outer,blue_~= -0.61), although the former is more likely to suffer contamination by background sources. The median (g'-z')_0_=1.27mag colour of the inner red population is consistent with arising from the amalgamation of two giant galaxies each less luminous than present-day NGC 5128. Both inwards and outwards of the transition radius, we find the fraction of blue GCs to dominate over the red GCs, indicating a lively history of minor mergers. Assuming the blue GCs to originate primarily in dwarf galaxies, we model the population required to explain them, while remaining consistent with NGC 5128's present-day spheroid luminosity. We find that several dozen dwarfs of luminosities L_dw,V_~= 10^6-9.3^L_V,{sun}_, following a Schechter luminosity function with a faint-end slope of -1.50<={alpha}<=-1.25 is favoured, many of which may have already been disrupted in NGC 5128's tidal field.
575. Survey of faint compact objects

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present results from a low-resolution (73A) spectroscopic survey of faint compact objects conducted with the Low Dispersion Survey Spectrograph at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The sample is a random subset of all compact sources with 22.5<=b_j_<=23.5 in three high-latitude fields. Additional data on compact sources with 21<=b_j_<=22.5 have been selected from the higher resolution (13A) survey previously published by Colless et al. (1990), and a subset of these brighter objects has been studied at both dispersions.

577. tau Boo Radial velocities & astrometric data

Title:
tau Boo Radial velocities & astrometric data
Short Name:
J/A+A/625/A59

Description:
The formation of planets in compact or highly eccentric binaries and the migration of hot Jupiters are two outstanding problems in planet formation. Detailed characterisation of known systems is important for informing and testing models. The hot Jupiter {tau} Boo Ab orbits the primary star in the long-period (P>~1000yr), highly eccentric (e~0.9) double star system {tau} Bootis. Due to the long orbital period, the orbit of the stellar binary is poorly constrained. Here we aim to constrain the orbit of the stellar binary {tau} Boo AB in order to investigate the formation and migration history of the system. The mutual orbital inclination of the stellar companion and the hot Jupiter has important implications for planet migration. The binary eccentricity and periastron distance are important for understanding the conditions under which {tau} Boo formed. We combine more than 150 years of astrometric data with twenty-five years of high-precision radial velocities. The combination of sky-projected and line-of-sight measurements places tight constraints on the orbital inclination, eccentricity, and periastron distance of {tau} Boo AB. We determine the orbit of {tau} Boo B and find an orbital inclination of 47.2^+2.7^_-3.7_{deg}, a periastron distance of 28.3^+2.3^_-3.0_au, and an eccentricity of 0.87^+0.04^_-0.03_. We find that the orbital inclinations of {tau} Boo Ab and {tau} Boo B, as well as the stellar spin-axis of {tau} Boo A coincide at ~45 degrees, a result consistent with the assumption of a well-aligned, coplanar system. The likely aligned, coplanar configuration suggests planetary migration within a well-aligned protoplanetary disc. Due to the high eccentricity and small periastron distance of {tau} Boo B, the protoplanetary disc was tidally truncated at ~6au. We suggest that {tau} Boo Ab formed near the edge of the truncated disc and migrated inwards with high eccentricity due to spiral waves generated by the stellar companion.
578. TGAS catalogue

Title:
TGAS catalogue
Short Name:

The GAVO DC team
Description:
This table is a subset of GaiaSource comprising those stars in the Hipparcos and Tycho-2 Catalogues for which a full 5-parameter astrometric solution has been possible in Gaia Data Release 1. This is possible because the early Hipparcos epoch positions break some degeneracies due to the limited Gaia time coverage. This table contains a substantial fraction of the around 2.5 million stars in the Hipparcos and Tycho-2 catalogue. Many stars have been excluded due to several reasons, such as saturation, cross-match errors or bad astrometric solution. All rows have Gaia solution id 1635378410781933568.
579. TGAS stars membership in 128 open clusters
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/615/A49
Title:
TGAS stars membership in 128 open clusters
Short Name:
J/A+A/615/A49
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) subset of the first Gaia catalogue contains an unprecedented sample of proper motions and parallaxes for two million stars brighter than G~12 mag. We take advantage of the full astrometric solution available for those stars to identify the members of known open clusters and compute mean cluster parameters using either TGAS or UCAC4 proper motions, and TGAS parallaxes. We apply an unsupervised membership assignment procedure to select high probability cluster members, we use a Bayesian/MCMC technique to fit stellar isochrones to the observed 2MASS JHK magnitudes of the member stars and derive cluster parameters (age, metallicity, extinction, distance modulus), and we combine TGAS data with spectroscopic radial velocities to compute full Galactic orbits. We obtain mean astrometric parameters (proper motions and parallaxes) for 128 clusters closer than about 2kpc, and cluster parameters from isochrone fitting for 26 of them located inside 1kpc from us. We show the orbital parameters obtained from integrating 36 orbits in a Galactic potential.
580. The AC 2000.2 Catalogue

Title:
The AC 2000.2 Catalogue
Short Name:
I/275
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The AC 2000.2 is a revised version of the 1997 release of the AC 2000 (Cat. <I/247>). It was decided that the availability of an improved reference catalogue and the inclusion of photometry from the Tycho-2 catalogue would be sufficient to warrant a complete re-reduction of the data and a new distribution of the catalogue. The AC 2000.2 catalog contains positions of 4,621,751 stars at the average epoch of plate exposures for each star (average 1907).
