741. SCUBA Half-Degree Extragalactic Survey. IV
ID:

Title:
SCUBA Half-Degree Extragalactic Survey. IV
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/379/1571
Date:

Publisher:

Description:
We present the redshift distribution of the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) Half Degree Survey (SHADES) galaxy population based on the rest-frame radio-mm-far-infrared (FIR) colours of 120 robustly detected 850um sources in the Lockman Hole East (LH) and Subaru XMM-Newton Deep Field (SXDF). The redshift distribution derived from the full spectral energy distribution (SED) information is shown to be narrower than that determined from the radiosub-mm spectral index, as more photometric bands contribute to a higher redshift accuracy.
742. SCUBA-2 high-redshift galaxies sample

Title:
SCUBA-2 high-redshift galaxies sample

Description:
We use the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope's SCUBA-2 camera to image a 400 arcmin^2^ area surrounding the GOODS-N field. The 850 {mu}m rms noise ranges from a value of 0.49 mJy in the central region to 3.5 mJy at the outside edge. From these data, we construct an 850 {mu}m source catalog to 2 mJy containing 49 sources detected above the 4{sigma} level. We use an ultradeep (11.5 {mu}Jy at 5{sigma}) 1.4 GHz image obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array together with observations made with the Submillimeter Array to identify counterparts to the submillimeter galaxies. For most cases of multiple radio counterparts, we can identify the correct counterpart from new and existing Submillimeter Array data. We have spectroscopic redshifts for 62% of the radio sources in the 9' radius highest sensitivity region (556/894) and 67% of the radio sources in the GOODS-N region (367/543). We supplement these with a modest number of additional photometric redshifts in the GOODS-N region (30). We measure millimetric redshifts from the radio to submillimeter flux ratios for the unidentified submillimeter sample, assuming an Arp 220 spectral energy distribution. We find a radio-flux-dependent K-z relation for the radio sources, which we use to estimate redshifts for the remaining radio sources. We determine the star formation rates (SFRs) of the submillimeter sources based on their radio powers and their submillimeter fluxes and find that they agree well. The radio data are deep enough to detect star-forming galaxies with SFRs>2000 M_{sun}_/yr to z~6. We find galaxies with SFRs up to ~6000 M_{sun}_/yr over the redshift range z=1.5-6, but we see evidence for a turn-down in the SFR distribution function above 2000 M_{sun}_/yr.

744. SDSS-based Polar Ring Catalogue
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/418/244
Title:
SDSS-based Polar Ring Catalogue
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/418/244
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Galaxies with polar rings (PRGs) are a unique class of extragalactic objects. Using these, we can investigate a wide range of problems, linked to the formation and evolution of galaxies, and we can study the properties of their dark haloes. The progress that has been made in the study of PRGs has been constrained by the small number of known objects of this type. The Polar Ring Catalogue (PRC) by Whitmore et al. (1990AJ....100.1489W) and their photographic atlas of PRGs and related objects includes 157 galaxies. At present, there are only about two dozen kinematically confirmed galaxies in this PRG class, mostly from the PRC. We present a new catalogue of PRGs, supplementing the PRC and significantly increasing the number of known candidate PRGs. The catalogue is based on the results of the original Galaxy Zoo project. Within this project, volunteers performed visual classifications of nearly a million galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Based on the preliminary classifications of the Galaxy Zoo, we viewed more than 40000 images of the SDSS and selected 275 galaxies to include in our catalogue.
745. SDSS bulge, disk and total stellar mass estimates
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/210/3
Title:
SDSS bulge, disk and total stellar mass estimates
Short Name:
J/ApJS/210/3
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalog of bulge, disk, and total stellar mass estimates for ~660000 galaxies in the Legacy area of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data (SDSS) Release 7. These masses are based on a homogeneous catalog of g- and r-band photometry described by Simard et al. (2011, Cat. J/ApJS/196/11), which we extend here with bulge+disk and Sersic profile photometric decompositions in the SDSS u, i, and z bands. We discuss the methodology used to derive stellar masses from these data via fitting to broadband spectral energy distributions (SEDs), and show that the typical statistical uncertainty on total, bulge, and disk stellar mass is ~0.15 dex. Despite relatively small formal uncertainties, we argue that SED modeling assumptions, including the choice of synthesis model, extinction law, initial mass function, and details of stellar evolution likely contribute an additional 60% systematic uncertainty in any mass estimate based on broadband SED fitting. We discuss several approaches for identifying genuine bulge+disk systems based on both their statistical likelihood and an analysis of their one-dimensional surface-brightness profiles, and include these metrics in the catalogs. Estimates of the total, bulge and disk stellar masses for both normal and dust-free models and their uncertainties are made publicly available here.
746. SDSS/CIG galaxies classification
ID:

Title:
SDSS/CIG galaxies classification
Short Name:
J/AJ/136/2115
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a re-evaluation of the optical morphology for 549 galaxies from the Catalog of Isolated Galaxies in the Northern Hemisphere (CIG) that are available in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS; DR6). Both the high resolution and high dynamic range of the SDSS images and our semiautomatic image processing scheme allow for a major quality and uniform morphological analysis. The processing scheme includes (1) sky-subtracted, cleaned, and logarithmic scaled g-band images, (2) filtered-enhanced versions of the images in (1), and (3) the corresponding red-green-blue (RGB) composed images available in the SDSS database. We propose an empirical method to distinguishing between E, S0, and Sa candidates through an additional analysis of (4) the surface brightness, position angle, ellipticity and A_4_B_4_ coefficients of the Fourier series expansion profiles. An atlas of mosaics containing (1), (2), and (3) images for Sab-Sm/Irr types and (1), (2), (3), (4) images for E/S0/Sa types was produced and is available on the Web site, http://132.248.1.210.
747. SDSS-DR8 galaxies classified by WND-CHARM
ID:

Title:
SDSS-DR8 galaxies classified by WND-CHARM
Short Name:
J/ApJS/223/20
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have applied computer analysis to classify the broad morphological types of ~3x10^6^ Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxies. For each galaxy, the catalog provides the DR8 object ID, the R.A., the decl., and the certainty for the automatic classification as either spiral or elliptical. The certainty of the classification allows us to control the accuracy of a subset of galaxies by sacrificing some of the least certain classifications. The accuracy of the catalog was tested using galaxies that were classified by the manually annotated Galaxy Zoo catalog. The results show that the catalog contains ~900000 spiral galaxies and ~600000 elliptical galaxies with classification certainty that has a statistical agreement rate of ~98% with the Galaxy Zoo debiased "superclean" data set. The catalog also shows that objects assigned by the SDSS pipeline with a relatively high redshift (z>0.4) can have clear visual spiral morphology.
748. SDSS DR7 galaxy/QSOs pairs
ID:

Title:
SDSS DR7 galaxy/QSOs pairs
Short Name:
J/AJ/142/122
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The aim of this project is to identify low-redshift host galaxies of quasar absorption-line systems by selecting galaxies that are seen in projection onto quasar sightlines. To this end, we use the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to construct a parent sample of 97489 galaxy/quasar projections at impact parameters of up to 100 kpc to the foreground galaxy. We then search the quasar spectra for absorption-line systems of CaII and NaI within +/-500km/s1 of the galaxy's velocity. This yields 92 CaII and 16 NaI absorption systems.
749. SDSS-DR8 groups and clusters of galaxies
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/540/A106
Title:
SDSS-DR8 groups and clusters of galaxies
Short Name:
J/A+A/540/A106
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We create a new catalogue of groups and clusters for the SDSS Data Release 8 sample. We add environmental parameters to our catalogue, together with other galaxy parameters (e.g., morphology), missing from our previous catalogues. We use a modified friends-of-friends (FoF) method with a variable linking length in the transverse and radial directions to eliminate selection effects and to find reliably as many groups as possible to track the supercluster network. We use the groups of galaxies as a basis to determine the luminosity density field. We take into account various selection effects caused by a magnitude limited sample. Our final sample contains 576493 galaxies and 77858 groups. The group catalogue is available at http://www.aai.ee/~elmo/dr8groups/ and from the Strasbourg Astronomical Data Center (CDS).
750. SDSS DR7 groups of galaxies
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/514/A102
Title:
SDSS DR7 groups of galaxies
Short Name:
J/A+A/514/A102
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We extract groups of galaxies as flux-limited and volume-limited samples from the SDSS Data Release 7 to study the supercluster-void network and environmental properties of groups therein. Volume-limited catalogues are particularly useful for comparison of numerical simulations of dark matter halos and the large-scale structure with observations. Extraction of a volume-limited sample of galaxies and groups requires special care to avoid excluding too much observational data. We use a modified friends-of-friends (FoF) method with a slightly variable linking length to obtain a preliminary flux-limited sample. We use the flux-limited groups as the basic sample to include as many galaxies as possible in the volume-limited samples. To determine the scaling of the linking length we calibrated group sizes and mean galaxy number densities within groups by magnitude dilution of a nearby group sub-sample to follow the properties of groups with higher luminosity limits. Our final flux-limited sample contains 78800 groups, and volume-limited subsamples with absolute magnitude limits M_r_=-18, -19, -20, and -21 contain 5463, 12590, 18973, and 9139 groups, respectively, in the DR7 main galaxy main area survey. The spatial number densities of our groups within the subsamples, as well as the mean sizes and rms velocities of our groups practically do not change from sub-sample to sub-sample. This means that the catalogues are homogeneous and well suited for comparison with simulations.
