- Description:
- We present central velocity dispersion measurements for 325 early-type galaxies in eight clusters and groups of galaxies, including new observations for 212 galaxies. The clusters and groups are the A262, A1367, Coma (A1656), A2634, Cancer, and Pegasus Clusters and the NGC 383 and NGC 507 Groups. The new measurements were derived from medium-dispersion spectra that cover 600{AA} centered on the Mg I b triplet at {lambda}~5175{AA}. Velocity dispersions were measured using the Tonry & Davis (1979AJ.....84.1511T) cross-correlation method, with a typical accuracy of 6%. A detailed comparison with other data sources is made.

- Description:
- In this work we analyze the spectroscopic properties of a large number of HII regions, ~2600, located in 38 galaxies. The sample of galaxies has been assembled from the face-on spirals in the PINGS survey and a sample described in Marmol-Queralto (2011A&A...534A...8M). All the galaxies were observed using Integral Field Spectroscopy with a similar setup, covering their optical extension up to ~2.4 effective radii within a wavelength range from ~3700 to ~6900{AA}. We develop a new automatic procedure to detect HII regions, based on the contrast of the H{alpha} intensity maps extracted from the datacubes. Once detected, the procedure provides us with the integrated spectra of each individual segmented region. In total, we derive good quality spectroscopic information for ~2600 independent HII regions/complexes. This is by far the largest nearby 2-dimensional spectroscopic survey presented on this kind of regions up-to-date. Even more, our selection criteria and dataset guarantee that we cover the regions in an unbiased way, regarding the spatial sampling. A well-tested automatic decoupling procedure has been applied to remove the underlying stellar population, deriving the main properties (intensity, dispersion and velocity) of the strongest emission lines in the considered wavelength range (covering from [OII]3727 to [SII]6731). A final catalogue of the spectroscopic properties of these regions has been created for each galaxy.

- Spectroscopy of 3<z<4 quiescent galaxies

- Description:
- We present Keck-MOSFIRE H and K spectra for a sample of 24 candidate quiescent galaxies at 3<z<4, identified from their rest-frame UVJ colors and photometric redshifts in the ZFOURGE and 3DHST surveys. With median integration times of one hour in H and five in K, we obtain spectroscopic redshifts for half of the sample, using either Balmer absorption lines or nebular emission lines. We confirm the high accuracy of the photometric redshifts for this spectroscopically-confirmed sample, with a median |Zphot-Zspec|/(1+Zspec) of 1.2%. Two galaxies turn out to be dusty H{alpha} emitters at lower redshifts (z<2.5), and these are the only two detected in the sub-mm with ALMA. High equivalent-width [OIII] emission is observed in two galaxies, contributing up to 30% of the K-band flux and mimicking the UVJ colors of an old stellar population. This implies a failure rate of only 20% for the UVJ selection at these redshifts. Lastly, Balmer absorption features are identified in four galaxies, among the brightest of the sample, confirming the absence of OB stars. We then modeled the spectra and photometry of all quiescent galaxies with a wide range of star-formation histories. We find specific star-formation rates (sSFR) lower than 0.15Gyr^-1^ (a factor of ten below the main sequence) for all but one galaxy, and lower than 0.01Gyr^-1^ for half of the sample. These values are consistent with the observed H{beta} and [OII] luminosities, and the ALMA non-detections. The implied formation histories reveal that these galaxies have quenched on average 300Myr prior to being observed, between z=3.5 and 5, and that half of their stars were formed by z~5.5 with a mean SFR~300M_{sun}_/yr. We finally compared the UVJ selection to a selection based instead on the sSFR, as measured from the photometry. We find that galaxies a factor of ten below the main sequence are 40% more numerous than UVJ-selected quiescent galaxies, implying that the UVJ selection is pure but incomplete. Current models fail at reproducing our observations, and underestimate either the number density of quiescent galaxies by more than an order of magnitude, or the duration of their quiescence by a factor two. Overall, these results confirm the existence of an unexpected population of quiescent galaxies at z>3, and offer the first insights on their formation histories.

- Description:
- We present a comprehensive catalog of high signal-to-noise ratio spectra obtained with DEIMOS on the Keck II telescope for a sample of F850LP<22.43mag(AB) field spheroidal (E+S0 galaxies; 165) and bulge-dominated disk (61) galaxies in the redshift range 0.2<z<1.2, selected on the basis of visual morphology from the northern field of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS-N). We discuss sample selection, photometric properties, and spectral reduction. We derive scale lengths, surface brightnesses, and photometric inhomogeneities from the ACS data and redshifts, stellar velocity dispersions, and [OII] and H{delta} equivalent widths from the Keck spectroscopy. Using the published 2Ms Chandra Deep Field-North X-ray catalog (Cat. <J/AJ/126/632>), we identify active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to clarify the origin of emission lines seen in the Keck spectra.

- Description:
- We present our first results on field X-ray sources detected in a deep, 184.7ks observation with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I) on the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The observations target the Lynx field (RA=08h48min, DE=+44{deg}54') of SPICES, the Spectroscopic Photometric Infrared-Chosen Extragalactic Survey, which contains three known X-ray-emitting clusters at redshifts of z=0.57, 1.26, and 1.27. Not including the known clusters, in the 17'x17' ACIS-I field we detect 132 sources in the 0.5-2keV (soft) X-ray band down to a limiting flux of ~1.7x10^-16^ergs/cm^2^/s and 11 sources in the 2-10keV (hard) X-ray band down to a limiting flux of ~1.3x10^-15^ergs/cm^2^/s. The combined catalog contains a total of 153 sources, of which 42 are detected only in the soft band and 21 are detected only in the hard band. Confirming previous Chandra results, we find that the fainter sources have harder X-ray spectra, providing a consistent solution to the long-standing "spectral paradox." From deep optical and near-infrared follow-up data, 77% of the X-ray sources have optical counterparts to I=24, and 71% of the X-ray sources have near-infrared counterparts to Ks=20. Four of the 24 sources in the near-IR field are associated with extremely red objects (EROs; I-Ks>=4). We have obtained spectroscopic redshifts with the Keck telescopes of 18 of the Lynx Chandra sources. These sources comprise a mix of broad-lined active galaxies, apparently normal galaxies, and two late-type Galactic dwarfs. Intriguingly, one Galactic source is identified with an M7 dwarf exhibiting nontransient, hard X-ray emission. Thirteen of the Chandra sources are located within regions for which we have Hubble Space Telescope imaging. Nine of the sources are detected, showing a range of morphologies: several show compact cores embedded within diffuse emission, while others are spatially extended showing typical galaxy morphologies. Two of the Chandra sources in this subsample appear to be associated with mergers. We briefly review non-active galactic nucleus mechanisms to produce X-ray emission and discuss properties of the Lynx Chandra sample in relation to other samples of X-ray and non-X-ray sources.

- Description:
- The Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S^4^G) is an Exploration Science Legacy Program approved for the Spitzer post-cryogenic mission. It is a volume-, magnitude-, and size-limited (d<40Mpc, |b|>30{deg}, m_Bcorr_<15.5, and D_25_>1') survey of 2331 galaxies using the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) at 3.6 and 4.5um. Each galaxy is observed for 240s and mapped to >=1.5D_25_. The final mosaicked images have a typical 1sigma rms noise level of 0.0072 and 0.0093MJy/sr at 3.6 and 4.5um, respectively. Our azimuthally averaged surface brightness profile typically traces isophotes at {mu}_3.6um_(AB)(1sigma)~27mag/arcsec^2^, equivalent to a stellar mass surface density of ~1M_{sun}_/pc^2^. thus provides an unprecedented data set for the study of the distribution of mass and stellar structures in the local universe. This large, unbiased, and extremely deep sample of all Hubble types from dwarfs to spirals to ellipticals will allow for detailed structural studies, not only as a function of stellar mass, but also as a function of the local environment. This article introduces the survey and describes the sample selection, the significance of the 3.6 and 4.5um bands for this study, and the data collection and survey strategies.

- Description:
- We present a multi-wavelength catalog in the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field (SXDF) as part of the Spitzer Large Area Survey with Hyper-Suprime-Cam (SPLASH). We include the newly acquired optical data from the Hyper-Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program, accompanied by IRAC coverage from the SPLASH survey. All available optical and near-infrared data is homogenized and resampled on a common astrometric reference frame. Source detection is done using a multi-wavelength detection image including the u-band to recover the bluest objects. We measure multi-wavelength photometry and compute photometric redshifts as well as physical properties for ~1.17 million objects over ~4.2deg^2^, with ~800000 objects in the 2.4deg^2^ HSC-Ultra-Deep coverage. Using the available spectroscopic redshifts from various surveys over the range of 0<z<6, we verify the performance of the photometric redshifts and we find a normalized median absolute deviation of 0.023 and outlier fraction of 3.2%. The SPLASH-SXDF catalog is a valuable, publicly available resource, perfectly suited for studying galaxies in the early universe and tracing their evolution through cosmic time.
