881. The Ogle et al. Galaxy Catalog (OGC)
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/243/14
Title:
The Ogle et al. Galaxy Catalog (OGC)
Short Name:
J/ApJS/243/14
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalog of the 1525 most optically luminous galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with r-band luminosity L_r_>8L* and redshift z<0.3, including 84 super spirals, 15 super lenticulars, 14 super post-merger galaxies, and 1400 giant ellipticals. With mass in stars of 10^11.3^-10^12^M_{sun}_, super spirals and lenticulars are the most massive disk galaxies currently known. The specific star formation rates of super spirals place them on or below the star-forming main sequence. They must have formed stars at a high rate throughout their history in order to grow their massive, gigantic stellar disks and maintain their blue u-r integrated colors. Their disks are red on the inside and blue on the outside, consistent with inside-out growth. They tend to have small bulge-to-total (B/T) r-band luminosity ratios, characteristic of disk building via minor mergers and cold accretion. A large percentage of super disk galaxies (41%) have double nuclei, double disks, or other signatures of ongoing mergers. Most (72%) are found in moderate- to low-density environments, while the rest are found at the outskirts of clusters. It is likely that super spirals survive in these environments because they continue to accrete cold gas and experience only minor mergers at late times, by virtue of their enormous masses and angular momenta. We suggest that super post-mergers are the product of super spiral major mergers and may be the precursors of some giant elliptical galaxies found in low-density environments.

Title:
The OTELO survey as morphological probe
Short Name:

Description:
The morphology of galaxies provide us with a unique tool to connect and understand other related physical properties and their changes over the course of cosmic time. Only recently, thanks to big and/or deep surveys, we have access to a wealth of data for unprecedented number galaxies. The morphological catalogue of the OTELO survey galaxies detected in Hubble Space Telescope (HST)-ACS F814W images is presented. We explore various methods from previous works to separate early-type (ET) and late-type (LT) galaxies classified via spectral energy distribution (SED) fittings using galaxy templates. Together with this article we release the catalogue containing main morphological parameters in F606W and F814W bands derived for more than 8000 sources. The morphological analysis is based on the single-Sersic profile fit. The GALAPAGOS-2 software was used in order to provide multi-wavelength morphological parameters fitted simultaneously in two HST-ACS bands. GALAPAGOS-2 detects, prepares guess values for GALFIT-M, and provides the best-fitting single-Sersic model in both bands for each source. Stellar masses were estimated using synthetic rest-frame magnitudes recovered from SED-fitting of galaxy templates. The morphological catalogue is complemented with concentration indexes from a separate SExtractor dual, high dynamical range mode. A total of 8812 sources were successfully fitted with single-Sersic profiles. The analysis of a carefully selected sample of ~3000 sources up to z_phot=2 is presented in this work, from which 873 sources were not detected in previous studies. We found no statistical evidence for the evolution of low-mass end of mass-size relation for ET and LT since z=2. Furthermore, we found a good agreement on the median size evolution for ET and LT galaxies, for a given stellar-mass, with data in the literature. Compared to previous works on faint field galaxies, we found similarities regarding rest-frame colours, Sersic and concentration indices.
883. The Parkes quarter-Jansky flat-spectrum sample

Title:
The Parkes quarter-Jansky flat-spectrum sample
Short Name:
J/A+A/386/97
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a new sample of quarter-Jansky flat-spectrum radio sources selected to search for high-redshift quasars and to study the evolution of the flat-spectrum quasar population. The sample comprises 878 radio sources selected from the Parkes catalogues with spectral indices {alpha}^5GHz^_2.7GHz_>=-0.4 where S_{nu}{prop.to}{nu}^{alpha}. The sample covers all right ascensions and the declination range from -80.0{deg} to +2.5{deg}, excluding low galactic latitudes (|b|<10{deg}) and the Magellanic Cloud regions. We have obtained improved radio source positions, firstly to reconfirm the majority of the existing identifications, and secondly, using digitized sky-survey data and deep B, Gunn-i and Gunn-z CCD-imaging, to find optical identifications for 223 previously-unidentified sources. We present the final catalogue of 878 flat-spectrum sources: 827 are compact radio sources identified with galaxies, quasars and BL Lac objects, 38 have either extended radio structure or are identified with Galactic objects (PN, HII or non-compact radio source), 4 are obscured by Galactic stars, and 9 (1 per cent of the total sample) remain unidentified.
884. The PMM USNO-A1.0 Catalogue
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/I/243
Title:
The PMM USNO-A1.0 Catalogue
Short Name:
I/243
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
USNO-A1.0 is a catalog of 488,006,860 sources whose positions can be used for astrometric references. These sources were detected by the Precision Measuring Machine (PMM) built and operated by the U. S. Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station during the scanning and processing of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey I (POSS-I) O and E plates, the UK Science Research Council SRC-J survey plates, and the European Southern Observatory ESO-R survey plates. The PMM detects and processes at and beyond the nominal limiting magnitude of these surveys, but the large number of spurious detections requires that a filter be used to eliminate as many as possible. USNO-A's sole inclusion requirement was that there be spatially coincident detections (within a 2 arcsecond radius aperture) on the blue and red survey plate. For field centers of -30 degrees and above, data come from POSS-I plates, while data from field centers of -35 and below come from SRC-J and ESO-R plates.

The 2RMS catalog in the Zone of Avoidance
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) Redshift Survey was started two decades ago with the goal of mapping the three-dimensional distribution of an all-sky flux-limited (Ks<11.75mag) sample of ~45000 galaxies. Our first data release presented an unprecedented uniform coverage for most of the celestial sphere, with redshifts for ~98% of our sample. However, we were missing redshifts for ~18% of the catalog entries that were located within the "Zone of Avoidance" (|b|<10{deg})-an important region of the sky for studies of the large-scale structure and cosmic flows. In this second and final data release, we present redshifts for all 1041 2MRS galaxies that previously lacked this information, as well as updated measurements for 27 others.
886. The Roma BZCAT - 5th edition
ID:

Title:
The Roma BZCAT - 5th edition
Short Name:
VII/274
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Roma-BZCAT is now at the 5th Edition which contains coordinates and multi-frequency data of 3561 sources, about 30% more than in the 1st edition, either confirmed blazars or exhibiting characteristics close to this type of sources. With respect to the previous editions, this new edition has relevant changes in the sources' classification and has a new format for the notes in the tables. We emphasize that all the sources in the Roma-BZCAT have a detection in the radio band. Moreover, a complete spectroscopic information is published and could be accessed by us for all of them, with the exception of BL Lac candidates. Consequently, peculiar sources as the so called "radio quiet BL Lacs", which are reported in some other catalogues, are not included here because of possible contamination with hot stars and other extragalactic objects.
887. The Second U.S. Naval Observatory CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC2)
ID:

Title:
The Second U.S. Naval Observatory CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC2)
Short Name:
ucac2
Date:
17 Jun 2006 18:44:05
Publisher:
Sternberg Astronomical Institute Virtual Observatory Project
Description:
The UCAC2 is the second release of the ongoing UCAC project, designed to observe the entire sky for R magnitudes of about 7.5 to 16. The observed positional errors are about 20 mas for the stars in the 10 to 14 magnitude range, and about 70 mas at the limiting magnitude of R ~16. For up-to-date information on the project, see our web page at http://ad.usno.navy.mil/ucac/ . This web page will also serve as the location that the UCAC team will post addenda to the UCAC2 catalog. The UCAC2 is a high density, highly accurate, astrometric catalog of 48,330,571 stars covering the sky from -90 to +40 degrees in declination and going up to +52 degrees in some areas. The northern limit is a function of right ascension. Proper motions and photometry are provided for all stars. Positions and proper motions are on the ICRS (International Celestial Reference System) and given at the epoch J2000.0. The UCAC2 has a number of major differences with respect to UCAC1. These differences include: - much larger sky coverage - reduced systematic errors of CCD observations - positions given at a standard epoch (J2000.0) - the addition of several new catalogs for improved proper motions - photometry in the J, H, and K_s bands from the 2MASS project - data in binary format for direct access - inclusion of software to aid users in quick access of the data Additional details of the data are found in Sections 3, 4, and 5 of this document.
888. The star catalogue of Wilhelm IV
ID:

Title:
The star catalogue of Wilhelm IV
Short Name:
J/A+A/649/A112
Date:
22 Feb 2022
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We analyse a manuscript star catalogue by Wilhem IV, Landgraf von Hessen-Kassel from 1586. From measurements of altitudes and of angles between stars, given in the catalogue, we find that the measurement accuracy averages 26 arcsec for eight fundamental stars, compared to 49 arcsec of the measurements by Brahe. The computation in converting altitudes to declinations and angles between stars to celestial position is very accurate, with errors negligible with respect to the measurement errors. Due to an offset in the position of the vernal equinox the positional error of the catalogue is slightly worse than that of Brahe's catalogue, but when correction is made for the offset -- which was known to 17th century astronomers -- the catalogue is more accurate than that of Brahe. We provide machine-readable Tables of the catalogue.
889. The Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey IV
ID:

Title:
The Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey IV
Short Name:
J/ApJS/107/201
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey consists of 1797 galaxies with b(J)<17.15 selected randomly at a rate of 1 in 20 from Automated Plate Measurement (APM) scans. The survey covers a solid angle of 1.3sr (4300 square degrees) in the south galactic cap. Redshifts have been measured for 1790 (99.6%) of the galaxies. The median galaxy recession velocity is 15,300 km/s and so the volume probed is approximately V=1.38 million Mpc^3/h^3.

Title:
The supercluster-void network. I.
Short Name:
J/A+AS/123/119
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We use a compilation of redshifts of rich clusters by Andernach, Tago and Stengler-Larrea (1996, in preparation) to determine superclusters of rich clusters up to a redshift of z=0.12. Superclusters were searched for with a clustering algorithm, using a neighbourhood radius of 24h^-1^Mpc (h is the Hubble constant in units of 100km/s/Mpc). The catalogue contains 220 superclusters of rich clusters, of which 90 superclusters have been determined for the first time. Table A2 gives the supercluster number, its multiplicity, centre coordinates, a list of member clusters and identifications with the catalogue by Einasto et al. (1994MNRAS.269..301E).
