Description:
We present interplanetary network localization information for 218 gamma-ray bursts in the third BATSE catalog obtained by analyzing the arrival times of these bursts with the Ulysses and Compton Gamma Ray Observatory spacecraft. For any given burst observed by these two spacecraft, arrival time analysis (or "triangulation") results in an annulus of possible arrival directions whose half-width varies between 7'' and 32', depending on the intensity and time history of the burst and the distance of the Ulysses spacecraft from Earth. This annulus generally intersects the BATSE error circle, which results in an average reduction of a factor of 30 of the error box area.

Description:
Deep observations of the Chandra Deep Field South have been secured at 15um with AKARI/IRC infrared space telescope. From these observations, we define a sample of mid infrared-selected galaxies at 15um and we also obtain 15um flux densities for a sample of Lyman Break Galaxies at z~1 already observed at 24um with Spitzer/MIPS.

3.6um S4G Galactic bars characterization

Description:
Stellar bars play an essential role in the secular evolution of disk galaxies because they are responsible for the redistribution of matter and angular momentum. Dynamical models predict that bars become stronger and longer in time, while their rotation speed slows down. We use the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S^4^G) 3.6um imaging to study the properties (length and strength) and fraction of bars at z=0 over a wide range of galaxy masses (M*~=10^8^-10^11^M_{sun}_) and Hubble types (-3<=T<=10). We calculated gravitational forces from the 3.6um images for galaxies with a disk inclination lower than 65{deg}. We used the maximum of the tangential-to-radial force ratio in the bar region (Qb) as a measure of the bar-induced perturbation strength for a sample of ~600 barred galaxies. We also used the maximum of the normalized m=2 Fourier density amplitude (A_2_^max^) and the bar isophotal ellipticity ({epsilon}) to characterize the bar. Bar sizes were estimated i) visually, ii) from ellipse fitting, iii) from the radii of the strongest torque, and iv) from the radii of the largest m=2 Fourier amplitude in the bar region. By combining our force calculations with the HI kinematics from the literature, we estimated the ratio of the halo-to-stellar mass (Mh/M*) within the optical disk and by further using the universal rotation curve models, we obtained a first-order model of the rotation curve decomposition of 1128 disk galaxies. We probe possible sources of uncertainty in our Qb measurements: the assumed scale height and its radial variation, the influence of the spiral arms torques, the effect of non-stellar emission in the bar region, and the dilution of the bar forces by the dark matter halo (our models imply that only ~10% of the disks in our sample are maximal). We find that for early- and intermediate-type disks (-3<=T<5), the relatively modest influence of the dark matter halo leads to a systematic reduction of the mean Qb by about 10-15%, which is of the same order as the uncertainty associated with estimating the vertical scale height. The halo correction on Qb becomes important for later types, implying a reduction of ~20-25% for T=7-10. Whether the halo correction is included or not, the mean Qb shows an increasing trend with T. However, the mean A_2_^max^ decreases for lower mass late-type systems. These opposing trends are most likely related to the reduced force dilution by bulges when moving towards later type galaxies. Nevertheless, when treated separately, both the early- and late-type disk galaxies show a strong positive correlation between Qb and A_2_^max^. For spirals the mean {epsilon}~0.5 is nearly independent of T, but it drops among S0s (~0.2). The Qb and {epsilon} show a relatively tight dependence, with only a slight difference between early and late disks. For spirals, all our bar strength indicators correlate with the bar length (scaled to isophotal size). Late-type bars are longer than previously found in the literature. The bar fraction shows a double-humped distribution in the Hubble sequence (~75% for Sab galaxies), with a local minimum at T=4 (~40%), and it drops for M*<~10^9.5-10^M_{sun}_. If we use bar identification methods based on Fourier decomposition or ellipse fitting instead of the morphological classification, the bar fraction decreases by ~30-50% for late-type systems with T>=5 and correlates with Mh/M*. Our Mh/M* ratios agree well with studies based on weak lensing analysis, abundance matching, and halo occupation distribution methods, under the assumption that the halo inside the optical disk contributes roughly a constant fraction of the total halo mass (~4%). We find possible evidence for the growth of bars within a Hubble time, as (1) bars in early-type galaxies show larger density amplitudes and disk-relative sizes than their intermediate-type counterparts, and (2) long bars are typically strong. We also observe two clearly distinct types of bars, between early- and intermediate-type galaxies (T<5) on one side, and the late-type systems on the other, based on the differences in the bar properties. Most likely this distinction is connected to the higher halo-to-stellar ratio that we observe in later types, which affects the disk stability properties.
894. UNAM-KIAS catalog of isolated galaxies

Title:
UNAM-KIAS catalog of isolated galaxies
Short Name:
J/AJ/139/2525
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
A new catalog of isolated galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 (SDSS DR5) is presented. A total of 1520 isolated galaxies were found in 1.4sr of sky. The selection criteria in this UNAM-KIAS catalog are a variation on the criteria developed by Karachentseva, including full redshift information. Through an image processing pipeline that takes advantage of the high-resolution (~0.4"/pix) and high dynamic range of the SDSS images, a uniform g-band morphological classification for all these galaxies is presented.
895. Unbiased sample of CSS and GPS
ID:

Title:
Unbiased sample of CSS and GPS
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/416/1135
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Compact Steep Spectrum (CSS) and Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) sources are classes of compact, powerful, extragalactic objects. These sources are thought to be the earliest stages in the evolution of radio galaxies, capturing the ignition (or, in some cases, re-ignition) of the active galactic nucleus. As well as serving as probes of the early stages of large-scale radio sources, these sources are good, stable, amplitude calibrators for radio telescopes. We present an unbiased flux density limited (>1.5Jy at 2.7GHz) catalogue of these objects in the Southern hemisphere, including tabulated data, radio spectra, and where available, optical images and measurements. The catalogue contains 26 sources, consisting of two new candidates and 15 known CSS sources, and nine known GPS sources. We present new Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) data on 10 of these 26 sources, and data on a further 42 sources which were excluded from our final sample. This bright sample will serve as a reference sample for comparison with subsequent faint (mJy level) samples of CSS and GPS candidates currently being compiled.
896. Updated catalog of GALEX nearby galaxies
ID:

Title:
Updated catalog of GALEX nearby galaxies
Short Name:
J/ApJS/220/6
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The ultraviolet (UV) catalog of nearby galaxies compiled by Gil de Paz et al. (2007, J/ApJS/173/185) presents the integrated photometry and surface brightness profiles for 1034 nearby galaxies observed by GALEX. We provide an updated catalog of 4138 nearby galaxies based on the latest General Release (GR6/GR7) of GALEX. These galaxies are selected from HyperLeda with apparent diameters larger than 1'. From the surface brightness profiles accurately measured using the deep NUV and FUV images, we have calculated the asymptotic magnitudes, aperture (D25) magnitudes, colors, structural parameters (effective radii and concentration indices), luminosities, and effective surface brightness for these galaxies. Archival optical and infrared photometry from HyperLeda, 2MASS, and IRAS are also integrated into the catalog. Our parameter measurements and some analyses are consistent with those of Paz et al. The (FUV-K) color provides a good criterion to distinguish between early- and late-type galaxies, which can be improved further using the concentration indices. The IRX-{beta} relation is reformulated with our UV-selected nearby galaxies.

Description:
We spent a solid overview of the infrared and visual images 18020 2MFGC galaxies selected in the automatic mode of 1.64 million. Extended objects XSC-2MASS catalog with respect infrared axes, a/b>=3. This work is aimed at excluding "spurious" objects from the list of flattened galaxies. Browse more than 80000 images in different filters were able to identify 1512 (8.4% of the total) of such objects. Found duplicate in 2MASS measurements of 23 galaxies with, respectively, two rooms 2MFGC, and 3 flat galaxy, not accounted for in other directories and in close proximity with the three "spurious" galaxies. The main part of the excluded facilities accounted for magnitudes less Ks=13mag. They are characterized by small angular size, low surface brightness and the concentration index. Exception objects identified significantly reduced the spread of values in the two-dimensional distribution. Results of work in the form of notes will be placed in the astronomical database VizieR, NED, HYPERLEDA.
898. Updated nearby galaxy catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/145/101
Title:
Updated nearby galaxy catalog
Short Name:
J/AJ/145/101
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present an all-sky catalog of 869 nearby galaxies having individual distance estimates within 11Mpc or corrected radial velocities V_LG_<600km/s. The catalog is a renewed and expanded version of the Catalog of Neighboring Galaxies by Karachentsev et al (2004, cat. J/AJ/127/2031). It collects data on the following galaxy observables: angular diameters, apparent magnitudes in far-UV, B, and K_s_bands, H{alpha} and HI fluxes, morphological types, HI-line widths, radial velocities, and distance estimates. In this Local Volume (LV) sample, 108 dwarf galaxies still remain without measured radial velocities. The catalog yields also calculated global galaxy parameters: linear Holmberg diameter, absolute B magnitude, surface brightness, HI mass, stellar mass estimated via K-band luminosity, HI rotational velocity corrected for galaxy inclination, indicative mass within the Holmberg radius, and three kinds of "tidal index," which quantify the local density environment. The catalog is supplemented with data based on the local galaxies, which presents their optical and available H{alpha} images, as well as other services. We briefly discuss the Hubble flow within the LV and different scaling relations that characterize galaxy structure and global star formation in them. We also trace the behavior of the mean stellar mass density, HI-mass density, and star formation rate density within the volume considered.
899. Updated Zwicky catalog (UZC)
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/PASP/111/438
Title:
Updated Zwicky catalog (UZC)
Short Name:
J/PASP/111/438
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Zwicky Catalog of galaxies (ZC), with m_Zw_<=15.5, has been the basis for the Center for Astrophysics (CfA) redshift surveys. To date, analyses of the ZC and redshift surveys based on it have relied on heterogeneous sets of galaxy coordinates and redshifts. Here we correct some of the inadequacies of previous catalogs by providing (1) coordinates with ~<2" errors for all of the 19,369 catalog galaxies, (2) homogeneously estimated redshifts for the majority (98%) of the data taken at the CfA (14,632 spectra), and (3) an estimate of the remaining "blunder" rate for both the CfA redshifts and for those compiled from the literature. For the reanalyzed CfA data we include a calibrated, uniformly determined error and an indication of the presence of emission lines in each spectrum. We provide redshifts for 7257 galaxies in the CfA2 redshift survey not previously published; for another 5625 CfA redshifts we list the remeasured or uniformly rereduced value. Among our new measurements, 1807 are members of UZC "multiplets" associated with the original Zwicky catalog position in the coordinate range where the catalog is 98% complete.
900. Uppsala General Catalogue of Galaxies (UGC)
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/VII/26D
Title:
Uppsala General Catalogue of Galaxies (UGC)
Short Name:
VII/26D
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Uppsala General Catalogue of Galaxies (UGC) is an essentially complete catalogue of galaxies to a limiting diameter of 1.0' and/or to a limiting apparent magnitude of 14.5 on the blue prints of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS). Coverage is limited to the sky north of declination -02.5degrees. Galaxies smaller than 1.0' in diameter but brighter than 14.5 mag may be included from the Catalogue of Galaxies and of Clusters of Galaxies (CGCG, Zwicky et al. 1961-1968); all such galaxies in the CGCG are included in the UGC. The galaxies are ordered by 1950 right ascension. The catalogue contains descriptions of the galaxies and their surrounding areas, plus conventional system classifications and position angles for flattened galaxies. Galaxy diameters on both the blue and red POSS prints are included and the classifications and descriptions are given in such a way as to provide as accurate an account as possible of the appearance of the galaxies on the prints. Only the data portion of the published UGC is included in the machine-readable version. The order of the records is strictly by UGC number; i.e., the Addenda records follow their main catalogue counterparts in the file. The colons (indicating uncertainty) and various other codes (parentheses, brackets) are not included in the machine-readable version of the catalogue. Several possible improvements to the catalogue might consist of adding codes corresponding to the published version, a second file containing abbreviations and terminology and a third file with the extensive notes. It would also be important to add an asterisk or some other code to data records having a note in the proposed third file. This document describes the machine-readable version of the UGC as distributed by the Astronomical Data Centers. It is intended to enable users to read and process the data without problems or guesswork. For additional details regarding the classifications, measurement of apparent magnitudes, and data content, the source reference should be consulted. A copy of this document should accompany any machine-readable copy of the catalogue.
