H-band spectroscopic analysis of 25 bright M31 GCs

Description:
Chemical abundances are presented for 25 M31 globular clusters (GCs), based on moderately high resolution (R=22500) H-band integrated light (IL) spectra from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). Infrared (IR) spectra offer lines from new elements, lines of different strengths, and lines at higher excitation potentials compared to the optical. Integrated abundances of C, N, and O are derived from CO, CN, and OH molecular features, while Fe, Na, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, and Ti abundances are derived from atomic features. These abundances are compared to previous results from the optical, demonstrating the validity and value of IR IL analyses. The CNO abundances are consistent with typical tip of the red giant branch stellar abundances but are systematically offset from optical Lick index abundances. With a few exceptions, the other abundances agree between the optical and the IR within the 1{sigma} uncertainties. The first integrated K abundances are also presented and demonstrate that K tracks the {alpha} elements. The combination of IR and optical abundances allows better determinations of GC properties and enables probes of the multiple populations in extragalactic GCs. In particular, the integrated effects of the Na/O anticorrelation can be directly examined for the first time.

H{beta} and Ly{alpha} emitting galaxies at z~2

Description:
We compare the H{beta} line strengths of 1.90<z<2.35 star-forming galaxies observed with the near-IR grism of the Hubble Space Telescope with ground-based measurements of Ly{alpha} from the HETDEX Pilot Survey and narrow-band imaging. By examining the line ratios of 73 galaxies, we show that most star-forming systems at this epoch have a Ly{alpha} escape fraction below ~6%.

H{beta} and V-band light curves of NGC 4051

Description:
We present the first results from a high sampling rate, multimonth reverberation mapping campaign undertaken primarily at MDM Observatory with supporting observations from telescopes around the world. The primary goal of this campaign was to obtain either new or improved H{beta} reverberation lag measurements for several relatively low luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We feature results for NGC 4051 here because, until now, this object has been a significant outlier from AGN scaling relationships, e.g., it was previously a ~2-3{sigma} outlier on the relationship between the broad-line region (BLR) radius and the optical continuum luminosity - the R_BLR_-L relationship. Our new measurements of the lag time between variations in the continuum and H{beta} emission line made from spectroscopic monitoring of NGC 4051 lead to a measured BLR radius of R_BLR_=1.87^+0.54^_-0.50_ light days and black hole mass of M_BH_=(1.73^+0.55^_-0.52_)x10^6^M_{sun}_. We also present a preliminary look at velocity-resolved H{beta} light curves and time delay measurements, although we are unable to reconstruct an unambiguous velocity-resolved reverberation signal.

H{beta} to N2 line fluxes of nearby galaxies

Description:
We present calibrations for star formation rate (SFR) indicators in the ultraviolet, mid-infrared, and radio-continuum bands, including one of the first direct calibrations of 150MHz as an SFR indicator. Our calibrations utilize 66 nearby star-forming galaxies with Balmer-decrement-corrected H{alpha} luminosities, which span five orders of magnitude in SFR and have absolute magnitudes of -24<M_r_{<}-12. Most of our photometry and spectrophotometry are measured from the same region of each galaxy, and our spectrophotometry has been validated with SDSS photometry, so our random and systematic errors are small relative to the intrinsic scatter seen in SFR indicator calibrations. We find that the Wide-field Infrared Space Explorer W4 (22.8{mu}m), Spitzer 24{mu}m, and 1.4GHz bands have tight correlations with the Balmer-decrement-corrected H{alpha} luminosity, with a scatter of only 0.2dex. Our calibrations are comparable to those from the prior literature for L* galaxies, but for dwarf galaxies, our calibrations can give SFRs that are far greater than those derived from most previous literature.
1465. HCG and RSCG compact group galaxies with WISE

Title:
HCG and RSCG compact group galaxies with WISE
Short Name:
J/ApJ/821/113
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Compact groups provide an environment to study the growth of galaxies amid multiple prolonged interactions. With their dense galaxy concentrations and relatively low velocity dispersions, compact groups mimic the conditions of hierarchical galaxy assembly. Compact group galaxies are known to show a bimodality in Spitzer IRAC infrared color space: galaxies are preferentially either quiescent with low specific star formation rates (SSFRs) or prolifically forming stars-galaxies with moderate levels of specific star formation are rare. Previous Spitzer IRAC studies identifying this "canyon" have been limited by small number statistics. We utilize whole-sky Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) data to study 163 compact groups, thereby tripling our previous sample and including more galaxies with intermediate mid-IR colors indicative of moderate SSFRs. We define a distinct WISE mid-IR color space (log[f_12_/f_4.6_]) versus (log[f_22_/f_3.4_]) that we use to identify canyon galaxies from the larger sample. We confirm that compact group galaxies show a bimodal distribution in the mid-infrared and identify 37 canyon galaxies with reliable photometry and intermediate mid-IR colors. Morphologically, we find that the canyon harbors a large population of both Sa-Sbc and E/S0 type galaxies, and that they fall on the optical red sequence rather than the green valley. Finally, we provide a catalog of WISE photometry for 567 of 652 galaxies selected from the sample of 163 compact groups.
1466. HCN(1-0) cube for the nucleus of M51

HCN(1-0) cube for the nucleus of M51

Description:
AGN feedback is invoked as one of the most relevant mechanisms that shape the evolution of galaxies. Our goal is to understand the interplay between AGN feedback and the interstellar medium in M51, a nearby spiral galaxy with a modest AGN and a kpc-scale radio jet expanding through the disc of the galaxy. For that, we combine molecular gas observations in the CO(1-0) and HCN(1-0) lines from the Plateau de Bure interferometer with archival radio, X-ray, and optical data. We show that there is a significant scarcity of CO emission in the ionisation cone, while molecular gas emission tends to accumulate towards the edges of the cone. The distribution and kinematics of CO and HCN line emission reveal AGN feedback effects out to r~500pc, covering the whole extent of the radio jet, with complex kinematics in the molecular gas which displays strong local variations. We propose that this is the result of the almost coplanar jet pushing on molecular gas in different directions as it expands; the effects are more pronounced in HCN than in CO emission, probably as the result of radiative shocks. Following previous interpretation of the redshifted molecular line in the central 5" as caused by a molecular outflow, we estimate the outflow rates to be Mdot_H2~0.9M_{sun}_/yr and dM/dt_dense_~0.6M_{sun}_/yr, which are comparable to the molecular inflow rates (~1M_{sun}_/yr); gas inflow and AGN feedback could be mutually regulated processes. The agreement with findings in other nearby radio galaxies suggests that this is not an isolated case, and probably the paradigm of AGN feedback through radio jets, at least for galaxies hosting low-luminosity active nuclei.
1467. hCOSMOS: Hectospec survey of galaxies in COSMOS
ID:

Title:
hCOSMOS: Hectospec survey of galaxies in COSMOS
Short Name:
J/ApJS/234/21
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We describe the hCOSMOS redshift survey of the COSMOS field conducted with the Hectospec spectrograph on the MMT. In the central 1deg^2^, the hCOS20.6 subset of the survey is >90% complete to a limiting magnitude r=20.6. The hCOSMOS survey includes 1701 new redshifts in the COSMOS field. We also use the total of 4362 new and remeasured objects to derive the age-sensitive D_n_4000 index over the entire redshift interval 0.001<~z<~0.6. For 85% of the quiescent galaxies in hCOS20.6, we measure the central line-of-sight velocity dispersion. To explore potential uses of this survey, we combine previously measured galaxy sizes, profiles, and stellar masses with the spectroscopy. The comparison reveals the known relations among structural, kinematic, and stellar population properties. We also compare redshift and D_n_4000 distributions of hCOS20.6 galaxies with SHELS; a complete spectroscopic survey of 4deg^2^ observed to the same depth. The redshift distributions in the two fields are very different, but the D_n_4000 distribution is remarkably similar. The relation between velocity dispersion and stellar mass for massive hCOS20.6 galaxies is consistent with the local relation from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Using measured velocity dispersions, we test a photometric proxy calibrated to galaxies in the local universe. The systematic differences between the measured and photometric proxy velocity dispersions are correlated with galaxy dynamical and stellar population properties highlighting the importance of direct spectroscopic measurements.
1468. HDF early-type and spiral galaxies
ID:

Title:
HDF early-type and spiral galaxies
Short Name:
J/ApJ/551/111
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We analyze the internal optical colors of a complete sample of I_814_<24mag early-type and spiral galaxies from the northern and southern Hubble Deep Fields (HDF). The subset of galaxies in the HDF-North are also investigated in the near-infrared using NICMOS photometry. We compare the central (inner 5% radius) colors of those spirals with clearly visible bulges with the integrated colors of ellipticals in our sample.
1469. HDF flanking fields and related data
ID:

Title:
HDF flanking fields and related data
Short Name:
J/ApJ/481/673
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
File flanking.dat contains Unpublished Catalogue of Galaxies identified by the DEEP Team in the Flanking Fields. This is the source catalogue that Vogt et al. (1997ApJ...479L.121V), Phillips et al. (1997ApJ...489..543P), Guzman et al. (1997ApJ...489..559G), and Mendez & Guzman (1998A&A...333..106M) used to select objects. The photometry in this catalogue was carried out using circular apertures of 3 arcsec diameter, as described by Phillips et al. (1997ApJ...489..543P). These will present small differences (~0.12mag, rms) relative to published values for the sample of 51 compact galaxies that were analysed by Phillips et al. (1997ApJ...489..543P) and Guzman et al. (1997ApJ...489..559G). This is because for the papers, the I(814) magnitudes were recalculated using elliptical apertures to 8 arcsec. The differences should only be significant in the case of galaxies with larger apparent sizes or with elongated shapes.
