Near IR properties of Galaxy disks

Description:
We have derived the near-infrared structural components of a sample of Seyfert and starburst (SBN) host galaxies by fitting near-infrared images with a new two-dimensional decomposition algorithm. An analysis of the fitted parameters shows that Seyfert 1 and SBN bulges resemble normal early-type bulges in structure and color, with (J-K)^c^_b_ about 0.1 mag redder than disk (J-K)^c^_d_. Seyfert 2 bulges, on the other hand, are bluer than normal, with (J-K)^c^_b_{approx}(J-K)^c^_d_. Seyfert disks (especially type 1), but not those of SBNs, are abnormally bright (in surface brightness), significantly more so than even the brightest normal disks. Seyfert disks are also compact, but similar to those in normal early-type spirals. For a given mass, Seyfert and particularly SBN galaxies are abnormally rich in neutral hydrogen, and there is strong, albeit indirect, evidence for lower mass-to-light (M/L) ratios in Seyfert and SBN disks, but normal M/L ratios in their bulges. In Seyfert and SBN galaxies, H I mass fractions and M/L ratios are anticorrelated, and we attribute the high gas mass fractions and low M/L ratios in SBNs and several Seyfert galaxies to ongoing star formation. Such abundant gas in Seyfert galaxies would be expected to inhibit bar formation, which may explain why active galaxies are not always barred.

Description:
To investigate the ingredients, which allow star-forming galaxies to present Ly{alpha} line in emission, we studied the kinematics and gas phase metallicity of the interstellar medium. We used multi-object near-infrared spectroscopy with Magellan/MMIRS to study nebular emission from z=~2-3 star-forming galaxies discovered in three MUSYC fields.
2504. Neighborhoods of 36 loose groups of galaxies
ID:

Title:
Neighborhoods of 36 loose groups of galaxies
Short Name:
J/AJ/109/1458
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have selected 36 loose groups of galaxies from Ramella et al. 1989, with at least five members, and with mean redshift cz>3200km/s. These groups all lie within the first two "slices" of the CfA redshift survey <VII/164> (RA between 8h and 17h, DE between 2655.5 and 38.5 degrees). For each of these groups, we define the "redshift-space neighbourhood" as a region centered on the group coordinates and delimited by a circle of projected radius 1.5xh^-1^ Mpc on the sky, and by a velocity interval of 3000km/s. Table 2 lists the positions, magnitudes, radial velocities (cz) and their errors, for the members of the groups published in RGH89. Coordinates and magnitudes are from Zwicky's CGCG <VII/4>. Unpublished redshifts are marked with an asterisk in the last column. Table 3 lists galaxies within 1.5Mpc (assuming H0=100) and +/-1500 km/s from the centers of the groups in redshift space. Magnitudes and positions are from the Zwicky-Nielsen merged catalog. Some coordinates are better coordinates than Zwicky's, some come from compilations of redshift data that we have used to complement our measurements. Unpublished redshifts are marked with an asterisk in the last column. In this table some galaxies appear twice because a few groups do overlap. We listed the galaxies in common under the labels of both groups.
2505. NEP deep survey at 11um
ID:

Title:
NEP deep survey at 11um
Short Name:
J/PASJ/59/S529
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the properties of 11um selected sources detected in the early data of the North Ecliptic Pole Deep (NEP-Deep) Survey of AKARI. The data set covers 6 wavelength bands from 2.5 to 11um, with exposure times of 10-20 minutes. This field lies within the CFHT survey with four filter bands (g', r', i', z'), enabling us to establish nearly continuous spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for wavelengths ranging from 0.4 to 11um. The main sample studied here consists of 72 sources whose 11um AB magnitudes are equal to or brighter than 18.5 (144uJy), which is complete to more than 90%. The 11um band has an advantage of sampling star-forming galaxies with low-to-medium redshifts, since the prominent PAH feature shifts into this band. As expected, we find that the majority (71%) of 11um bright sources are star-forming galaxies at 0.2~<z~<0.7 with L_IR_~10^10^-10^12^~L_{sun}_ based on detailed modelling of the SEDs. We also find four AGNs lying at various redshifts in the main sample. In addition, we discuss a few sources that have non-typical SEDs of the main sample, including a brown-dwarf candidate, a steep power-law source, a flat-spectrum object, and an early-type galaxy at moderate redshift.
2506. NEP Distant Cluster Radio Galaxies
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/446/97
Title:
NEP Distant Cluster Radio Galaxies
Short Name:
J/A+A/446/97
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
A complete sample of 18 X-ray selected clusters of galaxies belonging to the ROSAT North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) survey has been observed with the Very Large Array at 1.4GHz in B configuration. These are the most distant clusters in the X-ray survey with redshift in the range 0.3<z<0.8. Seventy-nine radio sources are detected within half an Abell radius with an observed peak brightness >=0.17mJy/beam, except for three sources, belonging to the same cluster, which have a higher peak brightness limit of 0.26mJy/beam. The NEP field source counts are in good agreement with the source counts of a comparison survey, the VLA-VIRMOS deep field survey, indicating that the NEP sample is statistically complete. Thirty-two out of the 79 sources are within 0.2 Abell radii, twenty-two of them are considered cluster members based on spectroscopic redshifts or their optical magnitude and morphological classification. The cluster radio galaxies are used to construct the Radio Luminosity Function (RLF) of distant X-ray selected clusters. A comparison with two nearby cluster RLFs shows that the NEP RLF lies above the local ones, has a steeper slope at low radio powers (<=10^24^W/Hz) and shows no evidence for a break at about 6x10^24^W/Hz which is observed in the nearby cluster RLFs. We discuss briefly the origin and possible explanations of the differences observed in the radio properties of nearby and distant clusters of galaxies. The main result of this study is that the RLF of the distant X-ray clusters is very different from that of the local rich Abell clusters.
2507. NEP source catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/172/583
Title:
NEP source catalog
Short Name:
J/ApJS/172/583
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a five-band (u* g' r' i' z') optical photometry catalog of the sources in the North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) region based on deep observations made with MegaCam at CFHT. The source catalog covers about 2 square degree area centered at the NEP and reaches depths of about 26mag for u*, g', r' bands, about 25mag for i' band, and about 24mag for z' band (4{sigma} detection over a 1" aperture). The total number of cataloged sources brighter than r'=23mag is about 56000 including both point sources and extended sources. From the investigation of photometric properties using the color- magnitude diagrams and color-color diagrams, we have found that the colors of extended sources are mostly (u*-r')<3.0 and (g'-z')>0.5. This can be used to separate the extended sources from the point sources reliably, even for the faint source domain where typical morphological classification schemes hardly work efficiently. We have derived an empirical color-redshift relation of the red sequence galaxies using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data. By applying this relation to our photometry catalog and searching for any spatial overdensities, we have found two galaxy clusters and one nearby galaxy group.
2508. Neutron-capture elements in dwarf galaxies
ID:

Title:
Neutron-capture elements in dwarf galaxies
Short Name:
J/A+A/631/A171
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The heavy elements (Z>30) are created in neutron (n)-capture processes which are predicted to happen at vastly different nucleosynthetic sites. To study these processes in an environment different from the Milky Way, we target the n-capture elements in red giant branch stars in the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Using ESO VLT/FLAMES spectra, we measure the chemical abundances of Y, Ba, La, Nd, and Eu, in 98 stars covering the metalliticy range -2.4<[Fe/H]<-0.9. This is the first paper in a series about the n-capture elements in dwarf galaxies, and here we focus on the relative and absolute timescales of the slow (s)- and rapid (r)- processes in Sculptor. From the abundances of the s-process element Ba and the r-process element Eu, it is clear that the r-process enrichment occurred throughout the entire chemical evolution history of Sculptor. Furthermore, there is no evidence for the r-process to have a significant time delay relative to core-collapse supernovae. Neutron star mergers are therefore unlikely the dominant (or only) nucleosynthetic site of the r-process. However, the products of the s-process only become apparent at [Fe/H]~=-2 in Sculptor, and the s-process becomes the dominant source of Ba at [Fe/H]>~-2. We test the use of [Y/Mg] and [Ba/Mg] as chemical clocks in Sculptor. Similarly to what is observed in the Milky Way, [Y/Mg] and [Ba/Mg] increase towards younger ages. However, there is an offset in the trends, where the abundance ratios of [Y/Mg] in Sculptor are significantly lower than those of the Milky Way at any given age. This is most likely caused by metallicity dependence of yields from the s-process, as well as different relative contribution of the s-process to core-collapse supernovae in these galaxies. Comparisons of our data with that of the Milky Way and the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy furthermore show that these chemical clocks are both metallicity and environment dependent.
2509. New candidate globular clusters in NGC 5128

Title:
New candidate globular clusters in NGC 5128
Short Name:
J/AJ/143/84
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have used new wide-field imaging with the Magellan IMACS camera to search for globular cluster (GC) candidates around NGC 5128, the nearest giant E galaxy. The imaging data are in the B and R broadband filters and cover a 1.55 deg^2^ field centered on the galaxy, corresponding to an area about 90*90kpc^2^ at the distance of NGC 5128. All the fields were taken under exceptionally high-quality seeing conditions (FWHM=0.4-0.5" in R). Using this material we are able, for the first time in the literature, to construct a homogeneous list of GC candidates covering a wide span of the NGC 5128 halo and unusually free of field contaminants (foreground stars and faint background galaxies). Selecting the measured objects by color, magnitude, ellipticity, and profile size gives us a final catalog of 833 new high-quality GC candidates brighter than R=21 (0.8mag fainter than the standard GC luminosity function turnover point). The measured positions have better than 0.2" precision in both coordinates.
2510. New classification of CALIFA galaxies
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/469/2539
Title:
New classification of CALIFA galaxies
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/469/2539
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a galaxy classification system for 238 (E1-Sdm) CALIFA (Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area) galaxies based on the shapes and amplitudes of their circular velocity curves (CVCs). We infer the CVCs from the de-projected surface brightness of the galaxies, after scaling by a constant mass-to-light ratio based on stellar dynamics - solving axisymmetric Jeans equations via fitting the second velocity moment V_rms_=sqrt{V^2^+{sigma}^2^} of the stellar kinematics. We use principal component analysis (PCA) applied to the CVC shapes to find characteristic features and use a k-means classifier to separate circular curves into classes. This objective classification method identifies four different classes, which we name slow-rising (SR), flat (FL), round-peaked (RP) and sharp-peaked (SP) circular curves. SR are typical for low-mass, late-type (Sb-Sdm), young, faint, metal-poor and disc-dominated galaxies. SP are typical for high-mass, early-type (E1-E7), old, bright, metal-rich and bulge-dominated galaxies. FL and RP appear presented by galaxies with intermediate mass, age, luminosity, metallicity, bulge-to-disc ratio and morphologies (E4-S0a, Sa-Sbc). The discrepancy mass factor, f_d_=1-M_*_/M_dyn_, have the largest value for SR and SP classes (~74 per cent and ~71 per cent, respectively) in contrast to the FL and RP classes (with ~59 per cent and ~61 per cent, respectively). Circular curve classification presents an alternative to typical morphological classification and appears more tightly linked to galaxy evolution.
