Description:
The Observations of Redshift Evolution in Large-Scale Environments (ORELSE) survey is an ongoing imaging and spectroscopic campaign initially designed to study the effects of environment on galaxy evolution in high-redshift (z~1) large-scale structures. We use its rich data in combination with a powerful new technique, Voronoi tessellation Monte-Carlo (VMC) mapping, to search for serendipitous galaxy overdensities at 0.55<z<1.37 within 15 ORELSE fields, a combined spectroscopic footprint of ~1.4 square degrees. Through extensive tests with both observational data and our own mock galaxy catalogs, we optimize the method's many free parameters to maximize its efficacy for general overdensity searches. Our overdensity search yielded 402 new overdensity candidates with precisely measured redshifts and an unprecedented sensitivity down to low total overdensity masses M_tot_>5*10^13^M_{sun}_). Using the mock catalogs, we estimated the purity and completeness of our overdensity catalog as a function of redshift, total mass, and spectroscopic redshift fraction, finding impressive levels of both 0.92/0.83 and 0.60/0.49 for purity/completeness at z=0.8 and z=1.2, respectively, for all overdensity masses at spectroscopic fractions of ~20%. With VMC mapping, we are able to measure precise systemic redshifts, provide an estimate of the total gravitating mass, and maintain high levels of purity and completeness at z~1 even with only moderate levels of spectroscopy. Other methods (e.g., red-sequence overdensities and hot medium reliant detections) begin to fail at similar redshifts, which attests to VMC mapping's potential to be a powerful tool for current and future wide-field galaxy evolution surveys at z~1 and beyond.

Description:
Using an [OIII]{lambda}5007 on-band/off-band filter technique, we identify 109 planetary nebulae (PNe) candidates in the edge-on spiral galaxy M 82, using the FOCAS instrument at the 8.2m Subaru Telescope. The use of ancillary high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys H{alpha} imaging aided in confirming these candidates, helping to discriminate PNe from contaminants such as supernova remnants and compact HII regions. Once identified, these PNe reveal a great deal about the host galaxy; our analysis covers kinematics, stellar distribution, and distance determination. Radial velocities were determined for 94 of these PNe using a method of slitless spectroscopy, from which we obtain a clear picture of the galaxy's rotation.
863. Disk brightness profiles in galaxies

Title:
Disk brightness profiles in galaxies
Short Name:
J/AJ/127/2085
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present an analysis of the disk brightness profiles of 218 spiral and lenticular galaxies. At least 28% of disk galaxies exhibit inner truncations in these profiles. There are no significant trends of truncation incidence with Hubble type, but the incidence among barred systems is 49%, more than 4 times that for non-barred galaxies. However, not all barred systems have inner truncations, and not all inner-truncated systems are currently barred. Truncations represent a real dearth of disk stars in the inner regions and are not an artifact of our selection or fitting procedures nor the result of obscuration by dust.

Title:
Disk corrugations in IC 2233
Short Name:
J/ApJ/688/237

Publisher:

Description:
We recently reported the discovery of a regular corrugation pattern in the HI disk of the isolated, edge-on spiral galaxy IC 2233. Here we present measurements of the vertical structure of this galaxy at several additional wavelengths, ranging from the far-ultraviolet to the far-infrared. We find that undular patterns with amplitude <~5"(<~250pc) are visible in a variety of Population I tracers in IC 2233, including the young to intermediate-age stars, the HII regions, and the dust. However, the vertical excursions become less pronounced in the older stellar populations traced by the mid-infrared light. This suggests that the process leading to the vertical displacements may be linked with the regulation of star formation in the galaxy. We have also identified a relationship between the locations of the density corrugations and small-amplitude (<~5km/s) velocity undulations in the HI rotation curve. We are able to exclude several possible mechanisms for the origin of the observed corrugations, including tidal interaction from a companion, Parker instabilities, or a galactic bore. Global gravitational instabilities appear to be the most likely explanation, although local perturbations may also be important.

Disk galaxies at 0.1<z<1.0

Description:
Galaxy scaling relations such as the Tully-Fisher relation (between the maximum rotation velocity Vmax and luminosity) and the velocity-size relation (between Vmax and the disk scale length) are powerful tools to quantify the evolution of disk galaxies with cosmic time. We took spatially resolved slit spectra of 261 field disk galaxies at redshifts up to z~1 using the FORS instruments of the ESO Very Large Telescope. The targets were selected from the FORS Deep Field and William Herschel Deep Field. Our spectroscopy was complemented with HST/ACS imaging in the F814W filter. We analyzed the ionized gas kinematics by extracting rotation curves from the two-dimensional spectra. Taking into account all geometrical, observational, and instrumental effects, these rotation curves were used to derive the intrinsic V_max. Neglecting galaxies with disturbed kinematics or insufficient spatial rotation curve extent, Vmax was reliably determined for 124 galaxies covering redshifts 0.05<z<0.97. This is one of the largest kinematic samples of distant disk galaxies to date. We compared this data set to the local B-band Tully-Fisher relation and the local velocity-size relation. The scatter in both scaling relations is a factor of ~2 larger at z~0.5 than at z~0. The deviations of individual distant galaxies from the local Tully-Fisher relation are systematic in the sense that the galaxies are increasingly overluminous toward higher redshifts, corresponding to an overluminosity {Delta}M_B_=-(1.2+/-0.5) mag at z=1. This luminosity evolution at given Vmax is probably driven by younger stellar populations of distant galaxies with respect to their local counterparts, potentially combined with modest changes in dark matter mass fractions. The analysis of the velocity-size relation reveals that disk galaxies of a given Vmax have grown in size by a factor of ~1.5 over the past ~8Gyr, most likely through accretion of cold gas and/or small satellites. From scrutinizing the combined evolution in luminosity and size, we find that the galaxies that show the strongest evolution toward smaller sizes at z~1 are not those that feature the strongest evolution in luminosity, and vice versa.

Dispersion-supported stellar systems

Description:
We examine scaling relations of dispersion-supported galaxies over more than eight orders of magnitude in luminosity by transforming standard fundamental plane parameters into a space of mass, radius, and luminosity. The radius variable r_1/2_ is the deprojected (three-dimensional) half-light radius, the mass variable M_1/2_ is the total gravitating mass within this radius, and L_1/2_ is half the luminosity. We find that from ultra-faint dwarf spheroidals to giant cluster spheroids, dispersion-supported galaxies scatter about a one-dimensional "fundamental curve" through this MRL space.
867. Distances for 2062 nearby spiral galaxies

Title:
Distances for 2062 nearby spiral galaxies
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/487/2061
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the final distance measurements for the 2MASS Tully-Fisher (2MTF) survey. The final 2MTF catalogue contains 2062 nearby spiral galaxies in the CMB frame velocity range of 600<cz<10000km/s with a mean velocity of 4805km/s. The main update in this release is the replacement of some archival HI data with newer ALFALFA data. Using the 2MTF template relation, we calculate the distances and peculiar velocities of all 2MTF galaxies. The mean uncertainties of the linear distance measurements are around 22 per cent in all three infrared bands. 2MTF measurements agree well with the distances from the Cosmicflows-3 compilation, which contains 1117 common galaxies, including 28 with SNIa distance measurements. Using distances estimated from the '3-bands combined' 2MTF sample and a {chi}^2^ minimization method, we find best-fitting bulk flow amplitudes of 308+/-26km/s, 318+/-29km/s, and 286+/-25km/s at depths of R_I_=20, 30 and 40h^-1^Mpc, respectively, which is consistent with the {LAMNDA}CDM model and with previous 2MTF results with different estimation techniques and a preliminary catalogue.
868. Distances of local galaxies

Distances of local galaxies

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Any calibration of the present value of the Hubble constant (H_0_) requires recession velocities and distances of galaxies. While the conversion of observed velocities into true recession velocities has only a small effect on the result, the derivation of unbiased distances which rest on a solid zero point and cover a useful range of about 4-30Mpc is crucial. A list of 279 such galaxy distances within v<2000km/s is given which are derived from the tip of the red-giant branch (TRGB), from Cepheids, and/or from supernovae of type Ia (SNe Ia).

Distance to NGC6822 with Spitzer/FourStar Photometry
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a revised distance to the nearby galaxy NGC 6822 using a new multi-band fit to both previously published and new optical, near-, and mid-infrared data for Cepheid variables. The new data presented in this study include multi-epoch observations obtained in 3.6 {mu}m and 4.5 {mu}m with the Spitzer Space Telescope taken for the Carnegie Hubble Program. We also present new observations in J, H, and K_s_ with FourStar on the Magellan Baade Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. We determine mean magnitudes and present new period-luminosity relations in V, I, J, H, K_s_, Infrared Array Camera 3.6 {mu}m, and 4.5 {mu}m. In addition to using the multi-band distance moduli to calculate extinction and a true distance, we present a new method for determining an extinction-corrected distance modulus from multi-band data with varying sample sizes. We combine the distance moduli and extinction for individual stars to determine E(B-V)=0.35+/-0.04 and a true distance modulus {mu}_o_=23.38+/-0.02_stat_+/-0.04_sys_.
870. Distant galaxy clusters photometry

Title:
Distant galaxy clusters photometry
Short Name:
J/ApJS/142/153
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present optical and near-infrared photometry of 45 clusters of galaxies at 0.1<z<1.3. Galaxy catalogs in each cluster were defined at the longest wavelength available, generally the K band, down to approximately 2mag below M*. We include finding chart images of the band used for catalog definition. The photometry has been used in previously published papers to examine the origin and evolution of galaxies in distant clusters. Beginning in 1991, we sought to make use of the advent of relatively large format near-IR detectors to study the galaxy populations of distant clusters. We collected imaging data in both the near-IR and the optical on a large sample of clusters drawn from several samples. These data were analyzed and detailed results were presented on the evolution of early-type galaxies at moderate redshifts in Stanford, Eisenhardt, & Dickinson (1995ApJ...450..512S, 1998ApJ...492..461S), on the evolution of the K-band luminosity function in De Propris et al. (1999AJ....118..719D), on the Butcher-Oemler effect in K-selected galaxy samples in De Propris et al. (2003, ApJ, submitted), and on the evolution of early-type galaxies in high-redshift clusters in Holden et al. (2003, ApJ, in press). So far the photometry for these various studies has been published for only two clusters, Abell 370 and Abell 851 in Stanford et al. (1995ApJ...450..512S). In this paper, we present the photometry on the other 43 clusters used in our published work on distant clusters.
