- Description:
- The EFAR project is a study of 736 candidate elliptical galaxies in 84 clusters lying in two regions, toward Hercules-Corona Borealis and Perseus-Pisces-Cetus, at distances cz~6000-15000km/s. In this paper (the first of a series), we present an introduction to the EFAR project and describe in detail the selection of the clusters and galaxies in our sample. Fundamental data for the galaxies and clusters are given, including accurate new positions for each galaxy and redshifts for each cluster. The galaxy selection functions are determined by using diameters measured from Schmidt sky survey images for 2185 galaxies in the cluster fields. Future papers in this series will present the spectroscopic and photometric observations of this sample, investigate the properties of the fundamental plane for elliptical galaxies, and determine the large-scale peculiar velocity fields in these two regions of the universe.

- Description:
- We present the spectroscopic data for the galaxies studied in the EFAR project, which is designed to measure the properties and peculiar motions of early-type galaxies in two distant regions. We have obtained 1319 spectra of 714 early-type galaxies over 33 observing runs on 10 different telescopes. We describe the observations and data reductions used to measure redshifts, velocity dispersions and the Mgb and Mg_2_ Lick linestrength indices. Detailed simulations and intercomparison of the large number of repeat observations lead to reliable error estimates for all quantities. The measurements from different observing runs are calibrated to a common zero-point or scale before being combined, yielding a total of 706 redshifts, 676 velocity dispersions, 676 Mgb linestrengths and 582 Mg_2_ linestrengths. The median estimated errors in the combined measurements are {Delta}cz=20km/s, {Delta}sigma/sigma=9.1%, {Delta}Mgb/Mgb=7.2% and {Delta}Mg_2_=0.015mag. Comparison of our measurements with published data sets shows no systematic errors in the redshifts or velocity dispersions, and only small zero-point corrections to bring our linestrengths on to the standard Lick system. We have assigned galaxies to physical clusters by examining the line-of-sight velocity distributions based on EFAR and ZCAT redshifts, together with the projected distributions on the sky. We derive mean redshifts and velocity dispersions for these clusters, which will be used in estimating distances and peculiar velocities and to test for trends in the galaxy population with cluster mass. The spectroscopic parameters presented here for 706 galaxies combine high-quality data, uniform reduction and measurement procedures, and detailed error analysis. They form the largest single set of velocity dispersions and linestrengths for early-type galaxies published to date.

- Description:
- We present R-band CCD photometry for 776 galaxies observed in the EFAR (Elliptical FAR away) project. The photometry is compared with photoelectric data, showing that a common zero-point good to better than 1% and a precision of 0.03mag per zero-point have been achieved. We give the circularly averaged surface brightness profiles and the photometric parameters of the 762 program galaxies, D(n) diameters (at 20.5mag/arcsec^2^), half-luminosity radii Re, total magnitudes m_T_, and average effective surface brightnesses <SBe>. More than 80% of the profiles have a global S/N ratio larger than 300. The extrapolation needed to derive total magnitudes is less than 10% for 80% of the fits. More than 80% of the galaxies have mean effective surface brightness larger than the observed sky brightness. In 90% of the profiles the estimate of the contamination of the sky by the galaxy light is less than 1%. We derive total magnitudes and half-luminosity radii to better than 0.15mag and 25%, respectively, for 90% of our sample. In contrast, external comparisons show that data in the literature can be strongly affected by systematic errors due to large extrapolations, small radial range, sky subtraction errors, seeing effects, and the use of a simple R^1/4^ fit. The resulting errors can easily amount to more than 0.5mag in the total magnitudes and 50% in the half-luminosity radii.

- Description:
- Recent studies have revealed a strong correlation between the star formation rate (SFR) and stellarmass of the majority of star-forming galaxies, the so-called star-forming main sequence. An empirical modeling approach (the 2-SFM framework) that distinguishes between the main sequence and rarer starburst galaxies is capable of reproducing most statistical properties of infrared galaxies, such as number counts, luminosity functions, and redshift distributions. In this paper, we extend this approach by establishing a connection between stellar mass and halo mass with the technique of abundance matching. Based on a few simple assumptions and a physically motivated formalism, our model successfully predicts the (cross-)power spectra of the cosmic infrared background (CIB), the crosscorrelation between CIB and cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing, and the correlation functions of bright, resolved infrared galaxies measured by Herschel, Planck, ACT, and SPT.We use this model to infer the redshift distribution of CIB-anisotropies and of the CIBxCMB lensing signal, as well as the level of correlation between CIB-anisotropies at different wavelengths. Material (effective spectral energy distributions, differential emissivities of halos, relations between Mh and SFR) associated to this model is available at http://irfu.cea.fr/Sap/Phocea/Page/index.php?id=537

- Description:
- Now that large databases of resolved galaxy images are provided by modern imaging surveys, advanced morphological studies can be envisioned, urging for well defined calibration samples. We present the EFIGI catalogue, a multiwavelength database specifically designed for a dense sampling of all Hubble types. The catalogue merges data from standard surveys and catalogues (Principal Galaxy Catalogue, Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Value-Added Galaxy Catalogue, HyperLeda, and the NASA Extragalactic Database) and provides detailed morphological information. Imaging data are obtained from the SDSS DR4 release in the u, g, r, i, and z bands for a sample of 4458 PGC galaxies, whereas photometric and spectroscopic data are obtained from the SDSS DR5 catalogue. Point-Spread Function models are derived in all five bands. Composite colour images of all objects are visually examined by a group of astronomers, and galaxies are staged along the Hubble sequence and classified according to 16 morphological attributes describing their structure, texture, as well as environment and appearance on a five-level scale. The EFIGI Hubble sequence shows remarkable agreement with the RC3 Revised Hubble Sequence. The main characteristics and reliability of the catalogue are examined, including photometric completeness, type mix, systematic trends and correlations. The final EFIGI database is a large sub-sample of the local Universe, with a dense sampling of Sd, Sdm, Sm and Im types compared to magnitude-limited catalogues. We estimate the photometric catalogue to be more than ~80% complete for galaxies with 10<g<14. More than 99.5% of EFIGI galaxies have a known redshift in the HyperLeda and NED databases.

- Description:
- Dark matter-baryon scaling relations in galaxies are important in order to constrain galaxy formation models. Here, we provide a modern quantitative assessment of those relations, by modelling the rotation curves of galaxies from the Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves (SPARC) database with the Einasto dark halo model. We focus in particular on the comparison between the original SPARC parameters, with constant mass-to-light ratios for bulges and disks, and the parameters for which galaxies follow the tightest radial acceleration relation. We show that fits are improved in the second case, and that the pure halo scaling relations also become tighter. We report that the density at the radius where the slope is -2 is strongly anticorrelated to this radius, and to the Einasto index. The latter is close to unity for a large number of galaxies, indicative of large cores. In terms of dark matter-baryon scalings, we focus on relations between the core properties and the extent of the baryonic component, which are relevant to the cusp-core transformation process. We report a positive correlation between the core size of halos with small Einasto index and the stellar disk scale-length, as well as between the averaged dark matter density within 2kpc and the baryon-induced rotational velocity at that radius. This finding is related to the consequence of the radial acceleration relation on the diversity of rotation curve shapes, quantified by the rotational velocity at 2kpc. While a tight radial acceleration relation slightly decreases the observed diversity compared to the original SPARC parameters, the diversity of baryon-induced accelerations at 2kpc is sufficient to induce a large diversity, incompatible with current hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation, while maintaining a tight radial acceleration relation.

- Einstein X-ray survey of galaxies. I.
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We present the results of a complete Einstein imaging proportional counter X-ray survey of optically-selected galaxies from the Shapley-Ames Catalog (Cat. <VII/112>), the Uppsala General Catalog (Cat. <VII/26>) and the European Southern Observatory Catalog (Cat. <VII/115>). Well-defined optical criteria are used to select the galaxies, and X-ray fluxes are measured at the optically-defined positions. The result is a comprehensive list of X-ray detection and upper limit measurements for 1018 galaxies. Of these, 827 have either independent distance estimates or radial velocities. Associated optical, redshift, and distance data have been assembled for these galaxies, and their distances come from a combination of directly predicted distances and those predicted from the Faber-Burstein Great Attractor/Virgocentric infall model. The accuracy of the X-ray fluxes has been checked in three different ways; all are consistent with the derived X-ray fluxes being of <=0.1 dex accuracy. In particular, there is agreement with previously published X-ray fluxes for galaxies in common with a 1991 study by Roberts et al. (1991ApJS...75..751R) and a 1992 study by Fabbiano et al. (1992ApJS...80..531F).The data presented here will be used in further studies to characterize the X-ray output of galaxies of various morphological types and thus to enable the determination of the major sources contributing to the X-ray emission from galaxies.

- Description:
- We have carried out a survey searching for H{alpha} emitting galaxies at z~0.24 using a narrow band filter tuned with the redshifted line. The total sky area covered was 0.19 square degrees within the redshift range 0.228 to 0.255 in a set of four fields in the ELAIS-N1 zone. This corresponds to a volume of 9.8x10^3^Mpc^3^ and a look-back time of 3.6Gyr when H=50km/s/Mpc and q=0.5 are assumed. A total of 52 objects are selected as candidates for a broad band limiting magnitude of I~22.9, plus 16 detected only in the narrow band image for a narrow band limiting magnitude for object detection of 21.0. The threshold detection corresponds to about 20{AA} equivalent width with an uncertainty of ~+/-10{AA}. Point-like objects (15) were excluded from our analysis using CLASS_STAR parameter from SExtractor. The contamination from other emission lines such as [O II]{lambda}3727, H{beta} and [OIII]{lambda}{lambda}4959,5007 at redshifts 1.2, 0.66 and 0.61 respectively is estimated, and found to be negligible at the flux limits of our sample. We find an extinction-corrected H{alpha} luminosity density of (5.4+/-1.1)x10^39^erg/s/Mpc^3^. Our survey for H{alpha} emitting galaxies was carried out using the focal reducer CAFOS at the 2.2 m telescope in CAHA (Centro Astronomico Hispano-Aleman, Almeria, Spain). This instrument is equipped with a 2048x2048 Site#1d CCD with 24{mu}m pixels (0.53" on the sky), which covers a circular area of 16'diameter.
