- Description:
- We present the results of Thuan & Gunn r CCD imaging observations of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) sample of emission-line galaxies (ELGs), selected by the presence of H{alpha} emission in low-resolution objective prism spectra. In this work we characterize photometrically and morphologically a total of 212 objects from the UCM survey. This Paper presents the observations and basic reductions, and lists a set of photometric parameters calculated for each UCM object. In addition, for the first time in a ELGs sample, we have determined the morphological classification of the objects using simultaneously five different criteria.

- Description:
- NGC 1380 is a lenticular galaxy located near the center of the Fornax Cluster, northeast of NGC 1399. The globular cluster system of this galaxy was previously studied only from the ground. Recent studies of similar early-type galaxies, specially lenticular ones, reveal the existence of star clusters that apparently break up the traditional open/globular cluster dichotomy. With higher quality photometry from HST/WFPC2 we study the star clusters in NGC 1380, measuring their magnitudes, colours, sizes and projected distances from the center of the galaxy. We used deep archival HST/WFPC2 in the B and V bands. We built colour magnitude diagrams from which we selected a sample of cluster candidates. We also analysed their colour distribution and measured their sizes. Based on their location in the luminosity-size diagram we estimated probabilities of them being typical globular clusters as those found in the Galaxy. A total of about 570 cluster candidates were found down to V=26.5. We measured sizes for approximately 200 of them. The observed colour distribution has three apparent peaks. Likewise for the size distribution. We identified the smaller population as being mainly typical globular clusters, while the more extended objects have small probabilities of being such objects. Different correlations between absolute magnitudes, sizes, colours and location were inferred for these cluster sub-populations. Most extended clusters (Reff>4pc) share similar properties to the diffuse star clusters reported to inhabit luminous early-type galaxies in the Virgo galaxy cluster such as being of low surface brightness and fainter than MV~-8. We also report on a small group of (R_eff_~10pc), -8<MV<-6, red clusters located near the centre of NGC 1380, which may be interpreted as faint fuzzies.

- Description:
- We present Johnson B CCD photometry for the whole sample of galaxies of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) Survey Lists I and II (Cat. <J/ApJS/95/387> and <J/ApJS/105/343>). They constitute a well-defined and complete sample of galaxies in the Local Universe with active star formation. The data refer to 191 S0 to Irr galaxies at an averaged redshift of 0.027, and complement the already published Gunn r, J and K photometries. (B-r) colours are also computed.

- Description:
- We present Johnson B surface photometry for the UCM Survey galaxies. One-dimensional bulge-disk decomposition is attempted, discussing on fitting functions and computational procedures. The results from this decomposition, jointly with concentration indices and an asymmetry coefficient, are employed to study the morphological properties of these galaxies. We also compare our results with the previous morphological classification established using Gunn r imaging data and with other samples of galaxies. No major statistical differences in morphology are found between red and blue data, although some characteristics such as size and luminosity concentration vary. We find a correlation between luminosity and size. Several parameters are used to segregate the objects according to their morphological type.

- Photometry of YSOs in eight bright-rimmed clouds
- Short Name:

- Description:
- We carried out deep- and wide-field near- and mid-infrared observations for a sample of eight bright-rimmed clouds (BRCs). Supplemented with the Spitzer archival data, we have identified and classified 44 to 433 young stellar objects (YSOs) associated with these BRCs. The Class I sources are generally located toward the places with higher extinction and are relatively closer to each other than the Class II sources, confirming that the young protostars are usually found in regions with denser molecular material. On the other hand the comparatively older population, Class II objects, are more randomly found throughout the regions, which can be due to their dynamical evolution. Using the minimal sampling tree analyses, we have extracted 13 stellar cores of eight or more members, which contain 60% of the total YSOs. The typical core is ~0.6pc in radii and somewhat elongated (aspect ratio of 1.45), of relatively low stellar density (surface density 60pc^-2^), consisting of a small (35) number of YSOs of relatively young sources (66% Class I), and partially embedded (median A_K_=1.1mag). But the cores show a wide range in their mass distribution (~20 to 2400M_{Sun}_), with a median value of around 130M_{Sun}_. We found the star-formation efficiencies in the cores to be between 3% and 30% with an average of ~14%, which agrees with the efficiencies needed to link the core mass function to the initial mass function. We also found a linear relation between the density of the clouds and the number of YSOs. The peaked nearest neighbor spacing distributions of the YSOs and the ratio of Jeans lengths to the YSO separations indicates a significant degree of non-thermally driven fragmentation in these BRCs.

- Physical parameters of compact SFGs in COSMOS field
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/807/139
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a study on the physical properties of compact star-forming galaxies (cSFGs) with M_*_>=10^10^ M_{sun}_ and 2<=z<= 3 in the COSMOS (Cosmic Evolution Survey) and GOODS-S (Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey South) fields. We find that massive cSFGs have a comoving number density of (1.0+/-0.1)x10^-4^ Mpc^-3^. The cSFGs are distributed at nearly the same locus on the main sequence as extended star-forming galaxies (eSFGs) and dominate the high-mass end. On the rest-frame U-V versus V-J and U-B versus M_B_ diagrams, cSFGs are mainly distributed at the middle of eSFGs and compact quiescent galaxies (cQGs) in all colors, but are more inclined to "red sequence" than "green valley" galaxies. We also find that cSFGs have distributions similar to cQGs on the nonparametric morphology diagrams. The cQGs and cSFGs have larger Gini and smaller M_20_, while eSFGs have the reverse. About one-third of cSFGs show signatures of postmergers, and almost none of them can be recognized as disks. Moreover, those visually extended cSFGs all have lower Gini coefficients (Gini<0.4), indicating that the Gini coefficient could be used to clean out noncompact galaxies in a sample of candidate cSFGs. The X-ray-detected counterparts are more frequent among cSFGs than in eSFGs and cQGs, implying that cSFGs have previously experienced violent gas-rich interactions (such as major mergers or disk instabilities), which could trigger both star formation and black hole growth in an active phase.

- Description:
- We present a detailed light-curve analysis of publicly available V-band observations of 62 binary stars, mostly contact binaries, obtained by the All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS)-3 project between 2000 and 2009. Eclipsing binaries are important astronomical targets for determining the physical parameters of component stars from the geometry of their orbits. They provide an independent direct method of measuring the radii of stars. We improved the ASAS determined periods and ephemerides, and obtained the Fourier parameters from the phased light curves of these 62 stars.

- Planck high-z source candidates catalog (PHZ)
- Short Name:

- Description:
- The Planck mission, thanks to its large frequency range and all-sky coverage, has a unique potential for systematically detecting the brightest, and rarest, submillimetre sources on the sky, including distant objects in the high-redshift Universe traced by their dust emission. A novel method, based on a component-separation procedure using a combination of Planck and IRAS data, has been validated and characterized on numerous simulations, and applied to select the most luminous cold submillimetre sources with spectral energy distributions peaking between 353 and 857GHz at 5' resolution. A total of 2151 Planck high-z source candidates (the PHZ) have been detected in the cleanest 26% of the sky, with flux density at 545GHz above 500mJy. Embedded in the cosmic infrared background close to the confusion limit, these high-z candidates exhibit colder colours than their surroundings, consistent with redshifts z>2, assuming a dust temperature of Txgal=35K and a spectral index of {beta}xgal=1.5. Exhibiting extremely high luminosities, larger than 10^14^L_{sun}_, the PHZ objects may be made of multiple galaxies or clumps at high redshift, as suggested by a first statistical analysis based on a comparison with number count models. Furthermore, first follow-up observations obtained from optical to submillimetre wavelengths, which can be found in companion papers, have confirmed that this list consists of two distinct populations. A small fraction (around 3%) of the sources have been identified as strongly gravitationally lensed star-forming galaxies at redshift 2 to 4, while the vast majority of the PHZ sources appear as overdensities of dusty star-forming galaxies, having colours consistent with being at z>2, and may be considered as proto-cluster candidates. The PHZ provides an original sample, which is complementary to the Planck Sunyaev-Zeldovich Catalogue (PSZ2); by extending the population of virialized massive galaxy clusters detected below z<1.5 through their SZ signal to a population of sources at z>1.5, the PHZ may contain the progenitors of today's clusters. Hence the Planck list of high-redshift source candidates opens a new window on the study of the early stages of structure formation, particularly understanding the intensively star-forming phase at high-z.

- Planetary nebulae properties
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/327/736
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We apply a method, described in Gorny et al. (1997, Cat. <J/A+A/318/256>), to derive the masses of 125 central stars of planetary nebulae (PN). This method is self-consistent and distance-independent. It requires the knowledge of the nebular H{beta} fluxes, angular radii and expansion velocities, as well as the stellar visual magnitudes. This method is based on a simple model for the evolution of planetary nebulae, in which the central stars evolve according to the theoretical models of Bloecker (1995, Cat. <J/A+A/299/755>) and Schoenberner (1983ApJ...272..708S). The results are dependent on the assumed total nebular mass. Nevertheless, for any reasonable total nebular mass distribution, we find that the range in planetary nebulae central star masses is very restricted: more than 80% of the objects have a central star mass between 0.55 and 0.65M_{sun}_. We show how to convert, in this mass range, the observed PN central star mass distribution into a zero-age post-AGB star mass distribution.

- Description:
- We present empirical measurements of the radii of 116 stars that host transiting planets. These radii are determined using only direct observables - the bolometric flux at Earth, the effective temperature, and the parallax provided by the Gaia first data release - and thus are virtually model independent, with extinction being the only free parameter. We also determine each star's mass using our newly determined radius and the stellar density, a virtually model independent quantity itself from previously published transit analyses. These stellar radii and masses are in turn used to redetermine the transiting-planet radii and masses, again using only direct observables. The median uncertainties on the stellar radii and masses are 8% and 30%, respectively, and the resulting uncertainties on the planet radii and masses are 9% and 22%, respectively. These accuracies are generally larger than previously published model-dependent precisions of 5% and 6% on the planet radii and masses, respectively, but the newly determined values are purely empirical. We additionally report radii for 242 stars hosting radial-velocity (non-transiting) planets, with a median achieved accuracy of ~2%. Using our empirical stellar masses we verify that the majority of putative "retired A stars" in the sample are indeed more massive than ~1.2 M_{sun}_. Most importantly, the bolometric fluxes and angular radii reported here for a total of 498 planet host stars-with median accuracies of 1.7% and 1.8%, respectively-serve as a fundamental data set to permit the re-determination of transiting-planet radii and masses with the Gaia second data release to ~3% and ~5% accuracy, better than currently published precisions, and determined in an entirely empirical fashion.
