- Description:
- The Complete Calibration of the Color-Redshift Relation (C3R2) survey is obtaining spectroscopic redshifts in order to map the relation between galaxy color and redshift to a depth of i~24.5 (AB). The primary goal is to enable sufficiently accurate photometric redshifts for Stage IV dark energy projects, particularly Euclid and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman), which are designed to constrain cosmological parameters through weak lensing. We present 676 new high-confidence spectroscopic redshifts obtained by the C3R2 survey in the 2017B-2019B semesters using the DEIMOS, LRIS, and MOSFIRE multiobject spectrographs on the Keck telescopes. Combined with the 4454 redshifts previously published by this project, the C3R2 survey has now obtained and published 5130 high-quality galaxy spectra and redshifts. If we restrict consideration to only the 0.2<z_p_<2.6 range of interest for the Euclid cosmological goals, then with the current data release, C3R2 has increased the spectroscopic redshift coverage of the Euclid color space from 51% (as reported by Masters+ 2017, J/ApJ/841/111) to the current 91%. Once completed and combined with extensive data collected by other spectroscopic surveys, C3R2 should provide the spectroscopic calibration set needed to enable photometric redshifts to meet the cosmology requirements for Euclid, and make significant headway toward solving the problem for Roman.

- Description:
- EX Lup is a well-studied T Tauri star that represents the prototype of young eruptive stars EXors. These are characterized by repetitive outbursts due to enhanced accretion from the circumstellar disk onto the star. In this paper we analyze new adaptive optics imaging and spectroscopic observations to study EX Lup and its circumstellar environment in near-infrared in its quiescent phase. We aim at providing a comprehensive understanding of the circumstellar environment around EX Lup in quiescence that builds upon the vast literature data. We observed EX Lup in quiescence with the high contrast imager SPHERE/IRDIS in the dual-beam polarimetric imaging mode to resolve the circumstellar environment in near-infrared scattered light. We complemented these data with earlier SINFONI spectroscopy, also taken in quiescence. Results.We resolve for the first time in scattered light a compact feature around EX Lup azimuthally extending from ~280{deg} to ~360{deg}, and radially extending from 0.3" to 0.55" in the plane of the disk. We explore two different scenarios for the detected emission. The first one accounts for the emission as coming from the brightened walls of the cavity excavated by the outflow whose presence was suggested by ALMA observations in the J=3-2 line of ^12^CO. The second one accounts for the emission as coming from an inclined disk. In this latter case we detect for the first time a more extended circumstellar disk in scattered light, which shows that a region between 10 and 30au is depleted of um-size grains. We compare the J-, H- and K- band spectra obtained with SINFONI in quiescence with the spectra taken during the outburst, showing that all the emission lines were due to the episodic accretion event. Based on the morphology analysis we favour the scenario in which the scattered light is coming from a circumstellar disk rather than the outflow around EX Lup. We analyze the origin of the observed feature either as coming from a continuous circumstellar disk with a cavity, or from the illuminated wall of the outer disk or from a shadowed disk. Moreover, we discuss what is the origin of the m-size grains depleted region, exploring the possibility that a sub-stellar companion may be the cause of it.

- ExoMol line lists for BeH, MgH and CaH
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/425/34
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Accurate line lists for three molecules, BeH, MgH and CaH, in their ground electronic states are presented. These line lists are suitable for temperatures relevant to exoplanetary atmospheres and cool stars (up to 2000K). A combination of empirical and ab initio methods is used. The rovibrational energy levels of BeH, MgH and CaH are computed using the programs Level and DPotFit in conjunction with 'spectroscopic' potential energy curves (PECs). The PEC of BeH is taken from the literature, while the PECs of CaH and MgH are generated by fitting to the experimental transition energy levels. Both spin-rotation interactions (except for BeH, for which it is negligible) and non-adiabatic corrections are explicitly taken into account. Accurate line intensities are generated using newly computed ab initio dipole moment curves for each molecule using high levels of theory. Full line lists of rotation-vibration transitions for ^9^BeH, ^24^MgH, ^25^MgH, ^26^MgH and ^40CaH are made available in an electronic form as supplementary data to this article and at www.exomol.com .

- ExoMol line lists for CH4
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A new hot line list is calculated for ^12^CH_4_ in its ground electronic state. This line list, called 10to10, contains 9.8 billion transitions and should be complete for temperatures up to 1500K. It covers the wavelengths longer than 1{mu}m and includes all transitions to upper states with energies below hc 18000cm^-1^ and rotational excitation up to J=39. The line list is computed using the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of CH_4_ obtained by variational solution of the SCHR equation for the rotation-vibration motion of nuclei employing program TROVE and a new 'spectroscopic' potential energy surface (PES) obtained by refining an ab initio PES (CCSD(T)-F12c/aug-cc-pVQZ) in a least-squares fitting to the experimentally derived energies with J=0, 1, 2, 3, 4 as extracted from the HITRAN database. The dipole transition probabilities are represented by the Einstein-A coefficients obtained using a previously reported ab initio dipole moment surface (CCSD(T)-F12c/aug-cc-pVTZ). Detailed comparisons with other available sources of methane transitions including HITRAN, experimental compilations and other theoretical line lists show that these sources lack transitions both higher temperatures and near infrared wavelengths. The 10to10 line list is suitable for modelling atmospheres of cool stars and exoplanets.

- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/448/1704
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A computed line list for formaldehyde, H_2_^12^C^16^O, applicable to temperatures up to T=1500K is presented. An empirical potential energy and ab initio dipole moment surfaces are used as the input to nuclear motion program TROVE. The resulting line list, referred to as AYTY, contains 10.3 million rotational-vibrational states and around 10 billion transition frequencies. Each transition includes associated Einstein- A coefficients and absolute transition intensities, for wavenumbers below 10000cm^-1^ and rotational excitations up to J=70. Room-temperature spectra are compared with laboratory measurements and data currently available in the HITRAN database. These spectra show excellent agreement with experimental spectra and highlight the gaps and limitations of the HITRAN data. The full line list is available from the CDS database as well as at www.exomol.com.

- Description:
- A comprehensive hot line list is calculated for ^31^PH_3_ in its ground electronic state. This line list, called SAlTY, contains almost 16.8 billion transitions between 7.5 million energy levels and it is suitable for simulating spectra up to temperatures of 1500K. It covers wavelengths longer than 1um and includes all transitions to upper states with energies below hc.18000cm^-1^ and rotational excitation up to J=46. The line list is computed by variational solution of the Schrodinger equation for the rotation-vibration motion employing the nuclear-motion program TROVE. A previously reported ab initio dipole moment surface is used as well as an updated 'spectroscopic' potential energy surface (PES), obtained by refining an existing ab initio surface through least-squares fitting to the experimentally derived energies. Detailed comparisons with other available sources of phosphine transitions confirms SAlTY's accuracy and illustrates the incompleteness of previous experimental and theoretical compilations for temperatures above 300K. Atmospheric models are expected to severely underestimate the abundance of phosphine in disequilibrium environments, and it is predicted that phosphine will be detectable in the upper troposphere of many substellar objects. This list is suitable for modelling atmospheres of many astrophysical environments, namely carbon stars, Y dwarfs, T dwarfs, hot Jupiters and solar system gas giant planets. It is available in full as supplementary data to the article and at www.exomol.com.

- Description:
- Accurate rotation-vibration line lists are calculated for silicon monoxide. Line lists are presented for the main isotopologue, ^28^Si^16^O, and four monosubstituted isotopologues ^29^Si^16^O, ^30^Si^16^O, ^28^Si^17^O and ^28^Si^18^O, in their ground electronic states. These line lists are suitable for high temperatures (up to 9000K) including those relevant to exoplanetary atmospheres and cool stars. A combination of empirical and ab initio methods is used: the potential energy curves are determined to high accuracy by fitting to extensive data from analysis of both laboratory and sunspot spectra; a high quality ab initio dipole moment curve is calculated at the large basis set, multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI) level. A partition function plus full line lists of rotation-vibration transitions are made available in an electronic form as supplementary data to this article and at www.exomol.com.

- Exploring 6 AGN dusty torus models. II.
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/884/11
- Date:
- 04 Dec 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This is the second in a series of papers devoted to exploring a set of six dusty models of active galactic nuclei (AGN) with available spectral energy distributions. These models are the smooth torus by Fritz+ (2006MNRAS.366..767F), the clumpy torus by Nenkova+ (2008ApJ...685..147N and 2008ApJ...685..160N), the clumpy torus by Honig & Kishimoto (2010A&A...523A..27H), the two-phase torus by Siebenmorgen+ (2015A&A...583A.120S), the two-phase torus by Stalevski+ (2012MNRAS.420.2756S and 2016MNRAS.458.2288S), and the wind model by Honig & Kishimoto (2017ApJ...838L..20H). The first paper explores discrimination among models and the parameter restriction using synthetic spectra. Here we perform spectral fitting of a sample of 110 AGN drawn from the Swift/BAT survey with Spitzer/IRS spectroscopic data. The aim is to explore which is the model that describes better the data and the resulting parameters. The clumpy wind-disk model by Honig & Kishimoto provides good fits for ~50% of the sample, and the clumpy torus model by Nenkova+ is good at describing ~30% of the objects. The wind-disk model by Honig & Kishimoto is better for reproducing the mid-infrared spectra of type 1 Seyferts (with 60% of the type 1 Seyferts well reproduced by this model compared to the 10% well represented by the clumpy torus model by Nenkova+), while type 2 Seyferts are equally fitted by both models (roughly 40% of the type 2 Seyferts). Large residuals are found irrespective of the model used, indicating that the AGN dust continuum emission is more complex than predicted by the models or that the parameter space is not well sampled. We found that all the resulting parameters for our AGN sample are roughly constrained to 10%-20% of the parameter space. Contrary to what is generally assumed, the derived outer radius of the torus is smaller (reaching up to a factor of ~5 smaller for 10pc tori) for the smooth torus by Fritz+ and the two-phase torus by Stalevski+ than the one derived from the clumpy torus by Nenkova+ Covering factors and line-of-sight viewing angles strongly depend on the model used. The total dust mass is the most robust derived quantity, giving equivalent results for four of these models.

- Description:
- We present the results from a survey, designed to investigate the accretion process of massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) through near infrared narrow band imaging using the H_2_ {nu}=1-0 S(1) transition filter. A sample of 353 Massive Young Stellar Object (MYSO) candidates was selected from the Red MSX Source survey using photometric criteria at longer wavelengths (infrared and submillimeter) and chosen with positions throughout the Galactic Plane. Our survey was carried out at the SOAR Telescope in Chile and CFHT in Hawaii covering both hemispheres.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- The aim of this paper is to identify extended red regions in the outer galactic plane based on reddening of stars in the near-infrared. We argue that these regions appear reddened mainly due to extinction caused by molecular clouds and young stellar objects. The work presented here is used as a basis for identifying star forming regions and in particular the very early stages. An accompanying paper describes the cross-identification of the identified regions with existing data, uncovering more on the nature of the reddening.
