- Description:
- We present a catalog of 5437 morphologically classified sources in the direction of the Perseus galaxy cluster core, among them 496 early-type low-mass galaxy candidates. The catalog is primarily based on V-band imaging data acquired with the William Herschel Telescope, which we used to conduct automated source detection and derive photometry. We additionally reduced archival Subaru multiband imaging data in order to measure aperture colors and perform a morphological classification, benefiting from 0.5" seeing conditions in the r-band data. Based on morphological and color properties, we extracted a sample of early-type low-mass galaxy candidates with absolute V-band magnitudes in the range of -10 to -20mag. In the color-magnitude diagram, the galaxies are located where the red sequence for early-type cluster galaxies is expected, and they lie on the literature relation between absolute magnitude and Sersic index. We classified the early-type dwarf candidates into nucleated and nonnucleated galaxies. For the faint candidates, we found a trend of increasing nucleation fraction toward brighter luminosity or higher surface brightness, similar to what is observed in other nearby galaxy clusters. We morphologically classified the remaining sources as likely background elliptical galaxies, late-type galaxies, edge-on disk galaxies, and likely merging systems and discussed the expected contamination fraction through non-early-type cluster galaxies in the magnitude-size surface brightness parameter space. Our catalog reaches its 50% completeness limit at an absolute V-band luminosity of -12mag and a V-band surface brightness of 26mag/arcsec^2^. This makes it the largest and deepest catalog with coherent coverage compared to previous imaging studies of the Perseus cluster.

- Title:
- AGN photometry. II. A catalog from the CFHTLS
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/146/87
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This is the second paper of the series Detecting Active Galactic Nuclei Using Multi-filter Imaging Data. In this paper we review shapelets, an image manipulation algorithm, which we employ to adjust the point-spread function (PSF) of galaxy images. This technique is used to ensure the image in each filter has the same and sharpest PSF, which is the preferred condition for detecting AGNs using multi-filter imaging data as we demonstrated in Paper I of this series. We apply shapelets on Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey Wide Survey ugriz images. Photometric parameters such as effective radii, integrated fluxes within certain radii, and color gradients are measured on the shapelets-reconstructed images. These parameters are used by artificial neural networks (ANNs) which yield: photometric redshift with an rms of 0.026 and a regression R-value of 0.92; galaxy morphological types with an uncertainty less than 2 T types for z<=0.1; and identification of galaxies as AGNs with 70% confidence, star-forming/starburst (SF/SB) galaxies with 90% confidence, and passive galaxies with 70% confidence for z<=0.1. The incorporation of ANNs provides a more reliable technique for identifying AGN or SF/SB candidates, which could be very useful for large-scale multi-filter optical surveys that also include a modest set of spectroscopic data sufficient to train neural networks.

- Title:
- ALMA survey of submm galaxies in COSMOS field
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/608/A15
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We carried out targeted ALMA observations of 129 fields in the COSMOS region at 1.25mm, detecting 152 galaxies at S/N>=5 with an average continuum RMS of 150 {mu}Jy. These fields represent a S/N-limited sample of AzTEC/ASTE sources with 1.1mm S/N>=4 over an area of 0.72 square degrees. Given ALMA's fine resolution and the exceptional spectroscopic and multiwavelength photometric data available in COSMOS, this survey allows us unprecedented power in identifying submillimeter galaxy counterparts and determining their redshifts through spectroscopic or photometric means. In addition to 30 sources with prior spectroscopic redshifts, we identified redshifts for 113 galaxies through photometric methods and an additional nine sources with lower limits, which allowed a statistically robust determination of the redshift distribution. We have resolved 33 AzTEC sources into multi-component systems and our redshifts suggest that nine are likely to be physically associated. Our overall redshift distribution peaks at z~2.0 with a high-redshift tail skewing the median redshift to z^~^=2.48+/-0.05. We find that brighter millimeter sources are preferentially found at higher redshifts. Our faintest sources, with S_1.25mm_<1.25mJy, have a median redshift of z^~^=2.18+/-0.09, while the brightest sources, S_1.25mm_>1.8mJy, have a median redshift of z^~^=3.08+/-0.17. After accounting for spectral energy distribution shape and selection effects, these results are consistent with several previous submillimeter galaxy surveys, and moreover, support the conclusion that the submillimeter galaxy redshift distribution is sensitive to survey depth.

- Title:
- ASTRODEEP-GS43 catalogue
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/649/A22
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present ASTRODEEP-GS43, a new multiwavelength photometric catalogue of the GOODS-South field, which builds and improves upon the previously released CANDELS catalogue. We provide photometric fluxes and corresponding uncertainties in 43 optical and infrared bands (25 wide and 18 medium filters), as well as photometric redshifts and physical properties of the 34930 CANDELS H-detected objects, plus an additional sample of 178 H-dropout sources, of which 173 are Ks-detected and 5 IRAC-detected. We keep the CANDELS photometry in 7 bands (CTIOU, Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 and ISAAC-K), and measure from scratch the fluxes in the other 36 (VIMOS, HST ACS, HAWK-I Ks, Spitzer IRAC, and 23 from Subaru SuprimeCAM and Magellan-Baade Fourstar) with state-of-the-art techniques of template-fitting. We then compute new photometric redshifts with three different software tools, and take the median value as best estimate. We finally evaluate new physical parameters from SED fitting, comparing them to previously published ones. Comparing to a sample of 3931 high quality spectroscopic redshifts, for the new photo-z's we obtain a normalized median absolute deviation (NMAD) of 0.015 with 3.01% of outliers (0.011, 0.22% on the bright end at I_814_<22.5), similarly to the best available published samples of photometric redshifts, such as the COSMOS UltraVISTA catalogue. The ASTRODEEP-GS43 results are in qualitative agreement with previously published catalogues of the GOODS-South field, improving on them particularly in terms of SED sampling and photometric redshift estimates. The catalogue is available for download from the Astrodeep website.

- Title:
- Census of the Local Universe survey. I. CLU-Halpha

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present the Census of the Local Universe (CLU) narrowband survey to search for emission-line (H{alpha}) galaxies. CLU-H{alpha} has imaged ~3{pi} of the sky (26470deg^2^) with four narrowband filters that probe a distance out to 200Mpc. We have obtained spectroscopic follow-up for galaxy candidates in 14 preliminary fields (101.6deg^2^) to characterize the limits and completeness of the survey. In these preliminary fields, CLU can identify emission lines down to an H{alpha} flux limit of 10^-14^erg/s/cm^2^ at 90% completeness, and recovers 83% (67%) of the H{alpha} flux from cataloged galaxies in our search volume at the {Sigma}=2.5 ({Sigma}=5) color excess levels. The contamination from galaxies with no emission lines is 61% (12%) for {Sigma}=2.5 ({Sigma}=5). Also, in the regions of overlap between our preliminary fields and previous emission-line surveys, we recover the majority of the galaxies found in previous surveys and identify an additional ~300 galaxies. In total, we find 90 galaxies with no previous distance information, several of which are interesting objects: 7 blue compact dwarfs, 1 green pea, and a Seyfert galaxy; we also identify a known planetary nebula. These objects show that the CLU-H{alpha} survey can be a discovery machine for objects in our own Galaxy and extreme galaxies out to intermediate redshifts. However, the majority of the CLU-H{alpha} galaxies identified in this work show properties consistent with normal star-forming galaxies. CLU-H{alpha} galaxies with new redshifts will be added to existing galaxy catalogs to focus the search for the electromagnetic counterpart to gravitational wave events.

- Title:
- DENIS catalog of galaxies
- Short Name:
- VII/234
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a new, extended and improved version of the provisional I-band catalog of DENIS galaxies. Galaxies not cross-identified with already known galaxies have been visually controlled using the DSS1 images and, occasionally, the coordinates were remeasured. The typical accuracy of coordinates is about 2". The typical error on I-band magnitude is about 0.2mag. The final catalog gives the most common names, the J2000 coordinates, the I-band magnitude, the diameter, the axis ratio and the position angle for about 43000 galaxies. It covers roughly 67% of the southern hemisphere. It is homogeneously sampled up to I=14.5 mag. The data are also available via the LEDA database.

- Title:
- DENIS galaxies behind the Milky Way
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/387/1
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- A search has been undertaken at Lyon Observatory to identify, by eye, galaxy candidates at galactic latitudes lower than +/-15 degrees on the DENIS J and K-band images. This paper presents a list of 2028 objects that were serendipitously detected throughout the DENIS survey. Cross-identification with galaxy entries in the LEDA Database has been performed. Comparison with the second release of the 2MASS survey led to a satisfactory agreement of J band magnitudes (std. dev.=0.3mag). The distribution of galaxy candidates along the Galactic Plane shows a concentration near the galactic longitude l=305deg. As a by product of this inspection of J and K images some interesting galactic objects were found (star clusters and nebulae).

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We search for extragalactic sources in the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea survey that are hidden by the Galaxy. Herein, we describe our photometric procedure to find and characterize extragalactic objects using a combination of SExtractor and PSFEx. It was applied in two tiles of the survey: d010 and d115, without previous extragalactic IR detections, in order to obtain photometric parameters of the detected sources. The adopted criteria to define extragalactic candidates include CLASS_STAR<0.3; 1.0<R_1/2_<5.0 arcsec; 2.1<C<5; and {Phi}>0.002 and the colors: 0.5<(J-K_s_)<2.0 mag; 0.0<(J-H)<1.0 mag; 0.0<(H-K_s_)<2.0 mag and (J-H)+0.9(H-K_s_)>0.44 mag. We detected 345 and 185 extragalactic candidates in the d010 and d115 tiles, respectively. All of them were visually inspected and confirmed to be galaxies. In general, they are small and more circular objects, due to the near-IR sensitivity to select more compact objects with higher surface brightness. The procedure will be used to identify extragalactic objects in other tiles of the VVV disk, which will allow us to study the distribution of galaxies and filaments hidden by the Milky Way.

- Title:
- Extremely Isolated Galaxies. II.
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/469/347
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We have selected a sample of 41 extremely isolated galaxies (EIGs) from the local Universe using both optical and HI Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey redshifts. Narrow-band H{alpha} and wide-band imaging along with public data were used to derive star formation rates (SFRs), star formation histories and morphological classifications for the EIGs. We have found that the extreme isolation of the EIGs does not affect considerably their star formation compared to field galaxies. EIGs are typically 'blue cloud' galaxies that fit the 'main sequence of star-forming galaxies' and may show asymmetric star formation and strong compact star-forming regions. We discovered surprising environmental dependences of the HI content, M_HI_, and of the morphological type of EIGs; the most isolated galaxies (of subsample EIG-1) have lower M_HI_ on average (with 2.5{sigma} confidence) and a higher tendency to be early types (with 0.94 confidence) compared to the less isolated galaxies of subsample EIG-2. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that finds an effect in which an isolated sample shows a higher fraction of early types compared to a less isolated sample. Both early-type and late-type EIGs follow the same colour-to-M_*_, SFR-to-M_*_ (main sequence) and M_HI_-to-M_*_ relations. This indicates that the mechanisms and factors governing star formation, colour and the M_HI_-to-M_*_ relation are similar in early-type and late-type EIGs, and that the morphological type of EIGs is not governed by their M_HI_ content, colour or SFR.

- Description:
- The Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS) is the deepest, confusion-limited survey of the Virgo Cluster at far-infrared (FIR) wavelengths. The entire survey at full depth covers ~55deg^2^ in five bands (100-500um), encompassing the areas around the central dominant elliptical galaxies (M87, M86 and M49) and extends as far as the NW cloud, the W cloud and the Southern extension. The survey extends beyond this region with lower sensitivity so that the total area covered is 84 deg2. In this paper we describe the data, the data acquisition techniques and present the detection rates of the optically selected Virgo Cluster Catalogue (VCC). We detect 254 (34%) of 750 VCC galaxies found within the survey boundary in at least one band and 171 galaxies are detected in all five bands. For the remainder of the galaxies we have measured strict upper limits for their FIR emission.
