- Description:
- Since November 2002, we have conducted the largest deep imaging survey of the young, nearby associations of the southern hemisphere. Our goal is detection and characterization of substellar companions at intermediate (10-500AU) physical separations. We have observed a sample of 88 stars, mostly G to M dwarfs, that we essentially identify as younger than 100Myr and closer to Earth than 100pc. The VLT/NACO adaptive optics instrument of the ESO Paranal Observatory was used to explore the faint circumstellar environment between typically 0.1 and 10". We report the discovery of 17 new close (0.1-5.0") multiple systems. HIP 108195AB and C (F1III-M6), HIP 84642AB (a~14AU, K0-M5) and TWA 22AB (a~1.8AU; M6-M6) confirmed comoving systems. TWA 22AB is likely to be a astrometric calibrator that can be used to test evolutionary predictions. Among our complete sample, a total of 65 targets observed with deep coronagraphic imaging. About 240 faint candidates were detected around 36 stars. Follow-up observations VLT or HST for 83% of these stars enabled us to identify a fraction of contaminants. The latest results about the substellar companions to GSC 08047-00232, AB Pic and 2M1207, confirmed during this survey and published earlier, are reviewed. Finally, the statistical analysis of our complete set of coronagraphic limits enables us to place constraints on the physical and properties of giant planets between typically 20 and 150AU.

- Description:
- Fomalhaut and {epsilon} Eridani are two young, nearby stars that possess extended debris disks whose structures suggest the presence of perturbing planetary objects. With its high sensitivity and stable point-spread function, Spitzer/Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) is uniquely capable of detecting cool, Jupiter-like planetary companions whose peak emission is predicted to occur near 4.5um. We report on deep IRAC imaging of these two stars, taken at 3.6 and 4.5um using subarray mode and in all four channels in wider-field full array mode. Observations acquired at two different telescope roll angles allowed faint surrounding objects to be separated from the stellar diffraction pattern. No companion candidates were detected at the reported position of Fomalhaut b with 3{sigma} model-dependent mass upper limits of 3M_J_ (for an age of 200Myr). Around {epsilon} Eridani, we instead set a limit of 4 and <~1M_J_ (1Gyr model age) at the inner and outer edge of the submillimeter debris ring, respectively. These results are consistent with non-detections in recent near-infrared imaging searches, and set the strongest limits to date on the presence of planets outside {epsilon} Eridani submillimeter ring.

- CDS
- Description:
- We present the results of an independent search of all ~200000 stars observed over the four year Kepler mission (Q1-Q17) for multiplanet systems, using a three-transit minimum detection criterion to search orbital periods up to hundreds of days. We incorporate both automated and manual triage, and provide estimates of the completeness and reliability of our vetting pipeline. Our search returned 17 planet candidates (PCs) in addition to thousands of known Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs), with a 98.8% recovery rate of already confirmed planets. We highlight the discovery of one candidate, KIC-7340288b, that is both rocky (radius=<1.6R_{Earth}_) and in the Habitable Zone (insolation between 0.25 and 2.2 times the Earth's insolation). Another candidate is an addition to the already known KOI-4509 system. We also present adaptive optics imaging follow-up for six of our new PCs, two of which reveal a line-of-sight stellar companion within 4".

- Description:
- A database for the entire catalog of the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS) galaxies is presented. It contains new measurements of their optical parameters and additional information taken from the literature and other databases. The measurements were made using Ipg(near-infrared), Fpg(red) and Jpg(blue) band images from photographic sky survey plates obtained by the Palomar Schmidt telescope and extracted from the STScI Digital Sky Survey (DSS). The database provides accurate coordinates, morphological type, spectral and activity classes, apparent magnitudes and diameters, axial ratios, and position angles, as well as number counts of neighboring objects in a circle of radius 50kpc. The total number of individual SBS objects in the database is now 1676. The 188 Markarian galaxies which were re-discovered by SBS are not included in this database. We also include redshifts that are now available for 1576 SBS objects, as well as 2MASS infrared magnitudes for 1117 SBS galaxies.

- Description:
- The Second Byurakan Survey (SBS) General Catalogue is presented. The SBS, a continuation of the Markarian survey reaching fainter limiting magnitudes, is the first survey which combines the search of galaxies and QSOs. A total area of 991 square degrees of the Northern sky was covered with the use of three objective prisms in combination with Schott filters. The limited magnitude on the best plates reached B~19.5. The General Catalogue consists of 3563 objects presented in two parts: a Catalogue of galaxies (1863 objects) and one of stellar objects (1700 objects). The Catalogue of SBS AGN consists of 761 objects (155 SyG, 596 QSOs, and 10 BLLac). Multi-wavelength data are presented for 1438 SBS objects identified with X-ray, IRAS and FIRST sources. Spectrophotometric observations obtained over 26 years are available for 3132 objects. Redshifts were measured for ~2100 extragalactic objects. Spectral classification is presented for ~2970 objects. The majority of the data is presented here for the first time. The Catalogue presents new large homogeneous deep representative complete samples of bright QSOs, AGNs, and faint UVX galaxies in the Northern sky. The SBS sample is found to be complete at 70% for galaxies and ~85% for AGN/QSOs with B<=17.5.

- SED and bolometric corrections for luminous QSOs

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We explore the mid-infrared (mid-IR) through ultraviolet (UV) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 119652 luminous broad-lined quasars with 0.064<z<5.46 using mid-IR data from Spitzer and WISE, near-infrared data from the Two Micron All Sky Survey and UKIDSS, optical data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and UV data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer. The mean SED requires a bolometric correction (relative to 2500{AA}) of BC_2500{AA}_=2.75+/-0.40 using the integrated light from 1um-2keV, and we further explore the range of bolometric corrections exhibited by individual objects. In addition, we investigate the dependence of the mean SED on various parameters, particularly the UV luminosity for quasars with 0.5<~z<~3 and the properties of the UV emission lines for quasars with z>~1.6; the latter is a possible indicator of the strength of the accretion disk wind, which is expected to be SED-dependent.

- Description:
- The CrA region and the Coronet cluster form a nearby (138pc), young (1-2Myr) star-forming region that hosts a moderate population of Class I, II, and III objects. We study the structure of the cluster and the properties of the protostars and protoplanetary disks in the region. We present Herschel PACS photometry at 100 and 160um, obtained as part of the Herschel Gould Belt Survey. The Herschel maps reveal the cluster members within the cloud with high sensitivity and high dynamic range.

- SED of 113 dust-obscured galaxies at z~2
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Dust-obscured galaxies (DOGs) are a subset of high-redshift (z~2) optically-faint ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs, e.g., L_IR_>10^12^L_{sun}_). We present new far-infrared photometry, at 250, 350, and 500{mu}m (observed-frame), from the Herschel Space Telescope for a large sample of 113 DOGs with spectroscopically measured redshifts. Approximately 60% of the sample are detected in the far-IR. The Herschel photometry allows the first robust determinations of the total infrared luminosities of a large sample of DOGs, confirming their high IR luminosities, which range from 10^11.6^L_{sun}_<L_IR_(8-1000{mu}m)<10^13.6^L_{sun}_. 90% of the Herschel-detected DOGs in this sample are ULIRGs and 30% have L_IR_>10^13L{sun}. The rest-frame near-IR (1-3{mu}m) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the Herschel-detected DOGs are predictors of their SEDs at longer wavelengths.

- SED of Fermi bright blazars

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We have conducted a detailed investigation of the broadband spectral properties of the {gamma}-ray selected blazars of the Fermi LAT Bright AGN Sample (LBAS, Cat. J/ApJ/700/597). By combining our accurately estimated Fermi {gamma}-ray spectra with Swift, radio, infra-red, optical, and other hard X-ray/{gamma}-ray data, collected within 3 months of the LBAS data taking period, we were able to assemble high-quality and quasi-simultaneous spectral energy distributions (SED) for 48 LBAS blazars. We have used these SED to characterize the peak intensity of both the low- and the high-energy components. The results have been used to derive empirical relationships that estimate the position of the two peaks from the broadband colors (i.e., the radio to optical, {alpha}_ro_, and optical to X-ray, {alpha}_ox_, spectral slopes) and from the {gamma}-ray spectral index. While more than 50% of known radio bright high energy peaked (HBL) BL Lacs are detected in the LBAS sample, only less than 13% of known bright broad-lined flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and LBL BL Lacs are included. This suggests that the latter sources, as a class, may be much fainter {gamma}-ray emitters than LBAS blazars, and could in fact radiate close to the expectations of simple synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) models. We categorized all our sources according to a new physical classification scheme based on the generally accepted paradigm for Active Galactic Nuclei and on the results of this SED study.
