- Description:
- We present optical depth and temperature maps of the Perseus molecular cloud, obtained combining dust emission data from the Herschel and Planck satellites and 2MASS/NIR dust extinction maps. The maps have a resolution of 36~arcsec in the Herschel regions, and of 5~arcmin elsewhere. The dynamic range of the optical depth map ranges from 1x10^-2^mag up to 20mag in the equivalent K band extinction. We also evaluate the ratio between the SI2.2{mu} extinction coefficient and the SI850{mu} opacity. The value we obtain is close to the one found in the Orion B molecular cloud. We show that the cumulative and the differential area function of the data (which is proportional to the probability distribution function of the cloud column density) follow power laws with index respectively ~=-2, and ~=-3. We use WISE data to improve current YSO catalogs based mostly on Spitzer data and we build an up-to-date selection of Class I/0 objects. Using this selection, we evaluate the local Schmidt law, {Sigma}_YSO{prop.to}{Sigma}_gas_^{beta}^, showing that {beta}=2.4+/-0.6. Finally, we show that the area-extinction relation is important for determining the star formation rate in the cloud, which is in agreement with other recent works.

- Description:
- The Public European Southern Observatory Spectroscopic Survey of Transient Objects (PESSTO) began as a public spectroscopic survey in April 2012. PESSTO classifies transients from publicly available sources and wide-field surveys, and selects science targets for detailed spectroscopic and photometric follow-up. PESSTO runs for nine months of the year, January - April and August - December inclusive, and typically has allocations of 10 nights per month. We describe the data reduction strategy and data products that are publicly available through the ESO archive as the Spectroscopic Survey data release 1 (SSDR1). PESSTO uses the New Technology Telescope with the instruments EFOSC2 and SOFI to provide optical and NIR spectroscopy and imaging. We target supernovae and optical transients brighter than 20.5^m^ for classification. Science targets are selected for follow-up based on the PESSTO science goal of extending knowledge of the extremes of the supernova population. We use standard EFOSC2 set-ups providing spectra with resolutions of 13-18{AA} between 3345-9995{AA}. A subset of the brighter science targets are selected for SOFI spectroscopy with the blue and red grisms (0.935-2.53{mu}m and resolutions 23-33{AA}) and imaging with broadband JHK_s_ filters. This first data release (SSDR1) contains flux calibrated spectra from the first year (April 2012-2013). A total of 221 confirmed supernovae were classified, and we released calibrated optical spectra and classifications publicly within 24h of the data being taken (via WISeREP). The data in SSDR1 replace those released spectra. They have more reliable and quantifiable flux calibrations, correction for telluric absorption, and are made available in standard ESO Phase 3 formats. We estimate the absolute accuracy of the flux calibrations for EFOSC2 across the whole survey in SSDR1 to be typically ~15%, although a number of spectra will have less reliable absolute flux calibration because of weather and slit losses. Acquisition images for each spectrum are available which, in principle, can allow the user to refine the absolute flux calibration. The standard NIR reduction process does not produce high accuracy absolute spectrophotometry but synthetic photometry with accompanying JHK_s_ imaging can improve this. Whenever possible, reduced SOFI images are provided to allow this. Future data releases will focus on improving the automated flux calibration of the data products. The rapid turnaround between discovery and classification and access to reliable pipeline processed data products has allowed early science papers in the first few months of the survey.

- Description:
- The presence of heavier chemical elements in stellar atmospheres influences the spectral energy distribution of stars. An uneven surface distribution of these elements, together with flux redistribution and stellar rotation, are commonly believed to be the primary causes of the variability of chemically peculiar (CP) stars. We aim to model the photometric variability of the CP star phi Dra based on the assumption of inhomogeneous surface distribution of heavier elements and compare it to the observed variability of the star. We also intend to identify the processes that contribute most significantly to its photometric variability. We use a grid of TLUSTY model atmospheres and the SYNSPEC code to model the radiative flux emerging from the individual surface elements of phi Dra with different chemical compositions. We integrate the emerging flux over the visible surface of the star at different phases throughout the entire rotational period to synthesise theoretical light curves of the star in several spectral bands.

- Description:
- The Phoenix Deep Survey is a multiwavelength galaxy survey based on deep 1.4GHz radio imaging. The primary goal of this survey is to investigate the properties of star formation in galaxies and to trace the evolution in those properties to a redshift z=1, covering a significant fraction of the age of the universe. By compiling a sample of star-forming galaxies based on selection at radio wavelengths we eliminate possible biases due to dust obscuration, a significant issue when selecting objects at optical and ultraviolet wavelengths. In this paper, we present the catalogs and results of deep optical (UBVRI) and near-infrared (Ks) imaging of the deepest region of the existing decimetric radio imaging. The observations and data processing are summarized and the construction of the optical source catalogs described, together with the details of the identification of candidate optical counterparts to the radio catalogs. Based on our UBVRIKs imaging, photometric redshift estimates for the optical counterparts to the radio detections are explored.

- Description:
- The catalog is a compilation of photoelectric photometry in the Johnson UBVRI system published prior to mid-1984. The catalog contains a total of 6849 stars in the original Johnson system (Morel and Magnenat 1978), 467 stars in the system of Kunkel and Rydgren (1979), 1150 stars in the system of Moffett and Barnes III (1979), and 252 stars in the system of Neckel and Chini (1980). The catalog is in 14 files: The first 12 files list observational data, mean values, and references for each of the four standard systems. An additional two files contain the numbering scheme of Mermilliod (1978) used to identify objects, and introductory information.

- Description:
- The table gives individual absolute K and IRAS 12 and 25 luminosities of 800 LPVs. They are obtained by applying the Luri-Mennessier (LM, see below) calibration method to a sample composed of stars which are either of type M (O-rich), C (C-rich) or S (C/O~1), including Mira (M), SR (of both type a and b) and L variables. Astrometric data is taken exclusively from the HIPPARCOS Catalogue. Radial velocities are taken from the HIPPARCOS Input Catalogue. K band photometric data are gathered from various sources. Infrared magnitudes are derived from the fluxes measured by the IRAS satellite: m(12)=3.63-2.5log(F(12)) and m(25)=2.07-2.5log(F(25)) The stellar population from which the sample is extracted is assumed to be composed of several distinct groups that can differ in kinematics, luminosity or spatial distribution. The LM method determines the number of significant discriminating groups and produces, for each group, unbiased estimates of the mean parameters of the galactic and luminosity model. In a second step the method uses a Bayesian rule to statistically assign each star to a group. Table gives these assignations denoted as G(G') i.e. to group G in K and G'in IRAS. Three groups are identified in the K band. They can be interpreted as the galactic disk (D), old disk (OD) and extended disk (ED) populations. Four groups are identified in the IRAS bands. They are similar to those identified in the K band except that the old disk group is divided into ``bright'' (ODb) and ``faint'' (ODf) subgroups. Let us add that D, ODb and ED correspond to thick circumstellar envelope stars, while ODf is mainly composed of stars with a thin (or even lacking) envelope.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a homogeneous sample of 1361 L and T dwarfs brighter than J=17.5 (of which 998 are new), from an effective area of 3070deg^2^, classified by the photo-type method to an accuracy of one spectral sub-type using izY JHKW1W2 photometry from SDSS+UKIDSS+WISE. Other than a small bias in the early L types, the sample is shown to be effectively complete to the magnitude limit, for all spectral types L0 to T8. The nature of the bias is an incompleteness estimated at 3% because peculiar blue L dwarfs of type L4 and earlier are classified late M. There is a corresponding overcompleteness because peculiar red (likely young) late M dwarfs are classified early L. Contamination of the sample is confirmed to be small: so far spectroscopy has been obtained for 19 sources in the catalogue and all are confirmed to be ultracool dwarfs. We provide coordinates and izY JHKW1W2 photometry of all sources. We identify an apparent discontinuity, {Delta}m~0.4mag., in the Y-K colour between spectral types L7 and L8. We present near-infrared spectra of nine sources identified by photo-type as peculiar, including a new low-gravity source ULAS J005505.68+013436.0, with spectroscopic classification L2{gamma}. We provide revised izYJHKW1W2 template colours for late M dwarfs, types M7 to M9.

- Description:
- We present an analysis of deep multiwavelength data for z~0.3-3 starburst galaxies selected by their 70um emission in the Extended-Chandra Deep Field-South and Extended Groth Strip. We identify active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in these infrared sources through their X-ray emission and quantify the fraction that host an AGN. Lastly, we investigate the ratio between the supermassive black hole accretion rate (inferred from the AGN X-ray luminosity) and the bulge growth rate of the host galaxy (approximated as the SFR) and find that, for sources with detected AGNs and star formation (and neglecting systems with low star formation rates to which our data are insensitive), this ratio in distant starbursts agrees well with that expected from the local scaling relation assuming the black holes and bulges grew at the same epoch. These results imply that black holes and bulges grow together during periods of vigorous star formation and AGN activity.
