- Description:
- We present a sample of 1317 Infrared-faint radio sources (IFRSs) that, for the first time, are reliably detected in the infrared, generated by cross-correlating the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) all-sky survey with major radio surveys. Our IFRSs are brighter in both radio and infrared than the first-generation IFRSs that were undetected in the infrared by the Spitzer Space Telescope. We present the first spectroscopic redshifts of IFRSs, and find that all but one of the IFRSs with spectroscopy have z>2. We also report the first X-ray counterparts of IFRSs, and present an analysis of radio spectra and polarization, and show that they include gigahertz peaked-spectrum, compact steep-spectrum and ultra-steep-spectrum sources. These results, together with their WISE infrared colours and radio morphologies, imply that our sample of IFRSs represents a population of radio-loud active galactic nuclei at z>2. We conclude that our sample consists of lower redshift counterparts of the extreme first-generation IFRSs, suggesting that the fainter IFRSs are at even higher redshift.

- Description:
- We present the near infrared spectra (0.9-2.5 micron) of protostellar jets (HH 24-26, HH72, BHR71). The observations were carried out with Sofi at R~600 with the 1x290arcsec slit. The spectra are dominated by H2 rovibrational lines (v up 5). Faint emission from ionized material in form of [FeII] and [SII] lines is also recognizable. The tables contain the observed lines together with the measured flux. The reported error derives from the rms of the baseline, multiplied by the width of the instrumental profile (30 Angstrom).

- Description:
- We derive the evolution of the infrared luminosity function (LF) over the last 4/5ths of cosmic time using deep 24um and 70um imaging of the GOODS North and South fields. We perform a stacking analysis to characterize the observed L_24_/(1+z) vs L_70_/(1+z) correlation. Then, using spectral energy distribution templates which best fit this correlation, we derive the infrared luminosity of individual sources from their 24um and 70um luminosities. We then compute the infrared LF at z=1.55+/-0.25 and z=2.05+/-0.25. The redshift evolution of the infrared LF from z=1.5 to z=2 is consistent with a luminosity evolution proportional to (1+z)^1.0+/-0.9^ combined with a density evolution proportional to (1+z)^-1.1+/-1.5^. At z=2, LIRGs are still the main contributors, at 49%, to the total comoving infrared luminosity density of the Universe while ULIRGs account for 17%.

- Description:
- A search for infrared ring nebulae associated with regions of ionized hydrogen has been carried out. The New GPS Very Large Array survey at 20 cm forms the basis of the search, together with observations obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope at 8 and 24um and the Herschel Space Telescope at 70um. Objects having ring-like morphologies at 8um and displaying extended emission at 20cm were selected visually. Emission at 24um having the form of an inner ring or central peak is also observed in the selected objects. A catalog of 99 ring nebulae whose shapes at 8 and 70um are well approximated by ellipses has been compiled. The catalog contains 32 objects whose shapes are close to circular (eccentricities of the fitted ellipses at 8um no greater than 0.6, angular radius exceeding 20"). These objects are promising for comparisons with the results of one-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of expanding regions of ionized hydrogen.

- Description:
- We present a K-band atlas of 106 reflection nebulae, 41 of which are new discoveries. We observed these nebulae with the University of Hawaii 2.2m telescope in the course of an imaging survey of 197 objects that were selected as nearby young Class I sources. K-band images and flux-calibrated surface brightness contour plots of each nebula are presented.

- Description:
- To search for phase lags in the optical-infrared light curves of asymptotic giant branch stars, we have compared infrared data from the COBE DIRBE satellite with optical light curves from the AAVSO and other sources. We found 17 examples of phase lags between the times of infrared and optical maximum, and 4 stars with no observed lags.

- Description:
- By using results from the 2MASS observation, the differences between the X-ray selected BL Lac objects (XBLs) and the radio selected ones (RBLs) in the near infrared are discussed in this paper. It is found that, statistically, the RBLs have redder near infrared colors and steeper spectral indices in the near infrared than XBLs, whereas the XBLs have more influences from their host galaxies than the RBLs. It is also seen that the RBLs have much brighter luminosity in the near infrared than the XBLs. In addition, the high polarization characteristics are found in common for RBLs, but not for XBLs.

- Infrared photometry of brown dwarf and Hyper-LIRG
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/144/148
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5{mu}m photometry and positions for a sample of 1510 brown dwarf candidates identified by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) all-sky survey. Of these, 166 have been spectroscopically classified as objects with spectral types M(1), L(7), T(146), and Y(12). Sixteen other objects are non-(sub)stellar in nature. The remainder are most likely distant L and T dwarfs lacking spectroscopic verification, other Y dwarf candidates still awaiting follow-up, and assorted other objects whose Spitzer photometry reveals them to be background sources. We present a catalog of Spitzer photometry for all astrophysical sources identified in these fields and use this catalog to identify seven fainter (4.5{mu}m~17.0mag) brown dwarf candidates, which are possibly wide-field companions to the original WISE sources. To test this hypothesis, we use a sample of 919 Spitzer observations around WISE-selected high-redshift hyper-luminous infrared galaxy candidates. For this control sample, we find another six brown dwarf candidates, suggesting that the seven companion candidates are not physically associated. In fact, only one of these seven Spitzer brown dwarf candidates has a photometric distance estimate consistent with being a companion to the WISE brown dwarf candidate. Other than this, there is no evidence for any widely separated (>20AU) ultra-cool binaries. As an adjunct to this paper, we make available a source catalog of ~7.33x10^5^ objects detected in all of these Spitzer follow-up fields for use by the astronomical community. The complete catalog includes the Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5{mu}m photometry, along with positionally matched B and R photometry from USNO-B; J, H, and K_s_ photometry from Two Micron All-Sky Survey; and W1, W2, W3, and W4 photometry from the WISE all-sky catalog.

- Infrared properties of barium stars
- Short Name:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present the results of a systematic survey for IRAS associations of barium stars. A total of 155 associations were detected, and IRAS low-resolution spectra exist for 50 barium stars. We use different color-color diagrams from the visual band to 60{mu}m, relations between these colors and the spectral type, the barium intensity, and the IRAS low-resolution spectra to discuss physical properties of barium stars in the infrared. It is confirmed that most barium stars have infrared excesses in the near infrared. However, a new result of this work is that most barium stars have no excesses in the far infrared. This fact may imply that infrared excesses of barium stars are mainly due to the re-emission of energy lost from the Bond-Neff depression. It is also shown that the spectral type and the barium intensity of barium stars are not correlated with infrared colors, but may be correlated with V-K color.

- Infrared properties of close pairs of galaxies

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We discuss spectroscopy and IR photometry for a complete sample of ~800 galaxies in close pairs objectively selected from the second Center for Astrophysics redshift survey. We use the Two Micron All Sky Survey to compare near-IR color-color diagrams for our sample with the Nearby Field Galaxy Sample and with a set of IRAS flux-limited pairs from Surace and coworkers. We construct a basic statistical model to explore the physical sources of the substantial differences among these samples. The model explains the spread of near-IR colors and is consistent with a picture in which central star formation is triggered by the galaxy-galaxy interaction before a merger occurs. For 160 galaxies we report new, deep JHK photometry within our spectroscopic aperture, and we use the combined spectroscopic and photometric data to explore the physical conditions in the central bursts.
