1. A CO survey of young planetary nebulae
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/160/272
Title:
A CO survey of young planetary nebulae
Short Name:
J/ApJS/160/272
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We report the results of a sensitive survey of young planetary nebulae in the CO J=2-1 line that significantly increases the available data on warm, dense, molecular gas in the early phases of planetary nebula formation. The observations were made using the IRAM 30m telescope with the 3x3 pixel Heterodyne Receiver Array (HERA). The array provides an effective means of discriminating the CO emission of planetary nebulae in the Galactic plane from contaminating emission of interstellar clouds along the line of sight. A total of 110 planetary nebulae were observed in the survey, and 40 were detected. The results increase the number of young planetary nebulae with known CO emission by approximately a factor of 2. The CO spectra yield radial velocities for the detected nebulae, about half of which have uncertain or no velocity measurements at optical wavelengths. The CO profiles range from parabolic to double-peaked, tracing the evolution of structure in the molecular gas. The line widths are significantly larger than on the asymptotic giant branch, and many of the lines show extended wings, which probably result from the effects on the envelopes of high-velocity jets.
2. AFGL 5157 near-IR imaging

Title:
AFGL 5157 near-IR imaging
Short Name:
J/AJ/117/446
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present near-infrared images of the star-forming region AFGL 5157 in the JHK broadband filters and H_2_v=1-0S(1) narrowband filter. The images reveal a dense cluster of stars and infrared nebulosities associated with previously known infrared sources. Of 54 near-infrared sources detected in the nebula, NGC 1985, 12 exhibit infrared excesses typical of T Tauri stars, Herbig Ae/Be stars, and protostars. The magnitude and color distribution of the cluster of stars in the nebula are found to be different from those outside the nebular region. The K'-magnitude distribution of the cluster is quite flat, while the noncluster is peaked toward the low magnitude. The [H-K'] color of the cluster also displays 0.3 mag redder than that of the noncluster. The infrared nebula displays a bright nucleus with two spirals extended to the north and south. In light of the color properties of the nebula, we propose a shell model for the nebular structure that could be formed by star-forming activity of the central cluster.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present continuum and molecular line emission ALMA observations of OH 231.8+4.2, a well studied bipolar nebula around an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star. The high angular resolution (~0.2"-0.3") and sensitivity of our ALMA maps provide the most detailed and accurate description of the overall nebular structure and kinematics of this object to date. We have identified a number of outflow components previously unknown. Species studied in this work include ^12^CO, ^13^CO, CS, SO, SO_2_, OCS, SiO, SiS, H_3_O^+^, Na^37^Cl, and CH_3_OH. The molecules Na^37^Cl and CH_3_OH are first detections in OH 231.8+4.2, with CH_3_OH being also a first detection in an AGB star.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the results of observations of the ammonia (1,1) and (2,2) lines in a field of 7'x7' centered in the LBV ring nebula G79.29+0.46. The survey also includes a significant part of the IRDC G79.3+0.3. Data have been gathered with the 100m radio telescope at Effelsberg. Both lines have been observed simultaneously with excellent spectral resolution. A clump of the IRDC, referred in the paper as the SW region, is sampled every 20"; sampling is 40" elsewhere.
5. ATCA Survey of Sagittarius B2 at 7mm
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/452/3969
Title:
ATCA Survey of Sagittarius B2 at 7mm
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/452/3969
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a 30-50GHz survey of Sagittarius B2(N) conducted with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) with 5 - 10 arcsec resolution. We analyze the spectra towards three HII regions that have foreground molecular gas in Sgr B2. Towards the most line-dense region, we detect >500 spectral line components, >90% of which are assigned to H and He recombination lines and 53 firmly identified molecular species (not including isotopologues). The data reveal extremely subthermally excited molecular gas in Sgr B2 absorbing against the continuum background, as well as molecular line emission from two hot cores in Sgr B2(N). They also also contain line-of-sight absorption by ~15 molecules observed in translucent gas in the Galactic Center, bar, and intervening spiral arm clouds, revealing the complex chemistry and clumpy structure of this gas. Formamide (NH_2_CHO) is detected for the first time in a translucent cloud.
6. Barnard's Catalogue of 349 Dark Objects in the Sky

Title:
Barnard's Catalogue of 349 Dark Objects in the Sky
Short Name:
VII/220A
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This catalogue was created based on the original published catalogue by Barnard E.E., 1927, Carnegie Institution of Washington, "A photographic Atlas of selected regions of the Milky Way". The catalogue contains positions of 349 Barnard Objects. The objects with numbers from 1 to 175 are classified in the first Barnard catalogue (1919ApJ....49....1B); three of the objects in that list have been omitted here (Nos 52, 131a, and 172) because these objects had been listed twice. The objects from Barnard's second list are numbered from 201 to 370 -- there are therefore no objects having the numbers from 176 to 200. Their positions were determined by Miss Calvert. The epoch for all positions in the original published catalogue was 1875.0. Positions for both 1875.0 and 2000.0, the diameters and the notes are included in this machine-readable catalogue.

Using a CCD detector, BVRI photometry has been carried out in the vicinity of nine Lynds dark nebulae. In conjunction with spectroscopic data which could be obtained at a later stage, the data listed herein could be used for possible distance determinations of the nine nebulae.
8. Carina OB stars in the CCCP catalog
ID:

Title:
Carina OB stars in the CCCP catalog
Short Name:
J/ApJS/194/5
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Chandra Carina Complex contains 200 known O- and B-type stars. The Chandra survey detected 68 of the 70 O stars and 61 of 127 known B0-B3 stars. We have assembled a publicly available optical/X-ray database to identify OB stars that depart from the canonical L_X/L_bol relation or whose average X-ray temperatures exceed 1keV. Among the single O stars with high kT we identify two candidate magnetically confined wind shock sources: Tr16-22, O8.5 V, and LS 1865, O8.5 V((f)). The O4 III(fc) star HD 93250 exhibits strong, hard, variable X-rays, suggesting that it may be a massive binary with a period of >30d. The visual O2 If* binary HD 93129A shows soft 0.6keV and hard 1.9keV emission components, suggesting embedded wind shocks close to the O2 If* Aa primary and colliding wind shocks between Aa and Ab. Of the 11 known O-type spectroscopic binaries, the long orbital-period systems HD 93343, HD 93403, and QZ Car have higher shock temperatures than short-period systems such as HD 93205 and FO 15. Although the X-rays from most B stars may be produced in the coronae of unseen, low-mass pre-main-sequence companions, a dozen B stars with high L_X_ cannot be explained by a distribution of unseen companions. One of these, SS73 24 in the Treasure Chest cluster, is a new candidate Herbig Be star.
