- Description:
- A catalogue of equivalent widths of H{gamma} measured by R.M. Petrie in the spectra of 1171 stars is presented. The catalogue represents a compilation of all the published and unpublished values available to us. It is shown that no systematic differences exist between the equivalent widths by Petrie and those currently being derived at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory.

- Description:
- We have compiled and homogenized a sample of high and low SB disk galaxies with available photometry in the B and K bands, velocity line-widths and HI integral fluxes. Several parameters that trace the luminous, baryonic and dark matter contents were inferred. We investigated how these parameters do vary with different galaxy properties, and confronted the results with predictions of galaxy evolutionary models in the context of the {Lambda} Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) cosmogony. The fractions of dark, baryonic and luminous matter inside disk sizes (for observations and models) depend mainly on the disk surface density (or brightness). We have not found significant correlations of these fractions on galaxy scale or luminosity, contrary to what has been reported in previous works, based on the analysis of rotation curve shapes. We discuss this difference and state the importance to solve the controversy. The broad agreement between the models and observations presented here favors the LCDM scenario. However, the excess of dark matter inside the optical region of disk galaxies remains as the main difficulty.

- Description:
- In preparation for the upcoming all-sky data releases of the Gaia mission we compiled a catalog of known hot subdwarf stars and candidates drawn from the literature and yet unpublished databases. By matching this catalog with astrometric and photometric data from the Gaia mission, we will develop selection criteria to construct a homogeneous, magnitude-limited all-sky catalog of hot subdwarf stars based on Gaia data.

- Description:
- Infrared (IR) excesses around K-type red giants (RGs) have previously been discovered using Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS) data, and past studies have suggested a link between RGs with overabundant Li and IR excesses, implying the ejection of circumstellar shells or disks. We revisit the question of IR excesses around RGs using higher spatial resolution IR data, primarily from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. Our goal was to elucidate the link between three unusual RG properties: fast rotation, enriched Li, and IR excess. Our sample of RGs includes those with previous IR detections, a sample with well-defined rotation and Li abundance measurements with no previous IR measurements, and a large sample of RGs asserted to be Li-rich in the literature; we have 316 targets thought to be K giants, about 40% of which we take to be Li-rich. In 24 cases with previous detections of IR excess at low spatial resolution, we believe that source confusion is playing a role, in that either (a) the source that is bright in the optical is not responsible for the IR flux, or (b) there is more than one source responsible for the IR flux as measured in IRAS. We looked for IR excesses in the remaining sources, identifying 28 that have significant IR excesses by ~20{mu}m (with possible excesses for 2 additional sources). There appears to be an intriguing correlation in that the largest IR excesses are all in Li-rich K giants, though very few Li-rich K giants have IR excesses (large or small). These largest IR excesses also tend to be found in the fastest rotators. There is no correlation of IR excess with the carbon isotopic ratio, ^12^C/^13^C. IR excesses by 20{mu}m, though relatively rare, are at least twice as common among our sample of Li-rich K giants. If dust shell production is a common by-product of Li enrichment mechanisms, these observations suggest that the IR excess stage is very short-lived, which is supported by theoretical calculations. Conversely, the Li-enrichment mechanism may only occasionally produce dust, and an additional parameter (e.g., rotation) may control whether or not a shell is ejected.

- Catalog of 2612 M dwarfs from LAMOST
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/150/42
- Date:

- CDS
- Description:
- We develop a template-fit method to automatically identify and classify late-type K and M dwarfs in spectra from the Large Sky Area Multi-object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST). A search of the commissioning data, acquired in 2009-2010, yields the identification of 2612 late-K and M dwarfs. The template fit method also provides spectral classification to half a subtype, classifies the stars along the dwarf-subdwarf (dM/sdM/esdM/usdM) metallicity sequence, and provides improved metallicity/gravity information on a finer scale. The automated search and classification is performed using a set of cool star templates assembled from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopic database. We show that the stars can be efficiently classified despite shortcomings in the LAMOST commissioning data which include bright sky lines in the red. In particular we find that the absolute and relative strengths of the critical TiO and CaH molecular bands around 7000{AA} are cleanly measured, which provides accurate spectral typing from late-K to mid-M, and makes it possible to estimate metallicity classes in a way that is more efficient and reliable than with the use of spectral indices or spectral-index based parameters such as {zeta}_TiO/CaH_. Most of the cool dwarfs observed by LAMOST are found to be metal-rich dwarfs (dM). However, we identify 52 metal-poor M subdwarfs (sdM), 5 very metal-poor extreme subdwarfs (esdM) and 1 probable ultra metal-poor subdwarf (usdM). We use a calibration of spectral type to absolute magnitude and estimate spectroscopic distances for all the stars; we also recover proper motions from the SUPERBLINK and PPMXL catalogs. Our analysis of the estimated transverse motions suggests a mean velocity and standard deviation for the UVW components of velocity to be: <U>=-9.8km/s, {sigma}_U_=35.6km/s; <V> =-22.8km/s, {sigma}_V_=30.6km/s; <W> =-7.9km/s, {sigma}_W_=28.4km/s. The resulting values are in general agreement with previous reported results, which yields confidence in our spectral classification and spectroscopic distance estimates, and illustrates the potential for using LAMOST spectra of K and M dwarfs for investigating the chemo-kinematics of the local Galactic disk and halo.

- Catalog of M, L, & T dwarfs from PS1 3{pi} Survey
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/234/1
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a catalog of 9888 M, L and T dwarfs detected in the Pan-STARRS1 3{pi} Survey (PS1), covering three-quarters of the sky. Our catalog contains nearly all known objects of spectral types L0-T2 in the PS1 field, with objects as early as M0 and as late as T9, and includes PS1, 2MASS, AllWISE, and Gaia DR1 photometry. We analyze the different types of photometry reported by PS1 and use two types in our catalog in order to maximize both depth and accuracy. Using parallaxes from the literature, we construct empirical SEDs for field ultracool dwarfs spanning 0.5-12{mu}m. We determine typical colors of M0-T9 dwarfs and highlight the distinctive colors of subdwarfs and young objects. We combine astrometry from PS1, 2MASS, and Gaia DR1 to calculate new proper motions for our catalog. We achieve a median precision of 2.9mas/yr, a factor of ~3-10 improvement over previous large catalogs. Our catalog contains proper motions for 2405 M6-T9 dwarfs and includes the largest set of homogeneous proper motions for L and T dwarfs published to date, 406 objects for which there were no previous measurements, and 1176 objects for which we improve upon previous literature values. We analyze the kinematics of ultracool dwarfs in our catalog and find evidence that bluer but otherwise generic late-M and L field dwarfs (i.e., not subdwarfs) tend to have tangential velocities higher than those of typical field objects. With the public release of the PS1 data, this survey will continue to be an essential tool for characterizing the ultracool dwarf population.

- Catalog of M31 SNR candidates

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present a survey of optically emitting supernova remnants (SNRs) in M31 based on H{alpha} and [S II] images in the Local Group Survey. Using these images, we select objects that have [S II]:H{alpha}>0.4 and circular shapes. We identify 156 SNR candidates, of which 76 are newly found objects. We classify these SNR candidates according to two criteria: the SNR progenitor type (Type Ia and core-collapse (CC) SNRs) and the morphological type. Type Ia and CC SNR candidates make up 23% and 77%, respectively, of the total sample. Most of the CC SNR candidates are concentrated in the spiral arms, while the Type Ia SNR candidates are rather distributed over the entire galaxy, including the inner region. The CC SNR candidates are brighter in H{alpha} and [S II] than the Type Ia SNR candidates. We derive a cumulative size distribution of the SNR candidates, finding that the distribution of the candidates with 17<D<50 pc is fitted well by a power law with the power-law index {alpha}=2.53+/-0.04. This indicates that most of the SNR candidates identified in this study appear to be in the Sedov-Taylor phase. The [S II]:H{alpha} distribution of the SNR candidates is bimodal, with peaks at [S II]:H{alpha}~0.4 and~0.9. The properties of these SNR candidates vary little with the galactocentric distance. The H{alpha} and [S II] surface brightnesses show a good correlation with the X-ray luminosity of the SNR candidates that are center-bright.

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The U.S. Naval Observatory Catalog of Positions of Infrared Stellar Sources (CPIRSS) was originally compiled in 1994 to provide astrometry at the sub-arcsecond level for many of the point sources in the 1987 version of the IRAS Point Source Catalog (NASA RP-1190). This was accomplished by the identification of IRAS sources with bright optical stars, checked by requiring the color V-[12] (with [12] being a magnitude derived from the IRAS flux) to be consistent with the optical colors or spectral type. Additionally, the K magnitude (2.2 microns) has been estimated. This version, completed in 2001, contains 37,700 stars and includes the Hipparcos and Tycho-2 astrometry and photometry which was unavailable at the time of the original compilation.

- Description:
- This catalog groups the 2442 galaxies making up the sample of distant galaxies prepared by the authors published as 3 papers in 2009: radio data (paper I, table1), photometric data (paper II, table2), and angular sizes (paper III, table 3). The sample of distant (z>0.3) radio galaxies is aimed at application in cosmological tests. It was created using NED, SDSS, and CATS databases, and is assumed to be cleaned from objects with quasar properties.
