- Description:
- Scorpius-Centaurus is the nearest OB association, and its hundreds of members are divided into subgroups, including the Lower Centaurus Crux (LCC). Here we study the dynamics of the LCC area. We report the revelation of a large moving group containing more than 1800 intermediate- and low-mass young stellar objects and brown dwarfs that escaped identification until Gaia DR2 allowed a kinematic and photometric selection to be performed. We investigate the stellar and substellar content of this moving group using the Gaia DR2 astrometric and photometric measurements. The median distance of the members is 114.5pc, and 80% lie between 102 and 135pc from the Sun. Our new members cover a mass range of 0.02-5M_{sun}_ and add up to a total mass of about 700M_{sun}_. The present-day mass function follows a log-normal law with m_c_=0.22M_{sun}_ and {sigma}=0.64. We find more than 200 brown dwarfs in our sample. The star formation rate had its maximum of 8x10^-5^M_{sun}_/yr about 9Myr ago. We grouped the new members into four denser subgroups, which have increasing age from 7 to 10Myr, surrounded by "free-floating" young stars with mixed ages. Our isochronal ages, now based on accurate parallaxes, are compatible with several earlier studies of the region. The whole complex is presently expanding, and the expansion started between 8 and 10Myr ago. Two hundred members show infrared excess compatible with circumstellar disks from full to debris disks. This discovery provides a large sample of nearby young stellar and substellar objects for disk and exoplanet studies.

- ALESS survey: SMGs in the ECDF-S data
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The ALESS survey has followed up on a sample of 122 sub-millimeter sources in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South at 870{mu}m with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), allowing us to pinpoint the positions of sub-millimeter galaxies (SMGs) to ~0.3" and to find their precise counterparts at different wavelengths. This enabled the first compilation of the multi-wavelength spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of a statistically reliable survey of SMGs. In this paper, we present a new calibration of the magphys SED modeling code that is optimized to fit these ultraviolet-to-radio SEDs of z>1 star-forming galaxies using an energy balance technique to connect the emission from stellar populations, dust attenuation, and dust emission in a physically consistent way. We derive statistically and physically robust estimates of the photometric redshifts and physical parameters (such as stellar masses, dust attenuation, star formation rates (SFRs), and dust masses) for the ALESS SMGs.

- ALFALFA discovery of Leo P. II. BVR photometry
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/145/149
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present results from ground-based optical imaging of a low-mass dwarf galaxy discovered by the ALFALFA 21cm HI survey. Broadband (BVR) data obtained with the WIYN 3.5m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) are used to construct color-magnitude diagrams of the galaxy's stellar population down to V_o_~25. We also use narrowband H{alpha} imaging from the KPNO 2.1m telescope to identify a HII region in the galaxy. We use these data to constrain the distance to the galaxy to be between 1.5 and 2.0Mpc. This places Leo P within the Local Volume but beyond the Local Group. Its properties are extreme: it is the lowest-mass system known that contains significant amounts of gas and is currently forming stars.

- ALFALFA discovery of Leo P. IV. VI photometry
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/146/145
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Leo P is a low-luminosity dwarf galaxy discovered through the blind HI Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey. The HI and follow-up optical observations have shown that Leo P is a gas-rich dwarf galaxy with both active star formation and an underlying older population, as well as an extremely low oxygen abundance. Here, we measure the distance to Leo P by applying the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) distance method to photometry of the resolved stellar population from new Large Binocular Telescope V and I band imaging. We measure a distance modulus of 26.19^+0.17^_-0.50_mag corresponding to a distance of 1.72^+0.14^_0.40_Mpc. Although our photometry reaches 3mag below the TRGB, the sparseness of the red giant branch yields higher uncertainties on the lower limit of the distance. Leo P is outside the Local Group with a distance and velocity consistent with the local Hubble flow. While located in a very low-density environment, Leo P lies within ~0.5Mpc of a loose association of dwarf galaxies which include NGC 3109, Antlia, Sextans A, and Sextans B, and 1.1Mpc away from its next nearest neighbor, Leo A. Leo P is one of the lowest metallicity star-forming galaxies known in the nearby universe, comparable in metallicity to I Zw 18 and DDO 68, but with stellar characteristics similar to dwarf spheriodals (dSphs) in the Local Volume such as Carina, Sextans, and Leo II. Given its physical properties and isolation, Leo P may provide an evolutionary link between gas-rich dwarf irregular galaxies and dSphs that have fallen into a Local Group environment and been stripped of their gas.

- Short Name:
- J/AJ/142/170
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a current catalog of 21cm HI line sources extracted from the Arecibo Legacy Fast Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFALFA) survey over ~2800deg^2^ of sky: the {alpha}.40 catalog. Covering 40% of the final survey area, the {alpha}.40 catalog contains 15855 sources in the regions 07h30m<RA<16h30m, +04{deg}<DEC<+16{deg}, and +24{deg}<DEC<+28{deg} and 22h<RA<03h, +14{deg}<DEC<+16{deg}, and +24{deg}<DEC<+32{deg}. Of those, 15041 are certainly extragalactic, yielding a source density of 5.3 galaxies per deg^2^, a factor of 29 improvement over the catalog extracted from the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey. In addition to the source centroid positions, HI line flux densities, recessional velocities, and line widths, the catalog includes the coordinates of the most probable optical counterpart of each HI line detection, and a separate compilation provides a cross-match to identifications given in the photometric and spectroscopic catalogs associated with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. Fewer than 2% of the extragalactic HI line sources cannot be identified with a feasible optical counterpart; some of those may be rare OH megamasers at 0.16<z<0.25. A detailed analysis is presented of the completeness, width-dependent sensitivity function and bias inherent of the {alpha}.40 catalog. The impact of survey selection, distance errors, current volume coverage, and local large-scale structure on the derivation of the HI mass function is assessed.

- Algol-type binaries. IX. V548 Cyg
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/152/49
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a new UV light curve of the Algol eclipsing binary V548 Cyg obtained with the Lunar Ultraviolet Telescope. We model the UV light curve together with two previously published (B and V) light curves, primary star radial velocities, and eclipse timings in a unified multi-data-type solution and determine orbital parameters and absolute dimensions. Timing residuals hint at the presence of a third star in the system. This star is possibly the source of the third light that is needed to obtain a good fit to each of the light curves simultaneously. The light-time oscillation in the timing residuals has a period of either ~19 or ~46years. The third body orbit inclination would have to be low (23{deg} or 15{deg}, respectively) for the third star to have a mass of ~1.5M_{Sun}_, which would be expected for a main-sequence star of color B-V~0.32, as determined from the light curve solution. In an H-R diagram, the mass-gaining, primary component of V548 Cyg is located between the zero-age and terminal-age main sequence for solar composition stars, and close to the 0.4Gyr isochrone.

- Algol-type binaries. VIII. DI Peg & AF Gem
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/147/145
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- New extensive photometry for two triple binary stars, DI Peg and AF Gem, was performed from 2012 October to 2013 January, with two small telescopes at Xinglong station (XLs) of NAOC. From new multi-color observations and previously published ones in literature, the photometric models were (re)deduced using the updated Wilson-Devinney code. The results indicated that the low third lights exist in two classic Algol-type binaries, whose fill-out factors for the more massive components are f_p_=78.2(+/-0.4)% for DI Peg, and f_p_=69.0(+/-0.3)% for AF Gem, respectively. Through analyzing the O-C curves, the orbital periods for two binaries change in the complicated mode. The period of DI Peg possibly appears to show two light-time orbits, whose modulated periods are P_3_=54.6(+/-0.5)yr and P_4_=23.0(+/-0.6)yr, respectively. The inferred minimum masses for the inner and outer sub-stellar companions are M_in_=0.095M_{sun}_ and M_out_=0.170M_{sun}_, respectively. Therefore, DI Peg may be a quadruple star. The orbital period of AF Gem appears to show a continuous period decrease or a cyclic variation; the latter may be preferable. The cyclic oscillation, with a period of 120.3(+/-2.5)yr, may be attributed to the light-time effect due to the third body. This kind of additional companion may extract angular momentum from the central system, which may play a key role in the evolution of the binary.

- Description:
- We present the results of a systematic search for pulsating components in Algol-type eclipsing binary systems. A total number of 14 eclipsing binaries with A-F spectral type primary components were observed for 22 nights. We confirmed small-amplitude oscillating features of a recently detected pulsator TW Dra, which has a pulsating period of 0.053-day and a semi-amplitude of about 5-mmag in B-passband. We discovered new pulsating components in two eclipsing binaries of RX Hya and AB Per. The primary component of RX Hya is pulsating with a dominant period of 0.052-day and a semi-amplitude of about 7-mmag. AB Per has also a pulsating component with a period of 0.196-day and a semi-amplitude of about 10-mmag in B-passband. We suggest that these two new pulsators are members of the newly introduced group of mass-accreting pulsating stars in semi-detached Algol-type eclipsing binary systems.

- Algorithm for correcting CoRoT raw light curves
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/522/A86
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We introduce the CoRoT Detrend Algorithm (CDA) for detrending CoRoT stellar light curves. CDA has the capability to remove random jumps and systematic trends encountered in typical CoRoT data in a fully automatic fashion. Since huge jumps in flux can destroy the information content of a light curve, such an algorithm is essential. From a study of 1030 light curves in the CoRoT IRa01 field we developed three simple assumptions CDA is based upon. In this paper we describe analytically the algorithm and we provide some examples of how it works. We demonstrate its functionality of the algorithm in the cases of CoRoT0102702789, CoRoT0102874481, CoRoT0102741994 and CoRoT0102729260. Using CDA in the specific case of CoRoT0102729260 we detect a candidate exoplanet around the host star of spectral type G5, which remains undetected in the raw light curve; the estimated planetary parameters are Rp=6.27R_E_ and P=1.6986days.

- Description:
- This data server provides access to the ALHAMBRA Final Catalogue. The ALHAMBRA (Advance Large Homogeneous Area Medium Band Redshift Astronomical) survey (Moles et al. 2008) has observed 8 different regions of the sky, including sections of the COSMOS, DEEP2, ELAIS, GOODS-N, SDSS and Groth fields using a new photometric system with 20 contiguous, non-overlapping, equal width (~ 300A) filters, covering the optical range (3500A-9700A), plus the standard broadband NIR J, H and Ks filters. The observations were carried out with the Calar Alto (CAHA) 3.5m telescope using the wide field, 0.25 deg2 FOV optical camera LAICA and the NIR instrument Omega-2000. The ALHAMBRA survey dataset represents a ~700hrs of total exposure time, gathered in between the 2005 and 2012.Further information on the project can be found at the ALHAMBRA web page.
