- Description:
- We are monitoring a 6{deg} wide stripe along the southern Galactic disk simultaneously in the r and i bands, using a robotic 15-cm twin telescope of the Universitatsternwarte Bochum near Cerro Armazones in Chile. Utilising the telescope's 2.7{deg} field of view, the survey aims at observing a mosaic of 268 fields once per month and to monitor dedicated fields once per night. The survey reaches a sensitivity from 10m down to 18m (AB system), with a completeness limit of r~15.5m and i~14.5m which - due to the instrumental pixel size of 2.4" - refers to stars separated by >3". This brightness range is ideally suited to examine the intermediately bright stellar population supposed to be saturated in deep variability surveys with large telescopes. To connect to deep surveys or to explore faint long term variables, coadded images of several nights reach a depth of ~20m. The astrometric accuracy is better than 1", as determined from the overlap of neighbouring fields. We describe the survey design, the data properties and our procedures to derive the light curves and to extract variable stars. We present a list of ~2200 variable stars identified in 50 square degrees with 50-80 observations between May and October 2011. For bright stars the variability amplitude A reaches down to A~0.05m, while at the faint end variations of A>1m are detected. About 200 stars were known to be variable, and their amplitudes and periods - as far as determinable from our six month monitoring - agree with literature values, demonstrating the performance of the Bochum Galactic Disk Survey.

- Bolometric flux estimation for cool evolved stars

- Description:
- Estimation of bolometric fluxes (F_BOL_) is an essential component of stellar effective temperature determination with optical and near-infrared interferometry. Reliable estimation of F_BOL_ simply from broadband K-band photometry data is a useful tool in those cases were contemporaneous and/or wide-range photometry is unavailable for a detailed spectral energy distribution (SED) fit, as was demonstrated in Dyck et al. Recalibrating the intrinsic F_BOL_ versus observed F_2.2{mu}m_ relationship of that study with modern SED fitting routines, which incorporate the significantly non-blackbody, empirical spectral templates of the INGS spectral library (an update of the library in Pickles) and estimation of reddening, serves to greatly improve the accuracy and observational utility of this relationship. We find that F_BOL_ values predicted are roughly 11% less than the corresponding values predicted in Dyck et al., indicating the effects of SED absorption features across bolometric flux curves.

- Bootes-HiZELS. Em-line galaxies at z=0.4-4.7

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present a sample of ~1000 emission-line galaxies at z=0.4-4.7 from the ~0.7deg^2^ High-z Emission-Line Survey in the Bootes field identified with a suite of six narrow-band filters at ~=0.4-2.1{mu}m. These galaxies have been selected on their Ly{alpha} (73), [OII] (285), H{beta}/[OIII] (387) or H{alpha} (362) emission line, and have been classified with optical to near-infrared colours. A subsample of 98 sources have reliable redshifts from multiple narrow-band (e.g. [OII]-H{alpha}) detections and/or spectroscopy. In this survey paper, we present the observations, selection and catalogues of emitters. We measure number densities of Ly{alpha}, [OII], H{beta}/[OIII] and H{alpha} and confirm strong luminosity evolution in star-forming galaxies from z~0.4 to ~5, in agreement with previous results. To demonstrate the usefulness of dual-line emitters, we use the sample of dual [OII]-H{alpha} emitters to measure the observed [OII]/H{alpha} ratio at z=1.47. The observed [OII]/H{alpha} ratio increases significantly from 0.40+/-0.01 at z=0.1 to 0.52+/-0.05 at z=1.47, which we attribute to either decreasing dust attenuation with redshift, or due to a bias in the (typically) fibre measurements in the local Universe that only measure the central kpc regions. At the bright end, we find that both the H{alpha} and Ly{alpha} number densities at z~=2.2 deviate significantly from a Schechter form, following a power law. We show that this is driven entirely by an increasing X-ray/active galactic nucleus fraction with line luminosity, which reaches ~=100 per cent at line luminosities L>=3x10^44^erg/s.

- Description:
- We study the morphology and size of the luminous and massive galaxies at 0.3<z<0.7 targeted in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) using publicly available Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging, and catalogues, from the COSMic Origins Survey (COSMOS). Our sample (240 objects) provides a unique opportunity to check the visual morphology of these galaxies which were targeted based solely on stellar population modelling.

- BOSS: quasar luminosity function
- Short Name:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present a new measurement of the optical quasar luminosity function (QLF), using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III: Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (SDSS-III: BOSS). From the SDSS-III Data Release Nine, a uniform sample of 22301 i<~21.8 quasars are selected over an area of 2236deg^2^, with confirmed spectroscopic redshifts between 2.2<z<3.5, filling in a key part of the luminosity-redshift plane for optical quasar studies. The completeness of the survey is derived through simulated quasar photometry, and this completeness estimate is checked using a sample of quasars selected by their photometric variability within the BOSS footprint. We investigate the level of systematics associated with our quasar sample using the simulations, in the process generating color-redshift relations and a new quasar K-correction. We probe the faint end of the QLF to M_i_(z=2.2){approx}-24.5 and see a clear break in the QLF at all redshifts up to z=3.5. A log-linear relation (in log{Phi}*-M*) for a luminosity evolution and density evolution model is found to adequately describe our data within the range 2.2<z<3.5; across this interval the break luminosity increases by a factor of ~2.6 while {Phi}* declines by a factor of ~8. At z<~2.2 our data are reasonably well fit by a pure luminosity evolution model, and only a weak signature of "AGN downsizing" is seen, in line with recent studies of the hard X-ray luminosity function. We compare our measured QLF to a number of theoretical models and find that models making a variety of assumptions about quasar triggering and halo occupation can fit our data over a wide range of redshifts and luminosities.

- Description:
- The semi-detached eclipsing binary system BP Muscae has been analysed using the Wilson-Devinney program. The physical and orbital parameters have been determined through a self-consistent simultaneous solution of light curves in seven colours and of the radial velocity curves of both components. The 373 photometric measurements of BP Mus in the 7-colour GENEVA system are listed in the table. P and Q are the weights in colours and V magnitude (see Rufener, 1988, Cat. <II/169>).

- Publisher:

- Description:
- New CCD photometric monitoring on the high-amplitude delta Scuti variable BP Peg was carried out on November 4, 2013 by using the 1.0-m reflecting telescope of Yunnan Observatories in China as well as on December 29, 2013 by using the 85-cm telescope at Xinglong Station of National Astronomical Observatory in China. BP Peg is a new high-amplitude delta Scuti variable with a period of 0.10954357-day. We have collected all the times of light maximum from the literature together with our data, and the pulsation period changes are analyzed through Observed-Calculated (O-C) method. With the available data, we discover that the pulsating period of BP Peg shows a cyclic oscillation with a period of 24.5-years and an amplitude of 0.0060-days. If the cyclic period changes are caused by light-time effect in a binary system, the reckoned mass of the hidden companion could be 0.20M_{sun}_ and possibly, it is an M-type star.
