971. C- and S-shaped radio galaxies
ID:

Title:
C- and S-shaped radio galaxies
Short Name:

Description:
We study the environment of radio galaxies with different morphological types using the Proctor sample, which was built from the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-Centimeters (FIRST) survey archive. Among the 15 radio galaxy types classified by Proctor, 199 C-shaped (i.e., wide- or narrow-angle tail) and 203 S-shaped (i.e., S- or Z-shaped) sources are selected in this work, which are located in the redshift range of 0.02<z<1, because these two subsamples are relatively larger than the other subsamples in the Proctor sample. By cross-matching these radio galaxies with the optical sources drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) database and counting the SDSS sources with an r-band absolute magnitude brighter than -19 located within a 0.5Mpc distance around each source (i.e., the richness), we find that the fraction of C-shaped sources with a richness above 10 is larger than that of S-shaped sources. We have also correlated the radio galaxies in our sample with the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) defined in the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED), and infer that the C-shaped sources are more likely to be BCGs than the S-shaped sources. These results support the idea that C-shaped radio galaxies often reside in a richer environment than radio galaxies with other morphological types.

Title:
Cand. young OB stars from GALEX & Gaia DR2
Short Name:

Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We combine Galaxy Evolution Explorer and Gaia DR2 catalogs to track star formation in the outskirts of our Galaxy. Using photometry, proper motions, and parallaxes we identify a structure of ~300 OB-type candidates located between 12 and 15kpc from the Galactic center that are kinematically cold. The structure is located between l=120{deg} and 200{deg}, above the plane up to ~700pc and below the plane to ~1kpc. The bulk motion is disklike; however, we measure a mean upward vertical motion of 5.7+/-0.4km/s, and a mean outward radial motion of between 8 and 16km/s. The velocity dispersion along the least dispersed of its proper-motion axes (perpendicular to the Galactic disk) is 6.0+/-0.3km/s, confirming the young age of this structure. While spatially encompassing the outer spiral arm of the Galaxy, this structure is not a spiral arm. Its explanation as the Milky Way warp is equally unsatisfactory. The structure's vertical extent, mean kinematics, and asymmetry with respect to the plane indicate that its origin is more akin to a wobble generated by a massive satellite perturbing the Galaxy's disk. The mean stellar ages in this outer structure indicate the event took place some 200Myr ago.

Title:
Canis Major R1 X-ray sources
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The CMa R1 star-forming region contains several compact clusters as well as many young early-B stars. It is associated with a well-known bright rimmed nebula, the nature of which is unclear (fossil HII region or supernova remnant). To help elucidate the nature of the nebula, our goal was to reconstruct the star-formation history of the CMa R1 region, including the previously unknown older, fainter low-mass stellar population, using X-rays. We analyzed images obtained with the ROSAT satellite, covering ~5deg^2^. Complementary VRI photometry was performed with the Gemini South telescope. Colour-magnitude and colour-colour diagrams were used in conjunction with pre-main sequence evolutionary tracks to derive the masses and ages of the X-ray sources.

Description:
We present the Capodimonte Deep Field (OACDF), a deep field covering an area of 0.5{deg}^2^ in the B, V, R optical bands plus six medium-band filters in the wavelength range 773-913nm. The field reaches the following limiting magnitudes: B_AB_~25.3, V_AB_~24.8 and R_AB_~25.1 and contains ~50000 extended sources in the magnitude range 18<=R_AB_<=25.0. Hence, it is intermediate between deep pencil beam surveys and very wide but shallow surveys.

Title:
Carbon star in Magellanic Cloud
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/376/313
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Dust radiative transfer models are presented for 60 carbon stars in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) for which 535m Spitzer infrared spectrograph (IRS) spectra and quasi-simultaneous ground-based JHKL photometry are available. From the modelling, the luminosity and mass-loss rate are derived (under the assumption of a fixed expansion velocity and dust-to-gas ratio), and the ratio of silicon carbide (SiC) to amorphous carbon (AMC) dust is also derived. This ratio is smaller than observed in Galactic carbon stars, as has been noted before. Light curves for 36 objects can be retrieved from the massive compact halo object (MACHO) and optical gravitational lensing experiment (OGLE) data bases, and periods can be derived for all but two of these. Including data from the literature, periods are available for 53 stars.
976. Carbon stars and DQ white dwarfs from SDSS-DR7+DR8

Title:
Carbon stars and DQ white dwarfs from SDSS-DR7+DR8
Short Name:
J/ApJ/765/12
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Among stars showing carbon molecular bands (C stars), the main-sequence dwarfs, likely in post-mass transfer binaries, are numerically dominant in the Galaxy. Via spectroscopic selection from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we retrieve 1220 high galactic latitude C stars, ~5 times more than previously known, including a wider variety than past techniques such as color or grism selection have netted, and additionally yielding 167 DQ white dwarfs. Of the C stars with proper motion measurements, we identify 69% clearly as dwarfs (dCs), while ~7% are giants. The dCs likely span absolute magnitudes M_i_ from ~6.5 to 10.5. "G-type" dC stars with weak CN and relatively blue colors are probably the most massive dCs still cool enough to show C_2_bands. We report Balmer emission in 22 dCs, none of which are G-types. We find 8 new DA/dC stars in composite spectrum binaries, quadrupling the total sample of these "smoking guns" for AGB binary mass transfer. Eleven very red C stars with strong red CN bands appear to be "N"-type AGB stars at large Galactocentric distances, one likely a new discovery in the dIrr galaxy Leo A. Two such stars within 30' of each other may trace a previously unidentified dwarf galaxy or tidal stream at ~40 kpc. We explore the multiwavelength properties of the sample and report the first X-ray detection of a dC star, which shows strong Balmer emission. Our own spectroscopic survey additionally provides the dC surface density from a complete sample of dwarfs limited by magnitude, color, and proper motion.
977. Carbon stars from LAMOST DR2 data

Title:
Carbon stars from LAMOST DR2 data
Short Name:
J/ApJS/226/1
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
In this work, we present the new catalog of carbon stars from the LAMOST DR2 catalog. In total, 894 carbon stars are identified from multiple line indices measured from the stellar spectra. We are able to identify the carbon stars by combining the CN bands in the red end with C_2_ and other lines. Moreover, we also classify the carbon stars into spectral sub-types of C-H, C-R, and C-N. These sub-types show distinct features in the multi-dimensional line indices, implying that in the future they can be used to identify carbon stars from larger spectroscopic data sets. While the C-N stars are clearly separated from the others in the line index space, we find no clear separation between the C-R and C-H sub-types. The C-R and C-H stars seem to smoothly transition from one to another. This may hint that the C-R and C-H stars may not be different in their origins, instead their spectra look different because of different metallicities. Due to the relatively low spectral resolution and lower signal-to-noise ratio, the ratio of ^12^C/^13^C is not measured and thus the C-J stars are not identified.

Title:
Carbon stars from LAMOST using machine learning
Short Name:
J/ApJS/234/31
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
In this work, we present a catalog of 2651 carbon stars from the fourth Data Release (DR4) of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopy Telescope (LAMOST). Using an efficient machine-learning algorithm, we find these stars from more than 7 million spectra. As a by-product, 17 carbon-enhanced metal- poor turnoff star candidates are also reported in this paper, and they are preliminarily identified by their atmospheric parameters. Except for 176 stars that could not be given spectral types, we classify the other 2475 carbon stars into five subtypes: 864 C-H, 226 C-R, 400 C-J, 266 C-N, and 719 barium stars based on a series of spectral features. Furthermore, we divide the C-J stars into three subtypes, C-J(H), C-J(R), and C-J(N), and about 90% of them are cool N-type stars as expected from previous literature. Besides spectroscopic classification, we also match these carbon stars to multiple broadband photometries. Using ultraviolet photometry data, we find that 25 carbon stars have FUV detections and that they are likely to be in binary systems with compact white dwarf companions.
979. Carbon stars from the Hamburg/ESO survey
ID:

Title:
Carbon stars from the Hamburg/ESO survey
Short Name:
J/A+A/375/366
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This catalog contains 403 Faint High Latitude Carbon (FHLC) stars selected from the digitized objective prism plates of the Hamburg/ESO Survey (HES). Because of the ~15{AA} spectral resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio of the HES prism spectra, our automated procedure based on the detection of C_2_ and CN molecular bands permits high-confidence identification of carbon stars without the need for follow-up spectroscopy. 329 plates (87% of the survey) were examined, covering 6400deg^2^ to a magnitude limit of V~16.5. The catalog lists coordinates, photometry, and carbon band indices for 403 FHLC stars found in the Hamburg/ESO survey. B_J_ magnitudes are accurate to better than +/-0.2mag, including zero point errors. V magnitudes, B-V and U-B colors were derived by the procedure described in Christlieb et al. (2001A&A...366..898C). We also list an object classification for the sources, where "stars", "bright" and "ext" refer to point sources, sources above a saturation threshold, and sources detected as extended in DSS I images, respectively. We do not list V, B-V and U-B for saturated objects, because our color calibrations are not valid for them. Finally, we list two selection flags.
980. Carbon stars in IC10

Title:
Carbon stars in IC10
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present wide field CFH12K observations of the highly reddened Local Group galaxy IC 10. Using R,I,CN and TiO filters we identify 676 carbon stars in the field of IC 10. After mapping the reddening in the field, from the colours of the G dwarfs seen along the line of sight, we determine the mean apparent magnitude of the C star population to be <I_0_>=19.78, leading to a true modulus of (m-M)_0_=24.35+/-0.11 (741+/-37kpc). The old red giant stars define an asymmetric halo. With a halo diameter of at least 30', IC 10 is among the largest dwarfs of the Local Group. The surface density of C stars follows a radial power law with a scale length of 2.36', a value nearly identical to the scale length defined by the old giants thus IC 10 has a stellar halo where the old and intermediate-age populations are well mixed.
