- Description:
- We analyse the first publicly released deep field of the UK Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Deep eXtragalactic Survey to identify candidate galaxy overdensities at z~1 across ~1deg^2^ in the ELAIS-N1 field. Using I-K, J-K and K-3.6um colours, we identify and spectroscopically follow up five candidate structures with Gemini/Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph and confirm that they are all true overdensities with between five and 19 members each.

- Description:
- The independence of the star formation processes with respect to the environmental conditions is controversial. In particular it is not clear whether star formation in the outer Galaxy, where the environmental conditions are, theoretically, less conducive, occurs in the same way as in the inner Galaxy. We investigate the population of NGC 1893, a young cluster (~3-4Myr) in the outer part of the Galaxy (galactic radius >11kpc) in order to explore the effects of environmental conditions on star forming regions. We present the infrared observations obtained with the IRAC camera on board of the Spitzer Space Telescope and analyze the color-color diagrams to establish the membership of stars with excesses. We also merge this information with that obtained from Chandra ACIS-I observations, in order to identify the Class III population. We find that the cluster is very rich, with 242 PMS Classical T-Tauri stars and 7 Class 0/I stars. Moreover we identify 110 Class III candidate cluster members in the ACIS-I field of view. We estimate a disk fraction for NGC 1893 of about 67%, similar to fraction calculated for nearby star forming regions of the same age. Although the environmental conditions are not favorable, star formation can clearly be very successful in the outer Galaxy, allowing creation of a very rich cluster like NGC 1893.

- Description:
- We present the results of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey APOGEE INfrared Spectroscopy of Young Nebulous Clusters program (IN-SYNC) survey of the Orion A molecular cloud. This survey obtained high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy of about 2700 young pre-main-sequence stars on a ~6{deg} field of view. We have measured accurate stellar parameters (T_eff_, logg, vsini) and extinctions and placed the sources in the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram (HRD). We have also extracted radial velocities for the kinematic characterization of the population. We compare our measurements with literature results to assess the performance and accuracy of the survey. Source extinction shows evidence for dust grains that are larger than those in the diffuse interstellar medium: we estimate an average R_V_=5.5 in the region. Importantly, we find a clear correlation between HRD inferred ages and spectroscopic surface-gravity-inferred ages and between extinction and disk presence; this strongly suggests a real spread of ages larger than a few Myr. Focusing on the young population around NGC 1980/{iota} Ori, which has previously been suggested to be a separate, foreground, older cluster, we confirm its older (~5Myr) age and low A_V_, but considering that its radial velocity distribution is indistinguishable from Orion A's population, we suggest that NGC 1980 is part of Orion A's star formation activity. Based on their stellar parameters and kinematic properties, we identify 383 new candidate members of Orion A, most of which are diskless sources in areas of the region poorly studied by previous works.

- IN-SYNC. VIII. YSOs in NGC 1333, IC 348 and Orion A

- Description:
- In this paper, we address two issues related to primordial disk evolution in three clusters (NGC1333, IC348, and OrionA) observed by the INfrared Spectra of Young Nebulous Clusters (IN-SYNC) project. First, in each cluster, averaged over the spread of age, we investigate how disk lifetime is dependent on stellar mass. The general relation in IC348 and OrionA is that primordial disks around intermediate-mass stars (2-5M_{sun}_) evolve faster than those around loss-mass stars (0.1-1M_{sun}_), which is consistent with previous results. However, considering only low-mass stars, we do not find a significant dependence of disk frequency on stellar mass. These results can help to better constrain theories on gas giant planet formation timescales. Second, in the OrionA molecular cloud, in the mass range of 0.35-0.7M_{sun}_, we provide the most robust evidence to date for disk evolution within a single cluster exhibiting modest age spread. By using surface gravity as an age indicator and employing 4.5{mu}m excess as a primordial disk diagnostic, we observe a trend of decreasing disk frequency for older stars. The detection of intra-cluster disk evolution in NGC1333 and IC348 is tentative, since the slight decrease of disk frequency for older stars is a less than 1{sigma} effect.

- Description:
- The Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) onboard the High-energy INTEGRAL satellite provides photometry in the V Johnson band. OMC is able to detect optical sources brighter than around V~18, from a previously selected list of potential targets of interest. The first catalogue of variable sources observed by OMC has been developed with observations from October 2002 to February 2010. For each object in the catalogue, the median of the visual magnitude, the magnitude at maximum and minimum brightness in the light curve during the window of observations and the period, when found, are provided.

- Description:
- This paper presents integrated magnitudes and colours for synthetic clusters. The integrated parameters have been obtained for the whole cluster population as well as for the main-sequence (MS) population of star clusters. We have also estimated observed integrated magnitudes and colours of the MS population of galactic open clusters, Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) star clusters.

- Description:
- Galactic open clusters provide an abundant sample of stellar aggregates of various sizes, ages and metal abundances, apt to constitute a template for comparison with star systems in other galaxies. In this paper we present and discuss a standard methodology to synthesize U,B,V fluxes and colours, and apply it to a set of 138 open clusters. Results are compared with previous ones available in the literature. We were able to calibrate a mass-luminosity relation by which we evaluated the mass of ~ 400 open clusters, leading to a well defined present-day mass function. The number-complete sample of galactic open clusters presented in Battinelli & Capuzzo-Dolcetta (1992AJ....103.1596B) is enlarged of a 15%.

- Description:
- Researching the properties of the brightest globular cluster (referred to as GC1) in M 81 can provide a fossil record of the earliest stages of galaxy formation and evolution. The Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) Multicolour Sky Survey has carried out deep exposures of M 81. We derive the magnitudes in intermediate-band filters of the BATC system for GC1 and determine its age, mass, and structural parameters. GC1 was observed by BATC using 14 intermediate-band filters covering a wavelength range of 4000-10000{AA}. Based on photometric data in BATC and Two Micron All Sky Survey near-infrared JHKs filters, we constructed an extensive spectral energy distribution of GC1, spanning the wavelength range from 4000 to 20000{AA}. By comparing multicolour photometry with theoretical single stellar population synthesis models, we derived the age and mass of GC1. In addition, we obtained ellipticities, position angles, and surface brightness profiles for GC1 based on the images of deep observations with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope. GC1 is better fitted by the Wilson model than by the King and Sersic models in the F606W filter, and it is better fitted by the Sersic model than by the King and Wilson models in the F814W filter. The 'best-fit' half-light radius of GC1 obtained here is 5.59pc, which is larger than the majority of normal globular clusters (GCs) of the same luminosity. The age and mass of GC1 estimated here are 13.0+/-2.90Gyr and 1.06-1.48x10^7^M_{sun}_, respectively. The Rh versus MV diagram shows that GC1 occupies the same area as extended star clusters. Therefore, we suggest that GC1 is more likely an accreted former nuclear star cluster than a classical GC similar to most of those in the Milky Way.

- Description:
- We present intensive optical, infrared, and radio monitoring observations of the BL Lac object OJ 287, taken between the years 1993-1998. Two large optical outbursts were detected at the predicted times in November 1994 and December 1995. The detection of these outbursts supports the binary black hole model for OJ 287. Optical and radio polarisation observations show large variability in the degree of polarisation and position angle, very similar to those observed during the 1983/84 outburst in OJ 287. The polarisation position angles show very similar behaviour during these observations, indicating that, at least, the magnetic field orientations in radio and optical bands are related in OJ 287. Optical and infrared light curves show continuous variability in time scales ranging from tens of minutes to years. In the radio bands we have observed some of the lowest ever measured flux levels. During the first optical outburst in November 1994 the observed radio flux was very low, but during the second optical outburst radio bands also showed high flux levels. This is a puzzling observation, which can hopefully be used for discriminating between different outburst models. On top of the large outbursts OJ 287 has displayed flaring activity in time scales from days to weeks and shorter time scale flickering.
