- Description:
- We present deep surface photometry of a volume-limited sample of 21 UM emission line galaxies in broadband optical UBVRI and near infra-red (NIR) HKs filters. The sample comprises 19 blue compact galaxies (BCGs) and two spirals. For some targets the exposure times are the deepest to date. For the BCG UM462 we observe a previously undetected second disk component beyond a surface brightness level of mu_B_=26mag/arcsec^2^. This is a true low surface brightness component with central surface brightness mu_0_=24.1mag/arcsec^2^ and scale length h_r_=1.5kpc. All BCGs are dwarfs, with M_B_>=-18, and very compact, with an average scale length of h_r_~1kpc. We separate the burst and host populations for each galaxy and compare them to stellar evolutionary models with and without nebular emission contribution. We also measure the A_180_ asymmetry in all filters and detect a shift from optical to NIR in the average asymmetry of the sample. This shift seems to be correlated with the morphological class of the BCGs. Using the color-asymmetry relation, we identify five BCGs in the sample as mergers, which is confirmed by their morphological class. Though clearly separated from normal galaxies in the concentration-asymmetry parameter space, we find that it is not possible to distinguish luminous starbursting BCGs from the merely star forming low luminosity BCGs.

- Multicolor eclipse data for 6 new binaries

- Description:
- We present the discovery and characterization of six new M dwarf eclipsing binary systems. The 12 stars in these eclipsing systems have masses spanning 0.38-0.59M_{sun}_ and orbital periods of 0.6-1.7 days, with typical uncertainties of ~0.3% in mass and ~0.5%-2.0% in radius. Combined with six known systems with high-precision measurements, our results reveal an intriguing trend in the low-mass regime. For stars with M=0.35-0.80M_{sun}_, components in short-period binary systems (P<~1 day; 12 stars) have radii which are inflated by up to 10% ({mu}=4.8+/-1.0%) with respect to evolutionary models for low-mass main-sequence stars, whereas components in longer-period systems (>1.5 days; 12 stars) tend to have smaller radii ({mu}=1.7+/-0.7%).

- Description:
- An optical photometric observation with the Beijing-Arizona-Taipei-Connecticut multicolor system is carried out for the central region of the nearby cluster of galaxies Abell 2634. From the 2Kx2K CCD images with 14 filters, which cover a range of wavelength from 3600 to 10000{AA}, 5572 sources are detected down to V~20mag in a field of 56'x56' centered on this regular cluster of galaxies. As a result, we achieved the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of all sources detected. There are 178 previously known galaxies included in our observations, 147 of which have known radial velocities in the literature. After excluding the foreground and background galaxies, a sample of 124 known members is formed for an investigation of the SED properties. The comparison of observed SEDs of the early-type member galaxies with the template SEDs demonstrates the accuracy and reliability of our photometric measurements.

- Description:
- We present broadband (U, V, I, and H) and narrowband (H{alpha}+[N II] and Pa{alpha}) images of the circumnuclear starburst rings in two nearby spiral galaxies, NGC 1512 and NGC 5248, obtained with the WFPC2 and NICMOS cameras on HST. Combined with previously published ultraviolet (UV) HST images at 2300{AA} these data provide a particularly wide wavelength range with which to study the properties of the stellar populations, the gas, and the dust in the rings.

- Multicolor photometry of A2255 galaxies

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present our optical multicolor photometry for the nearby cluster of galaxies A2255 with 13 intermediate filters in the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) system (see Cat. II/262), which cover an optical wavelength range from 3000 to 10000{AA}. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) in the optical band for more than 7000 sources are achieved down to V~20 in a field of 58'x58' entered on this rich cluster. A2255 has been observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) down to V~17.5 spectroscopically and r'~22.0 photometrically. A method of combining the SDSS photometric data in five broad bands and the BATC SEDs is then explored. A sample of 254 galaxies with known redshifts in the region of A2255 is constructed for testing the reliability of the method of combining SEDs. Our application of the technique of photometric redshift on this sample shows that the combined SEDs with higher resolution could lead to a more accurate estimate of photometric redshift. Based on 214 spectroscopically confirmed member galaxies, spatial and dynamical properties of this cluster are studied.

- Description:
- In this paper, we present photometry for young star clusters in M31, which are selected from Caldwell et al. These star clusters have been observed as part of the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) Multicolor Sky Survey from 1995 February to 2008 March. The BATC images including these star clusters are taken with 15 intermediate-band filters covering 3000-10000{AA}. Combined with photometry in the GALEX far- and near-ultraviolet, broadband UBV RI, SDSS ugriz, and infrared JHK_s_ of Two Micron All Sky Survey, we obtain their accurate spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from 1538 to 20000{AA}. We derive these star clusters' ages and masses by comparing their SEDs with stellar population synthesis models. Our results are in good agreement with previous determinations. The mean value of age and mass of young clusters (<2Gyr) is about 385Myr and 2x10^4^M_{sun}_, respectively. There are two distinct peaks in the age distribution, a highest peak at age ~60Myr and a secondary peak around 250Myr, while the mass distribution shows a single peak around 10^4^M_{sun}_. A few young star clusters have two-body relaxation times greater than their ages, indicating that those clusters have not been well dynamically relaxed and therefore have not established the thermal equilibrium. There are several regions showing aggregations of young star clusters around the 10kpc ring and the outer ring, indicating that the distribution of the young star clusters is well correlated with M31's star-forming regions. The young massive star clusters (age<=100Myr and mass>=10^4^M_{sun}_) show apparent concentration around the ring splitting region, suggesting a recent passage of a satellite galaxy (M32) through M31 disk.

- Description:
- We estimate the galaxy stellar mass function and stellar mass density for star-forming and quiescent galaxies with 0.2<z<4. We construct a large, deep sample of galaxies selected using the new UltraVISTA DR1 data release (Cat. J/A+A/544/A156). Our analysis is based on precise 30-band photometric redshifts. By comparing these photometric redshifts with 10800 spectroscopic redshifts from the zCOSMOS bright (Cat. J/ApJS/172/70) and faint (Lilly et al. in prep) surveys, we find an accuracy of sigma(dz/(1+z))=0.008 at i<22.5 and sigma(dz/(1+z))=0.03 at 1.5<z<4.

- Description:
- Optical polarization data in the UBVRI filter system for eight bright northern Be stars are presented here as the continuation of a long-term monitoring project begun in 1984. There are no strong cases of night-to-night variability, and the only star showing unmistakable changes in polarization from year to year over the nine years covered by the program is Pi Aquarii. Even though the observed sample spans a wide range in spectral type, vsini, and degree of intrinsic polarization, the normalized wavelength dependence of the polarization is surprisingly similar for all of the stars. Analysis of the wavelength dependence of the variable polarization of {pi} Aqr in terms of a simple equatorial-disk model suggests that changes in the circumstellar electron number density alone may be sufficient to account for the observations, but it is not clear what real physical mechanism is involved.
