- Description:
- We present physical properties [redshifts (z), star-formation rates (SFRs) and stellar masses (M*)] of bright (S_850_>=4mJy) submm galaxies in the ~=2deg^2^ COSMOS and UDS fields selected with SCUBA-2/JCMT. We complete the galaxy identification process for all (~=2000) S/N>=3.5 850-{mu}m sources, but focus our scientific analysis on a high-quality subsample of 651 S/N>=4 sources with complete multiwavelength coverage including 1.1-mm imaging. We check the reliability of our identifications, and the robustness of the SCUBA-2 fluxes by revisiting the recent ALMA follow-up of 29 sources in our sample. Considering >4mJy ALMA sources, our identification method has a completeness of ~=86 per cent with a reliability of ~=92 per cent, and only ~=15-20 per cent of sources are significantly affected by multiplicity (when a secondary component contributes >1/3 of the primary source flux). The impact of source blending on the 850-{mu}m source counts as determined with SCUBA-2 is modest; scaling the single-dish fluxes by ~=0.9 reproduces the ALMA source counts. For our final SCUBA-2 sample, we find median z=2.40^+0.10^_-0.04_, SFR=287+/-6M_{sun}_/yr and log(M*/M_{sun)_=11.12+/-0.02 (the latter for 349/651 sources with optical identifications). These properties clearly locate bright submm galaxies on the high-mass end of the 'main sequence' of star-forming galaxies out to z~= 6, suggesting that major mergers are not a dominant driver of the high-redshift submm-selected population. Their number densities are also consistent with the evolving galaxy stellar mass function. Hence, the submm galaxy population is as expected, albeit reproducing the evolution of the main sequence of star-forming galaxies remains a challenge for theoretical models/simulations.

- Description:
- We present HI observations of the jellyfish galaxy, JO201, a massive galaxy falling along the line-of-sight towards the centre of a rich cluster, A85 at a high velocity. Its H{alpha} emission shows a ~40kpc tail confined closely to its stellar disc and a ~100kpc tail extending further out. We find HI emission coinciding only with the shorter clumpy H{alpha} tail while no HI emission is detected along the ~100kpc Ha tail. In total, we measure an HI mass of M_HI_=1.65x10^+9^M_{sun}_, which is about 60% lower than expected based on its stellar mass and stellar surface density. We compared JO201 to another jellyfish in the GASP sample, JO206, and find that they are similarly HI-deficient. The global star formation rate (SFR) analysis of JO201 suggests that its observed SFR would be expected if it had 10x its current HI mass. The disc is the main contributor of the high star formation efficiency at a given HI gas density for both galaxies, but their tails also show higher star formation efficiencies compared to the outer regions of field galaxies. Generally, we find that JO201 and JO206 are similar based on their HI content, stellar mass and star formation rate. This finding is unexpected considering their different environments. A toy model comparing the ram pressure of the ICM versus the restoring forces of these galaxies suggests that the ram pressure strength exerted on them could be comparable if we consider their 3D orbital velocities and radial distances relative to the clusters.

- Jet collimation in NGC 315
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/647/A67

- Description:
- The collimation of relativistic jets in galaxies is a poorly understood process. Detailed radio studies of the jet collimation region have been performed so far in a few individual objects, providing important constraints for jet formation models. However, the extent of the collimation zone as well as the nature of the external medium possibly confining the jet are still debated. In this article, we present a multifrequency and multiscale analysis of the radio galaxy NGC 315, including the use of mm-VLBI data up to 86GHz, aimed at revealing the evolution of the jet collimation profile. We then consider results from the literature to compare the jet expansion profile in a sample of 27 low-redshift sources, mainly comprising radio galaxies and BL Lacs, which were classified based on the accretion properties as low-excitation (LEG) and high-excitation (HEG) galaxies. We propose that the jet collimation in NGC 315 is completed on sub-parsec scales. A transition from a parabolic to conical jet shape is detected at z_t_=0.58+/-0.28-parsecs or ~5x10^3& Schwarzschild radii (Rs) from the central engine, a distance which is much smaller than the Bondi radius, rB~92pc, estimated based on X-ray data. The jet in this and in a few other LEG in our sample may be initially confined by a thick disk extending out to ~10^3^-10^4^R_{sun}_. A comparison between the mass-scaled jet expansion profiles of all sources indicates that jets in HEG are surrounded by thicker disk-launched sheaths and collimate on larger scales with respect to jets in LEG. These results suggest that disk winds play an important role in the jet collimation mechanism, particularly in high-luminosity sources. The impact of winds on the origin of the FRI and FRII dichotomy in radio galaxies is also discussed.

- Jet kinematics of blazars at 43GHz with the VLBA
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/846/98
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We analyze the parsec-scale jet kinematics from 2007 June to 2013 January of a sample of {gamma}-ray bright blazars monitored roughly monthly with the Very Long Baseline Array at 43GHz. In a total of 1929 images, we measure apparent speeds of 252 emission knots in 21 quasars, 12 BL Lacertae objects (BLLacs), and 3 radio galaxies, ranging from 0.02c to 78c; 21% of the knots are quasi-stationary. Approximately one-third of the moving knots execute non-ballistic motions, with the quasars exhibiting acceleration along the jet within 5pc (projected) of the core, and knots in BLLacs tending to decelerate near the core. Using the apparent speeds of the components and the timescales of variability from their light curves, we derive the physical parameters of 120 superluminal knots, including variability Doppler factors, Lorentz factors, and viewing angles. We estimate the half-opening angle of each jet based on the projected opening angle and scatter of intrinsic viewing angles of knots. We determine characteristic values of the physical parameters for each jet and active galactic nucleus class based on the range of values obtained for individual features. We calculate the intrinsic brightness temperatures of the cores, T_b,int_^core^, at all epochs, finding that the radio galaxies usually maintain equipartition conditions in the cores, while ~30% of T_b,int_^core^ measurements in the quasars and BLLacs deviate from equipartition values by a factor >10. This probably occurs during transient events connected with active states.

- Description:
- The composition and energy dissipation in jets are two of the fundamental questions of jet physics that are not fully understood. In this paper, we attempt to constrain the composition, magnetization, and radiative efficiency for blazars with the recently released low-frequency radio catalog of the TIFR GMRT Sky Survey at 150MHz. The jet power estimated from the low-frequency radio emission is much lower than that derived from spectral energy distribution fitting assuming one proton per electron. Assuming the jet power estimated from low-frequency radio emission is physical, the fraction of electron/positron pairs can be constrained with n_pairs_/n_p_~10. By comparing the power carried by the magnetic field and radiation with the jet power estimated from the low-frequency radio emission, we find both the relatively high magnetization parameter of {sigma}~0.5 and the radiative efficiency of {eta}~0.4 in the dissipation region of blazars. These results suggest that magnetic reconnection processes may play an important role in the energy dissipation of blazars. We also explore the connection between these three parameters (n_pairs_/n_p_, {sigma}, and {eta}) and the black hole mass, disk luminosity, and Eddington ratio. No significant correlation is found, except that {sigma} shows a possible correlation with disk luminosity.

- Description:
- We present J H K L M photometry for 25 Carbon stars, and 450, 600, 800 and 1100 {mu}m for 12 carbon stars and the S-star W Aql. Carbon stars reside on a different part of the [12-25], [K-L] diagram than O-rich stars. Our work confirms earlier observations and shows this relation to hold up at least [K-L] ~ 8mag.

- Description:
- We present a multi-epoch infrared photometric study of the intermediate-mass star-forming region G173.58+2.45. Photometric observations are obtained using the near-infrared JHKL'M' filters and narrow-band filters centred at the wavelengths of the H_2_(1-0)S(1)(2.122um) and [FeII](1.644um) lines. The H2 image shows molecular emission from shocked gas, implying the presence of multiple star formation and associated outflow activity. We see evidence for several collimated outflows.

- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We have observed the massive star-forming region IRAS 18507+0121 at millimeter wavelengths in 3mm continuum emission, H^13^CO+ (J=1-0) and SiO (v=0,J=2-1) line emission, and at near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths between 1.2 and 2.1{mu}m. Two compact molecular cores are detected: one north and one south, separated by ~40". The northern molecular core contains a newly discovered, deeply embedded, B2 protostar surrounded by several hundred solar masses of warm gas and dust, G34.4+0.23 MM. Based on the presence of warm dust emission and the lack of detection at NIR wavelengths, we suggest that G34.4+0.23 MM may represent the relatively rare discovery of a massive protostar (e.g., analogous to a low-mass "Class 0" protostar). The southern molecular core is associated with an NIR cluster of young stars and an ultracompact HII region, G34.4+0.23, with a central B0.5 star. The fraction of NIR stars with excess infrared emission indicative of circumstellar material is greater than 50%, which suggests an upper limit on the age of the IRAS 18507+0121 star-forming region of 3Myr.

- Description:
- We present the selection of the Jodrell Bank Flat-spectrum (JBF) radio source sample, which is designed to reduce the uncertainties in the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) gravitational lensing statistics arising from the lack of knowledge about the parent population luminosity function. From observations at 4.86GHz with the Very Large Array, we have selected a sample of 117 flat-spectrum radio sources with flux densities greater than 5mJy. These sources were selected in a similar manner to the CLASS complete sample and are therefore representative of the parent population at low flux densities. The vast majority (~90 per cent) of the JBF sample are found to be compact on the arcsec scales probed here and show little evidence of any extended radio jet emission. Using the JBF and CLASS complete samples, we find the differential number counts slope of the parent population above and below the CLASS 30-mJy flux density limit to be 2.07+/-0.02 and 1.96+/-0.12, respectively.

- Jupiter decametric radio emissions over 26 years

- Description:
- Jupiter is a complex and at the same time very powerful radio source in the decameter wavelength range. The emission is anisotropic, intrinsically variable at millisecond to hour timescales, and also modulated by various external processes at much longer periods, ranging from ~10h to months or years (including Jovian day and year, solar activity and solar wind variations, and for ground-based observations, terrestrial day and year). As a consequence, long-term observations and their statistical study have proved to be necessary for disentangling and understanding the observed phenomena. We have built a database from the available 26yr of systematic, daily observations conducted at the Nancay Decameter Array and recorded in digital format. This database contains all observed Jovian decametric emissions, classified with respect to the time-frequency morphology, their dominant circular polarization, and maximum frequency. We present the results of the first statistical analysis of this database. We confirm the earlier classification of Jovian decameter emissions in Io-A, -A', -B, -C, -D and non-Io-A, -B, -C types, but we also introduce new emission types (Io-A'' and Io-B') and precise and characterize the non-Io-D type. We determine the contours of all emission types in the CML-{Phi}_Io_ plane (Central Meridian Longitude in Jupiter's System III coordinates versus Io Phase), provide representative examples of their typical time-frequency patterns, and the distribution of emission's maximum frequency as a function of {LAMBDA}_Io_ (Io's Longitude). Finally, we present a statistical analysis of the distributions of the occurrence rate, duration, intensity and polarization for each emission type. non-Io-DAM appears to be related to small-scale, possibly bursty auroral structures.
