- 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.

- Catalog of clusters of galaxies from SDSS

- Description:
- We present a catalog of 799 clusters of galaxies in the redshift range z_est_=0.05-0.3 selected from ~400deg^2^ of early Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) commissioning data along the celestial equator. The catalog is based on merging two independent selection methods - a color-magnitude red-sequence maxBCG technique (B), and a hybrid matched filter method (H). The BH catalog includes clusters with richness {Lambda}>=40 (matched filter) and Ngal>=13 (maxBCG), corresponding to typical velocity dispersion of {sigma}_v_>~400km/s and mass (within 0.6h^-1^Mpc radius) >~5x10^13^h^-1^M_{sun}_. This threshold is below Abell richness class 0 clusters. The average space density of these clusters is 2x10^-5^h^3^/Mpc^3^. All NORAS (<J/ApJS/129/435>) X-ray clusters and 53 of the 58 Abell clusters in the survey region are detected in the catalog; the five additional Abell clusters are detected below the BH catalog cuts. The cluster richness function is determined and found to exhibit a steeply decreasing cluster abundance with increasing richness. We derive observational scaling relations between cluster richness and observed cluster luminosity and cluster velocity dispersion; these scaling relations provide important physical calibrations for the clusters. The catalog can be used for studies of individual clusters, for comparisons with other sources such as X-ray clusters and active galactic nuclei, and, with proper correction for the relevant selection functions, also for statistical analyses of clusters.

- Description:
- Using a large sample of galaxies from the the seventh data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-DR7), we have analyzed the alignment of disk galaxies around cosmic voids. We have constructed a complete sample of cosmic voids (devoid of galaxies brighter than M_r_-5log h=-20.17) with radii larger than 10h^-1^Mpc up to redshift 0.12. Disk galaxies in shells around these voids have been used to look for particular alignments between the angular momentum of the galaxies and the radial direction of the voids. We find that disk galaxies around voids larger than >~15h^-1^Mpc within distances not much larger than 5h^-1^Mpc from the surface of the voids present a significant tendency to have their angular momenta aligned with the void's radial direction with a significance >~98.8% against the null hypothesis. The strength of this alignment is dependent on the void's radius and for voids with a radius >~15h^-1^Mpc the distribution of the orientation of the galaxies is compatible with a random distribution. Finally, we find that this trend observed in the alignment of galaxies is similar to the one observed for the minor axis of dark matter halos around cosmic voids found in cosmological simulations, suggesting a possible link in the evolution of both components.

- Description:
- In this paper we present an objectively defined catalog of 459 small, high-density groups of galaxies out to z~0.2 in a region of ~6260deg^2^ in the northern sky derived from the Digitized Second Palomar Observatory Sky Survey. Our catalog extends down to r=19.0 and has a median redshift of z_med_=0.12, making it complementary to Hickson's catalog (Cat. <VII/213>) for the nearby universe (z_med_=0.03).

- Description:
- We have compiled a catalog of disk galaxies that have a double nucleus, through systematic examination of existing catalogs and publications. The Catalog of Double Nucleus Disk Galaxies includes 107 objects, together with their basic data. The aim of the catalog is to provide a more systematic and homogeneous basis for the study of the relevance of galaxy interactions and minor mergers in the formation of these double nuclei. We have also investigated possible correlations between geometric and photometric parameters of the double nuclei and their host galaxies. The preliminary results indicate the presence of several significant correlations that should be considered in any theoretical scenario describing minor mergers and disk galaxy evolution

- Catalog of galaxy groups from DEEP2 Redshift Survey
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/751/50
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a public catalog of galaxy groups constructed from the spectroscopic sample of galaxies in the fourth data release from the Deep Extragalactic Evolutionary Probe 2 (DEEP2) Galaxy Redshift Survey, including the Extended Groth Strip (EGS). The catalog contains 1165 groups with two or more members in the EGS over the redshift range 0<z<1.5 and 1295 groups at z>0.6 in the rest of DEEP2. 25% of EGS galaxies and 14% of high-z DEEP2 galaxies are assigned to galaxy groups. The groups were detected using the Voronoi-Delaunay method (VDM) after it has been optimized on mock DEEP2 catalogs following similar methods to those employed in Gerke et al (2005, J/ApJ/625/6). In the optimization effort, we have taken particular care to ensure that the mock catalogs resemble the data as closely as possible, and we have fine-tuned our methods separately on mocks constructed for the EGS and the rest of DEEP2. We have also probed the effect of the assumed cosmology on our inferred group-finding efficiency by performing our optimization on three different mock catalogs with different background cosmologies, finding large differences in the group-finding success we can achieve for these different mocks. Using the mock catalog whose background cosmology is most consistent with current data, we estimate that the DEEP2 group catalog is 72% complete and 61% pure (74% and 67% for the EGS) and that the group finder correctly classifies 70% of galaxies that truly belong to groups, with an additional 46% of interloper galaxies contaminating the catalog (66% and 43% for the EGS). We also confirm that the VDM catalog reconstructs the abundance of galaxy groups with velocity dispersions above ~300 km/s to an accuracy better than the sample variance, and this successful reconstruction is not strongly dependent on cosmology.

- Catalog of galaxy morphology in four clusters
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/157/228
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of four rich, X-ray-luminous, galaxy clusters (0.33<z<0.83) is used to produce quantitative morphological measurements for galaxies in their fields. Catalogs of these measurements are presented for 1642 galaxies brighter than F814W(AB)=23.0. Galaxy luminosity profiles are fitted with three models: exponential disk, de Vaucouleurs bulge, and a disk-plus-bulge hybrid model. The best fit is selected and produces a quantitative assessment of the morphology of each galaxy: the principal parameters derived being B/T, the ratio of bulge to total luminosity, the scale lengths and half-light radii, axial ratios, position angles, and surface brightnesses of each component. Cluster membership is determined using a statistical correction for field galaxy contamination, and a mass normalization factor (mass within boundaries of the observed fields) is derived for each cluster. Morphological classes are defined using B/T: disk galaxies have 0<=B/T<=0.4, intermediate galaxies 0.4<B/T<0.8, and bulge-dominated galaxies have 0.8<=B/T<=1.

- Catalog of giant radio sources known to date
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a catalog of 349 giant radio sources (GRSs including both galaxies and quasars). The database contains all giants known to date from the literature. These GRSs cover the redshift range of 0.016<z<3.22 and include radio sources of projected linear sizes larger than 0.7Mpc, which extend up to 4.7Mpc. We provide the principal parameters (i.e., exact position of the host in the sky, redshift, angular and projected linear size, red optical magnitude, radio morphology type, total radio flux density, and luminosity) for all the sources, as well as characteristics of the sample. Based on the distribution of GRSs in the sky, we identify regions where there is a paucity of giants, so that future surveys for this type of objects could concentrate primarily in these fields. From the analysis presented here, we estimate a lower limit for the expected number of GRSs as about 2000, for the resolution and sensitivity limits of FIRST, NRAO VLA Sky Survey and Sloan Digital Sky Survey surveys. Compared with earlier compilations, there is a significant increase in the number of large giants with sizes >2Mpc, as well as those at high redshifts with z>1. We discuss aspects of their evolution and suggest that these are consistent with evolutionary models.

- Catalog of Ly{alpha} emitters
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/473/30
- Date:

- Description:
- We present a measurement of the fraction of Lyman {alpha} (Ly{alpha}) emitters (X_Ly{alpha}_) amongst HST continuum-selected galaxies at 3<z<6 with the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the VLT. Making use of the first 24 MUSE-Wide pointings in GOODS-South, each having an integration time of 1h, we detect 100Ly{alpha} emitters and find X_Ly{alpha}_>~0.5 for most of the redshift range covered, with 29 per cent of the Ly{alpha} sample exhibiting rest equivalent widths (rest-EWs)<=15{AA}. Adopting a range of rest-EW cuts (0~75{AA}), we find no evidence of a dependence of XLy{alpha} on either redshift or ultraviolet luminosity.

- Catalog of member galaxies in A2319
- Short Name:
- J/AJ/147/106
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Asymmetric X-ray emission and a powerful cluster-scale radio halo indicate that A2319 is a merging cluster of galaxies. This paper presents our multicolor photometry for A2319 with 15 optical intermediate filters in the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) system. There are 142 galaxies with known spectroscopic redshifts within the viewing field of 58'x58' centered on this rich cluster, including 128 member galaxies (called sample I). A large velocity dispersion in the rest frame, 1622_-70_^+91^km/s, suggests merger dynamics in A2319. The contour map of projected density and localized velocity structure confirm the so-called A2319B substructure, at ~10' northwest to the main concentration A2319A. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of more than 30000 sources are obtained in our BATC photometry down to V~20mag. A u-band (~3551{AA}) image with better seeing and spatial resolution, obtained with the Bok 2.3m telescope at Kitt Peak, is taken to make star-galaxy separation and distinguish the overlapping contamination in the BATC aperture photometry. With color-color diagrams and photometric redshift technique, 233 galaxies brighter than h_BATC_=19.0 are newly selected as member candidates after an exclusion of false candidates with contaminated BATC SEDs by eyeball-checking the u-band Bok image. The early-type galaxies are found to follow a tight color-magnitude correlation. Based on sample I and the enlarged sample of member galaxies (called sample II), subcluster A2319B is confirmed. The star formation properties of cluster galaxies are derived with the evolutionary synthesis model, PEGASE, assuming a Salpeter initial mass function and an exponentially decreasing star formation rate (SFR). A strong environmental effect on star formation histories is found in the manner that galaxies in the sparse regions have various star formation histories, while galaxies in the dense regions are found to have shorter SFR time scales, older stellar ages, and higher interstellar medium metallicities. For the merging cluster A2319, local surface density is a better environmental indicator rather than the cluster-centric distance. Compared with the well-relaxed cluster A2589, a higher fraction of star-forming galaxies is found in A2319, indicating that the galaxy-scale turbulence stimulated by the subcluster merger might have played a role in triggering the star formation activity.
