2921. Thorium and argon lines in the visible
ID:

Title:
Thorium and argon lines in the visible
Short Name:
J/A+A/468/1115
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a new list of thorium and argon emission lines in the visible obtained by analyzing high-resolution (R=110000) spectra of a ThAr hollow cathode lamp. The aim of this new line list is to allow significant improvements in the quality of wavelength calibration for medium- to high-resolution astronomical spectrographs. We use a series of ThAr lamp exposures obtained with the HARPS instrument (High Accuracy Radial-velocity Planet Searcher) to detect previously unknown lines, perform a systematic search for blended lines and correct individual wavelengths by determining the systematic offset of each line relative to the average wavelength solution.
2922. Thorium spectrum from 250nm to 5500nm

Thorium spectrum from 250nm to 5500nm

Description:
We have made precise observations of a thorium-argon hollow cathode lamp emission spectrum in the region between 350nm and 1175nm using a high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer. Our measurements are combined with results from seven previously published thorium line lists to re-optimize the energy levels of neutral, singly, and doubly ionized thorium (Th I, Th II, and Th III). Using the optimized level values, we calculate accurate Ritz wavelengths for 19874 thorium lines between 250nm and 5500nm (40000/cm to 1800/cm). We have also found 102 new thorium energy levels. A systematic analysis of previous measurements in light of our new results allows us to identify and propose corrections for systematic errors in Palmer & Engleman (1983ats..book.....P) and typographical errors and incorrect classifications in Kerber et al. (2008ApJS..178..374K). We also found a large scatter with respect to the thorium line list of Lovis & Pepe (Cat. J/A+A/468/1115). We anticipate that our Ritz wavelengths will lead to improved measurement accuracy for current and future spectrographs that make use of thorium-argon or thorium-neon lamps as calibration standards.
2923. 05 through L3 empirical stellar spectra from SDSS

Title:
05 through L3 empirical stellar spectra from SDSS
Short Name:
J/ApJS/230/16
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a library of empirical stellar spectra created using spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey's Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. The templates cover spectral types O5 through L3, are binned by metallicity from -2.0dex through +1.0dex, and are separated into main-sequence (dwarf) stars and giant stars. With recently developed M dwarf metallicity indicators, we are able to extend the metallicity bins down through the spectral subtype M8, making this the first empirical library with this degree of temperature and metallicity coverage. The wavelength coverage for the templates is from 3650 to 10200{AA} at a resolution of better than R~2000. Using the templates, we identify trends in color space with metallicity and surface gravity, which will be useful for analyzing large data sets from upcoming missions like the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope. Along with the templates, we are releasing a code for automatically (and/or visually) identifying the spectral type and metallicity of a star.
2924. TiII in Milky way and Magellanic clouds

Title:
TiII in Milky way and Magellanic clouds
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/404/1321
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We discuss several sets of TiII absorption-line data, which probe a variety of interstellar environments in our Galaxy and in the Magellanic Clouds. Comparisons of high-resolution [full width at half-maximum (FWHM)~1.3-1.5km/s] TiII spectra of Galactic targets with corresponding high-resolution spectra of NaI, KI and CaII reveal both similarities and differences in the detailed structure of the absorption-line profiles - reflecting component-to-component differences in the ionization and depletion behaviour of those species. Moderate-resolution (FWHM~3.4-4.5km/s) spectra of more heavily reddened Galactic stars provide more extensive information on the titanium depletion in colder, denser clouds - where more than 99.9 per cent of the Ti may be in the dust phase. Moderate-resolution (FWHM~4.5-8.7km/s) spectra of stars in the Magellanic Clouds suggest that the titanium depletion is generally much less severe in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds than in our Galaxy [for a given N(Htot), E(B-V), or molecular fraction f(H2)]- providing additional evidence for differences in depletion patterns in those two lower-metallicity galaxies. We briefly discuss possible implications of these results for the interpretation of gas-phase abundances in quasi-stellar object absorption-line systems and of variations in the D/H ratio in the local Galactic interstellar medium.
2925. Ti line list for the Lick hallow-cathode lamp

Title:
Ti line list for the Lick hallow-cathode lamp
Short Name:
J/AJ/146/97
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the wavelength calibration of the Hamilton echelle spectrograph (the Lick observatory). The main problem of the calibration arises from the fact that thorium lines are absent in the spectrum of ThAr hollow-cathode lamp now under the operation. On the other hand, numerous unknown strong lines are present in the spectrum. These lines was identified with titanium. We estimate the temperature of the lamp gas which permits us to calculate the intensities of the lines, and to select a large number of relevant TiI and TiII lines. The titanium line list for the Lick hallow-cathode lamp is presented. The wavelength calibration using this line list was made with accuracy about 0.006{AA}.

Title:
Tohoku-Hiroshima-Nagoya planetary spectra library
Short Name:
J/A+A/507/1649
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
A comprehensive framework for comparing spectral data from different planets has yet to be established. This framework is needed for the study of extrasolar planets and objects within the solar system. We completed observations to compile a library of planet spectra for all planets, some moons, and some dwarf planets in the solar system to study their general spectroscopic and photometric natures. During May and November of 2008, we acquired spectra for the planets using TRISPEC, which is capable of simultaneous three-band spectroscopy across a wide wavelength range of 0.45-2.5um with low resolving power ({lambda}{Delta}{lambda}~140-360).

Title:
2007.5 to 2010.4 HST astrometry of HD 202206
Short Name:
J/AJ/153/258
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Using Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor astrometry and previously published radial velocity measures, we explore the exoplanetary system HD202206. Our modeling results in a parallax, {pi}_abs_=21.96+/-0.12 milliseconds of arc, a mass for HD202206B of M_B_=0.089_-0.006_^+0.007M_{Sun}_, and a mass for HD202206c of M_c_=17.9_-1.8_^+2.9^M_Jup_. HD202206 is a nearly face-on G + M binary orbited by a brown dwarf. The system architecture that we determine supports past assertions that stability requires a 5:1 mean motion resonance (we find a period ratio, P_c_/P_B_=4.92+/-0.04) and coplanarity (we find a mutual inclination, {Phi}=6{deg}+/-2{deg}).
2930. TOI-269 b light curves
ID:

Title:
TOI-269 b light curves
Short Name:
J/A+A/650/A145
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the confirmation of a new sub-Neptune close to the transition between Super-Earths and sub-Neptunes transiting the M2 dwarf TOI-269. The exoplanet candidate is identified in multiple TESS sectors and is validated with high-precision spectroscopy from HARPS and ground-based photometric follow-up from ExTrA and LCO-CTIO. We determine mass, radius and bulk density of the exoplanet by jointly modeling both photometry and radial velocities with juliet. The transiting exoplanet has an orbital period of P=3.7 days, a radius of 2.77+/-0.12R_{Earth}_, and a mass of 8.8+/-1.4M_{Earth}_. Since TOI-269 b lies among the best targets of its category for atmospheric characterization, it would be interesting to probe the atmosphere of this exoplanet with transmission spectroscopy in order to compare it to other sub-Neptunes. With an eccentricity e=0.425^+0.082^_-0.086_, TOI-269 b has one of the highest eccentricity among exoplanets with periods less than 10 days. The star being likely a few Gyr old, this system does not appear to be dynamically young. We surmise TOI-269 b may have acquired a high eccentricity as it migrated inward through planet-planet interactions.
