Description:
We present the CIDAUCMYale (Centro de Investigaciones de Astronomia, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, and Yale University) Survey (CUYS) for H{alpha}+[NII] 6549, 6584{AA} emission-line galaxies (ELGs) using objective-prism spectra. The most important properties of a catalogue with 427 entries and significant subsets are analysed. The complete sample contains 183 statistically confirmed ELGs in a sky area of 151deg^2^ and redshift up to 0.14. We determine the parameters of the H{alpha} luminosity function using the H{alpha}+[NII] flux directly measured on the ELG spectra in this sample, and the star formation rate density derived is in agreement with values reported in the literature.

Description:
This paper completes the series of cataclysmic variables (CVs) identified from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) I/II. The coordinates, magnitudes, and spectra of 33 CVs are presented. Among the 33 are eight systems known prior to SDSS (CT Ser, DO Leo, HK Leo, IR Com, V849 Her, V405 Peg, PG1230+226, and HS0943+1404), as well as nine objects recently found through various photometric surveys. Among the systems identified since the SDSS are two polar candidates, two intermediate polar candidates, and one candidate for containing a pulsating white dwarf. Our follow-up data have confirmed a polar candidate from Paper VII and determined tentative periods for three of the newly identified CVs. A complete summary table of the 285 CVs with spectra from SDSS I/II is presented as well as a link to an online table of all known CVs from both photometry and spectroscopy that will continue to be updated as future data appear.

Cyanoacetylene (HC_3_N) infrared spectrum

Description:
HC_3_N is a ubiquitous molecule in interstellar environments, from external galaxies to Galactic interstellar clouds, star-forming regions, and planetary atmospheres. Observations of its rotational and vibrational transitions provide important information on the physical and chemical structures of the above environments. We present the most complete global analysis of the spectroscopic data of HC_3_N. We recorded the high-resolution infrared spectrum from 450 to 1350cm^-1^, a region dominated by the intense {nu}_5_ and {nu}_6_ fundamental bands, located at 660 and 500cm^-1^, respectively, and their associated hot bands. Pure rotational transitions in the ground and vibrationally excited states were recorded in the millimeter and submillimeter regions in order to extend the frequency range so far considered in previous investigations. All of the transitions from the literature and from this work involving energy levels lower than 1000cm^-1^ were fitted together to an effective Hamiltonian. Because of the presence of various anharmonic resonances, the Hamiltonian includes a number of interaction constants, in addition to the conventional rotational and vibrational l-type resonance terms. The data set contains about 3400 ro-vibrational lines of 13 bands and some 1500 pure rotational lines belonging to 12 vibrational states. More than 120 spectroscopic constants were determined directly from the fit, without any assumption deduced from theoretical calculations or comparisons with similar molecules. An extensive list of highly accurate rest frequencies was produced to assist astronomical searches and data interpretation. These improved data enabled a refined analysis of the ALMA observations toward Sgr B2(N2).

Cygnus OB2 O stars spectroscopic analysis

Description:
Cygnus OB2 provides a unique insight into the high-mass stellar content in one of the largest groups of young massive stars in our Galaxy. Although several studies of its massive population have been carried out over the last decades, an extensive spectroscopic study of the whole known O-star population in the association is still lacking. In this work, we created the most complete spectroscopic census of O stars carried out so far in Cygnus OB2 using already existing and new spectroscopy. We present the spectra for 78 O-type stars, from which we identify new binary systems, obtain the distribution of rotational velocities, and determine the main stellar parameters for all the stars in the region that have not been detected as double-line spectroscopic binaries. We also derive radii, luminosities, and masses for those stars with reliable Gaia astrometry, in addition to creating the Hertzsprung- Russell Diagram to interpret the evolutionary status of the association. This work has shown the improvement reached when using accurate spectroscopic parameters and astrometry for the interpretation of the evolutionary status of a population, revealing, in the case of Cygnus OB2, at least two star-forming bursts at ~3 and ~5Myr. We find an apparent deficit of very fast rotators in the distribution of rotational velocities. The inspection of the dynamical distribution of the sample has allowed us to identify nine O stars with peculiar proper motions and discuss a possible dynamical ejection scenario or past supernova explosions in the region.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present four epochs, A, B, C and D, of resolution ({lambda}/{delta}{lambda}) = 1200, 2.12 micron spectroscopy of the peculiar X-ray binary Cygnus X-3. About a half dozen spectra taken with resolution 900, and at 1.62 micron are also included. These data were obtained using the FSpec near-infrared spectrometer (Williams, D., Thompson, C.L., Rieke, G.H., Montgomery, E. 1993, Proc. SPIE 1308, 482) on the Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT). The MMT is located at an elevation of 2600 m at the top of Mt. Hopkins in southern Arizona and is jointly operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysics Observatory and the University of Arizona. The spectra are stored as ascii files, listing wavelength in Angstroms and relative flux. Each file contains a five line header, giving the UT, Heliocentric Julian date and phase of the X-ray system at the start of the integration, followed by the data points. Additional information about the spectra can be obtained in the paper.

CzeV404 Her light curves and spectra

Description:
We present a new study of the eclipsing cataclysmic variable CzeV404 Her (Porb=0.098d) located in the period gap. This report aims to determine the object's origin, system parameters and probe the system's accretion flow structure. We conducted simultaneous time-resolved photometric and spectroscopic observations of CzeV404 Her. We applied our light curve modeling techniques and the Doppler tomography method to determine the system parameters and analyse the structure of the accretion disk. We found that the system has a massive white dwarf M_WD_=1.00(2)M_{sun}_, a mass ratio of q=0.16, and a relatively hot secondary with an effective temperature T_2_=4100(50)K. The system inclination is 78{deg}. The accretion disk spreads out to the tidal limitation radius and has an extended hot spot/line region. The hot spot/line is hotter than the rest of the disk's outer part in quiescence or intermediate state but does not stand out completely from the disk flux in (super)outbursts. We claim that this object represents a link between two distinct classes of SU UMa-type and SW Sex-type cataclysmic variables. The accretion flow structure in the disk corresponds to the SW Sex systems, but the physical conditions inside the disk passed into behaviors of SU UMa-type objects.

Description:
We present the results of a survey of damped (DLA, logN(HI)>20.3) and sub-damped Lyman-{alpha} systems (19.5<logN(HI)<20.3) at z>2.55 along the lines-of-sight to 77 quasars with emission redshifts in the range 4<z_em_<6.3. Intermediate resolution (R~4300) spectra were obtained with the Echellette Spectrograph and Imager (ESI) mounted on the Keck telescope. A total of 100 systems with logN(HI)>19.5 were detected of which 40 systems are damped Lyman-{alpha} systems for an absorption length of {Delta}X= 378. About half of the lines of sight of this homogeneous survey have never been investigated for DLAs.
558. Dark dust and single-cloud sightlines in ISM

Title:
Dark dust and single-cloud sightlines in ISM
Short Name:
J/A+A/641/A35
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The precise characteristics of clouds and the nature of dust in the diffuse interstellar medium can only be extracted by inspecting the rare cases of single-cloud sightlines. In our nomenclature such objects are identified by interstellar lines, such as KI, that show at a resolving power of {lambda}{Delta}{lambda}~75000 one dominating Doppler component that accounts for more than half of the observed column density. We searched for such sightlines using high-resolution spectroscopy towards reddened OB stars for which far-UV extinction curves are known. We compiled a sample of 186 spectra, 100 of which were obtained specifically for this project with UVES. In our sample we identified 65 single-cloud sightlines, about half of which were previously unknown. We used the CH/CH^+^ line ratio of our targets to establish whether the sightlines are dominated by warm or cold clouds. We found that CN is detected in all cold (CH/CH^+^>1) clouds, but {is frequently absent} in warm clouds. We inspected the WISE (3-22um) observed emission morphology around our sightlines and excluded a circumstellar nature for the observed dust extinction. We found that most sightlines are dominated by cold clouds that are located far away from the heating source. For 132 stars, we derived the spectral type and the associated spectral type-luminosity distance. We also applied the interstellar CaII distance scale, and compared these two distance estimates with GAIA parallaxes. These distance estimates scatter by ~40%. By comparing spectral type-luminosity distances with those of GAIA, we detected a hidden dust component that amounts to a few mag of extinction for eight sightlines. This dark dust is populated by >~ 1um large grains and predominately appears in the field of the cold interstellar medium.

500days of ASASSN-18pg multiwavelength obs.
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present nearly 500 days of observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) ASASSN-18pg, spanning from 54 days before peak light to 441 days after peak light. Our data set includes X-ray, UV, and optical photometry, optical spectroscopy, radio observations, and the first published spectropolarimetric observations of a TDE. ASASSN-18pg was discovered on 2018 July 11 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) at a distance of d=78.6Mpc; with a peak UV magnitude of m~14, it is both one of the nearest and brightest TDEs discovered to-date. The photometric data allow us to track both the rise to peak and the long-term evolution of the TDE. ASASSN-18pg peaked at a luminosity of L~2.4x10^44^erg/s, and its late-time evolution is shallower than a flux {propto}t^-5/3^ power-law model, similar to what has been seen in other TDEs. ASASSN-18pg exhibited Balmer lines and spectroscopic features consistent with Bowen fluorescence prior to peak, which remained detectable for roughly 225days after peak. Analysis of the two-component H{alpha} profile indicates that, if they are the result of reprocessing of emission from the accretion disk, the different spectroscopic lines may be coming from regions between ~10 and ~60 lt-days from the black hole. No X-ray emission is detected from the TDE, and there is no evidence of a jet or strong outflow detected in the radio. Our spectropolarimetric observations indicate that the projected emission region is likely not significantly aspherical, with the projected emission region having an axis ratio of >~0.65.
