Dust models & IR spectroscopy obs. of AGB stars

Description:
Many emission features remain unidentified in the infrared spectra of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. In particular, features at ~11, 20, 28, and 32{mu}m have been noted in mid-infrared spectra of oxygen-rich AGB stars. Here, I present models of dust excess emission in 36 spectra of 24 AGB stars from the Short Wavelength Spectrometer on board the Infrared Space Observatory and the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The models include opacities of grains composed of mixtures of various polymorphs of alumina obtained by preparing bayerite and boehmite at high temperatures, and these dust components provide satisfactory fits to the 11, 20, 28, and 32{mu}m features. Though not a direct conclusion from this study, the presence of grains of the various polymorphs of aluminas in circumstellar dust shells around AGB stars suggests that corundum may have a role in giving rise to the 13{mu}m feature.

DustPedia metallicities and HI masses

Description:
Observations of evolution in the dust-to-metal ratio allow to constrain the dominant dust processing mechanisms. In this work, we present a study of the dust-to-metal and dust-to-gas ratios in a subsample of ~500 DustPedia galaxies. Using literature and MUSE emission line fluxes, we derive gas-phase metallicities (oxygen abundances) for over 10000 individual regions and determine characteristic metallicities for each galaxy. We study how the relative dust, gas and metal contents of galaxies evolve by using metallicity and gas fraction as proxies for evolutionary state. The global oxygen abundance and nitrogen-to-oxygen ratio are found to increase monotonically as galaxies evolve. Additionally, unevolved galaxies (gas fraction >60%, metallicity 12+log(O/H)<8.2) have dust-to-metal ratios that are about a factor of 2.1 lower (factor of 6 lower for galaxies with gas fraction >80%) than the typical dust-to-metal ratio (Md/MZ~0.214) for more evolved sources. However, for high gas fractions, the scatter is larger due to larger observational uncertainties as well as a potential dependence of the dust grain growth timescale and supernova dust yield on local conditions and star formation histories. We find chemical evolution models with a strong contribution from dust grain growth describe these observations reasonably well. The dust-to-metal ratio is also found to be lower for low stellar masses and high specific star formation rates (with the exception of some sources undergoing a starburst). Finally, the metallicity gradient correlates weakly with the HI-to-stellar mass ratio, the effective radius and the dust-to-stellar mass ratio, but not with stellar mass.

Description:
We present results of nearly simultaneous monitoring of uvby light and HeI667.81nm line-profile variations of the equatorial Be star DX Eri in November 1991. They are analysed along with numerous uvby photometry in the period 1986-1995.
634. Dynamical masses of z~2 quiescent galaxies

Title:
Dynamical masses of z~2 quiescent galaxies
Short Name:
J/ApJ/771/85
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Using stellar kinematics measurements, we investigate the growth of massive, quiescent galaxies from z~2 to today. We present X-Shooter spectra from the UV to NIR and dynamical mass measurements of five quiescent massive (>10^11^M_{sun}_) galaxies at z~2. This triples the sample of z>1.5 galaxies with well-constrained ({delta}{sigma}<100km/s) velocity dispersion measurements. From spectral population synthesis modeling we find that these galaxies have stellar ages that range from 0.5 to 2Gyr, with no signs of ongoing star formation. We measure velocity dispersions (290-450km/s) from stellar absorption lines and find that they are 1.6-2.1 times higher than those of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey at the same mass. Sizes are measured using GALFIT from Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 H_160_ and UDS K-band images. The dynamical masses correspond well to the spectral energy distribution based stellar masses, with dynamical masses that are ~15% higher.

Title:
Dynamical modelling of 4 early-type galaxies
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/363/769
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We analyse long-slit spectra of four early-type galaxies which extend from ~1 to 3 effective radii: IC 1459; IC 3370; NGC 3379 and NGC 4105. We have extracted the full line-of-sight velocity distribution (in the case of NGC 3379 we also used data from the literature), which we model using the two-integral approach. Using two-integral modelling, we find no strong evidence for dark haloes, but the fits suggest that three-integral modelling is necessary. We also find that the inferred constant mass-to-light ratio in all the four cases is typical for early-type galaxies. Finally, we also discuss the constraints on the mass-to-light ratio, which can be obtained using X-ray haloes in the case of IC 1459, NGC 3379 and NGC 4105, and compare the estimated values with the predictions from the dynamical modelling.

Title:
Dynamics in E+E pairs of galaxies
Short Name:

Description:
We present a kinematic study of three E+E galaxy pairs, NGC 741/742, 1587/1588 (CPG 99) and 2672/2673 (CPG 175). All three pairs show a similar morphological distortion (i.e. the off-centering of inner versus outer isophotes; Davoust & Prugniel 1988) which is ascribed to the ongoing interaction. The data was obtained at the CFHT equipped with the Herzberg Spectrograph at a resolution of 0.88 Apx^-1^. NGC 741 and 2673 show significant rotation along the apparent minor axis. Both components of CPG 99 rotate very fast (with no evidence for rotation along the minor axis of either component). None of the galaxies show abnormally high central velocity dispersion. We report some of the first clear detections of well defined velocity dispersion curves for interacting pairs. They show a systematic decrease with distance from the center, as expected for normal ellipticals. They do not show obvious heating in the outer parts as was previously reported. NGC 741 and 2672 show, respectively, possible U and inverse U-shaped structure in their velocity profiles.

Dynamics of A3266. I. An Optical View.
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present spectroscopy of 880 galaxies within a 2-degree field around the massive, merging cluster Abell 3266. This sample, which includes 704 new measurements, was combined with the existing redshifts measurements to generate a sample of over 1300 spectroscopic redshifts; the largest spectroscopic sample in the vicinity of A3266 to date. We define a cluster sub-sample of 790 redshifts which lie within a velocity range of 14000 to 22000km/s and within 1 degree of the cluster centre. A detailed structural analysis finds A3266 to have a complex dynamical structure containing six groups and filaments to the north of the cluster as well as a cluster core which can be decomposed into two components split along a northeast-southwest axis, consistent with previous X-ray observations. The mean redshift of the cluster core is found to be 0.0594+/-0.0005 and the core velocity dispersion is given as 1462+/-99km/s. The overall velocity dispersion and redshift of the entire cluster and related structures are 1337+/-67 km/s and 0.0596+/-0.0002, respectively, though the high velocity dispersion does not represent virialised motions but rather is due to relative motions of the cluster components. We posit A3266 is seen following a merger along the northeast southwest axis, however, the rich substructure in the rest of the cluster suggests that the dynamical history is more complex than just a simple merger with a range of continuous dynamical interactions taking place. It is thus likely that turbulence in A3266 is very high, even for a merging cluster.
638. Early light curve of SN 2013gy

Title:
Early light curve of SN 2013gy
Short Name:
J/A+A/627/A174
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present an early-phase g-band light curve and visual-wavelength spectra of the normal Type Ia supernova (SN) 2013gy. The light curve is constructed by determining the appropriate S-corrections to transform KAIT natural-system B- and V-band photometry and Carnegie Supernova Project natural-system g-band photometry to the Pan-STARRS1 g-band natural photometric system. A Markov chain Monte Carlo calculation provides a best-fit single power-law function to the first ten epochs of photometry described by an exponent of 2.16^+0.06^_0.06_ and a time of first light of MJD 56629.4^+0.1^_0.1_, which is 1.93^+0.12^_0.13_ days (i.e., <48hr) before the discovery date (2013 December 4.84 UT) and -19.10^+0.12^_0.13_ days before the time of B-band maximum (MJD 56648.50.1). The estimate of the time of first light is consistent with the explosion time inferred from the evolution of the SiII 6355 Doppler velocity. Furthermore, discovery photometry and previous nondetection limits enable us to constrain the companion radius down to Rc<=4R_{sun}_. In addition to our early-time constraints, we used a deep +235 day nebular-phase spectrum from Magellan/IMACS to place a stripped H-mass limit of <0.018M_{sun}_. Combined, these limits effectively rule out H-rich nondegenerate companions.

Title:
Early-Tyoe Galaxies in SDSS and GALEX
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/444/2571
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We use the Hernandez-Perez and Bruzual stellar population synthesis models to study the role of interacting binary pairs as progenitors of extreme horizontal branch (EHB) stars. We assemble a sample of 3417 early-type galaxies observed both in the optical (SDSS-DR8) and the UV (GALEX-GR6). The galaxies in our sample can be classified according to their position in the colour-colour diagram as UV-weak or red-sequence galaxies (~48%), UV-strong or UVX galaxies (~9%), and recent star-forming galaxies (~43%). Analysing this sample using the models for various choices of basic model parameters, we conclude that (a) the UVr colours of UV-weak and UV-strong galaxies are reproduced by the models as long as the fraction of binary stars is at least 15%. (b) Higher metallicity models (Z=0.02 and 0.03) reproduce the colours of UV-weak and UV-strong galaxies better than lower Z models. The Z=0.03 model is slightly bluer than the Z=0.02 model in the UV-strong region, indicating a weak relationship between UVX and Z. (c) The strength of UVX increases with age in the model population. This is at variance with the results of other models that include binary stars as progenitors of EHB stars.
