861. Gal. redshift survey near HST/COS AGN sight lines

Gal. redshift survey near HST/COS AGN sight lines

Description:
To establish the connection between galaxies and UV-detected absorption systems in the local universe, a deep (g<=20) and wide (~20' radius) galaxy redshift survey is presented around 47 sight lines to UV-bright AGNs observed by the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS). Specific COS science team papers have used this survey to connect absorbers to galaxies, groups of galaxies, and large-scale structures, including voids. Here we present the technical details of the survey and the basic measurements required for its use, including redshifts for individual galaxies and uncertainties determined collectively by spectral class (emission-line, absorption-line, and composite spectra) and completeness for each sight line as a function of impact parameter and magnitude. For most of these sight lines, the design criteria of >90% completeness over a >1Mpc region down to <~0.1L* luminosities at z<=0.1 allows a plausible association between low-z absorbers and individual galaxies. Ly{alpha} covering fractions are computed to approximate the star-forming and passive galaxy populations using the spectral classes above. In agreement with previous results, the covering fraction of star-forming galaxies with L>=0.3L* is consistent with unity inside one virial radius and declines slowly to >50% at four virial radii. On the other hand, passive galaxies have lower covering fractions (~60%) and a shallower decline with impact parameter, suggesting that their gaseous halos are patchy but have a larger scale-length than star-forming galaxies.
862. GAMA blended spectra catalogue

GAMA blended spectra catalogue

Description:
We present the catalogue of blended galaxy spectra from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey. These are cases where light from two galaxies are significantly detected in a single GAMA fibre. Galaxy pairs identified from their blended spectrum fall into two principal classes: they are either strong lenses, a passive galaxy lensing an emission-line galaxy; or occulting galaxies, serendipitous overlaps of two galaxies, of any type. Blended spectra can thus be used to reliably identify strong lenses for follow-up observations (high-resolution imaging) and occulting pairs, especially those that are a late-type partly obscuring an early-type galaxy which are of interest for the study of dust content of spiral and irregular galaxies. The GAMA survey setup and its AUTOZ automated redshift determination were used to identify candidate blended galaxy spectra from the cross-correlation peaks. We identify 280 blended spectra with a minimum velocity separation of 600km/s, of which 104 are lens pair candidates, 71 emission-line-passive pairs, 78 are pairs of emission-line galaxies and 27 are pairs of galaxies with passive spectra. We have visually inspected the candidates in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) images. Many blended objects are ellipticals with blue fuzz (Ef in our classification). These latter 'Ef' classifications are candidates for possible strong lenses, massive ellipticals with an emission-line galaxy in one or more lensed images. The GAMA lens and occulting galaxy candidate samples are similar in size to those identified in the entire SDSS. This blended spectrum sample stands as a testament of the power of this highly complete, second-largest spectroscopic survey in existence and offers the possibility to expand e.g. strong gravitational lens surveys.

864. Gamma Vel cluster membership and IMF

Title:
Gamma Vel cluster membership and IMF
Short Name:

Description:
Understanding the properties of young open clusters, such as the Initial Mass Function (IMF), star formation history and dynamic evolution, is crucial to obtain reliable theoretical predictions of the mechanisms involved in the star formation process. We want to obtain a list, as complete as possible, of confirmed members of the young open cluster Gamma Velorum, with the aim of deriving general cluster properties such as the IMF. We used all available spectroscopic membership indicators within the Gaia-ESO public archive together with literature photometry and X-ray data and, for each method, we derived the most complete list of candidate cluster members. Then, we considered photometry, gravity and radial velocities as necessary conditions to select a subsample of candidates whose membership was confirmed by using the lithium and H{alpha} lines and X-rays as youth indicators. We found 242 confirmed and 4 possible cluster members for which we derived masses using very recent stellar evolutionary models. The cluster IMF in the mass range investigated in this study shows a slope of {alpha}=2.6+/-0.5 for 0.5<M/M_{sun}<1.3 and {alpha}=1.1+/-0.4 for 0.16<M/M_{sun}_<0.5 and is consistent with a standard IMF. The similarity of the IMF of the young population around gamma^2^ Vel to that in other star forming regions and the field suggests it may have formed through very similar processes.

Description:
Studies of extremely metal-poor stars indicate that chemical abundance ratios [X/Fe] have a root mean square scatter as low as 0.05dex (12%). It remains unclear whether this reflects observational uncertainties or intrinsic astrophysical scatter arising from physical conditions in the ISM at early times. We measure differential chemical abundance ratios in extremely metal-poor stars to investigate the limits of precision and to understand whether cosmic scatter or observational errors are dominant. We used high-resolution (R~95000) and high signal-to-noise (S/N=700 at 5000{AA}) HIRES/Keck spectra to determine high-precision differential abundances between two extremely metal-poor stars through a line-by-line differential approach. We determined stellar parameters for the star G64-37 with respect to the standard star G64-12. We performed EW measurements for the two stars for the lines recognized in both stars and performed spectral synthesis to study the carbon abundances. Results. The differential approach allowed us to obtain errors of {sigma}(Teff)=27K, {sigma}(logg)=0.06dex, {sigma}([Fe/H])=0.02dex and {sigma}(vt)=0.06km/s. We estimated relative chemical abundances with a precision as low as {sigma}([X/Fe])~0.01dex. The small uncertainties demonstrate that there are genuine abundance differences larger than the measurement errors. The observed Li difference cannot be explained by the difference in mass because the less massive star has more Li. It is possible to achieve an abundance precision around ~0.01-0.05dex for extremely metal-poor stars, which opens new windows on the study of the early chemical evolution of the Galaxy.
866. Gas and dust in star-forming region rho OphA

Gas and dust in star-forming region rho OphA

CDS
Description:
We investigate to what degree local physical and chemical conditions are related to the evolutionary status of various objects in star-forming media. rho Oph A displays the entire sequence of low-mass star formation in a small volume of space. Using spectrophotometric line maps of H_2_, H_2_O, NH_3_, N_2_H^+^, O_2_, OI, CO, and CS, we examine the distribution of the atomic and molecular gas in this dense molecular core. The physical parameters of these species are derived, as are their relative abundances in rho Oph A. Using radiative transfer models, we examine the infall status of the cold dense cores from their resolved line profiles of the ground state lines of H_2_O and NH_3_, where for the latter no contamination from the VLA 1623 outflow is observed and line overlap of the hyperfine components is explicitly taken into account. The stratified structure of this photon dominated region (PDR), seen edge-on, is clearly displayed. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and OI are seen throughout the region around the exciting star S1. At the interface to the molecular core 0.05pc away, atomic hydrogen is rapidly converted into H_2_, whereas OI protrudes further into the molecular core. This provides oxygen atoms for the gas-phase formation of O_2_ in the core SM1, where X(O_2_)~5x10^-8^. There, the ratio of the O_2_ to H_2_O abundance [X(H_2_O)~5x10^-9^] is significantly higher than unity. Away from the core, O_2_ experiences a dramatic decrease due to increasing H_2_O formation. Outside the molecular core, on the far side as seen from S1, the intense radiation from the 0.5pc distant early B-type star HD147889 destroys the molecules. Towards the dark core SM1, the observed abundance ratio X(O_2_)/X(H_2_O)>1, which suggests that this object is extremely young, which would explain why O_2_ is such an elusive molecule outside the solar system.

Title:
Gas and dust in the star-forming region rho OphA
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Using mapping observations of the very dense rho Oph A core, we examined standard 1D and non-standard 3D methods to analyse data of far-infrared and submillimeter continuum radiation. The resulting dust surface density distribution can be compared to that of the gas. The latter was derived from the analysis of accompanying molecular line emission, observed with Herschel from space and with APEX from the ground. As a gas tracer we used N_2_H^+^, which is believed to be much less sensitive to freeze-out than CO and its isotopologues. Radiative transfer modelling of the N_2_H^+^(J=3-2) and (J=6-5) lines with their hyperfine structure explicitly taken into account provides solutions for the spatial distribution of the column density N(H2), hence the surface density distribution of the gas. The gas-to-dust mass ratio is varying across the map, with very low values in the central regions around the core SM1. The global average, =88, is not far from the canonical value of 100, however. In rho Oph A, the exponent beta of the power-law description for the dust opacity exhibits a clear dependence on time, with high values of 2 for the envelope-dominated emission in starless Class-1 sources to low values close to 0 for the disk-dominated emission in ClassIII objects. beta assumes intermediate values for evolutionary classes in between. Since beta is primarily controlled by grain size, grain growth mostly occurs in circumstellar disks. The spatial segregation of gas and dust, seen in projection toward the core centre, probably implies that, like C^18^O, also N_2_H^+^ is frozen onto the grains.
868. Gas and stellar kinematics in spirals

Title:
Gas and stellar kinematics in spirals
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We measured the ionized-gas and stellar kinematics along the major and minor axis of a sample of 10 early-type spirals. Much to our surprise we found a remarkable gas velocity gradient along the minor axis of 8 of them. According to the kinematic features observed in their ionized-gas velocity fields, we divide our sample galaxies in three classes of objects. (i) NGC 4984, NGC 7213, and NGC 7377 show an overall velocity curve along the minor axis without zero-velocity points, out to the last measured radius, which is interpreted as due to the warped structure of the gaseous disk. (ii) NGC 3885, NGC 4224, and NGC 4586 are characterized by a velocity gradient along both major and minor axis, although non-zero velocities along the minor axis are confined to the central regions. Such gas kinematics have been explained as being due to non-circular motions induced by a triaxial potential. (iii) NGC 2855 and NGC 7049 show a change of slope of the velocity gradient measured along the major axis (which is shallower in the center and steeper away from the nucleus), as well as non-zero gas velocities in the central regions of the minor axis. This has been attributed to the presence of a kinematically-decoupled gaseous component in orthogonal rotation with respect to the galaxy disk, namely an inner polar disk. The case and origin of inner polar disks are discussed and the list of their host galaxies is presented.

Title:
Gas and stellar metallicities in HII galaxies
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We examine the gas and stellar metallicities in a sample of HII galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, which possibly contains the largest homogeneous sample of HII galaxy spectra to date. We eliminated all spectra with an insufficient signal-to-noise ratio, without strong emission lines and without the [OII] {lambda}3727{AA} line, which is necessary for the determination of the gas metallicity. This excludes galaxies with redshift ~<0.033. Our final sample contains ~700 spectra of HII galaxies.

Description:
The nucleus spectra of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 obtained in 1988-1991 were analyzed in order to study the profile variability of the Ha line resulting from ionizing continuum flux variations. At the time of this galaxy monitoring, the response of the integral flux of the Ha line was almost linear and the average profile shape did not change by more than 5%.
