Title:
Gamma-ray blazar in northern sky

Description:
Using survey data, we have re-evaluated the correlation of flat-spectrum radio sources with EGRET sources in the northern sky. An analysis incorporating the radio and X-ray properties and the gamma-ray source localization is used to gauge the reliability of associations and to search for counterparts of previously unidentified EGRET sources. Above |b|=10{deg}, where the classification is complete, we find that 70% of the northern EGRET sources have counterparts similar to the bright EGRET blazars. For several of these we identify known blazar counterparts more likely than the earlier proposed 3EG association; for ~20 we have new identifications. Spectroscopic confirmation of these candidates is in progress, and we have found flat-spectrum radio quasars and BL Lacertae counterparts with redshifts as high as 4. We also find strong evidence for a set of 28 objects with no plausible counterpart like the known EGRET blazars. These thus represent either a new extragalactic population or a population of Galactic objects with a large scale height. The survey has been extended into the plane, where we find several new blazar candidates; the bulk of the sources are, however, Galactic. Looking ahead to the GLAST era, we predict that several of the present 3EG sources are composite and that higher resolution data will break these into multiple blazar identifications.

Gas kinematics in CALIFA survey

Description:
Ionized gas kinematics provide important clues to the dynamical structure of galaxies and hold constraints to the processes driving their evolution. The motivation of this work is to provide an overall characterization of the kinematic behavior of the ionized gas of the galaxies included in the Calar Alto Legacy Integral field Area (CALIFA), offering kinematic clues to potential users of the CALIFA survey for including kinematical criteria in their selection of targets for specific studies. From the first 200 galaxies observed by CALIFA survey in its two configurations, we present the two-dimensional kinematic view of the 177 galaxies satisfaying a gas content/detection threshold. After removing the stellar contribution, we used the cross-correlation technique to obtain the radial velocity of the dominant gaseous component for each spectrum in the CALIFA data cubes for different emission lines (namely, [OII] {lambda}{lambda}3726,3729, [OIII] {lambda}{lambda}4959,5007, H{alpha}+[NII] {lambda}{lambda}6548,6584, and [SII]{lambda}{lambda}6716,6730). The main kinematic parameters measured on the plane of the sky were directly derived from the radial velocities with no assumptions on the internal prevailing motions. Evidence of the presence of several gaseous components with different kinematics were detected by using [OIII] {lambda}{lambda}4959,5007 emission line profiles.
713. GASS HI survey of the lower halo

Title:
GASS HI survey of the lower halo
Short Name:
J/ApJ/688/290
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have detected over 400 HI clouds in the lower halo of the Galaxy within the pilot region of the Galactic All-Sky Survey (GASS), a region of the fourth quadrant that spans 18{deg} in longitude, 40{deg} in latitude, and is centered on the Galactic equator. These clouds have a median peak brightness temperature of 0.6K, a median velocity width of 12.8km/s, and angular sizes <~1{deg}. The motion of these clouds is dominated by Galactic rotation with a random cloud-to-cloud velocity dispersion of 18km/s. A sample of clouds likely to be near tangent points was analyzed in detail. These clouds have radii on the order of 30pc and a median HI mass of 630M_{sun}_. The population has a vertical scale height of 400pc and is concentrated in Galactocentric radius, peaking at R=3.8kpc. This confined structure suggests that the clouds are linked to spiral features, while morphological evidence that many clouds are aligned with loops and filaments is suggestive of a relationship with star formation. The clouds might result from supernovae and stellar winds in the form of fragmenting shells and gas that has been pushed into the halo rather than from a galactic fountain.

Title:
GASS HVCs in the Magellanic Leading Arm region
Short Name:
J/ApJ/764/74
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalog of high-velocity clouds in the region of the Magellanic Leading Arm. The catalog is based on neutral hydrogen (H I) observations from the Parkes Galactic All-Sky Survey. Excellent spectral resolution allows clouds with narrow-line components to be resolved. The total number of detected clouds is 419. We describe the method of cataloging and present the basic parameters of the clouds. We discuss the general distribution of the high-velocity clouds and classify the clouds based on their morphological type. The presence of a significant number of head-tail clouds and their distribution in the region is discussed in the context of Magellanic System simulations. We suggest that ram-pressure stripping is a more important factor than tidal forces for the morphology and formation of the Magellanic Leading Arm and that different environmental conditions might explain the morphological difference between the Magellanic Leading Arm and Magellanic Stream. We also discuss a newly identified population of clouds that forms the LA IV and a new diffuse bridge-like feature connecting the LA II and III complexes.

Description:
We describe a large-scale far-infrared line and continuum survey of protoplanetary disk through to young debris disk systems carried out using the ACS instrument on the Herschel Space Observatory. This Open Time Key program, known as GASPS (Gas Survey of Protoplanetary Systems), targeted ~250 young stars in narrow wavelength regions covering the [OI] fine structure line at 63um the brightest far-infrared line in such objects. A subset of the brightest targets were also surveyed in [OI]145um, [CII] at 157um, as well as several transitions of HO and high-excitation CO lines at selected wavelengths between 78 and 180um. Additionally, GASPS included continuum photometry at 70, 100 and 160um, around the peak of the dust emission.

Title:
GASS VII. Bivariate HI-stellar mass function
Short Name:
J/ApJ/776/74
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the bivariate neutral atomic hydrogen (HI)-stellar mass function (HISMF) {phi}(M_HI_, M_{star}_) for massive (logM_*_/M_{sun}_>10) galaxies derived from a sample of 480 local (0.025<z<0.050) galaxies observed in H I at Arecibo as part of the GALEX Arecibo SDSS Survey. We fit six different models to the HISMF and find that a Schechter function that extends down to a 1% HI gas fraction, with an additional fractional contribution below that limit, is the best parameterization of the HISMF. We calculate {Omega}_HI,M_{star}__>10^10^ and find that massive galaxies contribute 41% of the H I density in the local universe. In addition to the binned HISMF, we derive a continuous bivariate fit, which reveals that the Schechter parameters only vary weakly with stellar mass: M_HI_^*^, the characteristic H I mass, scales as M_{star}_^0.39^; {alpha}, the slope of the HISMF at moderate H I masses, scales as M_{star}_^0.07^; and f, the fraction of galaxies with HI gas fraction greater than 1%, scales as M_{star}_^-0.24^. The variation of f with stellar mass should be a strong constraint for numerical simulations. To understand the physical mechanisms that produce the shape of the HISMF, we redefine the parameters of the Schechter function as explicit functions of stellar mass and star formation rate (SFR) to produce a trivariate fit. This analysis reveals strong trends with SFR. While M_HI_^*^ varies weakly with stellar mass and SFR (M_HI_^*^{prop.to}M_{star}_^0.22^, M_HI_^*^{prop.to}SFR^-0.03^), {alpha} is a stronger function of both stellar mass and especially SFR ({alpha}{prop.to}M_{star}_^0.47^, {alpha}{prop.to}SFR^0.95^). The HISMF is a crucial tool that can be used to constrain cosmological galaxy simulations, test observational predictions of the H I content of populations of galaxies, and identify galaxies whose properties deviate from average trends.

Title:
GaussPy+ decomposition of Galactic Ring Survey
Short Name:
J/A+A/633/A14

Publisher:

Description:
The analysis of large molecular line surveys of the Galactic plane is essential for our understanding of the gas kinematics on Galactic scales and, in particular, its link with the formation and evolution of dense structures in the interstellar medium. An approximation of the emission peaks with Gaussian functions allows for an efficient and straightforward extraction of useful physical information contained in the shape and Doppler-shifted frequency of the emission lines contained in these enormous data sets. In this work, we present an overview and the first results of a Gaussian decomposition of the entire Galactic Ring Survey (GRS) ^13^CO (1-0) data that consists of about 2.3 million spectra. We performed the decomposition with the fully automated GaussPy+ algorithm and fitted about 4.6 million Gaussian components to the GRS spectra. These decomposition results enable novel and unexplored ways to interpret and study the gas velocity structure. We discuss the statistics of the fit components and relations between the fitted intensities, velocity centroids, and velocity dispersions. We find that the magnitude of the velocity dispersion values increase towards the inner Galaxy and around the Galactic midplane, which we speculate is partly due to the influence of the Galactic bar and regions with higher non-thermal motions located in the midplane, respectively. We also used our decomposition results to infer global properties of the gas emission and find that the number of fit components used per spectrum is indicative of the amount of structure along the line of sight. We find that the emission lines from regions located on the far side of the Galaxy show increased velocity dispersion values, which are likely due to beam averaging effects. We demonstrate how this trend has the potential to aid in characterising Galactic structure by disentangling emission that belongs to the nearby Aquila Rift molecular cloud from emission that is more likely associated with the Perseus and Outer spiral arms. With this work, we also make our entire decomposition results available.
718. GBT HI observations of 1194 spirals

Title:
GBT HI observations of 1194 spirals
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/443/1044
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present HI 21cm observations of 1194 galaxies out to a redshift of 10000km/s selected as inclined spirals (i>~60{deg}) from the 2MASS redshift survey. These observations were carried out at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT). This observing programme is part of the 2MASS Tully-Fisher (2MTF) survey. This project will combine Hi widths from these GBT observations with those from further dedicated observing at the Parkes Telescope, from the Arecibo Legacy Fast Arecibo L-band Feed Array survey at Arecibo, and S/N>10 and spectral resolution v_res_<10km/s published widths from a variety of telescopes. We will use these Hi widths along with 2MASS photometry to estimate Tully-Fisher distances to nearby spirals and investigate the peculiar velocity field of the local Universe. In this paper, we report on detections of neutral hydrogen in emission in 727 galaxies, and measure good signal to noise and symmetric HI global profiles suitable for use in the Tully-Fisher relation in 484.

Title:
GBT 350MHz survey. I. 13 new pulsars
Short Name:
J/ApJ/763/80
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Over the summer of 2007, we obtained 1191hr of "drift-scan" pulsar search observations with the Green Bank Telescope at a radio frequency of 350MHz. Here we describe the survey setup, search procedure, and the discovery and follow-up timing of 13 pulsars. Among the new discoveries, one (PSR J1623-0841) was discovered only through its single pulses, two (PSRs J1327-0755 and J1737-0814) are millisecond pulsars, and another (PSR J2222-0137) is a mildly recycled pulsar. PSR J1327-0755 is a 2.7ms pulsar at a dispersion measure (DM) of 27.9pc/cm3 in an 8.7 day orbit with a minimum companion mass of 0.22M_{sun}_. PSR J1737-0814 is a 4.2ms pulsar at a DM of 55.3pc/cm3 in a 79.3 day orbit with a minimum companion mass of 0.06M_{sun}_. PSR J2222-0137 is a 32.8ms pulsar at a very low DM of 3.27pc/cm3 in a 2.4 day orbit with a minimum companion mass of 1.11M_{sun}_. It is most likely a white-dwarf-neutron-star system or an unusual low-eccentricity double neutron star system. Ten other pulsars discovered in this survey are reported in the companion paper Lynch et al. (2013ApJ...763...81L).

Title:
GBT multiwavelength survey of Galactic center
Short Name:
J/ApJS/177/255
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We describe the results of a radio continuum survey of the central 4{deg}x1{deg} with the 100m Green Bank Telescope (GBT) at wavelengths of 3.5, 6, 20, and 90cm. The 3.5 and 6cm surveys are the most sensitive and highest resolution single-dish surveys made of the central degrees of our Galaxy. We present catalogs of compact and extended sources in the central 4{deg} of our Galaxy, including detailed spectral index studies of all sources. The analysis covers star-forming regions such as Sgr B and Sgr C, where we find evidence of a mixture of thermal and nonthermal emission. The analysis quantifies the relative contribution of thermal and nonthermal processes to the radio continuum flux density toward the Galactic center (GC) region. In the central 4{deg}x1{deg} of the GC, the thermal and nonthermal flux fractions for all compact and diffuse sources are 28%/72% at 3.5cm and 19%/81% at 6cm. The total flux densities from these sources are 783+/-52 and 1063+/-93Jy at 3.5 and 6cm, respectively, excluding the contribution of Galactic synchrotron emission.
