Title:
SAMI Galaxy Survey: rotators classification

Description:
Recent cosmological hydrodynamical simulations suggest that integral field spectroscopy can connect the high-order stellar kinematic moments h_3_ (~skewness) and h_4_ (~kurtosis) in galaxies to their cosmological assembly history. Here, we assess these results by measuring the stellar kinematics on a sample of 315 galaxies, without a morphological selection, using two-dimensional integral field data from the SAMI Galaxy Survey. Proxies for the spin parameter ({lambda}R_e_) and ellipticity ({epsilon}_e_) are used to separate fast and slow rotators; there exists a good correspondence to regular and non-regular rotators, respectively, as also seen in earlier studies. We confirm that regular rotators show a strong h_3_ versus V/{sigma} anti-correlation, whereas quasi-regular and non-regular rotators show a more vertical relation in h_3_ and V/{sigma}. Motivated by recent cosmological simulations, we develop an alternative approach to kinematically classify galaxies from their individual h_3_ versus V/{sigma} signatures. Within the SAMI Galaxy Survey, we identify five classes of high-order stellar kinematic signatures using Gaussian mixture models. Class 1 corresponds to slow rotators, whereas Classes 2-5 correspond to fast rotators. We find that galaxies with similar {lambda}R_e_-{epsilon}_e_ values can show distinctly different h_3_-V/{sigma} signatures. Class 5 objects are previously unidentified fast rotators that show a weak h_3_ versus V/{sigma} anti-correlation. From simulations, these objects are predicted to be disk-less galaxies formed by gas-poor mergers. From morphological examination, however, there is evidence for large stellar disks. Instead, Class 5 objects are more likely disturbed galaxies, have counter-rotating bulges, or bars in edge-on galaxies. Finally, we interpret the strong anti-correlation in h_3_ versus V/{sigma} as evidence for disks in most fast rotators, suggesting a dearth of gas-poor mergers among fast rotators.
1592. Sample of Compact Group (CG) galaxies
ID:

Title:
Sample of Compact Group (CG) galaxies
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/423/2690
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We construct a sample of 75863 star-forming galaxies with robust metallicity and star formation rate (SFR) measurements from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7, from which we select a clean sample of compact group (CG) galaxies. The CGs are defined to be close configurations of at least four galaxies that are otherwise apparently isolated. Our selection results in a sample of 112 spectroscopically identified CG galaxies, which can be further divided into groups that are either embedded within a larger structure, such as a cluster or large group, or truly isolated systems. The CGs then serve as a probe into the influence of large-scale environment on a galaxy's evolution, while keeping the local density fixed at high values. W
1593. Sample of confirmed quasar pairs
ID:

Title:
Sample of confirmed quasar pairs
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/468/77
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the most precise estimate to date of the clustering of quasars on very small scales, based on a sample of 47 binary quasars with magnitudes of g < 20.85 and proper transverse separations of ~25h^-1^kpc. Our sample of binary quasars, which is about six times larger than any previous spectroscopically confirmed sample on these scales, is targeted using a kernel density estimation (KDE) technique applied to Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging over most of the SDSS area. Our sample is 'complete' in that all of the KDE target pairs with 17.0<=R<=36.2h^-1^kpc in our area of interest have been spectroscopically confirmed from a combination of previous surveys and our own long-slit observational campaign. We catalogue 230 candidate quasar pairs with angular separations of <8 arcsec, from which our binary quasars were identified. We determine the projected correlation function of quasars (<W>_ p_) in four bins of proper transverse scale over the range 17.0<=R<=36.2h^-1^kpc. The implied small-scale quasar clustering amplitude from the projected correlation function, integrated across our entire redshift range, is A=24.1+/-3.6 at ~26.6h^-1^kpc. Our sample is the first spectroscopically confirmed sample of quasar pairs that is sufficiently large to study how quasar clustering evolves with redshift at ~25h^-1^kpc. We find that empirical descriptions of how quasar clustering evolves with redshift at ~25h^-1^Mpc also adequately describe the evolution of quasar clustering at ~25h^-1^kpc.
1594. Sample of confirmed WDs in GSC-II survey
ID:

Title:
Sample of confirmed WDs in GSC-II survey
Short Name:
J/A+A/448/579
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The GSC-II white dwarf survey was designed to identify faint and high proper motion objects, which we used to define a new and independent sample of cool white dwarfs. With this survey we aim to derive new constraints on the halo white dwarf space density. Also, these data can provide information on the age of thick disk and halo through the analysis of the luminosity function. On the basis of astrometric and photometric parameters, we selected candidates with mu>0.28mas/yr and RF>16 in an area of 1150 square degrees. Then, we separated white dwarfs from late type dwarfs and subdwarfs by means of the reduced proper motion diagram. Finally, spectroscopic follow-up observations were carried out to confirm the white dwarf nature of the selected candidates. We found 41 white dwarfs of which 24 are new discoveries. Here we present the full sample and for each object provide positions, absolute proper motions, photometry, and spectroscopy.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The U.S. Naval Observatory is in the process of making new reductions of the Astrographic Catalogue (AC) using a modern reference system, the ACRS, which represents the system of the FK5. The data from the San Fernando Zone, whose plates are centered between declinations -3 and -9 degrees (eq. 1900), have been analyzed for scale, rotation, tilt, coma, magnitude equation, radial distortion and distortions introduced by the use of reseaux in the Carte du Ciel program. The result is a positional catalog of over 225,000 stars on eq. J2000.0, epoch of observation. Additionally, all stars have been matched with the Tycho Input Catalog (revised); those numbers have been added for additional identification purposes.

Title:
SARS galaxy luminosity profiles
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have analyzed CCD images of 14 Abell clusters in the R filter of the Southern Abell Clusters Redshifts Survey (SARS) with cz<40,000km/s. We have obtained the luminosity profiles for 507 galaxies, of which 232 (46%) have known redshifts. In order to fit the luminosity profiles, we used the de Vaucouleurs law for bulge systems and an exponential profile for disk systems, and we also fitted the Sersic's law (r^n^) to all galaxy profiles.

1599. S2CLS: multiwavelength counterparts to SMGs

Title:
S2CLS: multiwavelength counterparts to SMGs
Short Name:
J/ApJ/820/82
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present multiwavelength identifications for the counterparts of 1088 submillimeter sources detected at 850{mu}m in the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey (S2CLS) study of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey-Ultra-Deep Survey (UDS) field. By utilizing an Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) pilot study on a subset of our bright SCUBA-2 sample as a training set, along with the deep optical-near-infrared (OIR) data available in this field, we develop a novel technique, Optical-IR Triple Color (OIRTC), using z-K, K-[3.6], [3.6]-[4.5] colors to select the candidate submillimeter galaxy (SMG) counterparts. By combining radio identification and the OIRTC technique, we find counterpart candidates for 80% of the Class = 1 >=4{sigma} SCUBA-2 sample, defined as those that are covered by both radio and OIR imaging and the base sample for our scientific analyses. Based on the ALMA training set, we expect the accuracy of these identifications to be 82%+/-20%, with a completeness of 69%+/-16%, essentially as accurate as the traditional p-value technique but with higher completeness. We find that the fraction of SCUBA-2 sources having candidate counterparts is lower for fainter 850{mu}m sources, and we argue that for follow-up observations sensitive to SMGs with S_850_>~1mJy across the whole ALMA beam, the fraction with multiple counterparts is likely to be >40% for SCUBA-2 sources at S_850_>~4mJy. We find that the photometric redshift distribution for the SMGs is well fit by a lognormal distribution, with a median redshift of z=2.3+/-0.1. After accounting for the sources without any radio and/or OIRTC counterpart, we estimate the median redshift to be z=2.6+/-0.1 for SMGs with S_850_>1mJy. We also use this new large sample to study the clustering of SMGs and the far-infrared properties of the unidentified submillimeter sources by stacking their Herschel SPIRE far-infrared emission.
1600. SCORPIO 1 catalogue of compact radio sources
ID:

Title:
SCORPIO 1 catalogue of compact radio sources
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/454/902
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Radio emission has been detected in a broad variety of stellar objects from all stages of stellar evolution. However, most of our knowledge originates from targeted observations of small samples, which are strongly biased to sources which are peculiar at other wavelengths. In order to tackle this problem we have conducted a deep 1.4GHz survey by using the Australian Telescope Compact Array, with a net bandwidth of 1.7GHz (1.4-3.1GHz), following the same observing setup as that used for the Australia Telescope Large Area Survey project, this time choosing a region more appropriate for stellar work. In this paper, the Stellar Continuum Originating from Radio Physics In Ourgalaxy (SCORPIO) project is presented as well as results from the pilot experiment. The achieved rms is 30{mu}Jy and the angular resolution ~10arcsec. 614 point-like sources have been extracted just from the pilot field. Only 34 of them are classified in SIMBAD or the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database. About 80 percent of the extracted sources are reported in one of the inspected catalogues and 50 percent of them appears to belong to a reddened stellar/Galactic population. However, the evaluation of extragalactic contaminants is very difficult without further investigations. Interesting results have been obtained for extended radio sources that fall in the SCORPIO field. Many roundish-like structures (indicated as bubbles in the following) have been found, some of which are classified at other wavelengths. However, for all of these sources, our project has provided us with images of unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution.
