Description:
The Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS) aims to image a 7deg^2^ region centred on the European Large Area ISO Survey - South 1 (ELAIS-S1) field and the Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S) at 1.4GHz with high sensitivity (up to {sigma}~10uJy) to study the evolution of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) over a wide range of cosmic time. We present here ancillary radio observations at a frequency of 2.3GHz obtained with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The main goal of this is to study the radio spectra of an unprecedented large sample of sources (~2000 observed, ~600 detected in both frequencies).

ATLAS 5.5GHz survey of Chandra Deep Field South
Short Name:

CDS
Description:
Star-forming galaxies are thought to dominate the sub-mJy radio population, but recent work has shown that low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can still make a significant contribution to the faint radio source population. Spectral indices are an important tool for understanding the emission mechanism of the faint radio sources. We have observed the extended Chandra Deep Field South at 5.5GHz using a mosaic of 42 pointings with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. Our image reaches an almost uniform sensitivity of ~12Jy rms over 0.25deg^2^ with a restoring beam of 4.9"x2.0", making ATLAS 5.5GHz survey one of the deepest 6cm surveys to date. We present the 5.5GHz catalogue and source counts from this field. We take advantage of the large amount of ancillary data in this field to study the 1.4 to 5.5GHz spectral indices of the sub-mJy population.

Description:
The Leiden/Dwingeloo HI survey mapped the 21-cm spectral line emission over the entire sky above declinations of -30 degrees using a grid spacing of ~ 0.5 degree and a velocity sampling of ~ 1.03 km/s. The useful velocity (V_lsr) range is from -450 to +400 km/s. The Atlas presents calibrated spectra in units of brightness temperature. Using interpolation and averaging, the authors have placed their data on an evenly-spaced grid in Galactic coordinates (l,b). A detailed discussion of the instrument and calibration procedures is provided in the published Atlas. The average sensitivity level of the survey is 0.07 K (1-sigma, rms). This sensitivity level depends critically on the success of the stray-radiation correction as discussed in Hartmann et al. (1996A&AS..119..115H). In that discussion, several caveats are offered regarding the removal of stray radiation, in particular that component which might be due to reflection from the ground. Some instances have been found where there are residuals which are clearly larger than the mean accuracy quoted as representative of the Leiden/Dwingeloo survey. Users of the data are reminded that the stray-radiation correction was applied conservatively, ensuring that no overestimate was calculated and removed, thereby yielding spurious negative intensities. A specific example of remaining spurious emission is evident towards the North Galactic Pole, a direction notoriously difficult to observe. All spectra taken towards b=+90 degrees should, of course, be identical, no matter the longitude or the orientation of the telescope with respect to the ground or to the meridian. Because the sky was sampled in 5x5 degree boxes, a spectrum was recorded at b=+90 degrees for every Nx5 degrees (N=0..72) in longitude. The spectra in the final dataset were interpolated between these measured spectra to yield a 0.5x0.5 degree grid. So, only every 10th spectrum at this extreme latitude corresponds to an observed spectrum. Comparing all spectra at b=+90 reveals differences which are larger than expected. The origin of this discrepancy is currently unknown. There is also an instrumental effect which reveals itself as correlated noise, showing a pattern which alternates sign at adjacent channels when the very lowest levels of intensity are examined. This effect is due to an offset in the DAS autocorrelator used as the backend in the Leiden/Dwingeloo survey. The presence of this artifact becomes noticeable only after averaging 50 or more spectra. Although a Hanning convolution of the data would eliminate this effect, it would also degrade the velocity resolution; as the correlated noise is noticeable only at very low levels (about 15 mK), well below the mean rms sensitivity of the survey itself, the original spectra have not been Hanning smoothed. Excepted are those spectra which suffered from sinc interference. These spectra were Hanning smoothed to enable the elimination of the interference spike. Dr. Lloyd Higgs has compared the HI spectra made with the DRAO 26-m telescope in support of the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey with those of the Leiden Dwingeloo Survey, and has pointed out what are evidently calibration problems in a small number of isolated LDS spectra. Either Hartmann, Burton, or Higgs could provide additional information. The Leiden/Dwingeloo HI survey is intended primarily for studies of the interstellar gas associated with our own Galaxy. There are, however, a small number of spectra in which 'contaminating' signatures from known external galaxies are present. Detections of roughly 50 such external galaxies were made; refer to table 4 of the Atlas for a list. The HI spectra from the Leiden/Dwingeloo survey are archived as 721 files. Each file is in FITS image format, and maps the 21-cm brightness temperature at a fixed Galactic longitude for an evenly-spaced rectangular grid of (Galactic latitude, velocity) points. There is one FITS file for every 0.5 degree in Galactic longitude in the "fits" subdirectory. In addition to the 721 (b,v) FITS files, there is an (l,b) FITS image named TOTAL_HI.FIT, which contains the integrated intensity map over the velocity range -450 km/s <= V_lsr <= +400 km/s. The map units are in [K.km/s] and the FITS header contains comments regarding the conversion to column densities. Included as a visual aid is the GIF image file total_hi.gif, which depicts the velocity-integrated map. The data were originally distributed on a CD-ROM enclosed with the Atlas of Galactic Neutral Hydrogen (reference given above). The CD also contains animations of velocity slices through the data cube.

Description:
We have conducted sensitive (1{sigma}<30uJy) 1.4GHz radio observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array of a field largely coincident with infrared observations of the Spitzer Wide-Area Extragalactic Survey (SWIRE, 2003PASP..115..897L). The field is centered on the European Large Area ISO Survey S1 region and has a total area of 3.9{deg}. We describe the observations and calibration, source extraction, and cross-matching to infrared sources. Two catalogs are presented: one of the radio components found in the image and another of radio sources with counterparts in the infrared and extracted from the literature. 1366 radio components were grouped into 1276 sources, 1183 of which were matched to infrared sources. We discover 31 radio sources with no infrared counterpart at all, adding to the class of Infrared-Faint Radio Sources.
176. Atomic data for the Gaia-ESO Survey

Title:
Atomic data for the Gaia-ESO Survey

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We describe the atomic data that were used for the abundance analyses of FGK-type stars carried out within the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey in the years 2012 to 2019. The Gaia-ESO survey is one among several current and future stellar spectroscopic surveys producing abundances for Milky-Way stars on an industrial scale. We present an unprecedented effort to create a homogeneous common line list, which was used by several abundance analysis groups using different radiative transfer codes to calculate synthetic spectra and equivalent widths. The atomic data are accompanied by quality indicators and detailed references to the sources. An overview of molecular data is also given. Among a subset of over 1300 lines of 35 elements in the wavelength ranges from 475nm to 685nm and from 850nm to 895nm we identified about 200 lines of 24 species which have accurate gf-values and are free of blends in the spectra of the Sun and Arcturus.
177. A unified supernova catalogue

Title:
A unified supernova catalogue
Short Name:
J/A+A/538/A120

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
A supernova catalogue containing data for 5526 extragalactic supernovae that were discovered up to 2010 December 31. It combines several catalogues that are currently available online in a consistent and traceable way. During the comparison of the catalogues inconsistent entries were identified and resolved where possible. Remaining inconsistencies are marked transparently and can be easily identified. Thus it is possible to select a high-quality sample in a most simple way. Where available, redshift-based distance estimates to the supernovae were replaced by journal-refereed distances.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Australia Telescope 20GHz Survey (AT20G) is a blind radio survey carried out at 20GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) from 2004 to 2008, and covers the whole sky south of declination 0{deg}. The AT20G source catalogue presented here is an order of magnitude larger than any previous catalogue of high-frequency radio sources, and includes 5890 sources above a 20GHz flux-density limit of 40mJy. All AT20G sources have total intensity and polarisation measured at 20GHz, and most sources south of declination -15{deg} also have near-simultaneous flux-density measurements at 5 and 8GHz. A total of 1559 sources were detected in polarised total intensity at one or more of the three frequencies.
179. Australia Telescope Large Area Survey

Title:
Australia Telescope Large Area Survey
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS) has surveyed 7 square degrees of sky around the Chandra Deep Field South and the European Large Area ISO Survey-South 1 fields at 1.4GHz. ATLAS aims to reach a uniform sensitivity of 10uJy/beam rms over the entire region with first data release currently reaching ~30uJy/beam rms. Here we present 466 new spectroscopic redshifts for radio sources in ATLAS as part of our optical follow-up programme. Of the 466 radio sources with new spectroscopic redshifts, 142 have star-forming optical spectra, 282 show evidence for active galactic nuclei (AGN) in their optical spectra, 10 have stellar spectra and 32 have spectra revealing redshifts, but with insufficient features to classify.
180. Australia Telescope Low-brightness Survey (ATLBS)

Title:
Australia Telescope Low-brightness Survey (ATLBS)
Short Name:
J/ApJ/762/16
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Australia Telescope Low-brightness Survey (ATLBS) regions have been mosaic imaged at a radio frequency of 1.4GHz with 6" angular resolution and 72{mu}Jy/beam rms noise. The images (centered at RAJ2000=00:35:00, DEJ2000=-67:00:00 and RAJ2000=00:59:17, DEJ2000=-67:00:00) cover 8.42deg^2^ sky area and have no artifacts or imaging errors above the image thermal noise. Multi-resolution radio and optical r-band images (made using the 4m CTIO Blanco telescope) were used to recognize multi-component sources and prepare a source list; the detection threshold was 0.38mJy in a low-resolution radio image made with beam FWHM of 50". Radio source counts in the flux density range 0.4-8.7mJy are estimated, with corrections applied for noise bias, effective area correction, and resolution bias. The resolution bias is mitigated using low-resolution radio images, while effects of source confusion are removed by using high-resolution images for identifying blended sources. Below 1mJy the ATLBS counts are systematically lower than the previous estimates. Showing no evidence for an upturn down to 0.4mJy, they do not require any changes in the radio source population down to the limit of the survey. The work suggests that automated image analysis for counts may be dependent on the ability of the imaging to reproduce connecting emission with low surface brightness and on the ability of the algorithm to recognize sources, which may require that source finding algorithms effectively work with multi-resolution and multi-wavelength data. The work underscores the importance of using source lists --as opposed to component lists-- and correcting for the noise bias in order to precisely estimate counts close to the image noise and determine the upturn at sub-mJy flux density.
