281. Catalina Surveys periodic variable stars
ID:

Title:
Catalina Surveys periodic variable stars
Short Name:
J/ApJS/213/9
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present ~47000 periodic variables found during the analysis of 5.4 million variable star candidates within a 20000deg^2^ region covered by the Catalina Surveys Data Release-1 (CSDR1). Combining these variables with type ab RR Lyrae from our previous work, we produce an online catalog containing periods, amplitudes, and classifications for ~61000 periodic variables. By cross-matching these variables with those from prior surveys, we find that >90% of the ~8000 known periodic variables in the survey region are recovered. For these sources, we find excellent agreement between our catalog and prior values of luminosity, period, and amplitude as well as classification. We investigate the rate of confusion between objects classified as contact binaries and type c RR Lyrae (RRc's) based on periods, colors, amplitudes, metallicities, radial velocities, and surface gravities. We find that no more than a few percent of the variables in these classes are misidentified. By deriving distances for this clean sample of ~5500 RRc's, we trace the path of the Sagittarius tidal streams within the Galactic halo. Selecting 146 outer-halo RRc's with SDSS radial velocities, we confirm the presence of a coherent halo structure that is inconsistent with current N-body simulations of the Sagittarius tidal stream. We also find numerous long-period variables that are very likely associated within the Sagittarius tidal stream system. Based on the examination of 31000 contact binary light curves we find evidence for two subgroups exhibiting irregular light curves. One subgroup presents significant variations in mean brightness that are likely due to chromospheric activity. The other subgroup shows stable modulations over more than a thousand days and thereby provides evidence that the O'Connell effect is not due to stellar spots.
282. Catalog of central stellar velocity dispersions

Title:
Catalog of central stellar velocity dispersions
Short Name:
J/ApJS/183/1
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present new central stellar velocity dispersion measurements for 428 galaxies in the Palomar spectroscopic survey of bright, northern galaxies. Of these, 142 have no previously published measurements, most being relatively late-type systems with low velocity dispersions (<~100km/s). We provide updates to a number of literature dispersions with large uncertainties. Our measurements are based on a direct pixel-fitting technique that can accommodate composite stellar populations by calculating an optimal linear combination of input stellar templates. The original Palomar survey data were taken under conditions that are not ideally suited for deriving stellar velocity dispersions for galaxies with a wide range of Hubble types. We describe an effective strategy to circumvent this complication and demonstrate that we can still obtain reliable velocity dispersions for this sample of well-studied nearby galaxies.
283. Catalog of CSC2.0-SDSS DR15 crossmatched sources
ID:

Title:
Catalog of CSC2.0-SDSS DR15 crossmatched sources
Short Name:
IX/62
Date:
22 Feb 2022
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalog of Chandra Source Catalog 2.0 sources cross-matched with SDSS DR15/16 counterparts. The crossmatch is performed with a Bayesian method developed by Budavari & Szalay (2008ApJ...679..301B) as implemented and extended by A. Rots (2020, https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/XmatchQuickSummary.pdf) that takes into account local source density as well as both error ellipses and raw-size ellipses of the sources (for more details, see https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/XmatchQuickSummary.pdf). CSC2.0 sources are extracted from the CSC2.0 "Master Source" table (https://cxc.harvard.edu/csc/columns/master_alpha.html), while SDSS DR15 are from the "Star" or "Galaxy" views. For each crossmatched source pair the match probability, match type and match grade are provided. In addition, ambiguous matches are explicitly called out and provided in separate published tables. The lists of ambiguous matches can be found in the following files: https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/CSC2-SDSSDR15SG_AmbiguousXmatch.txt https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/SDSSDR15SG-CSC2_AmbiguousXmatch.txt and a simple readme file is located at: https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/cda/files/AmbiguousXmatch.readme
284. Catalog of M, L, & T dwarfs from PS1 3{pi} Survey
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/234/1
Title:
Catalog of M, L, & T dwarfs from PS1 3{pi} Survey
Short Name:
J/ApJS/234/1
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalog of 9888 M, L and T dwarfs detected in the Pan-STARRS1 3{pi} Survey (PS1), covering three-quarters of the sky. Our catalog contains nearly all known objects of spectral types L0-T2 in the PS1 field, with objects as early as M0 and as late as T9, and includes PS1, 2MASS, AllWISE, and Gaia DR1 photometry. We analyze the different types of photometry reported by PS1 and use two types in our catalog in order to maximize both depth and accuracy. Using parallaxes from the literature, we construct empirical SEDs for field ultracool dwarfs spanning 0.5-12{mu}m. We determine typical colors of M0-T9 dwarfs and highlight the distinctive colors of subdwarfs and young objects. We combine astrometry from PS1, 2MASS, and Gaia DR1 to calculate new proper motions for our catalog. We achieve a median precision of 2.9mas/yr, a factor of ~3-10 improvement over previous large catalogs. Our catalog contains proper motions for 2405 M6-T9 dwarfs and includes the largest set of homogeneous proper motions for L and T dwarfs published to date, 406 objects for which there were no previous measurements, and 1176 objects for which we improve upon previous literature values. We analyze the kinematics of ultracool dwarfs in our catalog and find evidence that bluer but otherwise generic late-M and L field dwarfs (i.e., not subdwarfs) tend to have tangential velocities higher than those of typical field objects. With the public release of the PS1 data, this survey will continue to be an essential tool for characterizing the ultracool dwarf population.
285. Catalog of NLS1s galaxies in 6dFGS survey

Title:
Catalog of NLS1s galaxies in 6dFGS survey
Short Name:
J/A+A/615/A167
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a new accurate catalog of narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) in the southern hemisphere from the Six-degree Field Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) final data release, which is currently the most extensive spectroscopic survey available in the southern sky whose database has not yet been systematically explored. We classified 167 sources as NLS1s based on their optical spectral properties. We derived flux-calibrated spectra for the first time that the 6dFGS does not provide. By analyzing these spectra, we obtained strong correlations between the monochromatic luminosity at 5100 Angstrom and the luminosities of H-beta and [OIII] lines. The central black hole mass and the Eddington ratio have average values of 0.86x10^7^M_{sun}_ and 0.96L_Edd_ respectively, which are typical values for NLS1s. In the sample, 23 (13.8%) NLS1s were detected at radio frequencies, and 12 (7.0%) of them are radio-loud. Our results confirmed that radio-loud sources tend to have higher redshift, a more massive black hole, and higher radio and optical luminosities than radio-quiet sources.
286. Catalog of Positions of IR Stellar Sources (CPIRSS)
ID:

Title:
Catalog of Positions of IR Stellar Sources (CPIRSS)
Short Name:
I/270
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The U.S. Naval Observatory Catalog of Positions of Infrared Stellar Sources (CPIRSS) was originally compiled in 1994 to provide astrometry at the sub-arcsecond level for many of the point sources in the 1987 version of the IRAS Point Source Catalog (NASA RP-1190). This was accomplished by the identification of IRAS sources with bright optical stars, checked by requiring the color V-[12] (with [12] being a magnitude derived from the IRAS flux) to be consistent with the optical colors or spectral type. Additionally, the K magnitude (2.2 microns) has been estimated. This version, completed in 2001, contains 37,700 stars and includes the Hipparcos and Tycho-2 astrometry and photometry which was unavailable at the time of the original compilation.
287. Catalog of SDSS compact groups of galaxies

Title:
Catalog of SDSS compact groups of galaxies
Short Name:
J/AJ/127/1811
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Compact groups (CGs) of galaxies - relatively poor groups of galaxies in which the typical separations between members is of the order of a galaxy diameter - offer an exceptional laboratory for the study of dense galactic environments with short (<1Gyr) dynamical timescales. We present an objectively defined catalog of CGs in 153deg^2^ of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Early Data Release (<J/AJ/123/567>). To identify CGs, we applied a modified version of Hickson's criteria of 1982 aimed at finding the highest-density CGs and thus reducing the number of chance alignments. Our catalog contains 175 CGs down to a limiting galaxy magnitude of r*=21. The resulting catalog has a median depth of z_med_~0.13, substantially deeper than previous CG catalogs. Since the SDSS will eventually image up to one-quarter of the celestial sphere, we expect our final catalog, based on the completed SDSS, will contain on the order of 5000-10000CGs. This catalog will be useful for conducting studies of the general characteristics of CGs, their environments, and their component galaxies.
288. Catalog of X-ray sources in the CYDER fields

Title:
Catalog of X-ray sources in the CYDER fields
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the first results from the Calan-Yale Deep Extragalactic Research (CYDER) survey. The main goal of this survey is to study serendipitous X-ray sources detected by Chandra in an intermediate flux range (10^-15^ to 10^-12^ergs/s) that comprises most of the X-ray background. A total of 267 X-ray sources spread over five archived fields were detected.
289. Catalogue of white dwarfs in Gaia EDR3
ID:

Title:
Catalogue of white dwarfs in Gaia EDR3
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/508/3877
Date:
06 Dec 2021 19:56:36
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a catalogue of white dwarf candidates selected from Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3). We applied several selection criteria in absolute magnitude, colour, and Gaia quality flags to remove objects with unreliable measurements while preserving most stars compatible with the white dwarf locus in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. We then used a sample of over 30000 spectroscopically confirmed white dwarfs and contaminants from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to map the distribution of these objects in the Gaia absolute magnitude-colour space. Finally, we adopt the same method presented in our previous work on Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) to calculate a probability of being a white dwarf (P_WD_) for ~=1.3 million sources that passed our quality selection. The P_WD_ values can be used to select a sample of \simeq 359000 high-confidence white dwarf candidates. We calculated stellar parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, and mass) for all these stars by fitting Gaia astrometry and photometry with synthetic pure-H, pure-He, and mixed H-He atmospheric models. We estimate an upper limit of 93 per cent for the overall completeness of our catalogue for white dwarfs with G>=20mag and effective temperature (T_eff_)>7000K, at high Galactic latitudes (|b|>20{deg}). Alongside the main catalogue we include a reduced proper motion extension containing ~=10200 white dwarf candidates with unreliable parallax measurements that could, however, be identified on the basis of their proper motion. We also performed a cross-match of our catalogues with SDSS Data Release 16 (DR16) spectroscopy and provide spectral classification based on visual inspection for all resulting matches.
290. Catalogues from a deep 327 MHz Westerbork Survey

Title:
Catalogues from a deep 327 MHz Westerbork Survey
Short Name:
VIII/19
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the results of a deep survey of six fields with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope at 327 MHz. In total we have detected ~4500 sources brighter than our 5-sigma noise level, which ranges from 2.4-3.5 mJy/beam, over an area of ~95 square degrees. For four fields we also obtained 608 MHz observations, for the remaining two fields 608 MHz observations were already available. We present the source catalogues at both frequencies and derive source counts and spectral indices. The data were calibrated using the DWARF redundancy package and absolute calibration is based on 3C286, using a flux of 26.93 Jy at 327 Mhz and 21.47 Jy at 608 MHz. The source parameters were determined using a gaussian fitting procedure for all but the most complex sources and statistical corrections for noise bias were applied. As part of my PhD-thesis at Leiden Observatory I made the following surveys at 327 and 608 MHz using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 64W2: Lynx, 327 MHz only (this field has been mapped at this frequency before by M.J.A. Oort (thesis), I've added a 2 after the W to indicate the revised list), numbers do not correspond because the present survey is more sensitive. 69W : Draco, a survey of 2 overlapping fields at 327 MHz and 6 fields at 608 MHz. 70W : Umi, 327 MHz only, one field. 75W : OH471, one 327 MHz field and three 608 MHz fields 76W : Cam, one 327 MHz field and three 608 MHz fields -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources detected at both frequencies have corresponding numbers in the 327 MHz (92cm) and 608 MHz (50cm) lists. Multiple sources are indicated by a '*' after the name, their components by 'A','B', etc. Components of multiple sources do not necessarily correspond between the two frequencies, also in some cases one or more components may not be detected at the other frequency. The .tex files are in plain TeX format The .dat files were written with the following format (fortran): FORMAT(A8,1X,F9.2,1X,F4.2,1X,F9.1,1X,F4.1,1X,F8.2,1X,F7.2,1X,A2, 1 1X,F5.1,1X,F4.1,1X,F4.0,1X,F3.0,1X,F5.1,1X,F5.2,1X,F7.2, 1 1X,F5.2,1X,F5.2)
