- Description:
- A possible pathway for understanding the events and the mechanisms involved in galaxy formation and evolution is an in-depth comprehension of the galactic and inter-galactic fossil sub-structures with long dynamical times-scales: stars in the field and in stellar clusters. This paper continues the series of the Fornax Deep Survey (FDS). Following the previous studies dedicated to extended Fornax cluster members, in this paper we present the catalogs of compact stellar systems in the Fornax cluster as well as extended background sources and point-like sources. We derive ugri photometry of ~1.7 million sources over the ~21 square degree area of FDS centered on the bright central galaxy NGC1399. For a wider area, of ~27 square degrees extending in the direction of NGC1316, we provide gri photometry for ~3.1 million sources. To improve the morphological characterization of sources we generate multi-band image stacks by coadding the best seeing gri-band single exposures with a cut at FWHM<=0.9". We use the multi-band stacks as master detection frames, with a FWHM improved by ~15% and a FWHM variability from field to field reduced by a factor of ~2.5 compared to the pass-band with best FWHM, namely the r-band. The identification of compact sources, in particular of globular clusters (GC), is obtained from a combination of photometric (e.g. colors, magnitudes) and morphometric (e.g. concentration index, elongation, effective radius) selection criteria, by also taking as reference the properties of sources with well-defined classification from spectroscopic or high-resolution imaging data. Using the FDS catalogs, we present a preliminary analysis of globular cluster (GC) distributions in the Fornax area. The study confirms and extends further previous results which were limited to a smaller survey area. We observe the inter-galactic population of GCs, a population of mainly blue GCs centered on NGC1399, extends over ~0.9Mpc, with an ellipticity ~0.65 and a small tilt in the direction of NGC1336. Several sub-structures extend over ~0.5Mpc along various directions. Two of these structures do not cross any bright galaxy; one of them appears to be connected to NGC1404, a bright galaxy close to the cluster core and particularly poor of GCs. Using the gri catalogs we analyze the GC distribution over the extended FDS area, and do not find any obvious GC sub-structure bridging the two brightest cluster galaxies, NGC1316 and NGC1399. Although NGC1316 is more than twice brighter of NGC1399 in optical bands, using gri data, we estimate a factor of ~3-4 richer GC population around NGC1399 compared to NGC1316, out to galactocentric distances of ~40' or ~230kpc

- Description:
- We present a catalogue and atlas of low-resolution spectra of a sample of 341 objects with reliable redshifts in the FORS Deep Field (FDF). The sample contains 42 stars, 8 QSOs, and 291 galaxies up to z=5.98 objects are at z>2. For z>1 most objects were selected using photometric redshifts. The limiting I magnitude has been I=24.5 for 2<z<4. All spectra were obtained using the FORS instruments at the ESO VLT and cover the wavelength range 3300-10000{AA}. The grism 150I with a 1" slit width was used, resulting in a spectral resolution element of our spectra of 18-24{AA}, depending on the light distribution in the slit. Most objects were observed several times. Typical exposure times were about 10h for our z>2 objects. The individual spectra were S/N-optimised co-added. The final spectra were flux calibrated, smoothed to the resolution element, and corrected for atmospheric extinction. Moreover, the spectra were corrected for the atmospheric A and B bands. Redshifts and rough object types were derived by cross-correlation of the galaxy spectra with six template spectra, which had been created from high-quality FDF spectroscopic data by an iterative procedure.

- Description:
- Studies of the stellar and the HI gas kinematics in dwarf and Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies are essential for deriving constraints on their dark matter distribution. Moreover, a key component to unveil in the evolution of LSBs is why some of them can be classified as superthin. We aim to investigate the nature of the proto-typical superthin galaxy Fourcade-Figueroa (FF), to understand the role played by the dark matter halo in forming its superthin shape and to investigate the mechanism that explains the observed disruption in the approaching side of the galaxy. Combining new HI 21-cm observations obtained with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope with archival data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array we were able to obtain sensitive HI observations of the FF galaxy. These data were modeled with a 3D tilted ring model in order to derive the rotation curve and surface brightness density of the neutral hydrogen. We subsequently used this model, combined with a stellar profile from the literature, to derive the radial distribution of the dark matter in the FF galaxy. Additionally, we used a more direct measurement of the vertical HI gas distribution as a function of the galactocentric radius to determine the flaring of the gas disk. For the FF galaxy the Navarro-Frenk-White dark matter distribution provides the best fit to the observed rotation curve. However, the differences with a pseudo-isothermal halo are small. Both models indicate that the core of the dark matter halo is compact. Even though the FF galaxy classifies as superthin, the gas thickness about the galactic centre exhibits a steep flaring of the gas which is in agreement with the edge of the stellar disk. Besides, FF is clearly disrupted towards its north-west-side, clearly observed at both, optical and HI wavelengths. As suggested previously in the literature, the compact dark matter halo might be the main responsible for the superthin structure of the stellar disk in FF. This idea is strengthened through the detection of the mentioned disruption; the fact that the galaxy is disturbed also seems to support the idea that it is not isolation that cause its superthin structure.

- The Fourth BATSE Burst Revised Catalog
- Short Name:
- IX/20A
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- This is the fourth catalogue of the BATSE instrument on board of the Compton Gamma-ray Observatory (CGRO), launched on April 5, 1991. It contains the locations and times for 1637 triggered gamma-ray bursts (nominal energy range 50-300keV) observed from 19 April, 1991 until 29 August, 1996. This 4Br version has been revised from the version first circulated on CD-ROM in September 1997 (4B, file "4b.dat") to include improved locations for a subset of bursts that have been reprocessed using additional data. The Interplanetary Network (IPN) localization information for 147 gamma-ray bursts observed by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment between the end of the Third BATSE catalog and the end of the Fourth BATSE catalog, obtained by analyzing the arrival times of these bursts at the Ulysses and Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) spacecraft. are included in the table "ulysses.dat". Bursts found later (1607 triggers until 9 September 2000) are included in the file "grb.dat"; the data related to these events (those having a TrigNo>=5589) should be considered as preliminary. The Exposure table and Trigger Criteria tables are not included here; please consult the statistical results on the BATSE pages (http://gammaray.msfc.nasa.gov/batse/)

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present the fourth in a series of catalogs of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed with Fermi's Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM). It extends the six year catalog by four more years, now covering the 10yr time period from trigger enabling on 2008 July 12 to 2018 July 11. During this time period GBM triggered almost twice a day on transient events, 2356 of which we identified as cosmic GRBs. Additional trigger events were due to solar flare events, magnetar burst activities, and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes. The intention of the GBM GRB catalog series is to provide updated information to the community on the most important observables of the GBM-detected GRBs. For each GRB the location and main characteristics of the prompt emission, the duration, peak flux, and fluence are derived. The latter two quantities are calculated for the 50-300keV energy band, where the maximum energy release of GRBs in the instrument reference system is observed and also for a broader energy band from 10-1000keV, exploiting the full energy range of GBM's low-energy detectors. Furthermore, information is given on the settings of the triggering criteria and exceptional operational conditions during years 7 to 10 in the mission. This fourth catalog is an official product of the Fermi-GBM science team, and the data files containing the complete results are available from the High-Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center.

- Short Name:
- UCAC4
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive
- Description:
- UCAC4 is a compiled, all-sky star catalog covering mainly the 8 to 16 magnitude range in a single bandpass between V and R. Positional errors are about 15 to 20 mas for stars in the 10 to 14 mag range. Proper motions have been derived for most of the about 113 million stars utilizing about 140 other star catalogs with significant epoch difference to the UCAC CCD observations. These data are supplemented by 2MASS photometric data for about 110 million stars and 5-band (B,V,g,r,i) photometry from the APASS (AAVSO Photometric All-Sky Survey) for over 50 million stars. UCAC4 also contains error estimates and various flags. All bright stars not observed with the astrograph have been added to UCAC4 from a set of Hipparcos and Tycho-2 stars. Thus UCAC4 should be complete from the brightest stars to about R=16, with the source of data indicated in flags.

- Description:
- An increasing number of high-resolution stellar spectra is available today thanks to many past and ongoing spectroscopic surveys. Consequently, numerous methods have been developed to perform an automatic spectral analysis on a massive amount of data. When reviewing published results, biases arise and they need to be addressed and minimized. We are providing a homogeneous library with a common set of calibration stars (known as the Gaia FGK benchmark stars) that will allow us to assess stellar analysis methods and calibrate spectroscopic surveys. High-resolution and signal-to-noise spectra were compiled from different instruments. We developed an automatic process to homogenize the observed data and assess the quality of the resulting library.

- Publisher:
- The GAVO DC team
- Description:
- This is a clean and well characterised catalogue of objects within 100pc of the Sun from the Gaia early third data release. We characterise the catalogue using the full data release, and comparisons to other catalogues in literature and simulations. For all candidates (measured parallax < 8 mas), we calculate a distance probability function using Bayesian procedures and mock catalogues for the prediction of the priors. For each entry using a random forest classifier we attempt to remove sources with spurious astrometric solutions. This results in 331312 objects that should contain at least 92% of stars within 100 pc at spectral type M9. GCNS comes with several auxiliary tables, in particular lists of resolved stellar systems, of known neary stars not found in eDR3 and of candidates of Hyades and ComaBer cluster members.
