- Description:
- The WiggleZ Project Data Archive. The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey is a survey of 240,000 emission-line galaxies measured with the AAOmega spectrograph of the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). The aim of the survey is to measure the scale of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) imprinted on the spatial distribution of these galaxies. The survey will sample a volume of 1 Gpc3 over an area on the sky of 1000 square degrees with an average target density of 350 galaxies per square degree. The survey commenced in August 2006 and was completed in January 2011.

- Description:
- With the launch of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), a new era of detecting planetary debris and brown dwarfs (BDs) around white dwarfs (WDs) has begun with the WISE InfraRed Excesses around Degenerates (WIRED) Survey. The WIRED Survey is sensitive to substellar objects and dusty debris around WDs out to distances exceeding 100pc, well beyond the completeness level of local WDs. In this paper, we present a cross-correlation of the preliminary Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) WD catalog between the WISE, Two-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS), and SDSS DR7 photometric catalogs. From ~18000 input targets, there are WISE detections comprising 344 "naked" WDs (detection of the WD photosphere only), 1020 candidate WD+M dwarf binaries, 42 candidate WD+BD systems, 52 candidate WD+dust disk systems, and 69 targets with indeterminate infrared excess. We classified all of the detected targets through spectral energy distribution model fitting of the merged optical, near-IR, and WISE photometry. Some of these detections could be the result of contaminating sources within the large (~6") WISE point-spread function; we make a preliminary estimate for the rates of contamination for our WD+BD and WD+disk candidates and provide notes for each target of interest.

- Description:
- We present two large catalogs of active galactic nucleus (AGN) candidates identified across 30,093deg^2^ of extragalactic sky from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer's AllWISE Data Release. Both catalogs are selected purely using the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) W1 and W2 bands. The R90 catalog consists of 4,543,530 AGN candidates with 90% reliability, while the C75 catalog consists of 20,907,127 AGN candidates with 75% completeness. These reliability and completeness figures were determined from a detailed analysis of UV- to near-IR spectral energy distributions of ~10^5^ sources in the 9deg^2^ Bootes field. The AGN selection criteria are based on those of Assef+ (2013, J/ApJ/772/26) recalibrated to the AllWISE data release. We provide a detailed discussion of potential artifacts and excise portions of the sky close to the Galactic Center, Galactic Plane, nearby galaxies, and other expected contaminating sources. These catalogs are expected to enable a broad range of science, and we present a few illustrative cases. From the R90 sample, we identify 45 highly variable AGNs lacking radio counterparts in the FIRST survey. One of these sources, WISEA J142846.71+172353.1, is a changing-look quasar at z=0.104, which has changed from having broad H{alpha} to being a narrow-lined AGN. We characterize our catalogs by comparing them to large, wide-area AGN catalogs in the literature. We identify four ROSAT X-ray sources that are each matched to three WISE-selected AGNs in the R90 sample within 30". Spectroscopy reveals that one of these systems, 2RXS J150158.6+691029, consists of a triplet of quasars at z=1.133+/-0.004, suggestive of a rich group or forming galaxy cluster.

- The WISE catalog of Galactic HII regions

- Description:
- Using data from the all-sky Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite, we made a catalog of over 8000 Galactic HII regions and HII region candidates by searching for their characteristic mid-infrared (MIR) morphology. WISE has sufficient sensitivity to detect the MIR emission from H II regions located anywhere in the Galactic disk. We believe this is the most complete catalog yet of regions forming massive stars in the Milky Way. Of the ~8000 cataloged sources, ~1500 have measured radio recombination line (RRL) or H{alpha} emission, and are thus known to be H II regions. This sample improves on previous efforts by resolving H II region complexes into multiple sources and by removing duplicate entries. There are ~2500 candidate H II regions in the catalog that are spatially coincident with radio continuum emission. Our group's previous RRL studies show that ~95% of such targets are H II regions. We find that ~500 of these candidates are also positionally associated with known H II region complexes, so the probability of their being bona fide H II regions is even higher. At the sensitivity limits of existing surveys, ~4000 catalog sources show no radio continuum emission. Using data from the literature, we find distances for ~1500 catalog sources, and molecular velocities for ~1500H II region candidates.

- Description:
- The Westerbork In the Southern Hemishpere (WISH) is a low-frequency (352MHz) radio survey that covers most of the sky between -25 and -15 degrees (1.60sr) at a wavelength of 92cm to a limiting flux density of approximately 18mJy (5sigma). Due to the very low elevation of the observations, the survey has a much lower resolution in declination than in right ascension (54"x54"cosec{delta}). A correlation with the 1.4GHz NVSS (VIII/65) shows that the positional accuracy is less constrained in declination than in right ascension, but there is no significant systematic error. The correlation with the NVSS was also used to construct a sample of faint Ultra Steep Spectrum sources (file uss.dat, table 2 of the paper). This sample is aimed at increasing the number of known high redshift radio galaxies to allow detailed follow-up studies of these massive galaxies and their environments in the early Universe. WISH is a collaboration between the Netherlands Foundation for Research in Astronomy (NFRA/ASTRON) and the Leiden Observatory.

- Description:
- The WMAP mission has mapped the full sky to determine the geometry, content, and evolution of the universe. Full-sky maps are made in five microwave frequency bands to separate the temperature anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from foreground emission, including diffuse Galactic emission and Galactic and extragalactic point sources. We define masks that excise regions of high foreground emission, so CMB analyses can be carried out with minimal foreground contamination. We also present maps and spectra of the individual emission components, leading to an improved understanding of Galactic astrophysical processes.

- CDS
- Description:
- Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are evolved massive stars, and the relative number of WC-type and WN-type WRs should vary with metallicity, providing a sensitive test of stellar evolutionary theory. The observed WC/WN ratio is much higher than that predicted by theory in some galaxies but this could be due to observational incompleteness for WN types, which have weaker lines. Previous studies of M33's WR content show a galactocentric gradient in the relative numbers of WCs and WNs, but only small regions have been surveyed with sufficient sensitivity to detect all of the WNs. Here, we present a sensitive survey for WRs covering all of M33, finding 55 new WRs, mostly of WN type. Our spectroscopy also improves the spectral types of many previously known WRs, establishing in one case that the star is actually a background quasar. The total number of spectroscopically confirmed WRs in M33 is 206, a number we argue is complete to ~5%, with most WRs residing in OB associations, although ~2% are truly isolated.

- Description:
- We present a deep 92cm survey down to 4.5mJy (5{sigma}) carried out with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) of a field in Lynx, previously observed at three other radio frequencies: 6, 21, and 49cm. The observations, totalising 4*12h were made in the redundancy mode, which makes it possible to achieve a high dynamic range. In total, 384 sources above a 5{sigma} peak flux limit were detected, of which 337 form a complete sample.

- Description:
- Observations of the field Lynx 3A, obtained at 21cm with 5{sigma} peak flux 85{mu}Jy using the 3-km array of the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope for 16x12h periods during 1984, are reported. Details of the observations and the data reduction are given, and the results are presented in extensive tables and maps. A complete sample of 321 objects within the 0.5{deg} attenuation radius is selected from the 349 objects detected above 85{mu}Jy, and the 1.412GHz source counts down to 100{mu}Jy are found to be in good agreement with VLA surveys of similar depth. The median angular size of sources with total flux density between 350{mu}Jy and 10mJy is shown to be less than 10arcsec.
