- Description:
- This paper presents an absorption-line study of the multiphase circumgalactic medium (CGM) based on observations of Ly{alpha}, CII, CIV, SiII, SiIII, and SiIV absorption transitions in the vicinities of 195 galaxies at redshift z<0.176. The galaxy sample is established based on a cross-comparison between public galaxy and quasi-stellar object (QSO) survey data and is characterized by a median redshift of <z>=0.041, a median projected distance of <d>=362kpc to the sightline of the background QSO, and a median stellar mass of log(M_star_/M_{sun}_)=9.7+/-1.1. Comparing the absorber features identified in the QSO spectra with known galaxy properties has led to strong constraints for the CGM absorption properties at z<~0.176. First, abundant hydrogen gas is observed out to d~500kpc, well beyond the dark matter halo radius R_h_ of individual galaxies, with a mean covering fraction of ~60 percent. In contrast, no heavy elements are detected at d>~0.7R_h_ from either low-mass dwarfs or high-mass galaxies. The lack of detected heavy elements in low- and high-ionization states suggests that either there exists a chemical enrichment edge at d~0.7R_h_ or gaseous clumps giving rise to the observed absorption lines cannot survive at these large distances. Considering all galaxies at d>R_h_ leads to a strict upper limit for the covering fraction of heavy elements of ~3% (at a 95% confidence level) over d=(1-9)R_h_. At d<R_h_, differential covering fraction between low- and high-ionization gas is observed, suggesting that the CGM becomes progressively more ionized from d<0.3R_h_ to larger distances. Comparing CGM absorption observations at low and high redshifts shows that at a fixed fraction of R_h_ the CGM exhibits stronger mean absorption at z=2.2 than at z~0, and that the distinction is most pronounced in low-ionization species traced by CII and SiII absorption lines. We discuss possible pseudo-evolution of the CGM as a result of misrepresentation of halo radius, and present a brief discussion on the implications of these findings.

- Absorption lines in 21 Lyn A-type star

- Description:
- We present a catalog of absorption lines in the z', Y, and J bands that we identified in 21 Lyn, a slowly rotating A0.5V star. We detected 155 absorption features in the high-resolution (0.90-1.35um, R=28000) spectrum obtained with the WINERED spectrograph after the telluric absorption was carefully removed using a spectrum of a B-type star as a telluric standard. With a visual comparison with synthetic spectra, we compiled a catalog of 219 atomic lines for the 155 features, some of which are composed of multiple fine structure lines. The high-quality WINERED spectrum enabled us to detect a large number of weak lines down to ~1% in depth, which are identified for an A-type star for the first time. The catalog includes the lines of H, C, N, O, Mg, Al, Si, S, Ca, Fe, and Sr. These new lines are expected to be useful for spectral classification and chemical abundance analyses, while the line catalog is useful for observers who plan to use A-type stars as telluric standards because it is necessary to distinguish between stellar lines and telluric absorption lines in high-resolution spectra. ASCII versions of the spectra are available in the online version of the journal.

- Absorption spectrum of SO up to 2.5THz

- Description:
- In order to obtain accurate terahertz center frequencies for SO and its isotopologues, we have studied the absorption spectrum of SO, ^34^SO, and ^33^SO up to 2.5THz using continuous-wave terahertz photomixing based on a frequency comb providing an accuracy down to 10kHz. Sulfur monoxide was produced in a radio frequency discharge of air in a cell containing pure sulfur. Together with the strong absorption signal of the main isotopologue, transitions of ^34^SO (^34^S: 4.21%) and ^33^SO (^33^S: 0.75%) were observed in natural abundance. The newly observed transitions constitute an extension of the observed rotational quantum numbers of the molecule toward higher N values, allowing an improvement of the molecular parameters for the three species. An isotopically invariant fit has been performed based on pure rotational and ro-vibrational transitions of all SO isotopologues, enabling their accurate line position prediction at higher frequencies. Thanks to this new set of parameters, it is now possible to predict with very high accuracy the frequencies of the ro-vibrational lines. This should enable the research of SO in the mid-IR using ground-based IR telescopes, space-based telescope archives (Infrared Space Observatory, Spitzer), and future space missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope. This set of parameters is particularly well adapted for the detection of SO lines in O-rich evolved stars or in molecular clouds in absorption against bright IR sources.

- Description:
- Spectra of the z_em_=3.268 quasar PKS 2126-158 have been obtained in the wavelength range 430-662nm with a resolution R=27000 and an average signal to noise ratio s/n=25 per resolution element. 12 metal absorption systems have been identified, two of which were previously unknown. All the lines shortward of the Lyman{alpha} emission not identified as due to metals have been fitted as Lyman{alpha} and Lyman{beta}. We reported statistical analysis of this sample of lines. In particular, the two-point correlation function for metal systems has been computed.

- Absorption velocities for 21 super-luminous SNe Ic

- Description:
- Super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe) are tremendously luminous explosions whose power sources and progenitors are highly debated. Broad-lined SNe Ic (SNe Ic-bl) are the only type of SNe that are connected with long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Studying the spectral similarity and difference between the populations of hydrogen-poor SLSNe (SLSNe Ic) and of hydrogen-poor stripped-envelope core-collapse SNe, in particular SNe Ic and SNe Ic-bl, can provide crucial observations to test predictions of theories based on various power source models and progenitor models. In this paper, we collected all of the published optical spectra of 32 SLSNe Ic, 21 SNe Ic-bl, as well as 17 SNe Ic, quantified their spectral features, constructed average spectra, and compared them in a systematic way using new tools we have developed. We find that SLSNe Ic and SNe Ic-bl, including those connected with GRBs, have comparable widths for their spectral features and average absorption velocities at all phases. Thus, our findings strengthen the connection between SLSNe Ic and GRBs. In particular, SLSNe Ic have average FeII{lambda}5169 absorption velocities of -15000+/-2600km/s at 10 days after peak, which are higher than those of SNe Ic by ~7000km/s on average. SLSNe Ic also have significantly broader FeII{lambda}5169 lines than SNe Ic. Moreover, we find that such high absorption and width velocities of SLSNe Ic may be hard to explain with the interaction model, and none of the 13 SLSNe Ic with measured absorption velocities spanning over 10 days has a convincing flat velocity evolution, which is inconsistent with the magnetar model in one dimension. Lastly, we compare SN 2011kl, the first SN connected with an ultra-long GRB, with the mean spectrum of SLSNe Ic and of SNe Ic-bl.
