Description:
We present the results of a program to study the detailed morphologies of galaxies in intermediate-redshift clusters and hence understand the physical origin of the enhanced star formation seen in the environments at earlier epochs. Deep, high-resolution imagery has been obtained of three rich clusters, AC 103, AC 118 and AC 114 at z=0.31, through the R (F702W) filter of the Wide Field Planetary Camera (WFPC2) of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

Description:
As one of the most interesting Seyfert 1 galaxies, PG 2130+099 has been the target of several reverberation mapping (RM) campaigns over the years. However, its measured broad H{beta} line responses have been inconsistent, with time lags of ~200days, ~25days, and ~10days being reported for different epochs while its optical luminosity changed no more than 40%. To investigate this issue, we conducted a new RM-campaign with homogenous and high cadence (about ~3days) for two years during 2017-2019 to measure the kinematics and structure of the ionized gas. We successfully detected time lags of broad H{beta}, HeII, HeI, and FeII lines with respect to the varying 5100{AA} continuum, revealing a stratified structure that is likely virialized with Keplerian kinematics in the first year of observations, but an inflow kinematics of the broad-line region from the second year. With a central black hole mass of 0.97_-0.18_^+0.15^x10^7^M_{sun}_, PG2130+099 has an accretion rate of 10^2.1+/-0.5^L_Edd_c^-2^, where L_Edd_ is the Eddington luminosity and c is speed of light, implying that it is a super-Eddington accretor and likely possesses a slim, rather than thin, accretion disk. The fast changes of the ionization structures of the three broad lines remain puzzling.

3600-24700{AA} deep X-shooter spectrum of HH 1

Description:
We present deep spectroscopic (3600-24700{AA}) X-shooter observations of the bright Herbig-Haro object HH 1, one of the best laboratories to study the chemical and physical modifications caused by protostellar shocks on the natal cloud. We observe atomic fine structure lines, HI and HeI recombination lines and H_2_ ro-vibrational lines (more than 500 detections in total). Line emission was analyzed by means of Non-local Thermal Equilibiurm codes to derive the electron temperature and density, and for the first time we are able to accurately probe different physical regimes behind a dissociative shock. We find a temperature stratification in the range 4000K/80000K, and a significant correlation between temperature and ionization energy. Two density regimes are identified for the ionized gas, a more tenuous, spatially broad component (density ~10^3^/cm^3^), and a more compact component (density>=10^5^/cm^3^) likely associated with the hottest gas. A further neutral component is also evidenced, having a temperature <~10000K and a density >10^4^/cm^3^. The gas fractional ionization was estimated by solving the ionization equilibrium equations of atoms detected in different ionization stages. We find that neutral and fully ionized regions co-exist inside the shock. Also, indications in favor of at least partially dissociative shock as the main mechanism for molecular excitation are derived. Chemical abundances are estimated for the majority of the detected species. On average, abundances of non-refractory/refractory elements are lower than solar of about 0.15/0.5dex. This indicates the presence of dust inside the medium, with a depletion factor of iron of ~40%.

Description:
We present an Echelle+CCD high resolution spectroscopic atlas mapping the MKK classification system over the wavelength interval lambda 8500-8750 A, centered on the near-IR triplet of Ca II. Table 2 lists all the 131 program stars with basic informations (magnitudes, coordinates, spectral types, metallicities, rotational velocities, variabilities) and the journal of observations; Table 3 shows our mapping of the MKK scheme in terms of spectral and luminosity classes; Table 4 lists the major un-blended absorption lines which we identified in our spectra

Short Name:
J/A+AS/141/141

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a library of synthetic spectra characterized by -2.5<=[Z/Z_{sun}_]<=+0.5, 4.5<=logg<=1.0, and T_eff_<=7500K computed at the same {lambda}/{Delta}{lambda}=20000 resolving power of the observed spectra given in Paper I (Munari, 1999, Cat. <J/A+AS/137/521>) for 131 standard stars mapping the MKK spectral classification system. This range of parameters includes the majority of the galactic stars expected to dominate the GAIA target population, i.e. F-G-K-M type stars with metallicity ranging from that of the galactic globular clusters to Population I objects. Extension to T_eff_>7500K will be given later on in this series. The 254 synthetic spectra presented here are based on Kurucz's codes and line data and have been computed over a more extended wavelength interval (7650-8750{AA}) than that currently baselined for implementation on GAIA, i.e. the 8500-8750{AA}. This last range is dominated by the near-IR Ca II triplet and the head of the Paschen series. The more extended wavelength range allows us to investigate the behaviour of other strong near-IR spectral features (severely contaminated by telluric absorptions in ground-based observed spectra) as the K I doublet (7664, 7699{AA}), the Na I doublet (8183, 8194{AA}) and the lines of Fe I multiplet N.60 at 8327 and 8388{AA}. The synthetic spectra support our previous conclusions about the superior performance of the Paschen/Ca II 8500-8750{AA} region in meeting the GAIA requirements when compared to other near-IR intervals of similar {Delta}{lambda}=250{AA}.

Description:
In this paper we complete the library of synthetic spectra for the range 7650-8750{AA}, which includes the 8500-8750{AA} interval currently base-lined for the spectroscopic observations by GAIA, candidate ESA Cornerstone 5 mission. As for Paper II (Munari & Castelli, Cat. <J/A+AS/141/141>), the spectra are based on Kurucz's codes and line data. The explored metallicity, gravity and temperature ranges are -2.5<=[Z/Z_{sun}_]<=+0.5, 4.5<=logg<=2.0 and 7750<=T_eff_<=50000K, respectively. The 698 new spectra are computed at the same {lambda}/{Delta}{lambda}=20000 resolving power of the observed spectra given in Paper I (Munari & Castelli, Cat. <J/A+AS/137/521>) (131 standard stars mapping the MKK spectral classification system) and the 254 synthetic spectra of Paper II (characterized by T_eff_<=7500K).

A521 and Cosmic Snake ALMA abd HST images
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We study the spatially resolved physical properties of the Cosmic Snake arc in MACS J1206.2-0847 and the arc in Abell 0521 (A521). These are two strongly lensed galaxies at redshifts z=1.036 and z=1.044. We used observations of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The former gives access to the star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass (M*), and the latter to the H_2_ molecular gas mass (Mmol). HST and ALMA observations have similar angular resolutions of 0.15"-0.2", which with the help of strong gravitational lensing enable us to reach spatial resolutions down to ~30pc and ~100pc in these two galaxies, respectively. These resolutions are close to the resolution of observations of nearby galaxies. We study the radial profiles of SFR, M*, and Mmol surface densities of these high-redshift galaxies and compare the corresponding exponential scale lengths with those of local galaxies. We find that the scale lengths in the Cosmic Snake are about 0.5kpc-1.5kpc, and they are 3 to 10 times larger in A521. This is a significant difference knowing that the two galaxies have comparable integrated properties. These high-redshift scale lengths are nevertheless comparable to those of local galaxies, which cover a wide distribution. The particularity of our high-redshift radial profiles is the normalisation of the Mmol surface density profiles (Sigma Mmol), which are offset by up to a factor of 20 with respect to the profiles of z=0 counterparts. The SFR surface density profiles are also offset by the same factor as {SIGMA}Mmol, as expected from the Kennicutt-Schmidt law.

Title:
15273{AA} near-infrared DIB
Short Name:
J/A+A/628/A67
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The latest SDSS/APOGEE data release DR14 has provided an increased number of stellar spectra in the H band and associated stellar models using an innovative algorithm known as The Cannon. We took advantage of these novelties to extract the 15273{AA} near-infrared DIB and to study its link with dust extinction and emission. We modified our automated fitting methods dedicated for hot stars and used in earlier studies with some adaptations motivated by the change from early- or intermediate-type stars to red giants. A new method has also been developed to quantify the upper limits on DIB strengths. Careful and thorough examinations of the DIB parameters, the continuum shape and the quality of the adjustment of the model to the data were done. We compared our DIB measurements with the stellar extinctions Av from the Starhorse database. We then compared the resulting DIB-extinction ratio with the dust optical depth derived from Planck data, globally and also separately for nearby off-Plane cloud complexes. Our analysis has led to the production of a catalog containing 124 064 new measurements of the 15273{AA} DIB, allowing us to revisit the correlation between DIB strength and dust reddening.
