- Description:
- We present deep near-infrared (NIR) Js-, H-, and Ks-band ISAAC imaging of the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) field of the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S). The 2.5'x2.5' high Galactic latitude field was observed with the Very Large Telescope under the best seeing conditions, with integration times amounting to 33.6hr in Js, 32.3hr in H, and 35.6hr in Ks. We reach total AB magnitudes for point sources of 26.8, 26.2, and 26.2, respectively (3sigma), which make it the deepest ground-based NIR observation to date and the deepest Ks-band data in any field. The effective seeing of the co-added images is ~0.45" in Js, ~0.48" in H, and ~0.46" in Ks. Using published WFPC2 optical data, we constructed a Ks-limited multicolor catalog containing 833 sources down to K^tot^_s,AB_<~26, of which 624 have seven-band optical-to-NIR photometry. These data allow us to select normal galaxies from their rest-frame optical properties to high redshift (z<~4). The observations, data reduction, and properties of the final images are discussed, and we address the detection and photometry procedures that were used in making the catalog. In addition, we present deep number counts, color distributions, and photometric redshifts of the HDF-S galaxies.

- Description:
- We measure near-ultraviolet (NUV) aperture magnitudes from Galaxy Evolution Explorer images for 258 ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) candidates drawn from the initial Systematically Measuring Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies (SMUDGes) survey of ~300 square degrees surrounding, and including, the Coma galaxy cluster. For the vast majority, 242 of them, we present flux upper limits due either to a lack of significant flux in the aperture or confusion with other objects projected within the aperture. These limits often place interesting constraints on the UDG candidates, indicating that they are non-star-forming or quiescent. In particular, we identify field, quiescent UDG candidates, which are a challenge for formation models and are, therefore, compelling prospects for spectroscopic follow-up and distance determinations. We present far-ultraviolet (FUV) and NUV magnitudes for 16 detected UDG candidates and compare those galaxies to the local population of galaxies on color-magnitude and specific star formation rate diagrams. The NUV-detected UDG candidates form mostly an extension toward lower stellar masses of the star-forming galaxy sequence, and none of these lie within regions of high local galaxy density. UDG candidates span a range of properties, although almost all are consistent with being quiescent, low surface brightness galaxies, regardless of environment.

- Description:
- We present the detection of a large population of ultradiffuse galaxies (UDGs) in two massive galaxy clusters, Abell S1063 at z=0.348 and Abell 2744 at z=0.308, based on F814W and F105W images in the Hubble Frontier Fields Program. We find 47 and 40 UDGs in Abell S1063 and Abell 2744, respectively. Color-magnitude diagrams of the UDGs show that they are mostly located at the faint end of the red sequence. From the comparison with simple stellar population models, we estimate their stellar mass to range from 10^8^ to 10^9^M_{sun}_. Radial number density profiles of the UDGs show a turnover or a flattening in the central region at r<100kpc. We estimate the total masses of the UDGs using the galaxy scaling relations. A majority of the UDGs have total masses M_200_=10^10^-10^11^M_{sun}_, and only a few of them have total masses M_200_=10^11^-10^12^M_{sun}_. The total number of UDGs within the virial radius is estimated to be N(UDG)=770+/-114 for Abell S1063 and N(UDG)=814+/-122 for Abell 2744. Combining these results with data in the literature, we fit the relation between the total numbers of UDGs and the masses of their host systems for M_200_>10^13^M_{sun}_ with a power law, N(UDG)=M_200_^1.05+/-0.09^. These results suggest that a majority of the UDGs have a dwarf galaxy origin, while only a small number of the UDGs are massive L* galaxies that failed to form a normal population of stars.

- Description:
- We present new redshift measurements for 19 candidate ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) from the Systematically Measuring Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies (SMUDGes) survey after conducting a long-slit spectroscopic follow-up campaign on 23 candidates with the Large Binocular Telescope. We combine these results with redshift measurements from other sources for 29 SMUDGes and 20 non-SMUDGes candidate UDGs. Together, this sample yields 44 spectroscopically confirmed UDGs (r_e_>=1.5kpc and {mu}_g_(0)>=24mag/arcsec^2^ within uncertainties) and spans cluster and field environments, with all but one projected on the Coma cluster and environs. We find no statistically significant differences in the structural parameters of cluster and noncluster confirmed UDGs, although there are hints of differences among the axis ratio distributions. Similarly, we find no significant structural differences among those in locally dense or sparse environments. However, we observe a significant difference in color with respect to projected clustercentric radius, confirming trends observed previously in statistical UDG samples. This trend strengthens further when considering whether UDGs reside in either cluster or locally dense environments, suggesting starkly different star formation histories for UDGs residing in high- and low-density environments. Of the 16 large (r_e_>=3.5kpc) UDGs in our sample, only one is a field galaxy that falls near the early-type galaxy red sequence. No other field UDGs found in low-density environments fall near the red sequence. This finding, in combination with our detection of Galaxy Evolution Explorer NUV flux in nearly half of the UDGs in sparse environments, suggests that field UDGs are a population of slowly evolving galaxies.

- Description:
- We report the discovery of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in Abell 370 (A370; z=0.375). We find 46 UDGs in A370 from the images of the Hubble Frontier Fields. Most UDGs are low-luminosity red sequence galaxies, while a few of them are blue UDGs. We estimate the abundance of UDGs in A370, N(UDG)=644+/-104. Combining these results with those of Abell S1063 (z=0.348) and Abell 2744 (z=0.308), we derive a mean radial number density profile of UDGs in the three clusters. The number density profiles of UDGs and bright galaxies show a discrepancy in the central region of the clusters: the profile of UDGs shows a flattening as clustercentric distance decreases, while that of bright galaxies shows a continuous increase. This implies that UDGs are prone to disruption in the central region of the clusters. The relation between the abundance of UDGs and virial masses of their host systems is described by a power law with an index of nearly one: N(UDG){propto}M_200_^0.99+/-0.05^ for M_200_>10^13^M_{sun}_. We estimate approximately dynamical masses of UDGs using the fundamental manifold method and find that most UDGs have dwarf-like masses (M_200_<10^11^M_{sun}_). This implies that most UDGs have a dwarf-like origin and a small number of them could be failed L* galaxies. These results suggest that multiple origins may contribute to the formation and evolution of UDGs in massive galaxy clusters.

- Ultra hard X-ray AGNs in the Swift/BAT survey
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/739/57
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We have assembled the largest sample of ultra hard X-ray selected (14-195keV) active galactic nucleus (AGN) with host galaxy optical data to date, with 185 nearby (z<0.05), moderate luminosity AGNs from the Swift BAT sample. The BAT AGN host galaxies have intermediate optical colors (u-r and g-r) that are bluer than a comparison sample of inactive galaxies and optically selected AGNs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) which are chosen to have the same stellar mass. Based on morphological classifications from the RC3 and the Galaxy Zoo, the bluer colors of BAT AGNs are mainly due to a higher fraction of mergers and massive spirals than in the comparison samples. BAT AGNs in massive galaxies (logM*>10.5) have a 5-10 times higher rate of spiral morphologies than in SDSS AGNs or inactive galaxies. We also see enhanced far-infrared emission in BAT AGN suggestive of higher levels of star formation compared to the comparison samples. BAT AGNs are preferentially found in the most massive host galaxies with high concentration indexes indicative of large bulge-to-disk ratios and large supermassive black holes. The narrow-line (NL) BAT AGNs have similar intrinsic luminosities as the SDSS NL Seyferts based on measurements of [OIII]5007. There is also a correlation between the stellar mass and X-ray emission. The BAT AGNs in mergers have bluer colors and greater ultra hard X-ray emission compared to the BAT sample as a whole.

- Description:
- Ultra-hot Jupiters offer interesting prospects for expanding our theories on dynamical evolution and the properties of extremely irradiated atmospheres. In this context, we present the analysis of new optical spectroscopy for the transiting ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-121b. We first refine the orbital properties of WASP-121b, which is on a nearly polar (obliquity Psi^North^=88.1+/-0.25{deg} or Psi^South^=91.11+/-0.20{deg}) orbit, and exclude a high differential rotation for its fast-rotating (P<1.13-days), highly inclined (i*^North_=8.1^+3.0^_-2.6_{deg} or i*_South_=171.9^+2.5^_-3.4_{deg}) star. We then present a new method that exploits the reloaded Rossiter-McLaughlin technique to separate the contribution of the planetary atmosphere and of the spectrum of the stellar surface along the transit chord. Its application to HARPS transit spectroscopy of WASP-121b reveals the absorption signature from metals, likely atomic iron, in the planet atmospheric limb. The width of the signal (14.3+/-1.2km/s) can be explained by the rotation of the tidally locked planet. Its blueshift (-5.2+/-0.5km/s) could trace strong winds from the dayside to the nightside, or the anisotropic expansion of the planetary thermosphere.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) are interesting objects with dramatic properties. Many efforts have been made to understand the physics of their luminous infrared emission and evolutionary stages. However, a large ULIRG sample is still needed to study the properties of their central black holes (BHs), the BH-host galaxy relation, and their evolution. We identified 308 ULIRGs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6, and classified them into the NL ULIRGs (with only narrow emission lines) and the Type I ULIRGs (with broad emission lines). About 56% of ULIRGs in our total sample show interaction features, and this percentage is 79% for redshift z<0.2. Optical identifications of these ULIRGs show that the active galactic nucleus percentage is at least 49%, and the percentage increases with the infrared luminosity. We found 62 Type I ULIRGs, and estimated their BH masses and velocity dispersions from their optical spectra. Together with known Type I ULIRGs in the literature, a sample of 90 Type I ULIRGs enables us to make a statistical study.

- Description:
- We present a new, large sample of ultraluminous (L_60_>10^11.4^L_{sun}_ for H_0_=100km/s/Mpc) IRAS galaxies selected for the IRAS Faint Source Survey using a novel optical far-infrared colour selection criterion. Our technique proves to be very successful in selecting luminous galaxies, and we present data on 91 ultraluminous objects, of which 65 are newly discovered. Using our redshift spectra and information from the literature we find that at least 35% of these objects are likely to contain an AGN-type central engine. We also find that purely IR-based techniques for determining the presence of an AGN in these objects are unreliable.

- Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources in External Galaxies Catalog
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table is a catalog of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in external galaxies, where ULXs have been defined as compact, off-nuclear X-ray sources with X-ray luminosities in the range of 10<sup>39</sup> - 10<sup>41</sup> erg/s. The aim of this catalog is to provide easy access to the properties of ULXs, their possible counterparts at other wavelengths (optical, IR, and radio), and the properties of their host galaxies. The catalog contains 229 ULXs found in 85 galaxies which had been reported in the astronomy literature as of April 2004. Most ULXs are stellar-mass-black hole X-ray binaries, but it cannot be excluded that some ULXs might be intermediate-mass black holes. A small fraction of the candidate ULXs might be background Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) or Supernova Remnants (SNRs). ULXs with luminosity above 10<sup>40</sup> erg/s are found in both starburst galaxies and in the halos of early-type galaxies. Some notes on individual galaxies and/or ULXs in this catalog can be found in the file <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/429/1125/notes.dat">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/429/1125/notes.dat</a> which is available at the CDS. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2005, based on CDS tables J/A+A/429/1125/table1a.dat and table1b.dat. It was updated in September 2012 to correct an error in the declination signs of the NGC 253 objects. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
