- Description:
- We present a database of UV-to-FIR data of 83 nearby starburst galaxies. The galaxies are selected based upon the availability of IUE data. We have recalibrated the IUE UV spectra for these galaxies by incorporating the most recent improvements. For 45 of these galaxies we use observations by Storchi-Bergmann et al. (1995ApJS...98..103S) and McQuade et al. (1995ApJS...97..331M) for the spectra in the optical range. The NIR data are from new observations obtained at the NASA/IRTF and the Mount Laguna Observatory, combined with the published results from observations at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. In addition, published calibrated ISO data are included to provide mid-IR flux densities for some of the galaxies. The optical-to-IR data are matched as closely as possible to the IUE large aperture. In conjunction with IRAS and ISO FIR flux densities, all these data form a set of observed spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the nuclear regions of nearby starburst galaxies. The SEDs should be useful in studying star formation and dust/gas attenuation in galaxies. We also present the magnitudes in the standard BVRI and various HST/WFPC2 bandpasses synthesized from the UV and optical wavelength ranges of these SEDs. For some of the galaxies, the HST/WFPC2 magnitudes synthesized from the SEDs are checked with those directly measured from WFPC2 images to test the photometric errors of the optical data and their effective matching of apertures with the UV data. The implications of the new SEDs on the star formation rates and dust/gas attenuation are briefly discussed.

- Description:
- We compute the properties of a sample of 221 local, early-type galaxies with a spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling software, CIGALEMC. Concentrating on the star-forming (SF) activity and dust contents, we derive parameters such as the specific star formation rate (sSFR), the dust luminosity, dust mass, and temperature. In our sample, 52% is composed of elliptical (E) galaxies and 48% of lenticular (S0) galaxies. We find a larger proportion of S0 galaxies among galaxies with a large sSFR and large specific dust emission. The stronger activity of S0 galaxies is confirmed by larger dust masses. We investigate the relative proportion of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and SF galaxies in our sample using spectroscopic Sloan Digital Sky Survey data and near-infrared selection techniques, and find a larger proportion of AGN-dominated galaxies in the S0 sample than the E one. This could corroborate a scenario where blue galaxies evolve into red ellipticals by passing through an S0 AGN active period while quenching its star formation. Finally, we find a good agreement comparing our estimates with color indicators.

- Description:
- We present a comprehensive study on the impact of the environment of compact galaxy groups on the evolution of their members using a multi-wavelength analysis, from the UV to the infrared, for a sample of 32 Hickson compact groups (HCGs) containing 135 galaxies. Fitting the SEDs of all galaxies with the state-of-the-art model of da Cunha (2008MNRAS.388.1595D) we can accurately calculate their mass, SFR, and extinction, as well as estimate their infrared luminosity and dust content. We compare our findings with samples of field galaxies, early-stage interacting pairs, and cluster galaxies with similar data. We find that classifying the groups as dynamically "old" or "young", depending on whether or not at least one quarter of their members are early-type systems, is physical and consistent with past classifications of HCGs based on their atomic gas content. Dynamically "old" groups are more compact and display higher velocity dispersions than "young" groups. Late-type galaxies in dynamically "young" groups have specific star formation rates (sSFRs), NUV-r, and mid-infrared colors which are similar to those of field and early stage interacting pair spirals. Late-type galaxies in dynamically "old" groups have redder NUV-r colors, as they have likely experienced several tidal encounters in the past building up their stellar mass, and display lower sSFRs. We identify several late-type galaxies which have sSFRs and colors similar to those of elliptical galaxies, since they lost part of their gas due to numerous interactions with other group members. Also, 25% of the elliptical galaxies in these groups have bluer UV/optical colors than normal ellipticals in the field, probably due to star formation as they accreted gas from other galaxies of the group, or via merging of dwarf companions. Finally, our SED modeling suggests that in 13 groups, 10 of which are dynamically "old", there is diffuse cold dust in the intragroup medium. All this evidence point to an evolutionary scenario in which the effects of the group environment and the properties of the galaxy members are not instantaneous. Early on, the influence of close companions to group galaxies is similar to the one of galaxy pairs in the field. However, as the time progresses, the effects of tidal torques and minor merging, shape the morphology and star formation history of the group galaxies, leading to an increase of the fraction of early-type members and a rapid built up of the stellar mass in the remaining late-type galaxies.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present space-based ultraviolet/optical photometry and spectroscopy with the Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope (HST), respectively, along with ground-based optical photometry and spectroscopy and near-infrared spectroscopy of supernova SN 2017erp. The optical light curves and spectra are consistent with a normal SN Ia. Compared to previous photometric samples in the near-ultraviolet (NUV), SN 2017erp has UV colors that are redder than NUV-blue SNe Ia corrected to similar optical colors. The chromatic difference between SNe 2011fe and 2017erp is dominated by the intrinsic differences in the UV rather than the expected dust reddening. This chromatic difference is similar to the SALT2 color law, derived from rest-frame ultraviolet photometry of higher redshift SNe Ia. Differentiating between intrinsic UV diversity and dust reddening can have important consequences for determining cosmological distances with rest-frame ultraviolet photometry. This ultraviolet spectroscopic series is the first from HST of a normal, albeit reddened, NUV-red SN Ia and is important for analyzing SNe Ia with intrinsically redder NUV colors. We show model comparisons suggesting that metallicity could be the physical difference between NUV-blue and NUV-red SNe Ia, with emission peaks from reverse fluorescence near 3000{AA} implying a factor of ~10 higher metallicity in the upper layers of SN 2017erp compared to SN 2011fe. Metallicity estimates are very model dependent, however, and there are multiple effects in the UV. Further models and UV spectra of SNe Ia are needed to explore the diversity of SNe Ia, which show seemingly independent differences in the near-UV peaks and mid-UV flux levels.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present panchromatic observations and modeling of the Calcium-rich supernova (SN) 2019ehk in the star-forming galaxy M100 (d~16.2Mpc) starting 10hr after explosion and continuing for ~300days. SN 2019ehk shows a double-peaked optical light curve peaking at t=3 and 15days. The first peak is coincident with luminous, rapidly decaying Swift-XRT-discovered X-ray emission (L_x_~10^41^erg/s at 3days; Lx{propto}t^-3^), and a Shane/Kast spectral detection of narrow H{alpha} and HeII emission lines (v~500km/s) originating from pre-existent circumstellar material (CSM). We attribute this phenomenology to radiation from shock interaction with extended, dense material surrounding the progenitor star at r<10^15^cm and the resulting cooling emission. We calculate a total CSM mass of ~7x10^-3^M_{sun}_ (M_He_/M_H_~6) with particle density n~10^9^cm^-3^. Radio observations indicate a significantly lower density n<10^4^cm^-3^ at larger radii r>(0.1-1)x10^17^cm. The photometric and spectroscopic properties during the second light-curve peak are consistent with those of Ca-rich transients (rise-time of t_r_=13.4!+/-0.210days and a peak B-band magnitude of M_B_=-15.1+/-0.200mag). We find that SN 2019ehk synthesized (3.1+/-0.11)x10^-2^M_{sun}_ of ^56^Ni and ejected M_ej_=(0.72+/-0.040)M_{sun}_ total with a kinetic energy E_k_=(1.8+/-0.10)x10^50^erg. Finally, deep HST pre-explosion imaging at the SN site constrains the parameter space of viable stellar progenitors to massive stars in the lowest mass bin (~10M_{sun}_) in binaries that lost most of their He envelope or white dwarfs (WDs). The explosion and environment properties of SN 2019ehk further restrict the potential WD progenitor systems to low-mass hybrid HeCO WD+CO WD binaries.

- Description:
- We present detailed studies of the partially obscured quasar 2MASSJ151653.23+190048.2 with continuous broadband spectrophotometry from near-infrared (NIR) through optical to ultraviolet (UV). The NIR and optical spectra show strong broad emission lines, while the UV spectrum is dominated by a set of rich intermediate-width emission lines (IELs). These IELs, unshifted with respect to the quasar systemic velocity measured by narrow emission lines, share a common profile of about 1900km/s in FWHM, in contrast to the Balmer and Paschen broad emission lines of FWHM ~6300km/s observed in the optical and NIR. The intermediate width of these lines indicates that the emitting gas may come from the dusty torus region. However, the observed peculiar IEL intensity ratios, such as NV{lambda}1240/Ly{alpha}, indicate that the emitting gas has a very high density, up to ~10^13^cm^-3^. Such a high density is unusual for gas around the dusty torus region, except that we consider mechanisms such as shocks that can produce local ultradense gas. We speculate that these emission lines could originate from the shock region, possibly induced by the quasar outflow colliding with the inner wall of the dusty torus. If true, this may give us an opportunity to peep at the quasar outflows at the scale of the dusty torus that have so far been elusive due to the limited resolving powers of existing facilities.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a multifrequency dataset for an optically-selected, volume-limited, complete sample of 118 late-type galaxies (>=S0a) in the Virgo cluster. The database includes UV, visible, near-IR, mid-IR, far-IR, radio continuum photometric data as well as spectroscopic data of H{alpha}, CO and HI lines, homogeneously reduced, obtained from our own observations or compiled from the literature. Assuming the energy balance between the absorbed stellar light and that radiated in the IR by dust, we calibrate an empirical attenuation law suitable for correcting photometric and spectroscopic data of normal galaxies. The data, corrected for internal extinction, are used to construct the spectral energy distribution (SED) of each individual galaxy, and combined to trace the median SED of galaxies in various classes of morphological type and luminosity.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- High-cadence transient surveys are able to capture supernovae closer to their first light than ever before. Applying analytical models to such early emission, we can constrain the progenitor stars' properties. In this paper, we present observations of SN 2018fif (ZTF18abokyfk). The supernova was discovered close to first light and monitored by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. Early spectroscopic observations suggest that the progenitor of SN 2018fif was surrounded by relatively small amounts of circumstellar material compared to all previous cases. This particularity, coupled with the high-cadence multiple-band coverage, makes it a good candidate to investigate using shock-cooling models. We employ the SOPRANOS code, an implementation of the model by Sapir & Waxman and its extension to early times by Morag et al. Compared with previous implementations, SOPRANOS has the advantage of including a careful account of the limited temporal validity domain of the shock-cooling model as well as allowing usage of the entirety of the early UV data. We find that the progenitor of SN 2018fif was a large red supergiant with a radius of R=744.0_-128.0_^+183.0^R_{sun}_ and an ejected mass of M_ej_=9.3_-5.8_^+0.4^M_{sun}_. Our model also gives information on the explosion epoch, the progenitor's inner structure, the shock velocity, and the extinction. The distribution of radii is double- peaked, with smaller radii corresponding to lower values of the extinction, earlier recombination times, and a better match to the early UV data. If these correlations persist in future objects, denser spectroscopic monitoring constraining the time of recombination, as well as accurate UV observations (e.g., with ULTRASAT), will help break the extinction/radius degeneracy and independently determine both.

- Description:
- As part of a larger effort to study the resolved and composite properties of the giant H II regions in Messier 33, we have analyzed multiband HST/WFPC-2 images of NGC 595 in terms of the ionizing cluster's resolved stellar population. Photometric reductions of the PC images yield 100 stars in the UV image, 272 stars on the U image, 345 stars on the B image, and 561 stars on the V image. A total of 267 stars are common to the U, B, and V images while 86 stars are detected on all 4 images. Although some clustering is evident, the degree of central concentration is less than that seen in 30 Doradus. The resulting U-B vs B-V diagram of the resolved stars is used to determine the reddening of each star. The average reddening derived from this diagram is E(B-V)=0.36+/-0.28mag. The dereddened color-M_V diagram is best fit by a model cluster having an age of 4.5+/-1.0Myr, and hence initial masses no greater than 51M_{sun}_. A total of 13 supergiant stars and 10 candidate WR stars [Drissen et al. (1993AJ....105.1400D), and references therein] are identified with M_V=-5 to -8mag. The remainder are main-sequence O-type (98) and early B-type (>145) stars with M_V=-1 to -6mag. The ratio of WR to O stars is WR/O=0.11+/-0.01, roughly the same as found in the core of 30 Doradus. The resulting luminosity function has a slope of alpha=-0.71. The derived IMF has a slope of Gamma=-1.32+/-0.02 before subtracting a background component, and Gamma=-1.00+/-0.05 after subtracting a background based on photometry of the surrounding WF images. Integration of the derived IMF down to a lower mass limit of 4M_{sun}_ yields a total mass of 7350M_{sun}_, while integration down to 0.1_{Msun}_ yields a total mass of 18000M_{sun}_. The total estimated ionizing luminosity is 5.0x10^50photon/s, roughly half that which is inferred from the Halpha luminosity in this region. This shortfall of ionizing photons can be reconciled by allowing for a spread in the stellar ages, and/or increasing the modeled EUV luminosity of the stars at the inferred cluster age.

- Description:
- A long-standing problem in the study of elliptical galaxies is the far-ultraviolet (FUV) excess in their spectra (also known as UV-upturn, UV rising-branch, UV rising flux, or UVX). While it is now clear that this UV excess is caused by an old population of hot helium-burning stars without large hydrogen-rich envelopes. We have developed an evolutionary population synthesis (EPS) model for the FUV excess of elliptical galaxies based on the binary model of Han et al. (2002MNRAS.336..449H and 2003MNRAS.341..669H) for the formation of hot subdwarfs in our Galaxy. We give the colour evolution of a simple stellar population (SSP) (including binaries) of 10^10^M_{sun}_ for our standard simulation set. We have also compiled a file for the SED evolution, in which the SEDs without binary interactions are also supplied.
