51. AKARI-LMC Point-source catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/144/179
Title:
AKARI-LMC Point-source catalog
Short Name:
J/AJ/144/179
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a near- to mid-infrared point-source catalog of five photometric bands at 3.2, 7, 11, 15, and 24{mu}m for a 10deg^2^ area of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) obtained with the Infrared Camera on board the AKARI satellite. To cover the survey area the observations were carried out at three separate seasons from 2006 May to June, 2006 October to December, and 2007 March to July. The 10{sigma} limiting magnitudes of the present survey are 17.9, 13.8, 12.4, 9.9, and 8.6mag at 3.2, 7, 11, 15, and 24{mu}m, respectively. The photometric accuracy is estimated to be about 0.1mag at 3.2{mu}m and 0.06-0.07 mag in the other bands. The position accuracy is 0.3" at 3.2, 7, and 11{mu}m and 1.0" at 15 and 24{mu}m. The sensitivities at 3.2, 7, and 24{mu}m are roughly comparable to those of the Spitzer SAGE LMC point-source catalog, while the AKARI catalog provides the data at 11 and 15 {mu}m, covering the mid-infrared spectral range contiguously. Two types of catalog are provided: a Catalog and an Archive. The Archive contains all the detected sources, while the Catalog only includes the sources that have a counterpart in the Spitzer SAGE point-source catalog. The Archive contains about 650,000, 140,000, 97,000, 43,000, and 52,000 sources at 3.2, 7, 11, 15, and 24{mu}m, respectively. Based on the catalog, we discuss the luminosity functions at each band, the color-color diagram, and the color-magnitude diagram using the 3.2, 7, and 11{mu}m band data. Stars without circumstellar envelopes, dusty C-rich and O-rich stars, young stellar objects, and background galaxies are located at distinct regions in the diagrams, suggesting that the present catalog is useful for the classification of objects toward the LMC.

Description:
The AKARI (formerly Astro-F) mission is a Japanese second generation all-sky infrared survey mission. SkyView currently includes surveys from the four bands of the FIS instrument: N60, WIDE-S, WIDE-L and N160. <p> These surveys cover 99% of the sky in four photometric bands centred at 65μm, 90μm, 140μm, and 160μm, with spatial resolutions ranging from 1-1.5'. <p> These data provide crucial information on the investigation and characterisation of the proper- ties of dusty material in the interstellar medium (ISM), since a significant portion of its energy is emitted between ∼50 and 200 μm. The large-scale distribution of interstellar clouds, their thermal dust temperatures, and their column densities can be investigated with the improved spatial resolution compared to earlier all-sky survey observations. In addition to the point source distribution, the large-scale distribution of ISM cirrus emis- sion, and its filamentary structure, are well traced. <p> Data are obtained using using the <a href="https://jvo.nao.ac.jp/index-e.html">JVO</a> AKARI Simple Image Access Service. Provenance: AKARI FIS map making team [Univ of Tokyo, ISAS/JAXA, Tohoku Univ, Tsukuba Univ, The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, The Open Univ]. This is a service of NASA HEASARC.

Title:
AKARI NEP field J- and H- band source catalog
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the J- and H-band source catalog covering the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole field. Filling the gap between the optical data from other follow-up observations and mid-infrared (MIR) data from AKARI, our near-infrared (NIR) data provides contiguous wavelength coverage from optical to MIR. For the J- and H-band imaging, we used the FLoridA Multi-object Imaging Near-ir Grism Observational Spectrometer on the Kitt Peak National Observatory 2.1m telescope covering a 5.1deg^2^ area down to a 5{sigma} depth of ~21.6mag and ~21.3mag (AB) for the J and H bands with an astrometric accuracy of 0.14" and 0.17" for 1{sigma} in R.A. and decl. directions, respectively. We detected 208020 sources for the J band and 203832 sources for the H band. This NIR data is being used for studies including the analysis of the physical properties of infrared sources such as stellar mass and photometric redshifts, and will be a valuable data set for various future missions.
54. A K-selected catalog of the ECDFS from MUSYC

Title:
A K-selected catalog of the ECDFS from MUSYC
Short Name:
J/ApJS/183/295
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a new, K-selected, optical-to-near infrared photometric catalog of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS), making it publicly available to the astronomical community. The data set is founded on publicly available imaging, supplemented by original z'JK imaging data collected as part of the MUltiwavelength Survey by Yale-Chile (MUSYC). The final photometric catalog consists of photometry derived from UU_38_BVRIz'JK imaging covering the full 1/2x1/2{deg} of the ECDFS, plus H-band photometry for approximately 80% of the field. The 5{sigma} flux limit for point sources is K^(AB)^_tot_=22.0. This is also the nominal completeness and reliability limit of the catalog: the empirical completeness for 21.75<K<22.00 is >~85%. We have verified the quality of the catalog through both internal consistency checks, and comparisons to other existing and publicly available catalogs. As well as the photometric catalog, we also present catalogs of photometric redshifts and rest-frame photometry derived from the 10-band photometry. We have collected robust spectroscopic redshift determinations from published sources for 1966 galaxies in the catalog. Based on these sources, we have achieved a (1{sigma}) photometric redshift accuracy of {Delta}z/(1+z)=0.036, with an outlier fraction of 7.8%. Most of these outliers are X-ray sources. Finally, we describe and release a utility for interpolating rest-frame photometry from observed spectral energy distributions, dubbed InterRest available via http://www.strw.leidenuniv.nl/~ent/InterRest
55. ALFALFA extragalactic HI source catalog

Title:
ALFALFA extragalactic HI source catalog
Short Name:
J/ApJ/861/49
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the catalog of ~31500 extragalactic HI line sources detected by the completed Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey out to z<0.06, including both high signal-to-noise ratio (>6.5) detections and ones of lower quality that coincide in both position and recessional velocity with galaxies of known redshift. We review the observing technique, data reduction pipeline, and catalog construction process, focusing on details of particular relevance to understanding the catalog's compiled parameters. We further describe and make available the digital HI line spectra associated with the cataloged sources. In addition to the extragalactic HI line detections, we report nine confirmed OH megamasers (OHMs) and 10 OHM candidates at 0.16<z<0.22 whose OH line signals are redshifted into the ALFALFA frequency band. Because of complexities in data collection and processing associated with the use of a feed-horn array on a complex single-dish antenna in the terrestrial radio frequency interference environment, we also present a list of suggestions and caveats for consideration by users of the ALFALFA extragalactic catalog for future scientific investigations.
56. ALFALFA survey: the {alpha}.40 HI source catalog

Title:
ALFALFA survey: the {alpha}.40 HI source catalog
Short Name:
J/AJ/142/170
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a current catalog of 21cm HI line sources extracted from the Arecibo Legacy Fast Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFALFA) survey over ~2800deg^2^ of sky: the {alpha}.40 catalog. Covering 40% of the final survey area, the {alpha}.40 catalog contains 15855 sources in the regions 07h30m<RA<16h30m, +04{deg}<DEC<+16{deg}, and +24{deg}<DEC<+28{deg} and 22h<RA<03h, +14{deg}<DEC<+16{deg}, and +24{deg}<DEC<+32{deg}. Of those, 15041 are certainly extragalactic, yielding a source density of 5.3 galaxies per deg^2^, a factor of 29 improvement over the catalog extracted from the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey. In addition to the source centroid positions, HI line flux densities, recessional velocities, and line widths, the catalog includes the coordinates of the most probable optical counterpart of each HI line detection, and a separate compilation provides a cross-match to identifications given in the photometric and spectroscopic catalogs associated with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. Fewer than 2% of the extragalactic HI line sources cannot be identified with a feasible optical counterpart; some of those may be rare OH megamasers at 0.16<z<0.25. A detailed analysis is presented of the completeness, width-dependent sensitivity function and bias inherent of the {alpha}.40 catalog. The impact of survey selection, distance errors, current volume coverage, and local large-scale structure on the derivation of the HI mass function is assessed.

Title:
ALFA-ZOA precursor observation
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA) is being used to conduct a low-Galactic latitude survey, to map the distribution of galaxies and large-scale structures behind the Milky Way through detection of galaxies' neutral hydrogen (HI) 21cm emission. This Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) survey finds new HI galaxies which lie hidden behind the Milky Way, and also provides redshifts for partially obscured galaxies known at other wavelengths. Before the commencement of the full survey, two low-latitude precursor regions were observed, totaling 138deg^2^, with 72 HI galaxies detected. Detections through the inner Galaxy generally have no cataloged counterparts in any other waveband, due to the heavy extinction and stellar confusion. Detections through the outer Galaxy are more likely to have Two Micron All Sky Survey counterparts. We present the results of these precursor observations, including a catalog of the detected galaxies, with their HI parameters.
58. ALFAZOA Shallow Survey galaxy properties

Title:
ALFAZOA Shallow Survey galaxy properties
Short Name:
J/AJ/158/234
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Arecibo L-band Feed Array Zone of Avoidance (ALFAZOA) Shallow Survey is a blind H I survey of the extragalactic sky behind the northern Milky Way conducted with the ALFA receiver on the 305 m Arecibo Radio Telescope. ALFAZOA Shallow covered 900 square degrees at full sensitivity from 30{deg}=<l=<75{deg} and |b|=<10{deg} and an additional 460 square degrees at limited sensitivity at latitudes up to 20{deg}. It has an rms sensitivity of 5-7 mJy and a velocity resolution of 9-20.6 km/s, and detected 403 galaxies out to a recessional velocity of 12000 km/s, with an angular resolution of 3.4' and a positional accuracy between 0.2' and 1.7'. The survey is complete above an integrated line flux of F_HI_=2.0 Jy km/s for half the survey, and above F_HI_= 2.8 Jy km/s for the other half. Of the ALFAZOA H I detections, 43% have at least one possible optical/near-infrared counterpart in the literature, and an additional 16% have counterparts that only included previous H I measurements. There are fewer counterparts in regions of high extinction and for galaxies with lower H I mass. Comparing the results of the survey to the predictions of Erdogdu et al. (2006MNRAS.373...45E), and using their nomenclature, ALFAZOA confirms the position and extent in the ZOA of the C7, C{zeta}, Pegasus, Corona Borealis, and Delphinus structures, but not of the Cygnus void. Two new structures are identified, both connected to the C7 overdensity; one extends to 35{deg}, and the other crosses the ZOA.

Title:
Algiers AC Zone Data Reduced to ACRS
Short Name:
I/223
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The U.S. Naval Observatory is in the process of making new reductions of the Astrographic Catalogue (AC) using a modern reference system, the ACRS, which represents the system of the FK5. The data from the Algiers Zone, whose plates are centered between declinations -2 and +4 degrees (eq. 1900), have been analyzed for scale, rotation, tilt, coma, magnitude equation, radial distortion and distortions introduced by the use of reseaux in the Carte du Ciel program. The result is a positional catalog of over 199,000 stars on eq. J2000.0, epoch of observation. The plate were exposed between 1891 and 1912. For cross-identification purposes, all stars have been matched with the Tycho Input Catalog (revised); those numbers have been added to each record.
60. ALHAMBRA fields type-I AGN with ELDAR
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/472/2085
Title:
ALHAMBRA fields type-I AGN with ELDAR
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/472/2085
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present ELDAR, a new method that exploits the potential of medium- and narrow-band filter surveys to securely identify active galactic nuclei (AGN) and determine their redshifts. Our methodology improves on traditional approaches by looking for AGN emission lines expected to be identified against the continuum, thanks to the width of the filters. To assess its performance, we apply ELDAR to the data of the ALHAMBRA survey, which covered an effective area of 2.38deg^2^ with 20 contiguous medium-band optical filters down to F814W=24.5. Using two different configurations of ELDAR in which we require the detection of at least 2 and 3 emission lines, respectively, we extract two catalogues of type-I AGN. The first is composed of 585 sources (79% of them spectroscopically-unknown) down to F814W=22.5 at z_phot_>1, which corresponds to a surface density of 209 deg-2. In the second, the 494 selected sources (83% of them spectroscopically-unknown) reach F814W=23 at z_phot_>1.5, for a corresponding number density of 176deg^-2^. Then, using samples of spectroscopically-known AGN in the ALHAMBRA fields, for the two catalogues we estimate a completeness of 73% and 67%, and a redshift precision of 1.01% and 0.86% (with outliers fractions of 8.1% and 5.8%). At z>2, where our selection performs best, we reach 85% and 77% completeness and we find no contamination from galaxies.
