The Chandra Deep Field-South Survey: 7 Ms Source Catalogs
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/228/1/2 Bibcode: 2017ApJS..228....2L

Smail, I.; Hornschemeier, A. E.; Alexander, D. M. +23 more

We present X-ray source catalogs for the ≈7 Ms exposure of the Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S), which covers a total area of 484.2 arcmin2. Utilizing WAVDETECT for initial source detection and ACIS Extract for photometric extraction and significance assessment, we create a main source catalog containing 1008 sources that are detected i…

Individual Dynamical Masses of Ultracool Dwarfs
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/aa5e4c Bibcode: 2017ApJS..231...15D

Dupuy, Trent J.; Liu, Michael C.

We present the full results of our decade-long astrometric monitoring programs targeting 31 ultracool binaries with component spectral types M7-T5. Joint analysis of resolved imaging from Keck Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope and unresolved astrometry from CFHT/WIRCam yields parallactic distances for all systems, robust orbit determinations …

CANDELS Multi-wavelength Catalogs: Source Identification and Photometry in the CANDELS Extended Groth Strip
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/aa66cb Bibcode: 2017ApJS..229...32S

Barro, Guillermo; Castellano, Marco; Fontana, Adriano +39 more

We present a 0.4-8 µm multi-wavelength photometric catalog in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) field. This catalog is built on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFC3 and ACS data from the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS), and it incorporates the existing HST data from the All-wavelength Extended Groth str…

Wuyts, S.; Dickinson, M.; Ferguson, H. C. +36 more

We present a multi-wavelength photometric catalog in the COSMOS field as part of the observations by the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey. The catalog is based on Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 (HST/WFC3) and Advanced Camera for Surveys observations of the COSMOS field (centered at R.A.: {10}{{h

Characterizing the Circumgalactic Medium of Nearby Galaxies with HST/COS and HST/STIS Absorption-line Spectroscopy. II. Methods and Models
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/aa6b59 Bibcode: 2017ApJS..230....6K

Savage, Blair D.; Shull, J. Michael; Danforth, Charles W. +6 more

We present basic data and modeling for a survey of the cool, photoionized circumgalactic medium (CGM) of low-redshift galaxies using far-UV QSO absorption-line probes. This survey consists of “targeted” and “serendipitous” CGM subsamples, originally described in Stocke et al. (Paper I). The targeted subsample probes low-luminosity, late-type galax…

The Extended IRTF Spectral Library: Expanded Coverage in Metallicity, Temperature, and Surface Gravity
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/aa72ed Bibcode: 2017ApJS..230...23V

van Dokkum, Pieter; Conroy, Charlie; Mann, Andrew W. +3 more

We present a 0.7-2.5 µm spectral library of 284 stars observed with the medium-resolution infrared spectrograph, SpeX, at the 3.0 m NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Maunakea, Hawaii. This library extends the metallicity range of the IRTF Cool Star library beyond solar metallicity to -1.7 < [Fe/H] < 0.6. All of the observed st…

Scientific Synergy between LSST and Euclid
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/aa96b0 Bibcode: 2017ApJS..233...21R

Smith, Graham P.; Conselice, Christopher J.; Aubourg, Éric +34 more

Euclid and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) are poised to dramatically change the astronomy landscape early in the next decade. The combination of high-cadence, deep, wide-field optical photometry from LSST with high-resolution, wide-field optical photometry, and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy from Euclid will be powerful for …

Stellar Photometric Structures of the Host Galaxies of Nearby Type 1 Active Galactic Nuclei
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/aa8a75 Bibcode: 2017ApJS..232...21K

Ho, Luis C.; Barth, Aaron J.; Im, Myungshin +2 more

We present detailed image analysis of rest-frame optical images of 235 low-redshift (z ≲ 0.35) Type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. The high-resolution images enable us to perform rigorous two-dimensional image modeling to decouple the luminous central point source from the host galaxy, which, when warrant…

Infrared Selection of Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei in the COSMOS Field
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/aa97da Bibcode: 2017ApJS..233...19C

Kartaltepe, Jeyhan S.; Tang, Ji-Jia; Juneau, Stéphanie +13 more

We present a study of the connection among black hole accretion, star formation, and galaxy morphology at z≤slant 2.5. We focus on active galactic nuclei (AGNs) selected by their mid-IR power-law emission. By fitting optical to far-IR photometry with state-of-the-art spectral energy distribution (SED) techniques, we derive stellar masses, star for…

Villaver, Eva; Ueta, Toshiya; Szczerba, Ryszard +9 more

We perform a comprehensive analysis of the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 6781 to investigate the physical conditions of each of its ionized, atomic, and molecular gas and dust components and the object’s evolution, based on panchromatic observational data ranging from UV to radio. Empirical nebular elemental abundances, compared with theoretical predi…
