The Second Fermi Large Area Telescope Catalog of Gamma-Ray Pulsars
Troja, E.; Caraveo, P. A.; Orlando, E. +208 more
This catalog summarizes 117 high-confidence >=0.1 GeV gamma-ray pulsar detections using three years of data acquired by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite. Half are neutron stars discovered using LAT data through periodicity searches in gamma-ray and radio data around LAT unassociated source positions. The 117 pulsars are eve…
The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Design, Observations, Data Reduction, and Redshifts
Weiner, Benjamin J.; Conroy, Charlie; Davis, Marc +31 more
We describe the design and data analysis of the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey, the densest and largest high-precision redshift survey of galaxies at z ~ 1 completed to date. The survey was designed to conduct a comprehensive census of massive galaxies, their properties, environments, and large-scale structure down to absolute magnitude MB
CANDELS Multi-wavelength Catalogs: Source Detection and Photometry in the GOODS-South Field
Barro, Guillermo; Castellano, Marco; Ferguson, Henry C. +33 more
We present a UV to mid-infrared multi-wavelength catalog in the CANDELS/GOODS-S field, combining the newly obtained CANDELS HST/WFC3 F105W, F125W, and F160W data with existing public data. The catalog is based on source detection in the WFC3 F160W band. The F160W mosaic includes the data from CANDELS deep and wide observations as well as previous …
The COS-Halos Survey: An Empirical Description of Metal-line Absorption in the Low-redshift Circumgalactic Medium
Tripp, Todd M.; Prochaska, J. Xavier; Tumlinson, Jason +4 more
We present the equivalent width and column density measurements for low and intermediate ionization states of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) surrounding 44 low-z, L ≈ L* galaxies drawn from the COS-Halos survey. These measurements are derived from far-UV transitions observed in HST/COS and Keck/HIRES spectra of background quasars within an impact…
CANDELS Multiwavelength Catalogs: Source Identification and Photometry in the CANDELS UKIDSS Ultra-deep Survey Field
Barro, Guillermo; Santini, Paola; Castellano, Marco +42 more
We present the multiwavelength—ultraviolet to mid-infrared—catalog of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Ultra-Deep Survey field observed as part of the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS). Based on publicly available data, the catalog includes the CANDELS data from the Hubble Space Telescope (near-inf…
The HST eXtreme Deep Field (XDF): Combining All ACS and WFC3/IR Data on the HUDF Region into the Deepest Field Ever
Trenti, M.; Oesch, P. A.; Carollo, C. M. +8 more
The eXtreme Deep Field (XDF) combines data from 10 years of observations with the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and the Wide-Field Camera 3 Infra-Red (WFC3/IR) into the deepest image of the sky ever in the optical/near-IR. Since the initial observations of the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (HUDF) in 2003, numerous surveys and …
Determining Inclinations of Active Galactic Nuclei via their Narrow-line Region Kinematics. I. Observational Results
Kraemer, S. B.; Crenshaw, D. M.; Schmitt, H. R. +1 more
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are axisymmetric systems to first order; their observed properties are likely strong functions of inclination with respect to our line of sight (LOS). However, except for a few special cases, the specific inclinations of individual AGNs are unknown. We have developed a promising technique for determining the inclinati…
The 2012 Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UDF12): Observational Overview
Ono, Yoshiaki; Ouchi, Masami; Koekemoer, Anton M. +15 more
We present the 2012 Hubble Ultra Deep Field campaign (UDF12), a large 128 orbit Cycle 19 Hubble Space Telescope program aimed at extending previous Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3)/IR observations of the UDF by quadrupling the exposure time in the F105W filter, imaging in an additional F140W filter, and extending the F160W exposure time by 50%, as well …
Improved Log(gf) Values for Lines of Ti I and Abundance Determinations in the Photospheres of the Sun and Metal-Poor Star HD 84937 (Accurate Transition Probabilities for Ti I)
Sneden, C.; Wood, M. P.; Lawler, J. E. +2 more
New atomic transition probability measurements for 948 lines of Ti I are reported. Branching fractions from Fourier transform spectra and from spectra recorded using a 3 m echelle spectrometer are combined with published radiative lifetimes from laser-induced fluorescence measurements to determine these transition probabilities. Generally good agr…
A Study of the Diverse T Dwarf Population Revealed by WISE
Fortney, Jonathan J.; Cushing, Michael C.; Kirkpatrick, J. Davy +23 more
We report the discovery of 87 new T dwarfs uncovered with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and 3 brown dwarfs with extremely red near-infrared colors that exhibit characteristics of both L and T dwarfs. Two of the new T dwarfs are likely binaries with L7 ± 1 primaries and mid-type T secondaries. In addition, our follow-up program has…
