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…

BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey. V. X-Ray Properties of the Swift/BAT 70-month AGN Catalog
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/aa96ad Bibcode: 2017ApJS..233...17R

Treister, E.; Bauer, F. E.; Paltani, S. +18 more

Hard X-ray (≥10 keV) observations of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can shed light on some of the most obscured episodes of accretion onto supermassive black holes. The 70-month Swift/BAT all-sky survey, which probes the 14-195 keV energy range, has currently detected 838 AGNs. We report here on the broadband X-ray (0.3-150 keV) characteristics of …

Revised Stellar Properties of Kepler Targets for the Q1-17 (DR25) Transit Detection Run
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/229/2/30 Bibcode: 2017ApJS..229...30M

Batalha, Natalie M.; Bieryla, Allyson; Latham, David W. +14 more

The determination of exoplanet properties and occurrence rates using Kepler data critically depends on our knowledge of the fundamental properties (such as temperature, radius, and mass) of the observed stars. We present revised stellar properties for 197,096 Kepler targets observed between Quarters 1-17 (Q1-17), which were used for the final tran…

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

A Herschel Space Observatory Spectral Line Survey of Local Luminous Infrared Galaxies from 194 to 671 Microns
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/aa6476 Bibcode: 2017ApJS..230....1L

Gao, Yu; Díaz-Santos, Tanio; Lu, Nanyao +18 more

We describe a Herschel Space Observatory 194-671 µm spectroscopic survey of a sample of 121 local luminous infrared galaxies and report the fluxes of the CO J to J-1 rotational transitions for 4≤slant J≤slant 13, the [N II] 205 µm line, the [C I] lines at 609 and 370 µm, as well as additional and usually fainter lines. The CO spe…

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…

Interstellar Pickup Ion Observations to 38 au
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/aa91d2 Bibcode: 2017ApJS..233....8M

McComas, D. J.; Schwadron, N. A.; Szalay, J. R. +9 more

We provide the first direct observations of interstellar H+ and He+ pickup ions in the solar wind from 22 to 38 au. We use the Vasyliunas and Siscoe model functional form to quantify the pickup ion distributions, and while the fit parameters generally lie outside their physically expected ranges, this form allows fits that qu…
