The Schmidt Law in Six Galactic Massive Star-forming Regions
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/809/1/87 Bibcode: 2015ApJ...809...87W

Marengo, M.; Smith, H. A.; Allen, L. +3 more

We present a census of young stars in five massive star-forming regions in the 4th Galactic quadrant, G305, G326-4, G326-6, G333 (RCW 106), and G351, and combine this census with an earlier census of young stars in NGC 6334. Each region was observed at J, H, and Ks with the NOAO Extremely Wide-Field Infrared Imager and combined with dee…

Cross-correlation of CFHTLenS galaxy catalogue and Planck CMB lensing using the halo model prescription
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201526940 Bibcode: 2015A&A...584A..53K

Kuntz, Adrien


Aims: I cross-correlate the galaxy counts from the Canada-France Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS) galaxy catalogue and cosmic microwave background (CMB) convergence from the Planck data releases 1 (2013) and 2 (2015).
Methods: I improve on an earlier study by computing an analytic covariance from the halo model, implementing si…

A Newly Recognized Very Young Supernova Remnant in M83
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/800/2/118 Bibcode: 2015ApJ...800..118B

Soria, Roberto; Blair, William P.; Whitmore, Bradley C. +7 more

As part of a spectroscopic survey of supernova remnant candidates in M83 using the Gemini-South telescope and Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph, we have discovered one object whose spectrum shows very broad lines at Hα, [O I] λλ6300, 6363, and [O III] λλ4959, 5007, similar to those from other objects classified as "late time supernovae". Although s…

On the diffuse X-ray emission from the Wolf-Rayet bubble NGC 2359
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stu2163 Bibcode: 2015MNRAS.446.1083T

Gruendl, R. A.; Chu, Y. -H.; Guerrero, M. A. +1 more

A recent XMM-Newton observation has revealed diffuse X-ray emission inside the nebula NGC 2359 around the Wolf-Rayet star WR 7. Taking advantage of an improved point-source rejection and background subtraction, and a detailed comparison of optical and X-ray morphology, we have reanalysed these X-ray observations. Our analysis reveals diffuse X-ray…

Gemini Frontier Fields: Wide-field Adaptive Optics Ks-band Imaging of the Galaxy Clusters MACS J0416.1-2403 and Abell 2744
DOI: 10.1088/0067-0049/217/2/33 Bibcode: 2015ApJS..217...33S

Schirmer, M.; Winge, C.; Neichel, B. +4 more

We have observed two of the six Frontier Fields galaxy clusters, MACS J0416.1-2403 and Abell 2744, using the Gemini Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics System (GeMS) and the Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager (GSAOI). With 0.″ 08-0.″ 10 FWHM our data are nearly diffraction-limited over a 100\prime\prime × 100\prime\prime wide ar…

On the Possibility of Significant Electron Depletion due to Nanograin Charging in the Coma of Comet 67p/churyumov-gerasimenko near Perihelion
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/798/2/130 Bibcode: 2015ApJ...798..130V

Wahlund, J. -E.; Vigren, E.; Galand, M. +2 more

We approach the complicated phenomena of gas-dust interactions in a cometary ionosphere, focusing in particular on the possibility of significant depletion in electron number density due to grain charging. Our one-dimensional ionospheric model, accounting for grain charging processes, is applied to the subsolar direction and the diamagnetic cavity…

The Chemical Composition of ρ Puppis and the Signs of Accretion in the Atmospheres of B-F-Type Stars
DOI: 10.1088/0004-6256/149/2/59 Bibcode: 2015AJ....149...59Y

Lee, Byeong-Cheol; Kim, Sungeun; Lee, Jae-Woo +10 more

We investigated the chemical composition of ρ Pup using high-resolution spectral observations taken from the Very Large Telescope and the IUE archives and also spectra obtained at the 1.8 m telescope of the Bohyunsan observatory in Korea. The abundances of 56 chemical elements and the upper limits of Li and Be abundances were determined. The abund…

Acceleration of ions to suprathermal energies by turbulence in the plasmoid-like magnetic structures

Daly, P. W.; Malykhin, A. Yu.; Grigorenko, E. E. +2 more

We study energetic spectra of H+, He+, and O+ ion fluxes in the energy range ≥130 keV measured by Cluster/Research with Adaptive Particle Imaging Detectors (RAPID) instruments during 37 intervals of the tailward bulk flow propagation in the near-Earth tail (at X ≤ -19 RE). In all events from our database…

The evolution of disc galaxies with and without classical bulges since z ∼ 1
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stv931 Bibcode: 2015MNRAS.451....2S

Sachdeva, Sonali; Saha, Kanak; Gadotti, Dimitri A. +1 more

Establishing relative role of internally and externally driven mechanisms responsible for disc and bulge growth is essential to understand the evolution of disc galaxies. In this context, we have studied the physical properties of disc galaxies without classical bulges in comparison to those with classical bulges since z ∼ 0.9. Using images from t…

Galaxy Formation at z > 3 Revealed by Narrowband-selected [O III] Emission Line Galaxies
DOI: 10.1088/0004-637X/806/2/208 Bibcode: 2015ApJ...806..208S

Suzuki, Tomoko L.; Minowa, Yosuke; Koyama, Yusei +6 more

We present the physical properties of [O iii] emission line galaxies at z\gt 3 as the tracers of active galaxies at 1 Gyr before the peak epoch at z∼ 2. We have performed deep narrowband imaging surveys in the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey Field with the Multi-object InfraRed Camera and Spectrograph on the Subaru Telescope and have constructed coh…
