  • Canes Venatici I Cloud of Galaxies Seen in the Hα Line
    A&A 479, 603–624 (2008) Astronomy DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20078652 & c ESO 2008 Astrophysics Canes Venatici I cloud of galaxies seen in the Hα line S. S. Kaisin and I. D. Karachentsev Special Astrophysical Observatory, Russian Academy of Sciences, N. Arkhyz, KChR, 369167, Russia e-mail: [email protected] Received 11 September 2007 / Accepted 25 September 2007 ABSTRACT We present results of Hα imaging for 42 galaxies in the nearby low-density cloud Canes Venatici I, populated mainly by late-type objects. Estimates of the Hα flux and integrated star formation rate (SFR) are now available for all 78 known members of this scattered system, spanning a large range in luminosity, surface brightness, HI content and SFR. Distributions of the CVnI galaxies versus their SFR, blue absolute magnitude and total hydrogen mass, are given in comparison with those for a population of the nearby virialized group around M 81. We found no essential correlation between star formation activity in a galaxy and its density environment. The bulk of CVnI galaxies had enough time to generate their baryon mass with the observed SFR. Most of them also possess a supply of gas that is sufficient to maintain their observed SFRs during the next Hubble time. Key words. galaxies: evolution – galaxies: ISM – galaxies: dwarf 1. Introduction 2. Observations and data reduction The distribution over the sky of 500 galaxies of the Local CCD images in the Hα-line and continuum were obtained for Volume, with distances within 10 Mpc, shows considerable in- 42 galaxies of the CVnI cloud during observing runs from March homogeneities due to the presence of groups and voids.

  • Making a Sky Atlas
    Appendix A Making a Sky Atlas Although a number of very advanced sky atlases are now available in print, none is likely to be ideal for any given task. Published atlases will probably have too few or too many guide stars, too few or too many deep-sky objects plotted in them, wrong- size charts, etc. I found that with MegaStar I could design and make, specifically for my survey, a “just right” personalized atlas. My atlas consists of 108 charts, each about twenty square degrees in size, with guide stars down to magnitude 8.9. I used only the northernmost 78 charts, since I observed the sky only down to –35°. On the charts I plotted only the objects I wanted to observe. In addition I made enlargements of small, overcrowded areas (“quad charts”) as well as separate large-scale charts for the Virgo Galaxy Cluster, the latter with guide stars down to magnitude 11.4. I put the charts in plastic sheet protectors in a three-ring binder, taking them out and plac- ing them on my telescope mount’s clipboard as needed. To find an object I would use the 35 mm finder (except in the Virgo Cluster, where I used the 60 mm as the finder) to point the ensemble of telescopes at the indicated spot among the guide stars. If the object was not seen in the 35 mm, as it usually was not, I would then look in the larger telescopes. If the object was not immediately visible even in the primary telescope – a not uncommon occur- rence due to inexact initial pointing – I would then scan around for it.

  • Wide-Field Survey of Dwarf Satellite Systems Around 10 Hosts in the Local Volume
    Draft version February 12, 2020 Typeset using LATEX twocolumn style in AASTeX62 Wide-Field Survey of Dwarf Satellite Systems Around 10 Hosts in the Local Volume Scott G. Carlsten,1 Johnny P. Greco,2, ∗ Rachael L. Beaton,1, 3, y and Jenny E. Greene1 1Department of Astrophysical Sciences, 4 Ivy Lane, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544 2Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP), The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA 3The Observatories of the Carnegie Institution for Science, 813 Santa Barbara St., Pasadena, CA 91101 (Accepted February 12, 2020) Submitted to ApJ ABSTRACT We present the results of an extensive search for dwarf satellite galaxies around 10 primary host galaxies in the Local Volume (LV, D<12 Mpc) using archival CFHT/MegaCam imaging data. The hosts span a wide range in properties, with stellar masses ranging from that of the LMC to 3 times ∼ that of the Milky Way (MW). The surveyed hosts are: NGC 1023, NGC 1156, NGC 2903, NGC 4258, NGC 4565, NGC 4631, NGC 5023, M51, M64, and M104. We detect satellite candidates using a consistent semi-automated detection algorithm that is optimized for the detection of low surface brightness objects. Depending on the host, our completeness limit is Mg 8 to 10 (assuming the ∼ − − −2 distance of the host). We detect objects with surface brightness down to µ0;g 26 mag arcsec at ∼ & 90% completeness. The survey areas of the six best-surveyed hosts cover most of the inner projected R < 150 kpc area, which will roughly double the number of massive LV hosts surveyed at this level of area and luminosity completeness, once distances are measured for the candidates.

  • New Evidence for Dark Matter

The simplest resolution assumes that a significant fraction of matter in the Universe, dominating the dynamics of objects from dwarf galaxies to galaxy clusters, does not interact with electromagnetic radiation (hence the name dark matter). This elegant hypothesis poses, however, a major challenge to the highly successful Standard Model of particle physics, as it was realized that dark matter cannot be made of known elementary particles [4]. The quest for direct evidence of the presence of dark matter and for its properties thus becomes of crucial importance for building a fundamental theory of nature. Here we present a new universal relation, satisfied by matter distributions at all observed scales, and show its amaz- ingly good and detailed agreement with the predictions of the most up-to-date pure dark matter simulations of structure formation in the Universe [5–7]. This behaviour seems to be insensitive to the complicated feedback of ordinary matter on dark matter.

  • An Explanation for the Unexpected Diversity of Dwarf Galaxy Rotation Curves

F. Navarro, Supervisor (Department of Physics and Astronomy) Dr. F. Herwig, Departmental Member (Department of Physics and Astronomy) Dr. F. Diacu, Outside Member (Department of Mathematics and Statistics) iii ABSTRACT The cosmological constant + cold dark matter (ΛCDM) theory is the `standard model' of cosmology. Encoded in it are extremely accurate descriptions of the large scale structure of the Universe, despite a very limited number of degrees of freedom. The model struggles, however, to explain some measurements on galactic and smaller scales. The shape of the dark matter distribution toward the centres of galaxies is predicted to be steeply increasing in density (`cuspy') by the theory, yet observations of the rotation curves of some galaxies suggest that it instead reaches a central density plateau (a `core'). This discrepancy is termed the `cusp-core problem'. I propose a new way of quantifying this problem as a diversity in the central mass content of galaxies.

The Westerbork Hydrogen Accretion in LOcal GAlaxieS (HALOGAS) Survey is producing an archive of some of the most sensitive H i observations available, on the angular scales which are most useful for studying faint, diffuse gas in and around nearby galaxies. The survey data are being used to perform careful modeling of the galaxies, characterizing their gas content, mor- phology, and kinematics, with the primary goal of revealing the global characteristics of cold gas accretion onto spiral galaxies in the local Universe. In this paper, we describe the survey sample selection, the data acquisition, reduction, and analysis, and present the data products obtained during our pilot program, which consists of UGC 2082, NGC 672, NGC 925, and NGC 4565.
