Wolter Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, Massachusetts J. T. Stocke Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy, Boulder, Colorado S. L. Morris The Observatories of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, Pasadena, California AND J. P. Henry Institute for Astronomy, Honolulu, Hawaii Received 1989 March 6; accepted 1989 August 10 ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of the analysis of the X-ray data and the optical identification for the Einstein Observatory Extended Medium-Sensitivity Survey (EMSS). The survey consists of 835 serendipitous sources detected at or above 4 times the rms level in 1435 imaging proportional counter (IPC) fields with centers located away from the Galactic plane. Their limiting sensitivities range from - 5 X10“14 to — 3 X10“12 ergs cm-2 s-1 in the 0.3-3.5 keV energy band. A total area of 778 square degrees of the high Galactic latitude sky (|fr| > 20°) has been covered. The data have been analyzed using the REVI processing system implemented a few years ago at the Center for Astrophysics. This system makes use, for each IPC image, of a background map, a kind of “ flat field” which takes into account the nonuniformities of the detector. The selection criteria for the fields and the sources are described, as well as the detection algorithms used to determine the existence and location of the sources. The resulting EMSS catalog of X-ray sources is a flux-limited and homogeneous sample of astronomical objects that can be used for statistical studies. An optical program to identify the 835 sources spectroscopically is underway. As of 1989 June, 91% of the sample sources has been identified. A classification has been assigned to the remaining sources based on the ratio of X-ray to visual flux as described in the paper. In agreement with previous results from the Medium-Sensitivity Survey samples, active galactic nuclei dominate the extragalactic component, followed by clusters of galaxies, BL Lacertae objects and “normal” galaxies. About 27% of the EMSS sources are Galactic. The revised estimate of the surface density of extragalactic X-ray sources is 7.7 -1 -14 -2 -1 sources per square degree (25,146^^20 sources sterad ) at /c = 7XlO ergs cm s (0.3-3.5 keV). The number-counts relation is best fitted by a power law of slope a = 1.48 + 0.05. Subject headings: BL Lacertae objects — galaxies: nuclei — galaxies: X-rays — stars: X-rays — X-rays: sources I.

  • The SBF Survey of Galaxy Distances. I. Sample Selection, Photometric
    TheSBFSurveyofGalaxyDistances.I. Sample Selection, Photometric Calibration, and the Hubble Constant1 John L. Tonry2 and John P. Blakeslee2 Physics Dept. Room 6-204, MIT, Cambridge, MA 02139; Edward A. Ajhar2 Kitt Peak National Observatory, National Optical Astronomy Observatories, P.O. Box 26732 Tucson, AZ 85726; Alan Dressler Carnegie Observatories, 813 Santa Barbara St., Pasadena, CA 91101 ABSTRACT We describe a program of surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) measurements for determining galaxy distances. This paper presents the photometric calibration of our sample and of SBF in general. Basing our zero point on observations of Cepheid variable stars we find that the absolute SBF magnitude in the Kron-Cousins I band correlates well with the mean (V −I)0 color of a galaxy according to M I =(−1.74 ± 0.07) + (4.5 ± 0.25) [(V −I)0 − 1.15] for 1.0 < (V −I) < 1.3. This agrees well with theoretical estimates from stellar popula- tion models. Comparisons between SBF distances and a variety of other estimators, including Cepheid variable stars, the Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function (PNLF), Tully-Fisher (TF), Dn−σ, SNII, and SNIa, demonstrate that the calibration of SBF is universally valid and that SBF error estimates are accurate. The zero point given by Cepheids, PNLF, TF (both calibrated using Cepheids), and SNII is in units of Mpc; the zero point given by TF (referenced to a distant frame), Dn−σ, and SNIa is in terms of a Hubble expan- sion velocity expressed in km/s. Tying together these two zero points yields a Hubble constant of H0 =81±6 km/s/Mpc.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract We have analyzed the frequency and properties of the nuclear activity in a sample of galaxies with circumnuclear rings and spirals (CNRs), compiled from published data. From the properties of this sample a typical circumnuclear ring can be characterized as having a median radius of 0.7 kpc (mean 0.8 kpc, rms 0.4 kpc), located at a spiral Sa/Sb galaxy (75% of the hosts), with a bar (44% weak, 37% strong bars). The sample includes 73 emission line rings, 12 dust rings and 9 stellar rings. The sample was compared with a carefully matched control sample of galaxies with very similar global properties but without detected circumnuclear rings. We discuss the relevance of the results in regard to the AGN feeding processes and present the following results: 1) bright companion galaxies seem

Optical emission-line profiles were evaluated in order to explore the structure of galactic nuclei containing H2O megamaser sources. Long-slit spectra of IC 2560, NGC 1386, NGC 1052 and Mrk 1210 were obtained at ∼100 km s−1 spec- tral and ∼2 × 2 spatial resolution. The following individual properties of the objects were found: The active nucleus of IC 2560 (innermost ±2) emits lines typical for a high-ionization Seyfert-2 spectrum albeit with comparatively narrow profiles (FWHM ∼ 200 km s−1). Line wings are stronger on the blue side than on the red side, suggesting outflow. The central velocity gradient fits into the general velocity curve of the galaxy. Attributing it to a rotating disk coplanar with the galaxy leads to a 7 Keplerian mass of ∼10 M inside a radius of 100 pc. – The central 6 sized structure seen on HST Hα and [O]imagesof NGC 1386 appears to be the inner part of a near-edge-on warped rotating spiral disk that is traced in Hα within a diameter of 17 along PA 23◦. This interpretation is based on observed kinematic continuity and a typical S-shaped dust lane crossing the 8 9 kinematical center.

Received 2005 February 21; in original form 2004 December 24 ABSTRACT We present a spectroscopic atlas of active galactic nuclei covering the region around the λλ8498, 8542, 8662 calcium triplet (CaT). The sample comprises 78 objects, divided into 43 Seyfert 2s, 26 Seyfert 1s, three starburst and six normal galaxies. The spectra pertain to the inner ∼300 pc in radius, and thus sample the central kinematics and stellar populations of active galaxies. The data are used to measure stellar velocity dispersions (σ ) with both cross-correlation and direct fitting methods.

Ramos P.2 Received 2012 November 22; accepted 2013 August 5 RESUMEN El objetivo central de este trabajo fue investigar c´omo procesos energ´eticos asociados a la actividad de los n´ucleos activos de galaxias est´an vinculados con aquellos que son debidos a la actividad de formaci´on estelar nuclear y circunnu- clear. Se usaron datos fotom´etricos y espectrosc´opicos con el fin de discriminar estos procesos en un conjunto de galaxias con brote de formaci´on estelar, galaxias infrarrojas y AGNs. Se proponen nuevos diagramas de diagn´ostico basados en la emisi´on de PAH en 7.7 µm, la raz´on entre la emisi´on en el infrarrojo medio y lejano L(MIR, FIR) y el par´ametro q. Los diagramas de diagn´ostico permiten comparar el comportamiento de los cuasares y galaxias Seyfert 1- Seyfert 2 con las galaxias con brote, y los LIRGs-ULIRGs.
