Galactic Center P-Band (330 MHz) Survey
The Galactic Center P-Band (330 MHz) Survey (GCPS) is based on wide-field, subarcminute-resolution Very Large Array (VLA) imagery of the Galactic center region at 330 MHz. With a resolution of ~7"x12" and an rms noise of 1.6 mJy/beam, this image represented a significant increase in resolution and sensitivity over the previously published VLA image at this frequency. The improved sensitivity more than tripled the census of small-diameter sources in the region, resulted in the detection of two new nonthermal filaments (NTFs), 18 NTF candidates, and 30 pulsar candidates, revealed previously known extended sources in greater detail, and has resulted in the first detection of Sagittarius A* in this frequency range. Two sets of observations were obtained. The first was conducted at 330 MHz in the A configuration of the VLA in 1996 October. The second set of P-band observations were obtained in the A and B configurations of the VLA between 1998 March and 1999 May. This Browse table was created by the HEASARC in May 2005 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/128/1646">CDS Catalog J/AJ/128/1646</a>, tables table2.dat and table3.dat.

VLA 74-MHz Deep High-Resolution Survey Source Catalog
공공데이터포털
This table contains some of the results from a 74-MHz survey of a 165 deg2 region located near the North Galactic Pole (NGP). This survey has an unprecedented combination of both spatial resolution (25" FWHM) and sensitivity (1-sigma as low as 24mJy/beam). The authors detect 949 sources at the 5-sigma level in this region, enough to begin exploring the nature of the 74-MHz source population. In their paper, they present differential source counts, spectral index measurements, and the size distribution as determined from counterparts in the high-resolution FIRST 1.4-GHz survey. They find a trend of steeper spectral indices for the brighter sources. Further, there is a clear correlation between spectral index and median source size, with the flat-spectrum sources being much smaller on average. Ultra-steep spectrum objects (power-law index alpha <= -1.2, where S_nu ~ nualpha) are identified. These sources are excellent candidates for high-redshift radio galaxies. The data used to produce this survey come from observations taken on 1998 March 7 intended to map two normal galaxies at 74 MHz (NGC 4565 and NGC 4631). These two pointings were separated by 6.4 degrees, roughly the radius of the primary beam at 74 MHz, allowing them to be ideally combined to produce a single deep image roughly 17 x 10 degrees in size. The combination of VLA A-configuration resolution (25 arcsec), favorable ionospheric conditions, and pointings in directions near the NGP, where the background temperature is low, produced the deepest observation ever obtained below 100 MHz. The same algorithm that was used in the 1.4-GHz NVSS was used to identify and characterize sources in this 74-MHz survey. The source detection algorithm had a threshold such that sources must have both a peak and integrated flux density level of at least 5 times the local rms noise level. Since the rms noise level varied from 24 mJy/beam to 80 mJy mJy/beam at the chosen field edge, the absolute level of the source-detection threshold of 5-sigma likewise varied over the image.

VLA-COSMOS Survey 324-MHz Continuum Source Catalog
공공데이터포털
This table contains a source catalog based on 90-cm (324-MHz) Very Large Array (VLA) imaging of the COSMOS field, comprising a circular area of 3.14 square degrees centered on 10h 00m 28.6s, _02o 12' 21" (J2000.0 RA and Dec). The image from the merger of 3 nights of observations using all 27 VLA antennas had an effective total integration time of ~ 12 hours, an 8.0 arcsecond x 6.0 arcsecond angular resolution, and an average rms of 0.5 mJy beam-1. The extracted catalog contains 182 sources (down to 5.5 sigma), 30 of which are multi-component sources. Using Monte Carlo artificial source simulations, the authors derive the completeness of the catalog, and show that their 90-cm source counts agree very well with those from previous studies. In their paper, the authors use X-ray, NUV-NIR and radio COSMOS data to investigate the population mix of this 90-cm radio sample, and find that the sample is dominated by active galactic nuclei. The average 90-20 cm spectral index (S_nu_~ nualpha, where Snu is the flux density at frequency nu and alpha the spectral index) of the 90-cm selected sources is -0.70, with an interquartile range from -0.90 to -0.53. Only a few ultra-steep-spectrum sources are present in this sample, consistent with results in the literature for similar fields. These data do not show clear steepening of the spectral index with redshift. Nevertheless, this sample suggests that sources with spectral indices steeper than -1 all lie at z >~ 1, in agreement with the idea that ultra-steep-spectrum radio sources may trace intermediate-redshift galaxies (z >~ 1). Using both the signal and rms maps (see Figs. 1 and 2 in the reference paper) as input data, the authors ran the AIPS task SAD to obtain a catalog of candidate components above a given local signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) threshold. The task SAD was run four times with search S/N levels of 10, 8, 6 and 5, using the resulting residual image each time. They recovered all the radio components with a local S/N > 5.00. Subsequently, all the selected components were visually inspected, in order to check their reliability, especially for the components near strong side-lobes. After a careful analysis, a S/N threshold of 5.50 was adopted as the best compromise between a deep and a reliable catalog. The procedure yielded a total of 246 components with a local S/N > 5.50. More than one component, identified in the 90-cm map sometimes belongs to a single radio source (e.g. large radio galaxies consist of multiple components). Using the 90-cm COSMOS radio map, the authors combined the various components into single sources based on visual inspection. The final catalog (contained in this HEASARC table) lists 182 radio sources, 30 of which have been classified as multiple, i.e. they are better described by more than a single component. Moreover, in order to ensure a more precise classification, all sources identified as multi-component sources have been also double-checked using the 20-cm radio map. The authors found that all the 26 multiple 90-cm radio sources within the 20-cm map have 20-cm counterpart sources already classified as multiple. The authors have made use of the VLA-COSMOS Large and Deep Projects over 2 square degrees, reaching down to an rms of ~15 µJy beam1 ^ at 1.4 GHz and 1.5 arcsec resolution (Schinnerer et al. 2007, ApJS, 172, 46: the VLACOSMOS table in the HEASARC database). The 90-cm COSMOS radio catalog has, however, been extracted from a larger region of 3.14 square degrees (see Fig. 1 and Section 3.1 of the reference paper). This implies that a certain number of 90-cm sources (48) lie outside the area of the 20-cm COSMOS map used to select the radio catalog. Thus, to identify the 20-cm counterparts of the 90-cm radio sources, the authors used the joint VLA-COSMOS catalog (Schinnerer et al. 2010, ApJS, 188, 384: the VLACOSMJSC table in the HEASARC database) for the 134
Point Sources from a Spitzer/IRAC Survey of the Galactic Center
공공데이터포털
Spitzer/IRAC observations of the central 2.0 deg by 1.4 deg (~ 280 pc by 200 pc) of the Galaxy were obtained at 3.6-8.0 microns in Cycle 1 (GO 3677, PI: Stolovy). These data represent the highest spatial resolution (~2 arcsec) and sensitivity uniform large-scale map made to date of the Galactic Center at mid-infrared wavelengths.A point source catalog of 1,065,565 objects was obtained. The catalog includes magnitudes for the point sources at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 microns, as well as JHK photometry from 2MASS. The point source catalog is confusion limited with average limits of 12.4, 12.1, 11.7, and 11.2 magnitudes for [3.6], [4.5], [5.8], and [8.0], respectively. The confusion limits are spatially variable because of stellar surface density, background surface brightness level, and extinction variations across the survey region. More details about the point source catalog can be found at Ramirez et al. 2008.
VLA A2390 Cluster of Galaxies 1.4-GHz Source Catalog
공공데이터포털
This table contains the 1.4-GHz source catalog for the field of the cluster of galaxies A2390 as observed with the Very Large Array (VLA). This is one of the deepest radio images of a cluster field ever taken. The image covers an area of 34' x 34' with a synthesized beam of ~1.4" and a noise level of ~5.6 µJy (µJy) near the field center. In the reference paper, the authors construct differential number counts for the central regions (radius < 16') of this cluster, and find that the faint (S1.4GHz < 3 mJy) counts of A2390 are roughly consistent with the lowest blank field number counts. Their analyses indicate that the number counts are primarily from field radio galaxies. The authors suggest that the disagreement of their number counts for this cluster with those from a similarly deep observation of A370 that was also presented in the reference paper can be largely attributed to cosmic variance. The authors observed the A2390 cluster field with the VLA in the A configuration for ~31.4hr on-source during 2008 October. The field center is located at 21:53:36 +17:41:52 (J2000). This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2017 based on CDS Catalog J/ApJS/202/2/ file table2.dat. This file contained 699 entries for sources detected at 1.4 GHz in the A370 field, as well as 524 entries for sources detected at 1.4 GHz in the A2390 field. Only the latter are included in this HEASARC table, while the former can be found in the HEASARC's VLA3701P4 table. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
NGC 2403 Central 3-kpc Region Chandra Source Catalog
공공데이터포털
Archival Chandra observations are used to study the X-ray emission associated with star formation in the central region of the nearby (D = 3.2 Mpc, 1 arcminute = 1 kpc) SAB(s)cd galaxy NGC 2403. The distribution of X-ray emission is compared to the morphology visible at other wavelengths using complementary Spitzer, Galaxy Evolution Explorer, and ground-based H-alpha imagery. In general, the brightest X-ray emission is associated with H II regions and to other star-forming structures, but is more pervasive, existing also in regions devoid of strong H-alpha and UV emission. NGC 2403 was observed in full-frame mode with the Chandra ACIS-S on four occasions for a total of ~ 180 ks, on 2001 Apr 17, 2004 Aug 13, 2004 Oct 03 and 2004 Dec 22. The source-finding tool described by Tennant (2006, AJ, 132, 1372) was applied to all 4 individual data sets and to the merged data set in order to search for discrete X-ray sources. The search was limited to the cnetral 6' x 6' (6 kpc x 6 kpc) region and to events within the full Chandra energy range 0.3-8.0 keV. Fifty eight point sources were detected in the merged data set with a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) above 2.8 and with a minimum of 5 sigma above background uncertainty (corresponding to a detection limit of 8-10 counts for a typical on-axis source). These sources were listed in Table 2 of the reference paper and and are contained in the present HEASARC table. They can be selected by specifying source_type = 'Point Source'. The X-ray data were also examined to see if there was emission from known SNRs and H II regions after masking out the afore-mentioned X-ray point sources (see Section 2.1 of the reference paper for full details). Events falling within the areas defined by 24 optically identified SNRs that were imaged on the S3 chip in the first three observations were used to construct a composite spectrum. This stacked spectrum was fit by an absorbed 1-T APEC model with the hydrogen column density as a free parameter in XSPEC which was then used to translate the observed net count rates into X-ray luminosities. Only 4 or 5 of these SNRs are likely to be 'truely' detected X-ray sources. The SNRs can be selected in the present HEASARC table by specifying source_type ='SNR'. A similar procedure was used to search the X-ray data for the presence of X-ray emission at the locations of 47 H II regions in NGC 2403. Events falling within the areas defined by 47 H II regiuons that were imaged on the S3 chip in the first three observations were used to construct a composite spectrum. This stacked spectrum was fit by an absorbed 2-T APEC model with the hydrogen column density as a free parameter in XSPEC which was then used to translate the observed net count rates into X-ray luminosities. Only the most X-ray-luminous H II regions are likely to be 'truely' detected X-ray sources. The H II regions can be selected in the present HEASARC table by specifying source_type ='HII Region'.

Galactic Center Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
공공데이터포털
This table contains a catalog of 9017 X-ray sources identified in Chandra observations of a 2 degrees by 0.8 degrees field around the Galactic center. This enlarges the number of known X-ray sources in the region by a factor of 2.5. The catalog incorporates all of the ACIS-I observations as of 2007 August, which total 2.25 Ms of exposure. At the distance to the Galactic center (8 kpc), we are sensitive to sources with luminosities of 4 x 1032 erg s-1 (0.5-8.0 keV; 90% confidence) over an area of 1 degree2, and up to an order of magnitude more sensitive in the deepest exposure (1.0 Ms) around Sgr A*. The positions of 60% of the sources are accurate to <1 arcsecond (95% confidence), and 20% have positions accurate to <0.5 arcsec. The authors search for variable sources, and find that 3% exhibit flux variations within an observation, and 10% exhibit variations from observation-to-observation. They also find one source, CXOUGC J174622.7-285218, with a periodic 1745 s signal (1.4% chance probability), which is probably a magnetically accreting cataclysmic variable. The authors compare the spatial distribution of X-ray sources to a model for the stellar distribution, and find 2.8 sigma evidence for excesses in the numbers of X-ray sources in the region of recent star formation encompassed by the Arches, Quintuplet, and Galactic center star clusters. These excess sources are also seen in the luminosity distribution of the X-ray sources, which is flatter near the Arches and Quintuplet than elsewhere in the field. These excess point sources, along with a similar longitudinal asymmetry in the distribution of diffuse iron emission that has been reported by other authors, probably have their origin in the young stars that are prominent at a galactic lonitude ~ 0.1 degrees. This tables was designed to be inclusive, so sources of questionable quality are included, according to the authors. For instance, 134 sources have net numbers of counts in the 0.5-8.0 keV band that are consistent with 0 at the 90% confidence level. These sources are only detected in a single band and are presumably either very hard or very soft, detected in single observations because they were transients, or detected in stacked observations with wvdecomp at marginal significance. The authors have chosen to include them because they passed the test based on Poisson statistics from Weisskopf et al. (2007, ApJ, 657, 1026). The observations which were used to generate the source list herein tabulated are listed in Table 1 of the reference paper. This HEASARC table GALCENCXO supercedes and replaces the previous HEASARC tables CHANGALCEN and CHANC150PC, which were based on Muno et al. (2003, ApJ, 589, 225) and Muno et al. (2006, ApJS, 165, 173), respectively. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2009 based on the machine-readable versions of Table 2, 3 and 4 from the paper which were obtained from the electronic ApJ website.

NGC 300 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
공공데이터포털
This table contains the source catalog from a new Chandra ACIS-I observation of the nearby (2.0 Mpc) SA(s)d spiral galaxy NGC 300 which was obtained as part of the Chandra Local Volume Survey (CLVS). This 63-ks exposure covers ~88% of the D25 isophote (R ~ 6.3 kpc) and yields a catalog of 95 X-ray point sources detected at high significance down to a limiting unabsorbed 0.35-8 keV luminosity of ~ 1036 erg/s. Sources were cross-correlated with a previous XMM-Newton catalog, and the authors find 75 "X-ray transient candidate" sources that were detected by one observatory, but not the other. They derive an X-ray scale length of 1.7 +/- 0.2 kpc and a recent star formation rate of 0.12 Msun/yr in excellent agreement with optical observations. Deep, multi-color imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope, covering ~ 32% of this Chandra field, was used to search for optical counterparts to the X-ray sources, and the authors have developed a new source classification scheme to determine which sources are likely X-ray binaries, supernova remnants, and background active galactic nucleus candidates. In the reference paper, the authors present the X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) at different X-ray energies, and find the total NGC 300 X-ray point-source population to be consistent with other late-type galaxies hosting young stellar populations (<~ 50 Myr). They find that the XLF of sources associated with older stellar populations has a steeper slope than the XLF of X-ray sources coinciding with young stellar populations, consistent with theoretical predictions. NGC 300 was observed on 2010 September 25 for 63 ks using ACIS-I during the Chandra X-Ray Observatory Cycle 12, observation ID 12238. The source detection strategy that was used is described in Section 2.3 of the reference paper. ACIS-Extract (AE) was run a final time on the source list that was produces after an initial run of wavdetect followed by several iterations of AE, and the Poisson probability of not being a source (pns) value was computed in each of the following nine energy bands: 0.5 - 8.0, 0.5 - 2.0, 2.0 - 8.0, 0.5 - 1.0, 1.0 - 2.0, 2.0 - 4.0, 4.0 - 8.0, 0.35 - 1.0 and 0.35 - 8.0 keV. To be included in the final NGC 300 catalog, a source was required to have a pns value less than 4 x 10-6 in any of the nine energy bands; if only the 0.35 - 8 keV band were considered, ~4% of significant sources would have been lost. The final CLVS source catalog for NGC 300 contains 95 sources. This table was initially created by the HEASARC in September 2014 based on CDS Catalog J/ApJ/758/15/ files table4.dat, table5.dat, table6.dat and table7.dat containing the X-ray properties of the 95 Chandra point sources found in this study. The information on the optical counterparts to (some of) the Chandra X-ray sources and on the X-ray point source classification (presented in Tables 16 and 17, respectively, of the reference paper) is not included herein. It was updated in September 2015 to include the unabsorbed 0.35-8.0 keV energy fluxes (in the parameter herein called b4_flux) from the second reference paper.

VLA A370 Cluster of Galaxies 1.4-GHz Source Catalog
공공데이터포털
This table contains the 1.4-GHz source catalog for the field of the cluster of galaxies A370 as observed with the Very Large Array (VLA). This is one of the deepest radio images of a cluster field ever taken. The image covers an area of 40' x 40' with a synthesized beam of ~1.7" and a noise level of ~5.7 µJy (µJy) near the field center. The authors have cataloged 200 redshifts for the A370 field. In the reference paper, they construct differential number counts for the central regions (radius < 16') of this cluster, and find that the faint (S1.4GHz < 3 mJy) counts of A370 are roughly consistent with the highest blank field number counts. Their analyses indicate that the number counts are primarily from field radio galaxies. The authors suggest that the disagreement of their number counts for this cluster with those from a similarly deep observation of A2390 that was also presented in the reference paper can be largely attributed to cosmic variance. The authors observed the A370 cluster field with the VLA in the A configuration for ~42.4hr on-source during 1999 August and September. K. S. Dwarakanath observed A370 in the B configuration for ~18.4hr on-source during 1994 August and September. The field center is located at 02:39:32 -01:35:07 (J2000). This is offset by approximately 5 arcminutes from the cluster center at 02:39:50.5 -01:35:08. The authors also targeted 58 radio sources, in A370, that had no existing optical spectral data using the Hydra fiber spectrograph on the Wisconsin-Indiana-Yale-NOAO (WIYN) telescope (spectral window of ~4500 - 9500 Angstrom). They preferentially targeted optically bright galaxies, obtaining these data in a single two-hour pointing on 2012 January 20. Of the 58 targets, the authors obtained high-confidence redshifts for 36. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2017 based on CDS Catalog J/ApJS/202/2/ file table2.dat. This file contained 699 entries for sources detected at 1.4 GHz in the A370 field, as well as 524 entries for sources detected at 1.4 GHz in the A2390 field. Only the former are included in this HEASARC table, while the latter can be found in the HEASARC's VLA23901P4 table. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Phoenix Deep Survey Optical and Near-Infrared Counterparts Catalog
공공데이터포털
Using a deep Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) radio survey covering an area of ~3 deg2 to a 4-sigma sensitivity of >= 100 µJy (µJy) at 1.4 GHz, the authors study the nature of faint radio galaxies. The region, 2 degrees in diameter and centered on RA and Dec (J2000.0) of 1h 14m 12.16s, -45o 44' 08.0" (Galactic latitude of -71o), is known as the Phoenix Deep Field. About 50% of the detected radio sources are identified with an optical counterpart revealed by CCD photometry to mR = 22.5 magnitudes. Near-infrared (K-band) data are also available for a selected sample of the radio sources, while spectroscopic observations have been carried out for about 40% of the optically identified sample. These provide redshifts and information on the stellar content. Emission-line ratios imply that most of the emission-line sources are star-forming galaxies, with a small contribution (~ 10%) from Seyfert 1/Seyfert 2 type objects. The authors also find a significant number of absorption-line systems, likely to be ellipticals. These dominate at high flux densities ( > 1 mJy) but are also found at sub-mJy levels. Using the Balmer decrement, they find a visual extinction AV = 1.0 for the star-forming faint radio sources. This moderate reddening is consistent with the (V - R) and (R - K) colors of the optically identified sources. For emission-line galaxies, there is a correlation between the radio power and the H-alpha luminosity, in agreement with the result of Benn et al. (1993, MNRAS, 263, 98). This suggests that the radio emission of starburst radio galaxies is a good indicator of star formation activity. When calculating luminosities, the authors assume a cosmology with a Hubble constant H0 of 50 km s-1 Mpc-1 and a deceleration parameter q0 of 0.5. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2013 based on an electronic version of Table 1 from the reference paper, which details the photometric (optical and near-infrared), radio, spectroscopic and intrinsic properties of the faint radio sources in the PDS with established redshifts, which was obtained from the CDS web site (their catalog J/MNRAS/306/708 file table1.dat).

Anna Kapinska - LBA observations for project V650 semester 2024APRS
공공데이터포털
We request 8 GHz LBA observations of a nearby radio galaxy hosted by an active and likely unstable lenticular galaxy that may have underwent a minor merger in the past. Based on sub-arcsec resolution VLA observations, we propose to investigate the central 2 kpc region of the galaxy where we detected multi-component radio emission reminiscent of a relativistic jet but severely misaligned with the older large scale radio morphology (~80 deg reorientation). With this proposal we intend to verify if the detected central multi-component radio emission is indeed a relativistic jet as opposed to emission from star formation (or star bursts). This is a detection experiment and a pilot study. If the observations confirm that the radio emission is associated with a freshly launched realigned relativistic jet, a multi-epoch monitoring program will be designed and proposed in future semesters to characterise the emission and establish phenomenon at play causing the realignment.
