VLA Goulds Belt Survey Perseus Region Source Catalog
공공데이터포털
This table contains a source catalog from multi-epoch, large-scale (~2,000 arcmin
2), fairly deep (~16 microJansky or uJy), high-resolution (~1") radio observations of the Perseus star-forming complex that were obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) at frequencies of 4.5 and 7.5 GHz. These observations were mainly focused on the clouds NGC 1333 and IC 348, although the authors also observed several fields in other parts of the Perseus complex. They detect a total of 206 sources, 42 of which are associated with young stellar objects (YSOs). The radio properties of about 60% of the YSOs are compatible with a non-thermal radio emission origin. Based on their sample, the authors find a fairly clear relation between the prevalence of non-thermal radio emission and the evolutionary status of the YSOs. By comparing their results with previously reported X-ray observations, they show that YSOs in Perseus follow a Gudel-Benz relation with a value of the kappa parameter (L
X/L
rad = kappa x 10
(15.5 +/- 1) [Hz]) of 0.03, consistent with other regions of star formation. The authors argue that most of the sources detected in their observations that are not associated with known YSOs are extragalactic, but provide a list in the reference paper Of 20 unidentified radio sources whose radio properties are consistent with them being YSO candidates. Finally, they also detect five sources with extended emission features that can clearly be associated with radio galaxies. The observations were collected with the VLA of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in B and BnA configurations. Two frequency sub-bands, each 1 GHz wide and centered at 4.5 and 7.5 GHz, respectively, were recorded simultaneously. The observations were obtained in three observing sessions, on 2011 March 06/13, April 14/25, and May 01/02/10/19/22, typically separated from one another by a month. This dual-frequency, multi-epoch strategy was chosen to enable the characterization of the spectral index and variability of the detected sources, as well as to help with the identification of the emission mechanisms. The locations of the VLA observations are shown in Figure 1 of the reference paper. Other details of the observations are given in Table 1 of the reference paper. The approximate positions of the two main fields observed are:

VLA Goulds Belt Survey Ophiuchus Complex Source Catalog
공공데이터포털
This table contains results from large-scale (~2000 arcmin2), deep (~20 µJy), high-resolution (~1") radio observations of the Ophiuchus star-forming complex obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) at wavelengths of 4 and 6 cm (frequencies of 7.5 and 4.5 GHz). In total, 189 sources were detected, 56 of them associated with known young stellar objects (YSOs), and 4 with known extragalactic objects; the other 129 remain unclassified, but most of them are most probably background quasars. The vast majority of the young stars detected at radio wavelengths have spectral types K or M, although four objects of A/F/B types and two brown dwarf candidates are also detected. At least half of these young stars are non-thermal (gyrosynchrotron) sources, with active coronae characterized by high levels of variability, negative spectral indices, and (in some cases) significant circular polarization. As expected, there is a clear tendency for the fraction of non-thermal sources to increase from the younger (Class 0/I or flat spectrum) to the more evolved (Class III or weak-line T Tauri) stars. The young stars detected both in X-rays and at radio wavelengths broadly follow a Gudel-Benz relation, but with a different normalization than the most radio-active types of stars. Finally, the authors detected a ~70 mJy compact extragalactic source near the center of the Ophiuchus core, which should be used as gain calibrator for any future radio observations of this region. The observations were obtained with the JVLA of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO). Two frequency sub-bands, each 1-GHz wide, and centered at 4.5 and 7.5 GHz, respectively, were recorded simultaneously. The observations were obtained on three different epochs (2011 February 17/19, April 3/4, and May 4/6) typically separated from one another by a month. The angular resolution of the observations is of the order of 1 arcsecond. To identify sources in their observations, the authors used the images corresponding to the concatenation of the three epochs, which provided the highest sensitivity. The criteria used to consider a detection as firm were: (1) sources with reported counterparts and a flux larger than four times the rms noise of the area, or (2) sources with a flux larger than five times the rms noise of the area and without reported counterparts. The authors searched the literature for previous radio detections, and for counterparts at X-ray, optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared wavelengths. The search was done in SIMBAD, and accessed all the major catalogs (listed explicitly in the footnote of Table 3 in the reference paper). Note that the Spitzer c2d catalog includes cross-references to other major catalogs which were taken into account in their counterpart search. The authors considered a radio source associated with a counterpart at another wavelengths if the separation between the two was below the combined uncertainties of the two data sets. This was about 1.5 arcseconds for the optical and infrared catalogs, but could be significantly larger for some of the radio catalogs (for instance, the NVSS has a positional uncertainty of about 5 arcseconds). The authors found that only 76 of the sources detected here had previously been reported at radio wavelengths (matches are listed in the radio_name parameter in such cases), while the other 113 are new radio detections. On the other hand, they found a total of 100 counterparts at other wavelengths. Note that there are a significant number of sources that were previously known at radio wavelengths and have known counterparts at other frequencies. As a consequence, the number of sources that were previously known (at any frequency) is 134, while 55 of the sources in this sample are reported here for the first time. The authors argue that most of these 55 objects are likely background sources. They note, however, that 18 of the 129 unclassified objects (55 identified here for the first
VLA Goulds Belt Survey Taurus-Auriga Complex Source Catalog
공공데이터포털
This table contains results from a multi-epoch radio study of the Taurus-Auriga complex made with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) at frequencies of 4.5 GHz and 7.5 GHz. A total of 610 sources were detected, 59 of which are related to young stellar objects (YSOs) and 18 to field stars. The properties of 56% of the young stars are compatible with non-thermal radio emission. The authors also show that the radio emission of more evolved YSOs tends to be more non-thermal in origin and, in general, that their radio properties are compatible with those found in other star-forming regions. By comparing their results with previously reported X-ray observations, the authors noticed that YSOs in Taurus-Auriga follow a Guedel-Benz relation with a scaling factor, kappa, of 0.03, as they previously suggested for other regions of star formation. In general, YSOs in Taurus-Auriga and in all the previous studied regions seem to follow this relation with a dispersion of ~1 dex. Finally, the authors propose that most of the remaining sources are related with extragalactic objects but provide a list of 46 unidentified radio sources whose radio properties are compatible with a YSO nature (identified in this implementation of their catalog by values for the parameter radio_yso_flag of 'Y'). The observations were obtained with the JVLA of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in its B and BnA configuration. Two frequency sub-bands, each 1 GHz wide, and centered at 4.5 and 7.5 GHz, respectively, were recorded simultaneously. The observations were obtained in three different time periods (February 25/26/28 to March 6, April 12/17/20/25, and April 30 to May 1/5/14/22, all in 2011) typically separated from one another by a month: see Table 1 of the reference paper for more details. For their study, the authors observed 127 different target fields distributed across the cloud complex (Figure 1 of the reference paper). The fields were chosen to cover previously known YSOs. In 33 of those fields, the authors could observe more than one YSO target, while in the remaining 94 fields, only one YSO was targeted. In most cases, the infrared evolutionary class (i.e., Classes I, II, or III) or T Tauri evolutionary status (classical or weak line) of the targeted sources was known from the literature. The final images covered circular areas of 8.8 and 14.3 arcminutes in diameter, for the 7.5 and 4.5 GHz sub-bands, respectively, and were corrected for the effects of the position-dependent primary beam response. The noise levels reached for each individual observation was about ~40 µJy and ~30 µJy, at 4.5 GHz and7.5 GHz, respectively. The visibilities of the three, or two, observations obtained for each field were concatenated to produce a new image with a lower noise level (of about ~25 µJy at 4.5 GHz and ~18 µJy at 7.5 GHz). The angular resolution of ~1 arcsecond (see the synthesized beam sizes in Table 1 of the reference paper) allows an uncertainty in position of ~0.1 arcseconds or better. In the observed area, there are a total of 196 known YSOs.The first step was the identification of radio sources in the observed fields. The authors follow the procedure and criteria presented by Dzib et al. (2013, ApJ, 775, 63) who consider a detection as firm if the sources have a flux larger than 4 times the noise level and there is a counterpart known at another wavelength, else they require a flux which is 5 times the noise level. The identification was done using the images corresponding to the concatenation of the observed epochs, which provides the highest sensitivity. From this, a total of 609 sources were detected. Of these sources, 215 were only detected in the 4.5 GHz sub-band, while six were only detected in the 7.5 GHz sub-band. The remaining 388 sources were detected in both sub-bands. The authors searched the literature for previous radio detections, and for counterparts at X-ray, optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared wavelengths. The
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 deg
2 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 ~ nu
alpha) 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 Goulds Belt Survey Serpens Region Source Catalog
공공데이터포털
This table contains results from a deep (~17 µJy) radio continuum observations of the Serpens molecular cloud, the Serpens south cluster, and the W40 region that were obtained using the Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) in its A configuration. The authors detected a total of 146 sources, 29 of which are young stellar objects (YSOs), 2 of which are BV stars, and 5 more of which are associated with phenomena related to YSOs. Based on their radio variability and spectral index, the authors propose that about 16 of the remaining 110 unclassified sources are also YSOs. For approximately 65% of the known YSOs detected here as radio sources, the emission is most likely non-thermal and related to stellar coronal activity. As also recently observed in Ophiuchus, this sample of YSOs with X-ray counterparts lies below the fiducial Guedel & Benz (1993, ApJ, 405, L63) relation. In the reference paper, the authors analyze the proper motions of nine sources in the W40 region, thus allowing them to better constrain the membership of the radio sources in the region. The Serpens molecular cloud and the Serpens South cluster were observed in the same observing sessions on three different epochs (2011 June 17, July 19, and September 12 UT), using 25 and 4 pointings, respectively, with the JVLA at 4.5 and 4.5GHz. The W40 region, on the other hand, was only observed on two epochs (2011 June 17 and July 16), using 13 pointings. The details of the observations are listed in Table 1 of the reference paper. The authors adopted the same criteria as Dzib et al. (2013, ApJ, 775, 63) to consider a detection as firm. For new sources, i.e., those without reported counterparts in the literature, they considered 5-sigma detections, where sigma is the rms noise of the area around the source. For known sources with counterparts in the literature, on the other hand, they included 4-sigma detections. According to these criteria, they detected 94 sources in the Serpens molecular cloud, 41 in the W40 region, and 8 in the Serpens South cluster, for a total of 143 detections. Out of the 143 sources, 69 are new detections (see Section 3.2 of the reference paper). GBS-VLA source positions were compared with source positions from X-ray, optical, near-IR, mid-IR, and radio catalogs. GBS-VLA sources were considered to have a counterpart at another wavelength when the positional coincidences were better than the combined uncertainties of the two data sets. These were about 1 arcsecond for the IR catalogs. For the X-ray and radio catalogs it depended on the instrument and its configuration. The search was done in SIMBAD and included all the major catalogs. The authors also accessed the lists with all YSOs in the c2d-GB clouds compiled by Dunham et al.(2013, AJ, 145, 94) and L.E. Allen et al. (2015, in preparation). In total, 354 c2d-GB sources lie inside the regions observed by the present survey. In order to find their radio counterparts, the authors imaged regions of 64 pixels in each dimension, centered in the c2d-GB positions, and combining accordingly with each region, the three or two epochs. For this search, they only used the field whose phase center was closest to the source. Three additional radio sources were found in Serpens South in this pursuit, increasing the number of the radio detections to 146. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2015 based on electronic versions of Tables 2, 3 and 6 from the reference paper, which were obtained from the CDS (Catalog J/ApJ/805/9 files table2.dat, table3.dat and table6.dat).

VLA-COSMOS Project 1.4-GHz Joint Source Catalog
공공데이터포털
In the context of the VLA-COSMOS Deep project, additional VLA A array observations at 1.4 GHz were obtained for the central degree of the COSMOS field and combined with the existing data from the VLA-COSMOS Large project. A newly constructed Deep mosaic with a resolution of 2.5 arcseconds was used to search for sources down to 4 sigma with 1 sigma ~ 12 µJy beam-1 in the central 50' x 50'. This new catalog is combined with the catalog from the Large project (obtained at 1.5" x 1.4" resolution) to construct a new Joint catalog. All sources listed in the new Joint catalog have peak flux densities of >= 5 sigma at 1.5" and/or 2.5" resolution to account for the fact that a significant fraction of sources at these low flux levels are expected to be slightly resolved at 1.5" resolution. All properties listed in the Joint catalog, such as peak flux density, integrated flux density, and source size, are determined in the 2.5" resolution Deep image. In addition, the Joint catalog contains 43 newly identified multi-component sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2010 based on the electronic version of Table 3 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJ web site.

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 (S
1.4GHz < 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

M 17 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
공공데이터포털
This table contains some of the results from a Chandra ACIS observation of the stellar populations in and around the M17 H II region. The field reveals 886 sources (listed in the present table) with observed X-ray luminosities (uncorrected for absorption) between ~ 29.3 erg s-1 < log LX < 32.8 erg s-1, 771 of which have stellar counterparts in infrared images. Spectral analysis results for the 598 brightest X-ray sources which have photometric significance of 2.0 or greater) are also given herein. For 546 of the X-ray sources, the fits used the "wabs(apec)" thermal plasma model in XSPEC assuming scaled 0.3 times solar photospheric abundances, while for the other 52 X-ray sources for which either the thermal model poorly described the data or required nonphysical parameters and the X-ray source was not identified with a known stellar counterpart, the fits used the "wabs(powerlaw)" model in XSPEC. In addition to the comprehensive tabulation of X-ray source properties, several other results were presented in the reference paper: 1. The X-ray luminosity function is calibrated to that of the Orion Nebula Cluster population to infer a total population of roughly 8000-10,000 stars in M17, one-third lying in the central NGC 6618 cluster. 2. About 40% of the ACIS sources are heavily obscured with AV > 10 mag. Some are concentrated around well-studied star-forming regions -- IRS 5/UC1, the Kleinmann-Wright Object, and M17-North -- but most are distributed across the field. As previously shown, star formation appears to be widely distributed in the molecular clouds. X-ray emission is detected from 64 of the hundreds of Class I protostar candidates that can be identified by near- and mid-infrared colors. These constitute the most likely protostar candidates known in M17. 3. The spatial distribution of X-ray stars is complex: in addition to the central NGC 6618 cluster and well-known embedded groups, we find a new embedded cluster (designated M17-X), a 2 pc long arc of young stars along the southwest edge of the M17 H II region, and 0.1 pc substructure within various populations. These structures may indicate that the populations are dynamically young. 4. All (14/14) of the known O stars but only about half (19/34) of the known B0-B3 stars in the M17 field are detected. These stars exhibit the long-reported correlation between X-ray and bolometric luminosities of LX ~ 10-7 Lbol. While many O and early-B stars show the soft X-ray emission expected from microshocks in their winds or moderately hard emission that could be caused by magnetically channeled wind shocks, six of these stars exhibit very hard thermal plasma components (kT > 4 keV) that may be due to colliding wind binaries. More than 100 candidate new OB stars are found, including 28 X-ray detected intermediate- and high-mass protostar candidates with infrared excesses. 5. Only a small fraction (perhaps 10%) of X-ray selected high- and intermediate-mass stars exhibit K-band-emitting protoplanetary disks, providing further evidence that inner disks evolve very rapidly around more massive stars.
