C-WAYS Spring work

Big Picture

We need to come up with a short list of papers to read in detail and discuss. We'll rotate through our short list of papers, and each of you will get one to present to the group. This is modelling a so-called "journal club", a common occurrence in astronomy departments/groups/centers, where the papers are usually selected out of recent astro-ph mailings. We will assemble this list more or less simultaneously as we are writing our proposal.

In practice, there are two kinds of papers in this list -- ones you want to read closely for the astronomy and astrophysics background, for the interpretation, for the big picture... and ones from which you need to scavenge data, and you need to read enough to understand what it was they did, and what kinds of data they are reporting.

Resolution work

C-WAYS Resolution Worksheet I hesitate to make a place for everyone to collect their answers on the wiki; in this case, I would like everyone to independently derive their own numbers and compare notes on the telecon together.

Source matching work

C-WAYS source matching work

Papers to discuss

We will eventually turn this into a nifty table like we did for the BRC Spring work page, but let's collect the papers themselves first, because working with the wiki table format is, frankly, a pain in the @$$.

Note by Babar: I am re-organzing this section. While this note is listed here, the re-organization is not complete.

The relevant papers are sorted into the 4 categories below:

Essential reading

This group of papers provides the scientific context and/or establishes known facts or conclusions about the bright rimmed clouds.

Paper	Comments	Luisa's notes	Presenter/ present with
Guieu et al., 2010, ApJ, 720, 46	NITARP 2010 team	Our paper from the IC2118 team
Rebull et al., 2011, AJ, 142, 25		our paper from the CG4+Sa101 team (I gave you hard copy of this one - strongly recommend we put this on the list)
Rebull et al., 2011, ApJS, 196, 4		our paper looking for new YSOs in Taurus using WISE (the one my recent AAS poster was based on, and I also gave you hard copy of this one - strongly recommend we put this on the list)
Rebull et al., 2011, ApJS, 196, 4	WISE+anything else we can find to find new YSOs (sound familiar?); taurus	this is very close to our analysis, though we will work in a smaller area.	discuss among the last, since methodology very similar?
Koenig et al., 2012, ApJ, 744, 130	WISE YSO selection mech in appendix	WISE-based YSO selection. Meat of paper on high-mass star formation (we aren't caring about that particularly here), but the appendix describes the color selection mechanism, and that we will use.	should read the appendix closely.
Ogura K., Sugitani K., Pickles A., 2002, AJ, 123, 2597.	Optical + 2MASS; general BRC info	Most recent of the Sugitani series of four. Using Halpha to look for YSOs, following up their other work. relevant issues: using multiple wavelengths to find YSOs (see Finding cluster members), spatial resolution (see Resolution), caveats with finding candidates. Nice intro, summary of larger issues, discussion of results. Need to be sure that this catalog is included in our list of previously known YSOs in this region, compare our results to theirs. Finding charts helpfully included so we can match obj. We should discuss this one in some depth. Maybe not the other Sugitanis, but if we do discuss the other Sugitanis ("Group S") then they should be combined here.	do this, with rest of group S
Sugitani K., Fukui Y., Ogura K., 1991, ApJS, 77, 59.	SFO article (discovery paper)	the original SFO, origin of "BRC" terminology, numbers 1-44. covers the northern hemisphere. has nice intro/summary of what's going on in BRCs, CGs, etc. Nice approach of combining two large surveys -- POSS and IRAS; nice clear discussion of weed-down process. Second half of paper (detailed analysis of IRAS colors, etc.) obsolete but has same essence as what we do now. Review with other Sugitani, Ogura papers, but can skim the surface.	do w/ group S 1991
Chauhan N, Pandey A.K., Ogura K., Ojha D.K., Bhatt B.C., Ghosh S.K., Rawat P.S., 2009, MNRAS, 396, 964	JHK and Spitzer data; BRC 27. also 2, 11, 13, 14, 38.	BRC27. Optical (BVIc)+2mass+spitzer/irac. This one we should spend considerable time on. Testing small-scale sequential star formation suggested in earlier 'group S' papers. references 'group M' papers. our method (see BRC writeup or CG4 paper) for contrast in methods. nice intro. multiwavelength and contaminants (see Finding cluster members). As I read this, they are using optical+nir to pick their YSOs, not Spitzer-driven. Whoever is presenting this needs to assess this in detail. We will find a different set of obj, not just classify them differently. Note lots of information is online only, which i attached to article pdf. analysis of Halpha-age and mass function is a bit of overinterpretation IMHO. need spectroscopy first!!	do in detail -- read closely, compare and contrast! need to scavenge data too.
Choudhury R., Mookerjea, B., Bhatt, H., 2010, ApJ, 717, 1067	BRC 38, including IRAC+MIPS	Have not read this yet! Will need to review in detail.	will need to review in detail.
Articles about BRC 38
GETMAN K.V.; FEIGELSON E.D.; GARMIRE G.; BROOS P.; WANG J, 2007, ApJ, 654, 316		discusses X-ray sources that are associated with young stars in IC 1396N (which I think is BRC 38).
Fuente, et al., 2007, A&A, 468L, 37		Looking for protostellar clusters in IC 1396N.
Neri, et al. 2007, A&A, 468, 33		found a cluster of hot cores in 1396N. This might be the same info in article above.
Beltran, et al., 2009, A&A, 504, 97B		this looked for YSOs inside the bright-rimmed cloud of IC 1396N (I believe Luisa referenced this article before)

Getman et al., 2006, ApJ, 654, 316	X-ray study of triggered star formation and protostars in IC 1396N	YES this is useful x-ray sources in the globule of ic 1396N; good pictures to help with the visualization of 1396N and these sources; evidence of sequential star formation Jackie adds: A Chandra study that found 117 x-ray sources in IC 1396N. 25 are associated with YSOs. A variety of stages (transitional Class 0/I protostar, Class I protostars, transitional Class I/II star, Class II classical T Tauri stars and Class III T Tauri stars). One of the youngest sources detected in x-ray, #66, is found close to the source IRAS 21391+5802 (also called BIMA 2). List of these sources are included. These sources were matched against 2MASS and MIR data. The authors believe there may be still undiscovered protostars because of the many massive luminous X-ray protostars found.

Should read

This group of papers is useful but not essential.

Lynds, 1962, ApJS, 7, 1	The Lynds Dark Nebula paper	POSSIBLY
Guieu, S., et al., 2010, ApJ, 720, 46 (pdf)	spitzer and optical data to find new YSOs; ic2118	the 2118 paper (from my first teacher team).... we could read this, because our work will look a lot like this, but may be better to focus time and energy on CG4 paper and Taurus with WISE paper.
Sugitani K., Ogura K., 1994, ApJS, 92, 163.	SFO into the S. Hem.	SFO/BRC catalog/nomenclature continued into the southern hemisphere. (NB: all our obj are in the N. Hem paper!). SFO/BRC numbers 45-89. Second in the Sugitani series. Again, much of detailed analysis now obsolete. Review with other Sugitani, Ogura papers, but can skim the surface.	do w/ group S 1994
Sugitani K., Tamura M., Ogura K., 1995, ApJ, 455, L39.	JHK follow-up	JHK follow-up of IRAS sources from SFO. relevant issues: using multiple wavelengths to find YSOs (see Finding cluster members), spatial resolution (see Resolution). Shame on them for not publishing a data table or even a figure with the locations of everything they identify as a YSO! BRC 27 is one that they choose to include in a finder chart, but doesn't do us much good. Nice summary of larger issues, timescales. Short paper. Review with other Sugitani, Ogura papers, but can skim the surface.	do w/ group S 1995
Rebull et al., 2011, AJ, 142, 25	Spitzer+optical to find new YSOs; cg4.	this is very close to our analysis, though we will use WISE instead of Spitzer.	discuss among the last, since methodology very similar?
Gregorio-Hetem J., Montmerle T., Rodrigues C. V., Marciotto E., Preibisch T., Zinnecker H., 2009, A&A, 506, 711.	X-rays; brc27 -- using multiple wavelengths and methods to find YSOs	BRC 27. ROSAT+VRI data. relevant issues: using multiple wavelengths to find YSOs (see Finding cluster members), spatial resolution (see Resolution). Mentions Chandra, XMM data, both of which would cover BRC 27, but I can't find the subsequent analysis that they advertise. We need to include this catalog in what we accumulate, and compare our results to theirs. Not clear if we need to actually discuss it or not.	should read enough to understand and scavenge data.
Shevchenko V. S., Ezhkova O. V., Ibrahimov M. A., van den Ancker M. E., Tjin A, Djie H. R. E., 1999, MNRAS, 310, 210.	Optical; BRC 27 and BRC 34	BRC 27 only. optical. age, distance estimate. photoelectric UBVR(!) and objective prism spectroscopy for Halpha and spectral types. combined with IRAS. using multiple wavelengths to find YSOs (see Finding cluster members). We need to include this catalog in what we accumulate, and compare our results to theirs. This is not necessarily a trivial task, as they have photographic 1950 coordinates, which will need to be precessed and then matched to a 2mass source to get a more recent position estimate (they have finding charts, which should help), but it only needs to be done for the objects in our field of view (our data). Not clear if we need to actually discuss it or not. It's old methodology (from an Uzbecki telescope), but good stuff, especially the spectral types. nice "put-it-in-context" discussion at the top for the entire CMa R1 region.	should read enough to understand and scavenge data.
Wiramihardja S.D., Kogure T., Nakano M., Yoshida S., 1986, PASJ, 38, 395.	Optical; brc 27	BRC 27. Halpha plus photographic UBV.(!) using multiple wavelengths to find YSOs (see Finding cluster members). We need to include this catalog in what we accumulate, and compare our results to theirs. This is not necessarily a trivial task, as they have photographic 1950 coordinates, which will need to be precessed and then matched to a 2mass source to get a more recent position estimate (they say they have finding charts, which should help), but it only needs to be done for the objects in our field of view (our data). Nice cross matching that they've already done for their previously identified objects. Not clear if we need to actually discuss it or not. It's a really old paper.	should read enough to understand and scavenge data.

Nakano et al., 2012, AJ, 143, 61	Media:Nagano_2012.pdf	Wide Field Survey of Emission-line Stars in IC 1396. Nakano reports a total of 639 Hα emission-line stars were detected in an area of 4.2 deg2 and their i′-photometry was measured. Their spatial distribution exhibits several aggregates near the elephant trunk globule (Rim A) and bright-rimmed clouds at the edge of the H ii region (Rim B and SFO 37, 38, 39, 41), and near HD 206267, which is the main exciting star of the H ii region.” Jackie adds:H alpha emission is characteristic of young low mass stars because these emissions are characteristic of T Tauri stars. They found 5 of Getman’s x-ray sources in BRC 38 matched H alpha stars they saw. They suggest the primary mode of star formation in IC 1396 is the birth of low-mass stars associated with bright rims. Data charts and images showing locations included.
Nisini et al., 2001, A&A 376, 553	Multiple H2 protostellar jets in the bright-rimmed globule IC 1396-N	Jets can be HH objects, or can create them. probably useful to scan this in conjunction with some of the other outflow/hh object papers on this list. 1st detection of H2 jets from YSO. Are these HH objects? Lauren adds:The H2 excitation inside the globule could be from either shocks driven by the outflow of YSOs or to UV induced fluorescence from the external ionized region. Evidence suggests that the jets are likely shocked gas along stellar jets. The conclusion states that the emissions originate from non-dissociative shocks, and that they are associated with the most embedded and youngest objects of the field. The near IR confirms the existence of a cluster of young embedded sources and highly efficient star formation activity. Triggered mechanisms are not favored, due to the ionization front.
Reipurth et al., 2003, ApJ, 123, 2597-2626	Blowout from IC 1396N: The emergence of Herbig-Haro objects in the vicinity of bright-rimmed clouds	Reipurth et al usually work in Ha or forbidden emission lines to find HH objects. look to see if they have a list of objects in the region we care about, or if this is a more general paper. Herbig-Haro flow (HH 777) found coming out of ic 1396N; located at 214041.6+581638 Jackie adds: IC 1396N were imaged with H alpha and S2 filters and four new HH flows were found, HH 777, 778, 779, and 780. While many near-infrared sources were found that apparently are young stars this study focused on the HH flows found. Computer modeling was used to find a match for observed features. No list of sources is included. (in IR, I think)
Beltran et al., 2002, ApJ, 573, 1	IRAS 21391+5802: The Molecular Outflow and its Exciting source	This is probably worth looking at to see if there is anything point source-y in here. VLA and BIMA observations of dust and gas surrounding IRAS source; 3 sources isolated with BIMA, each a YSO Lauren adds: Really good text about the intermediate mass star morphology and evolution compared to that of the low mass stars. There is a table at the end that has point source information of BIMA observations of 5 epochs with bandwidth and spectral resolution. A table with 5 sources and flux density and spectral index, another table with millimeter flux densitites, for 3 BIMA sources, and a table with CO outflow properties.
Connelley et al., 2006, AJ, 133, 4	Infrared Nebulae around Young stellar objects	Check this to see if there is anything point source-y in here. IRAS 21391+5802 - images show jet-like nebula and large patches of nebulosity Jackie adds: IRAS located a source at 21391+5802 that is thought to be a low mass Class 0 source (Beltran et al. 2002, 2004). This source has H2 emission in the form of bow shocks.

BRC 34 observed, not detected. nice intro that puts their work in context with the rest of what they've done. Lots more non-dets, interpreted as forming low mass and/or older stars than had been assumed. I think they've gotten the interpretation spot-on.	scan if you want
Soares J.B., Bica E., 2002, A&A, 388, 172.	OLD 2MASS obs of BRC 27	BRC 27. 2MASS. Editing ghastly. Really simple paper. In theory, we should include their results in what we accumulate, and compare our results, though (a) they are using "prehistoric" 2mass data reduction, and (b) they really make it hard, as they don't even tell us how many YSOs they think they've found, just the numbers of objects for which they've done photometry. So I don't think we really can compare our results to this one. However, nice "put it in larger context" discussion with wide-field IRAS image.	skip it unless you want to see the IRAS image.
Soares J.B., Bica E., 2003, A&A, 404, 217.	2MASS + optical	Simple paper elsewhere in the same cloud as BRC 27. Same sort of 2MASS analysis as their 2002 paper. Still archaic 2MASS data reduction. Skip it.	skip it.

Morgan L. K., Thompson M. A., Urquhart J. S., White G. J., Mio J., 2004, A&A, 426, 535. note has erratum too.	Radio and mid-ir survey	NRAO/NVSS/VLA (20cm), DSS, MSX data. both 27 and 34 in here, though 34 is a non-det. nice intro to the physics, though they get into far more math than we need to. relevant issues: this radio is thermal (free-free emission). they smoothed data -- spatial resolution (see Resolution). another nice use of three big surveys. sfo 27 in the online-only fig 1. T3 also online only. identifying ionizing source is not the same as identifying point sources in the images themselves. it's not clear that this is all that relevant for us. part of a PhD thesis.	Drop... if you want to, read with "Group M" but skip the math. 2004
Morgan L. K., Thompson M. A., Urquhart J. S., White G. J., 2008, A&A, 477, 557.	SCUBA survey	SCUBA submm survey (450+850 um) plus IRAS (12, 25, 60, 100 um), MSX, and 2MASS (erroneously identified as 2mm but really 2 micron). both 27 and 34 in here. next part of a PhD thesis. lots of nice overview, summary (as would be expected for a thesis) spread throughout article. seems to be a really long paper, but is almost all figures in the appendix. relevant issues: how the objects they are talking about (at long and short wavelengths) compare to what we see in our images (see Resolution and their, e.g., fig 4). Forward reference to Spitzer data analysis like ours but then says have already looked for GLIMPSE, 24 um obs. They are only looking at low-res flux densities. Appendix may be useful for scavenging additional targets if we want to do more analysis on more targets.	Probably the most worth reading of "Group M"; skip the math. 2008
Morgan L. K., Urquhart J. S., Thompson M. A., 2009, MNRAS, 400, 1726.	Radio, mid-ir, SCUBA observations; redefined SFO catalog	JCMT (CO) observations. both 27 and 34 in here. 22 arcsec resolution! (see Resolution and their fig 2 here.) Likely last of his thesis, or first of his postdoc. (Look, his address changed, so this was published while he was a postdoc, but it's the same collaborators as before at his old institution, so my guess it's leftover thesis work.) They think 27 has been triggered, 34 not; this provides a nice compare-and-contrast opportunity for our write-up. Quick read.	read with "Group M" for fig 2. 2009
Valdettaro R., Palla F., Brand J., Cesaroni R., 2005, A&A, 443, 535.	Radio survey of water masers	22.2 GHz (=1.35 cm if I did my math right). Really nice intro summarizing the big picture. Following up on Morgan and similar work asserting high-mass stars forming in BRCs by looking for masers. Our objects observed, not detected. Finding lots of non-detections, suggesting that low-mass stars forming instead. Nice, short writeup of basically a non-result, and I think they've gotten the interpretation spot-on. Nice to at least scan after the Morgan stuff for context. larger issues: spatial resolution (see Resolution). Again!! :)	scan if you want
