On the basis of the PPMXL catalogue we perform an all-sky census of the Hyades down to masses of about 0.2 m_sun in a region up to 30 pc from the cluster centre. We use the proper motions from PPMXL in the convergent point method to determine probable kinematic members. From 2MASS photometry and CMC14 r-band photometry, we derive empirical colour-absolute magnitude diagrams and, finally, determine photometric membership for all kinematic candidates. This is the first deep (r < 17) all-sky survey of the Hyades allowing a full three-dimensional analysis of the cluster. The survey is complete down to at least M_{K_s} = 7.3 or 0.25 m_sun. We find 724 stellar systems co-moving with the bulk Hyades space velocity, which represent a total mass of 435 m_sun. The tidal radius is about 9 pc, and 275 m_sun (364 systems) are gravitationally bound. This is the cluster proper. Its mass density profile is perfectly fitted by a Plummer model with a central density of 2.21 m_sun*pc^-3 and a core radius of r_co = 3.10 pc, while the half-mass radius is r_h = 4.1 pc. There are another 100 m_sun in a volume between one and two tidal radii (halo), and another 60 m_sun up to a distance of 30 pc from the centre. Strong mass segregation is inherent in the cluster. The present-day luminosity and mass functions are noticeably different in various parts of the cluster (core, corona, halo, and co-movers). They are strongly evolved compared to presently favoured initial mass functions. The analysis of the velocity dispersion of the cluster shows that about 20% of its members must be binaries. As a by-product, we find that presently available theoretical isochrones are not able to adequately describe the near-infrared colour-absolute magnitude relation for those cluster stars that are less massive than about 0.6 m_sun.

We present deep, narrowband imaging of the nearby spiral galaxy M101 and its group environment to search for star-forming dwarf galaxies and outlying HII regions. Using the Burrell Schmidt telescope, we target the brightest emission lines of star-for
ming regions, H$alpha$, H$beta$, and [OIII], to detect potential outlying star-forming regions. Our survey covers $sim$6 square degrees around M101, and we detect objects in emission down to an H$alpha$ flux level of $5.7 times 10^{-17}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ (equivalent to a limiting SFR of $1.7 times 10^{-6}$ $M_odot$ yr$^{-1}$ at the distance of M101). After careful removal of background contaminants and foreground M stars, we detect 19 objects in emission in all three bands, and 8 objects in emission in H$alpha$ and [OIII]. We compare the structural and photometric properties of the detected sources to Local Group dwarf galaxies and star-forming galaxies in the 11HUGS and SINGG surveys. We find no large population of outlying HII regions or undiscovered star-forming dwarfs in the M101 Group, as most sources (93%) are consistent with being M101 outer disk HII regions. Only two sources were associated with other galaxies: a faint star-forming satellite of the background galaxy NGC 5486, and a faint outlying HII region near the M101 companion NGC 5474. We also find no narrowband emission associated with recently discovered ultradiffuse galaxies and starless HI clouds near M101. The lack of any hidden population of low luminosity star-forming dwarfs around M101 suggests a rather shallow faint end slope (as flat as $alpha sim -1.0$) for the star-forming luminosity function in the M101 Group. We discuss our results in the context of tidally-triggered star formation models and the interaction history of the M101 Group.
Context: Using the recent observational data of Roser et al. we present $N$-body simulations of the Hyades open cluster. Aims: We make an attempt to determine initial conditions of the Hyades cluster at the time of its formation in order to reproduce
the present-day cumulative mass profile, stellar mass and luminosity function (LF). Methods: We performed direct $N$-body simulations of the Hyades in an analytic Milky Way potential that account for stellar evolution and include primordial binaries in a few models. Furthermore, we applied a Kroupa (2001) IMF and used extensive ensemble-averaging. Results: We find that evolved single-star King initial models with King parameters $W_0 = 6-9$ and initial particle numbers $N_0 = 3000$ provide good fits to the observational present-day cumulative mass profile within the Jacobi radius. The best-fit King model has an initial mass of $1721 M_odot$ and an average mass loss rate of $-2.2 M_odot/mathrm{Myr}$. The K-band LFs of models and observations show a reasonable agreement. Mass segregation is detected in both observations and models. If 33% primordial binaries are included the initial particle number is reduced by 5% as compared to the model without primordial binaries. Conclusions: The present-day properties of the Hyades can be well reproduced by a standard King or Plummer initial model when choosing appropriate initial conditions. The degeneracy of good-fitting models can be quite high due to the large dimension of the parameter space. More simulations with different Roche-lobe filling factors and primordial binary fractions are required to explore this degeneracy in more detail.
We present an analysis of the diffuse emission at 5 GHz in the first quadrant of the Galactic plane using two months of preliminary intensity data taken with the C-Band All Sky Survey (C-BASS) northern instrument at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory
, California. Combining C-BASS maps with ancillary data to make temperature-temperature plots we find synchrotron spectral indices of $beta = -2.65 pm 0.05$ between 0.408 GHz and 5 GHz and $ beta = -2.72 pm 0.09$ between 1.420 GHz and 5 GHz for $-10^{circ} < |b| < -4^{circ}$, $20^{circ} < l < 40^{circ}$. Through the subtraction of a radio recombination line (RRL) free-free template we determine the synchrotron spectral index in the Galactic plane ($ |b| < 4^{circ}$) to be $beta = -2.56 pm 0.07$ between 0.408 GHz and 5 GHz, with a contribution of $53 pm 8$ per cent from free-free emission at 5,GHz. These results are consistent with previous low frequency measurements in the Galactic plane. By including C-BASS data in spectral fits we demonstrate the presence of anomalous microwave emission (AME) associated with the HII complexes W43, W44 and W47 near 30 GHz, at 4.4 sigma, 3.1 sigma and 2.5 sigma respectively. The CORNISH VLA 5 GHz source catalogue rules out the possibility that the excess emission detected around 30;GHz may be due to ultra-compact HII regions. Diffuse AME was also identified at a 4 sigma level within $30^{circ} < l < 40^{circ}$, $-2^{circ} < b < 2^{circ}$ between 5 GHz and 22.8 GHz.
We present a far-infrared all-sky atlas from a sensitive all-sky survey using the Japanese $AKARI$ satellite. The survey covers $> 99$% of the sky in four photometric bands centred at 65 $mu$m, 90 $mu$m, 140 $mu$m, and 160 $mu$m with spatial resoluti
ons ranging from 1 to 1.5 arcmin. These data provide crucial information for the investigation and characterisation of the properties of dusty material in the Interstellar Medium (ISM), since significant portion of its energy is emitted between $sim$50 and 200 $mu$m. The large-scale distribution of interstellar clouds, their thermal dust temperatures and column densities, can be investigated with the improved spatial resolution compared to earlier all-sky survey observations. In addition to the point source distribution, the large-scale distribution of ISM cirrus emission, and its filamentary structure, are well traced. We have made the first public release of the full-sky data to provide a legacy data set for use by the astronomical community.
We demonstrate the capability of AKARI for mapping diffuse far-infrared emission and achieved reliability of all-sky diffuse map. We have conducted an all-sky survey for more than 94 % of the whole sky during cold phase of AKARI observation in 2006 F
eb. -- 2007 Aug. The survey in far-infrared waveband covers 50 um -- 180 um with four bands centered at 65 um, 90 um, 140 um, and 160 um and spatial resolution of 3000 -- 4000 (FWHM).This survey has allowed us to make a revolutionary improvement compared to the IRAS survey that was conducted in 1983 in both spatial resolution and sensitivity after more than a quarter of a century. Additionally, it will provide us the first all-sky survey data with high-spatial resolution beyond 100 um. Considering its extreme importance of the AKARI far-infrared diffuse emission map, we are now investigating carefully the quality of the data for possible release of the archival data. Critical subjects in making image of diffuse emission from detected signal are the transient response and long-term stability of the far-infrared detectors. Quantitative evaluation of these characteristics is the key to achieve sensitivity comparable to or better than that for point sources (< 20 -- 95 [MJy/sr]). We describe current activities and progress that are focused on making high quality all-sky survey images of the diffuse far-infrared emission.
