We present an optical to near-infrared selected astronomical catalogue covering 1270 deg.$^2$. This is the first attempt to systematically combine data from 23 of the premier extragalactic survey fields - the product of a vast investment of telescope time. The fields are those imaged by the Herschel Space Observatory which form the Herschel Extragalactic Legacy Project (HELP). Our catalogue of 170 million objects is constructed by a positional cross match of 51 public surveys. This high resolution optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared catalogue is designed for photometric redshift estimation, extraction of fluxes in lower resolution far-infrared maps, and spectral energy distribution modelling. It collates, standardises, and provides value added derived quantities including corrected aperture magnitudes and astrometry correction over the Herschel extragalactic wide fields for the first time. $grizy$ fluxes are available on all fields with $g$ band data reaching $5σ$ point-source depths in a 2 arcsec aperture of 23.5, 24.4, and 24.6 (AB) mag at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles, by area covered, across all HELP fields. It has $K$ or $K_s$ coverage over 1146 deg.$^2$ with depth percentiles of 20.2, 20.4, and 21.0 mag respectively. The IRAC Ch 1 band is available over 273 deg.$^2$ with depth percentiles of 17.7, 21.4, and 22.2 mag respectively. This paper defines the "masterlist" objects for the first data release (DR1) of HELP. This large sample of standardised total and corrected aperture fluxes, uniform quality flags, and completeness measures provides large well understood statistical samples over the full Herschel extragalactic sky.
Multiwavelength studies of X-ray selected extragalactic sample
从X射线源的光学鉴别中选出的活动星系核联合目录是作为两个样本的组合而创建的:汉堡ROSAT目录(HRC)和Byurakan-Hamburg-ROSAT目录(BHRC)。两者都是基于使用汉堡类星体巡天(HQS)的低色散光谱对ROSAT目录中的X射线源进行光学识别。然而,HRC和BHRC包含一些错误的鉴定,并使用最近的光学和多波长(MW)目录,我们已经修订了这两个样本排除假活动星系核,并添加新的真正的。从而获得了一个新的4253 X射线选择活动星系核的大的均匀完整样品。其中3352颗被列入类星体和活动星系表,387颗被列入Blazar的罗马多频表。901个候选活动星系核有待进一步研究。我们使用SDSS DR 12光谱对其中的173个天体进行了分类。结果表明:活动星系核61个,HII星系21个,发射线星系12个,吸收线星系71个,恒星2个,未知6个。特别强调窄线Sy1.0-Sy1.5星系和类星体,因为它们中的许多具有软X射线、强FeII线和来自BLR的相对窄的线("窄宽线")。结果,真正的活动星系核样本被扩大到3413个天体。我们从最近的星表中检索了MW数据,并对整个活动星系核样本进行了统计研究。试图找到不同类型源的不同波段通量之间的联系,并确定它们的特征,从而确认候选活动星系核。我们分析了这些源的X射线性质,找到了正常星系和活动星系核的X射线之间的界限。

我们报告了大量的努力,这是生产全面的高层次的年轻星团(YSC)目录的一个显着的一部分星系观察与遗产银河系外紫外线调查(LEGUS)哈勃国库计划。我们提出的方法来提取集群的位置,验证其真正的性质,产生多波段测光(从NUV到NIR),并通过光谱能量分布拟合分析得出其物理性质。我们使用附近的螺旋星系NGC628作为一个测试案例,展示了LEGUS将对我们理解YSC的形成和演化及其宿主星系内的紧凑恒星协会产生的影响。我们分析了从紫外到近红外的簇光度函数,发现在亮端和所有波长处都有一个陡峭的变化,这表明发光簇的缺乏。NGC 628的质量函数与斜率为$\sim -2$的幂律分布和$10^5$ M $_\odot$的几倍截断一致。在它们形成之后,YSC和紧密协会遵循不同的进化路径。YSC存活时间更长,证实它们是潜在的结合系统。星系团在时间尺度上的消失与恒星形成区的等级组织相当,这表明它们是一个膨胀的系统。我们发现在NGC628的内部区域存在与质量无关的星系团分裂,而在星系的外部,几乎没有或根本没有分裂。我们观察到更快的破坏率低质量($\leq$ $10^4$ M $_\odot$)集群表明,一个质量依赖的组件是必要的,以充分描述在NGC628的YSC中断过程。
