The XXL Survey: I. Scientific motivations - XMM-Newton observing plan - Follow-up observations and simulation programme
M. Pierre, F. Pacaud, C. Adami +89
We present the XXL Survey, the largest XMM programme totaling some 6.9 Ms to date and involving an international consortium of roughly 100 members. The XXL Survey covers two extrag…
The reversal of the SF-density relation in a massive, X-ray selected galaxy cluster at z=1.58: results from Herschel
Joana S. Santos, . Bruno Altieri, Ivan Valtchanov +8
Dusty, star-forming galaxies have a critical role in the formation and evolution of massive galaxies in the Universe. Using deep far-infrared imaging in the range 100-500um obtaine…
The Pointing System of the Herschel Space Observatory. Description, Calibration, Performance and Improvements
Miguel Sánchez-Portal, Anthony Marston, Bruno Altieri +14
We present the activities carried out to calibrate and characterise the performance of the elements of attitude control and measurement on board the Herschel spacecraft. The main c…
Star formation in the massive cluster merger Abell 2744
T. D. Rawle, B. Altieri, E. Egami +8
We present a comprehensive study of star-forming (SF) galaxies in the HST Frontier Field recent cluster merger A2744 (z=0.308). Wide-field, ultraviolet-infrared (UV-IR) imaging ena…
Herschel celestial calibration sources: Four large main-belt asteroids as prime flux calibrators for the far-IR/sub-mm range
T. G. Mueller, Z. Balog, M. Nielbock +9
Celestial standards play a major role in observational astrophysics. They are needed to characterise the performance of instruments and are paramount for photometric calibration. D…
The Herschel-PACS photometer calibration: Point-source flux calibration for scan maps
Zoltan Balog, Thomas Müller, Markus Nielbock +9
This paper provides an overview of the PACS photometer flux calibration concept, in particular for the principal observation mode, the scan map. The absolute flux calibration is ti…
The Herschel PACS photometer calibration - A time dependent flux calibration for the PACS chopped point-source photometry AOT mode
Markus Nielbock, Thomas Müller, Ulrich Klaas +7
We present a flux calibration scheme for the PACS chopped point-source photometry observing mode based on the photometry of five stellar standard sources. This mode was used for sc…
The effect of the high-pass filter data reduction technique on the Herschel PACS Photometer PSF and noise
P. Popesso, B. Magnelli, S. Buttiglione +36
We investigate the effect of the "high-pass filter" data reduction technique on the Herschel PACS PSF and noise of the PACS maps at the 70, 100 and 160 um bands and in medium and f…
Rapid Coeval Black Hole and Host Galaxy Growth in MRC 1138-262: The Hungry Spider
N. Seymour, B. Altieri, C. De Breuck +30
We present a detailed study of the infrared spectral energy distribution of the high-redshift radio galaxy MRC 1138-26 at z = 2.156, also known as the Spiderweb Galaxy. By combinin…
The starburst-AGN connection in the merger galaxy Mrk 938: an infrared and X-ray view
P. Esquej, A. Alonso-Herrero, A. M. Pérez-García +14
Mrk938 is a luminous infrared galaxy in the local Universe believed to be the remnant of a galaxy merger. It shows a Seyfert 2 nucleus and intense star formation according to optic…
PACS-Herschel FIR detections of Lyman-alpha emitters at 2.0<z<3.5
I. Oteo, A. Bongiovanni, A. M. Pérez García +23
In this work we analyze the physical properties of a sample of 56 spectroscopically selected star-forming (SF) Ly emitting galaxies at 2.0z3.5 using both a s…
Far infrared constraints on the contamination by dust obscured galaxies of high-z dropout searches
F. Boone, D. Schaerer, R. Pello +23
The spectral energy distributions (SED) of dusty galaxies at intermediate redshift may look similar to very high redshift galaxies in the optical/near infrared (NIR) domain. This c…
