Abstract:
We present an optical spectroscopic atlas for 123 core-dominated
radio-loud active galactic nuclei with relativistic jets, drawn from
the MOJAVE/2cm (Monitoring of Jets in AGN with VLBA Experiments)
sample at 15GHz. It is the first time that spectroscopic and
photometric parameters for a large sample of such type of AGN are
presented.
Description:
The atlas includes spectral parameters for the emission lines Hβ,
[OIII] 5007, MgII 2798 and/or CIV 1549 and corresponding data for
the continuum, as well as the luminosities and equivalent widths of
the FeII UV/optical. It also contains homogeneous photometric
information in the B-band for 242 sources of the MOJAVE/2cm sample.
These data were acquired at 2.1m mexican telescopes: Observatorio
Astronomico Nacional in San Pedro Martir (OAN-SPM), B. C., Mexico and
at Observatorio Astronomico Guillermo Haro, in Cananea, Sonora (OAGH),
Mexico. It is supplemented with spectroscopic data found in the
archives of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the Hubble Space
Telescope (HST), in the AGN sample of Marziani et al.
(2003ApJS..145..199M 2003ApJS..145..199M, Cat. J/ApJS/145/199), and in Lawrence et al.
1996ApJS..107..541L 1996ApJS..107..541L.
We present the continuum emission and/or line parameters for 41
sources in the Hβ region, 78 in the MgII region, and 35 in the
CIV region. Also, there are 14 sources with information available for
both Hβ and MgII regions, 12 with MgII and CIV, and 5 with
Hβ, MgII and CIV. The spectroscopic information information for
the statistically complete sample MOJAVE-1 (Lister & Homan,
2005AJ....130.1389L 2005AJ....130.1389L, Cat. J/AJ/130/1389) included in the Atlas is as
follows: 28 sources in the Hβ region, 46 in the MgII region, and
23 in the CIV region. All the emission lines parameters are for the
broad component of the line, except for [OIII] 5007.
