CLASSY. II. A Technical Overview of the COS Legacy Archive Spectroscopic Survey*

Abstract: The COS Legacy Archive Spectroscopic SurveY (CLASSY) is designed to provide the community with a spectral atlas of 45 nearby star-forming galaxies that were chosen to cover similar properties to those seen at high z (z > 6). The prime high-level science product of CLASSY is accurately coadded UV spectra, ranging from ∼1000 to 2000 Å, derived from a combination of archival and new data obtained with HST’s Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS). This paper details the multistage technical processes of creating thi… Show more

“…In this work we investigated UV and optical diagnostics of the ISM properties by exploiting the CLASSY survey presented by Berg et al (2022) and James et al (2022), which represents the first high-quality, high-resolution, and broad-wavelength-range (∼ 1200-2000 Å) FUV spectral database of 45 nearby (0.002 < z < 0.182) star-forming galaxies. Specifically we focused on the main UV emission lines visible in the COS spectra apart from Lyα (i.e., N IV] λλ 1483,87, C IV λλ1548,51, He II λ1640, O III]λλ 1661,6, Si III] λλ1883,92, C III] λλ1907,9), and combine them with emission lines comprised between [O II] λλ 3727,9 and [S III]λ9069 from optical spectroscopy of the same pointing.…”

“…A growing database of such spectra now exist especially from recent programs leveraging the sensitivity of HST/COS, targeting galaxies approaching the metallicities and stellar population ages likely to be encountered at high redshifts (see e.g. the COS Legacy Archive Spectroscopic Survey, or CLASSY; Berg et al 2022;James et al 2022).…”

“…All data were reduced locally using the COS data-reduction package CalCOS v.3.3.10,11 including spectra extraction and wavelength calibration. We refer readers to Berg et al (2022) and James et al (2022) for more details about these data reductions and spectral coaddition procedures. We also apply the same reductions to the LBA galaxies from Heckman et al (2015).…”

“…In this paper, we aim to shed light on a method to measure n e , the radius at which these densities apply (r n ), M cl , and R cl from outflow absorption lines. We focus on 22 local starforming galaxies selected from the COS Legacy Archive Spectroscopy SurveY (CLASSY) atlas (Berg et al 2022;James et al 2022) and Heckman et al (2015). These galaxies have high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) spectra that cover their rest-frame UV bands.…”
