Dwarf elliptical galaxies in Centaurus A group : stellar populations in AM 1339 - 445 and AM 1343 - 452 ⋆ ⋆ ⋆
We study the red giant populations of two dE galaxies, AM 1339-445 and AM 1343-452, with the aim of investigating the number and luminosity of any upper asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars present. The galaxies are members of the Centaurus A group (D ≈ 3.8 Mpc) and are classified as outlying (R ≈ 350 kpc) satellites of Cen A. The analysis is based on near-IR photometry for individual red giant ...
متن کاملStellar Populations of Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies: Ubvri Photometry of Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
We present UBVRI surface photometry for 16 dwarf elliptical galaxies in the Virgo Cluster with previously measured kinematic properties. The global optical colors are red, with median values for the sample of 0.24 ± 0.03 in (U–B), 0.77 ± 0.02 in (B– V), and 1.02 ± 0.03 in (V–I). We recover the well known color-magnitude relation for cluster galaxies, but find no significant difference in domina...
متن کاملDwarf Elliptical Galaxies in the M81 Group: the Structure and Stellar Populations of Bk5n and F8d1
The M81 group is one of the nearest groups of galaxies, but its properties are quite different from those of the Local Group. It has therefore provided a different environment for the evolution of its member galaxies. We have carried out a CCD survey of the M81 group to search for analogs to Local Group dwarf elliptical (dE) galaxies. All the M81 dwarfs previously identified in photographic sur...
متن کاملTesting the Surface Brightness Fluctuations Method for Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies in the Centaurus A Group
We have obtained deep B and R-band CCD photometry for five dwarf elliptical galaxies that were previously identified on Schmidt films covering the region of the Centaurus A (Cen A) group. From a Fourier analysis of the R-band CCD images we determined the surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) magnitude m̄R for each stellar system. All magnitudes are similar and, given the small colour spread, sugg...
متن کاملOld Stellar Populations in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies
What can we learn from the somewhat arduous study of old stellar populations in nearby galaxies? Unless the nearby universe is subtly anomalous, it should contain a relatively normal selection of galaxies whose histories are representative of field galaxies in general throughout the Universe. We can therefore take advantage of our ability to resolve local galaxies into individual stars to direc...
