X - ray emission from the Sculptor galaxy NGC 300
We report here the results of a full analysis of all the ROSAT PSPC spectral imaging observations and all the ROSAT HRI high resolution imaging observations of the very nearby (D = 2.1 Mpc) Sculptor galaxy, NGC 300. Many point sources are detected within the field, several of them showing evidence for variability, and we present full source lists detailing their X-ray properties, and attempt to...
متن کاملMapping the Dark Side with Deimos: Globular Clusters, X-ray Gas, and Dark Matter in the Ngc 1407 Group
NGC 1407 is the central elliptical in a nearby evolved group of galaxies apparently destined to become a galaxy cluster core. We use the kinematics of globular clusters (GCs) to probe the dynamics and mass profile of the group’s center, out to a radius of 60 kpc (∼ 10 galaxy effective radii)—the most extended data set to date around an early-type galaxy. This sample consists of 172 GC lineof-si...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of Globular Cluster Candidates in the Sculptor Group Galaxies NGC 253 and NGC 55
We have obtained spectra for 103 published globular cluster candidates in the Sculptor Group galaxies NGC 253 and NGC 55. On the basis of radial velocities and digitized plate images, 14 globular clusters are identified in NGC 253 and one probable globular cluster is identified in NGC 55. The majority of the objects in the sample appear to be background galaxies. We have obtained and analysed C...
متن کاملQuantitative Spectral Analysis of Early B-type Supergiants in the Sculptor Galaxy Ngc 300
The spectra of two early B-type supergiant stars in the Sculptor spiral galaxy NGC 300 are analysed by means of non-LTE line blanketed unified model atmospheres, aimed at determining their chemical composition and the fundamental stellar and wind parameters. For the first time a detailed chemical abundance pattern (He, C, N, O, Mg and Si) is obtained for a B-type supergiant beyond the Local Gro...
متن کاملProject . An improved distance to the Sculptor spiral galaxy NGC 300 from its Cepheid variables
In a previous paper, we reported on the discovery of more than a hundred new Cepheid variables in the Sculptor Group spiral NGC 300 from wide-field images taken in the B and V photometric bands at ESO/La Silla. In this paper, we present additional VI data, derive improved periods and mean magnitudes for the variables, and construct period-luminosity relations in the V, I and the reddening-indep...
