Stellar dynamics observations of a double nucleus in M 83
We report on the discovery of a double nucleus in M 83, based on measurements of the line of sight velocity distribution of stars observed at near infrared wavelengths with the VLT ISAAC spectrograph. We observe two peaks separated by 2. 7 in the velocity dispersion profile of light from late-type stars measured along a slit 0. 6 wide, centered on the peak of K band emission and with P.A. 51.7 ...
متن کاملMolecular Gas around the Double Nucleus in M 83
The center of M83, a barred starburst galaxy with a double nucleus, has been observed in the CO(J=2–1) and CO(J=3–2) lines with the Submillimeter Array. The molecular gas shows a distribution and kinematics typical for barred galaxies at ∼kpc radii, but reveals unusual kinematics around the double nucleus in the central ∼300 pc. Our CO velocity data show that the visible nucleus in M83 is at le...
متن کاملField Spectroscopy with the Gemini 8 - m Telescopes
We give an overview of the current and future IFU capabilities on the Gemini 8-m telescopes. The telescopes are well-suited to integral field spectroscopy and both telescopes will have optical and nearinfrared IFUs within the next few years. Commissioning for the GMOS IFU on Gemini North has begun recently and it is now available to the community. Future integral field instruments will take adv...
متن کاملAn infrared study of the double nucleus in NGC 3256
We present new resolved near and mid-IR imaging and N-band spectroscopy of the two nuclei in the merger system NGC3256, the most IR luminous galaxy in the nearby universe. The results from the SED fit to the data are consistent with previous estimates of the amount of obscuration towards the nuclei and the nuclear star formation rates. However, we also find substantial differences in the infrar...
متن کاملMolecular Gas Distribution in Double-Nucleus Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies
Millimeter (CO) observations of 5 double-nucleus ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIG) mergers are presented. With nuclear separations of 3 − 5 kpc, these galaxies are in the “intermediate” stages of the merger process. A preliminary comparison of the distribution of molecular gas (the likely fuel source for both starbursts and active galactic nuclei: AGN) shows a tendency for molecular gas to b...
