Dynamics of the Boxy Elliptical Galaxy NGC 1600
We use three–integral models to infer the distribution function (df) of the boxy E3-E4 galaxy NGC 1600 from surface brightness and line profile data on the minor and major axes. We assume axisymmetry and that the mass-to-light ratio is constant in the central ∼ 1Re. Stars in the resulting gravitational potential move mainly on regular orbits. We use an approximate third integral K from perturba...
متن کاملSCUBA Observations of the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 4374
We present SCUBA imaging and photometry of the elliptical galaxy NGC 4374. The imaging observations are used to examine the spatial distribution of thermal emission from dust and the radio to infrared continuum spectrum. In the SCUBA 850μm image, the galaxy is found to be a point source, constraining the emission to less than 15 (1.5 kpc for a distance of 20.74 Mpc). The simplest interpretation...
متن کاملEvolutionary History of the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 1052
We have obtained Keck spectra for 16 globular clusters (GCs) associated with the merger remnant elliptical NGC 1052, as well as a long-slit spectrum of the galaxy. We derive ages, metallicities and abundance ratios from simple stellar population models using the methods of Proctor & Sansom (2002), applied to extragalactic GCs for the first time. A number of GCs indicate the presence of strong b...
متن کاملChandra Observations of Ngc 4636 - an Elliptical Galaxy in Turmoil
Chandra images show symmetric, 8 kpc long, arm-like features in the X-ray halo surrounding NGC 4636. The leading edges of these features are sharp and are accompanied by temperature increases of ∼ 30%. These properties, along with their scale and symmetry, suggest that the arm-like structures are produced by nuclear outburst driven shocks. We interpret these observations as part of a cycle in w...
متن کاملThe Nuclear Disk in the Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy Ngc 4486a1
Many ellipticals contain nuclear disks of dust and gas. Some ellipticals contain nuclear disks of stars that are distinct from the rest of the galaxy. We show that the dwarf E2 galaxy NGC 4486A contains both – it is a “Rosetta stone" object that tells us how nuclear disks evolve. Its properties suggest that, as accreted gas dissipates and settles toward the center, it forms stars and builds a s...
