Is NGC 3108 transforming itself from an early to late type galaxy – an astronomical hermaphrodite?
A common feature of hierarchical galaxy formation models is the process of “inverse” morphological transformation: a bulge dominated galaxy accretes a gas disk, dramatically reducing the system’s bulge-to-disk mass ratio. During their formation, presentday galaxies may execute many such cycles across the Hubble diagram. A good candidate for such a “hermaphrodite” galaxy is NGC 3108: a dust-lane...
متن کاملFaint Early - Type Galaxy Ngc 4697
We analyze archival ROSAT HRI, ROSAT PSPC, and ASCA data of the X-ray faint early-type galaxy NGC 4697. The joint ROSAT PSPC + ASCA spectrum is fit by a two-component thermal model, a MEKAL model with kTMEKAL = 0.26 +0.04 −0.03 keV with low metallicity and a bremsstrahlung model with kTBREM = 5.2 +3.0 −1.6 keV. A similar model was found to fit the spectra of another faint early-type galaxy (NGC...
متن کاملFormation of an Early-type Galaxy from Cosmological Initial Conditions?
We describe a high resolution Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation of a spheroidal galaxy starting from ΛCDM initial conditions which is intentionally simple, and includes photoionization and cooling of the intergalactic medium but not feedback from AGN or supernovae. The galaxy undergoes an initial burst of star formation at z ≈ 5, accompanied by the formation of a bubble of heated...

متن کاملEvidence for an outflow from the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4051
New observations using narrow band imaging, long-slit spectroscopy and MERLIN observations of the nuclear region of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4051 have been made. An edge brightened, triangular region of ionized gas extending 420 pc from the centre of the galaxy has been detected. Long-slit spectra of this ionised gas, taken at 1.5 from the core, show the [O iii] 5007-Å emission line to consist of...
