Ionized Gas inside the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 1
We have studied the differences between the diffuse ionized gas (DIG) and the H ii regions along a slit position in the local dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. The slit position passes through the two most prominent H ii regions: Hubble V and Hubble X. Important differences have been found in the excitation, ionization, and [N ii]λ6584Å/Hα and [S ii]λ6717Å/Hα line ratios between the DIG and the ...
متن کاملThe Outer Edges of Dwarf Irregular Galaxies : Stars and Gas
The outer edges of dwarf irregular galaxies have been an area of interest for about 40 years. Its origin can be traced back at least to Sandage’s (1962) discussion of the outer parts of IC 1613, which, on Baade’s deep red photographic plates, showed an envelope of faint red stars that extended outwards significantly beyond the main parts of the galaxy. Scattered reports of the properties of oth...
متن کاملStellar and Ionized Gas Kinematics of Peculiar Virgo Cluster Galaxies
We present the results of the stellar and ionized gas kinematics of 13 bright peculiar Virgo cluster galaxies. The stellar velocity field are mostly consistent with a rotation pattern, but some of them shows interesting features such as; Sshaped stellar isovelocity contours in NGC 4064, and signatures of kinematical distinct components in NGC 4429, and NGC 4698. This latter galaxy and NGC 4424 ...
متن کاملDwarf Irregular Galaxies ? Liese
New observations of 16 dwarf elliptical galaxies in the Virgo Cluster indicate that at least seven dEs have significant velocity gradients along their optical major axis, with typical rotation amplitudes of 20-30 km s. Of the remaining nine galaxies in this sample, 6 have velocity gradients less than 20 km skpc while the other 3 observations had too low of a signal–to–noise ratio to determine a...
متن کاملGiant Halos in Dwarf Irregular Galaxies vs. Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies
We present a discovery of a giant stellar halo in NGC 6822, a dwarf irregular galaxy in the Local Group. This halo is mostly made of old red giants, showing striking features: 1) it is several times larger than the main body of the galaxy seen in the optical images, and 2) it is elongated in the direction almost perpendicular to the HI disk of NGC 6822. The structure of this stellar halo looks ...
