Planetary nebulae as mass tracers in galaxies
Planetary nebula are useful kinematic tracers of the stars in all galaxy types. I review recent observationally-driven developments in the study of galaxy mass profiles. These have yielded surprising results on spiral galaxy disk masses and elliptical galaxy halo masses. A key remaining question is the coupling between PNe and the underlying stellar populations.
متن کاملMid-IR Observation of Mass Loss in Elliptical Galaxies
– 2 – Early-type galaxies exhibit thermal and molecular resonance emission from dust that is shed and heated through stellar mass loss as a subset of the population moves through the AGB phase of evolution. Because this emission can give direct insight into stellar evolution in addition to galactic stellar mass loss and ISM injection rates, we conducted a program to search for this signature em...
متن کاملStellar Mass Loss-driven Wind Models of Elliptical Galaxies?
Recent claims in the literature (Bressan, Chiosi & Fagotto 1994) that the epoch describing the onset of galactic winds in spheroidal star systems has been severely overestimated in the past, due to the neglect of energy deposited in the interstellar medium from stellar winds, is evaluated in the light of a more conservative approach to mod-eling the input of thermal energy to the system from ma...
متن کاملThe intrinsic structures of circular and elliptical planetary nebulae
Planetary nebula axial ratios have been used to investigate the intrinsic structures of sources having elliptical or circular morphologies, using methods previously applied to elliptical galaxies. The results appear to indicate that most such nebulae have intrinsic axial ratios β in the range 0.92→0.75, and that gradients of surface brightness with axial ratio are most consistent with oblate sh...
متن کاملMass-loss and multicomponent flow from central stars of planetary nebulae
Since the acceleration of different wind species may be different, their wind velocities may differ and so hot star winds have a multicomponent nature. For high density winds (e.g. of galactic O stars) this multicomponent nature does not influence the wind structure, however for low density winds multicomponent effects occur, for example frictional heating, decoupling of wind components, etc. (...
