The distance to the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 ⋆
The distance to NGC 5128, the central galaxy of the Centaurus group and the nearest giant elliptical to us, has been determined using two independent distance indicators: the Mira period-luminosity (PL) relation and the luminosity of the tip of the red giant branch (RGB). The data were taken at two different locations in the halo of NGC 5128 with the ISAAC near-IR array on ESO VLT. From more th...
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...
متن کاملVery cold dust in the peculiar dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 205 ?
ISO observations of NGC 205 between 120 and 200 μm resolve the emission from 20–24 K cold dust. It is extended to about 7.′5×7.′5 with bright concentrations in a 1.′5 north-south elongated area, similar to the that seen in HI. Supplemented by IRAS and mm literature data, the photometry of the total galaxy and the central region is disentangled. It indicates the presence of very cold dust below ...
متن کاملAtomic and Molecular Gas near NGC 3077 : The Making of a New Dwarf Galaxy ? Fabian
Using the IRAM 30m radio telescope we have mapped the tidal arm feature south–east of NGC3077 where we recently detected molecular gas in the CO (J=1→0) and (2→1) transitions. We find that the molecular gas is much more extended than previously thought (several kpc). The CO emission can be separated into at least 3 distinct complexes with equivalent radii between 250 pc and 700 pc – the newly d...
متن کاملDynamics 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...
