A counterrotating central component in the barred galaxy NGC 5728
We present a detailed study of the stellar kinematics in the barred galaxy NGC 5728 based on I-band photometry and long-slit spectroscopic observations in the region of the near-IR Ca II triplet. The analysis of the stellar line-of-sight velocity distribution (LOSVD) has revealed, in the central regions of the bar, the presence of a cold (v/σ ∼2.5) prograde S-shaped velocity component that coex...
متن کاملStellar Encounters: A Stimulus for Disc Fragmentation?
An interaction between a star-disc system and another star will perturb the disc, possibly resulting in a significant modification of the disc structure and its properties. It is still unclear if such an encounter can trigger fragmentation of the disc to form brown dwarfs or gas giant planets. This paper details high resolution Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations investigating the...
متن کاملThe red stellar population in NGC 1569
Agency ABSTRACT We present HST NICMOS photometry of the resolved stellar population in the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 1569. The color-magnitude diagram (CMD) in the F110W and F160W photometric bands contains ∼2400 stars with a formal photometric error ∼ < 0.1 mag down to m F110W ≈ 23.5 and m F160W ≈ 22.5. The fiducial photometry has a completeness factor higher than 50% down to m F110W ≈ 21.5 a...
متن کاملThe molecular polar disc in NGC 2768 ⋆
We present CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) maps of the molecular polar disc in the elliptical galaxy NGC 2768 obtained at the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer. The maps have a resolution of 2. 6 × 2. 3 and 1. 2 × 1. 2 for the CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) lines, respectively. The CO maps complete the unique picture of the interstellar medium (ISM) of NGC 2768; the dust, molecular gas, ionised gas and neutral hydr...
متن کاملThe Warped Disc of NGC 4258
We consider the properties of the warped accretion disc in NGC 4258 which is delineated by maser emission. We use our analytical models to consider whether the disc could be warped by Lense-Thirring precession. We show that such models fit the shape of the disc well and we determine the goodness of fit for various combinations of the warp radius and the disc and black hole configurations. Thoug...
