Molecular Gas in Elliptical Galaxies
The distribution and kinematics of the molecular gas in elliptical galaxies give information on the origin and history of the gas and the rate of star formation activity in ellipticals. I describe some preliminary results of a survey which will more than double the number of elliptical galaxies with resolved molecular distributions.
متن کاملDecoupled hot gas flows in elliptical galaxies
We present the results of a new set of hydrodynamical simulations of hot gas flows in model elliptical galaxies with the following characteristics: the spatial luminosity distribution approaches a power law form at small radii, in accordance with the results of recent ground based observations, and with the Hubble Space Telescope; the dark matter has a peaked profile too, as indicated by high r...
متن کاملSimulating the Hot X-ray Emitting Gas in Elliptical Galaxies
We study the chemo-dynamical evolution of elliptical galaxies and their hot X-ray emitting gas using high-resolution cosmological simulations. Our Tree N-body/SPH code includes a self-consistent treatment of radiative cooling, star formation, supernovae feedback, and chemical enrichment. We present a series of ΛCDM cosmological simulations which trace the spatial and temporal evolution of heavy...
متن کاملCold Gas and Star Formation in Elliptical Galaxies
Elliptical galaxies outside dense clusters are observed to contain small amounts (relative to spiral galaxies) of cold interstellar gas. This review discusses the atomic gas, the molecular gas, and the dust in elliptical galaxies. Field elliptical galaxies contain about 0.01 to 0.1 of the cold interstellar matter content of spiral galaxies of similar luminosity, and support a low level of star ...
متن کاملMolecular Gas in Elliptical Galaxies: Distribution and Kinematics
I present interferometric images (∼7 resolution) of CO emission in five elliptical galaxies and nondetections in two others. These data double the number of elliptical galaxies whose CO emission has been fully mapped. The sample galaxies have 10 to 5×10 M⊙ of molecular gas distributed in mostly symmetric rotating disks with diameters of 2 to 12 kpc. Four out of the five molecular disks show rem...
