The 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 کاملThe Stellar Populations of NGC 3109: Another Dwarf Irregular Galaxy with a Population II Stellar Halo
We have obtained V and I-band photometry for about 17500 stars in the field of the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 3109, located in the outskirts of the Local Group. The photometry allows us to study the stellar populations present inside and outside the disk of this galaxy. From the VI color-magnitude diagram we infer metallicities and ages for the stellar populations in the main body and in the ha...
متن کاملStellar Populations of Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies: Ubvri Photometry of Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
We present UBVRI surface photometry for 16 dwarf elliptical galaxies in the Virgo Cluster with previously measured kinematic properties. The global optical colors are red, with median values for the sample of 0.24 ± 0.03 in (U–B), 0.77 ± 0.02 in (B– V), and 1.02 ± 0.03 in (V–I). We recover the well known color-magnitude relation for cluster galaxies, but find no significant difference in domina...
متن کاملof the stellar populations in the cometary dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 2366
We present V and I photometry of the resolved stars in the cometary dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 2366, using Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. The resulting color-magnitude diagram reaches down to I ∼ 26.0 mag. It reveals not only a young population of blue main-sequence stars (age . 30 Myr) but also an intermediate-age population of blue and red super...
متن کاملKinematics and stellar populations of the dwarf elliptical galaxy IC 3653
We present the first 3D observations of a diffuse elliptical galaxy (dE). The good quality data (S/N up to 40) reveal the kinematical signature of an embedded stellar disc, reminiscent of what is commonly observed in elliptical galaxies, though similarity of their origins is questionable. Colour map built from HST ACS images confirms the presence of this disc. Its characteristic scale (about 3 ...
