Surface Brightness Fluctuations as Stellar Population Indicators
Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) can provide useful information about the unresolved stellar content of early-type galaxies and spiral bulges. The absolute SBF magnitude M in a given passband depends on the properties of the stellar population and can be predicted by population synthesis models. SBF measurements in different bandpasses are sensitive to different evolutionary stages within ...
متن کاملThe Infrared Surface Brightness Fluctuation Hubble Constant
We measured infrared surface brightness uctuation (SBF) distances to an isotropically-distributed sample of 16 distant galaxies with redshifts reaching 10,000 km s 1 using the near-IR camera and multi-object spectrometer (NICMOS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The excellent spatial resolution, very low background, and brightness of the IR uctuations yielded the most distant SBF measuremen...
متن کاملThe Massive Stellar Population in a Nearby Massive Low Surface Brightness Galaxy
We have observed the closest known large, low surface brightness (LSB) galaxy, UGC 2302, with HST using WFPC2 and the F555W and F814W filters. UGC 2302 is a typical large LSB galaxy, and thus represents a good choice for detailed stellar population studies. Large LSBs represent an extreme star formation environment, both locally within their disks, and on a larger scale, often residing in under...
متن کاملThe stellar populations of the bluest low surface brightness galaxies ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆
Using optical/near-IR broadband photometry together with Hα emission line data, we attempt to constrain the star formation histories, ages, total stellar masses and stellar mass-to-light ratios for a sample of extremely blue low surface brightness galaxies. We find that, under standard assumptions about the stellar initial mass function, the Hα equivalent widths of these objects appear inconsis...
متن کاملStellar Populations of Elliptical Galaxies from Surface Brightness Fluctuations
We are using optical/IR surface brightness fluctuations (SBFs) to validate the latest stellar population synthesis models and to understand the stellar populations of ellipticals. Integrated light and spectra measure only the first moment of the stellar luminosity function (ΣniLi). Since SBFs also depend on the second moment (ΣniL 2 i ), they provide novel information, in particular about the r...
