Chandra X - ray Observations of NGC 1316 ( Fornax A )
2 Abstract We report the results of the Chandra ACIS sub-arcsecond resolution X-ray observation of the archetypal merger radio galaxy NGC 1316 (Fornax A). We confirm the presence of fine sub-structures in the hot Interstellar Medium (ISM). Some of these are likely to result from interaction with the radio jets, while others may be related to a complex intermingling of different phases of the IS...
متن کاملA Search for the Progenitors of Two Type - Ia Supernovae in NGC 1316
Recent evidence of a young progenitor population for many Type-Ia SNe (SNe-Ia) raises the possibility that evolved intermediate-mass progenitor stars may be detected in pre-explosion images. NGC 1316, a radio galaxy in the Fornax cluster, is a prolific producer of SNe-Ia, with four detected since 1980. We analyze Hubble Space Telescope (HST) pre-explosion images of the sites of two of the SNe-I...

We present HST Planetary Camera V and I band images of the central region of the peculiar giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316. These high resolution Based on observations with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, obtained at the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by AURA, Inc., under NASA Contract No. NAS 5-26555. The National Optical Astronomy Observatories are operated by the A...
متن کاملThe Observations of Type Ia Supernovae
The past ten years have seen a tremendous increase in the number of Type Ia supernovae discovered and in the quality of the basic data presented. The cosmological results based on distances to Type Ia events have been spectacular, leading to statistically accurate values of the Hubble constant and ΩM and ΩΛ. However, in spite of the recent advances, a number of mysteries continue to remain in o...
متن کاملType Ia Supernovae as Extragalactic Distance Indicators
Because Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are not perfect standard candles, it is important to be able to use distance–independent observables (DIOs) to define subsets of SNe Ia that are " nearly standard candles " or to correct SN Ia absolute magnitudes to make them nearly homogeneous (" standardized candles "). This is not crucial for the measurement of H 0 , but it is for the measurement of q 0 an...
