The MOND Fundamental Plane
Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) has been shown to be able to fit spiral galaxy rotation curves as well as giving a theoretical foundation for empirically determined scaling relations, such as the Tully-Fisher law, without the need for a dark matter halo. As a complementary analysis, one should investigate whether MOND can also reproduce the dynamics of early-type galaxies (ETGs) without dark...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Plane of Quasars
We present results from an archival study of 70 medium-redshift QSOs observed with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope. The QSOs have magnitudes MV ≤ −23 (total nuclear plus host light) and redshifts 0.06 ≤ z ≤ 0.46. A close relationship between QSO host and nucleus is found by examining multiple parameters at once. A principal components analysis shows that 3 ...
متن کاملWet disc contraction to galactic blue nuggets and quenching to red nuggets
We study the origin of high-redshift, compact, quenched spheroids (red nuggets) through the dissipative shrinkage of gaseous discs into compact star-forming systems (blue nuggets). The discs, fed by cold streams, undergo violent disc instability that drives gas into the centre (along with mergers). The inflow is dissipative when its time-scale is shorter than the star formation time-scale. This...
متن کاملRed Mergers and the Assembly of Massive Elliptical Galaxies: the Fundamental Plane and Its Projections
Several recent observations suggest that gas-poor (dissipationless) mergers of elliptical galaxies build up the massive end of the red sequence. We perform a series of major merger simulations to investigate the spatial and velocity structure of the remnants of such mergers. Regardless of orbital energy or angular momentum, we find that the stellar remnants lie on the fundamental plane defined ...
متن کاملThe Near { Infrared Fundamental Plane
We present the rst Fundamental Plane (FP) that has been constructed in the K{band using near{infrared imaging source data. The slope of this IR FP diiers systematically both from the optical relation and the virial expectation (assuming homology and constant M=L) in a way that cannot be explained by stellar populations eeects alone. We also show observations of the optical and IR FP at higher r...
