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 کاملTelescope Planetary Camera Images of NGC 1316 ( Fornax A ) 1
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 کاملDynamical evolution of globular cluster systems in clusters of galaxies : I . The case of NGC 1404 in the Fornax cluster
We investigate, via numerical simulations, the tidal stripping and accretion of globular clusters (GCs). In particular, we focus on creating models that simulate the situation for the GC systems of NGC 1404 and NGC 1399 in the Fornax cluster, which have poor (specific frequency SN ∼ 2) and rich (SN ∼ 10) GC systems respectively. We initially assign NGC 1404 in our simulation a typical SN (∼ 5) ...
متن کاملAtomic and molecular gas in the merger galaxy NGC 1316 ( Fornax A ) and its environment
We present and interpret observations of atomic and molecular gas toward the southern elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 (Fornax A), a strong double-lobe radio source with a disturbed optical morphology that includes numerous shells and loops. The CO(1–0), CO(2–1), and Hi observations were made with SEST and the VLA. CO emission corresponding to a total molecular hydrogen mass of ∼5×10 M⊙ was detected ...
متن کاملThe globular cluster system of an “ old ” merger : NGC 5018 ⋆
We study the properties of the globular cluster system of the “old” merger NGC 5018. We detect a relatively poor globular cluster system, that can be divided into at least two populations based on colors: a small population of blue clusters, aged between several hundred Myr to 6 Gyr, the formation of which was probably induced by the last interaction in the galaxy group; and one (possibly two) ...
