Stellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
متن کاملThe Stellar Initial Mass Function in Primordial Galaxies
In the context of star formation through fragmentation of an extremely metal-deficient protogalactic cloud, the gravitational collapse of filamentary gas clouds is explored with one-dimensional numerical hydrodynamics coupled with non-equilibrium chemistry of H2 and HD. It is found that the cloud evolution is governed mainly by the initial central density (nc,0) and H2 abundance (xH2,0). In par...
متن کاملCosmological Implications of a Stellar Initial Mass Function that Varies with the Jeans Mass in Galaxies
Observations of star-forming galaxies at high z have suggested discrepancies in the inferred star formation rates (SFRs) either between data and models or between complementary measures of the SFR. These putative discrepancies could all be alleviated if the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is systematically weighted towards more high-mass star formation in rapidly star-forming galaxies. Here...
متن کاملSpatially resolved spectroscopy of Coma cluster early – type galaxies : III . The stellar population gradients
Based on Paper I of this series (Mehlert et al. 2000), we derive central values and logarithmic gradients for the Hβ, Mg and Fe indices of 35 early-type galaxies in the Coma cluster. We find that pure elliptical galaxies have on average slightly higher velocity dispersions, lower Hβ, and higher metallic line-strengths than galaxies with disks (S0). The latter form two families, one comparable t...
متن کاملUV (2000 Å) luminosity function of Coma cluster galaxies
The UV (2000 Å) luminosity function (hereafter UV LF) of Coma cluster galaxies, based on more than 120 members, is computed as the statistical difference between counts in the Coma direction and in the field. Our UV LF is an up-date of a preliminary constrain on the UV LF previously computed without the essential background counts. The UV LF is well described by a power law with slope α ∼ 0.46,...
