The complete submillimetre spectrum of NGC 891
Submillimetre maps of NGC 891 have been obtained with the PRONAOS balloonborne telescope and with the ISOPHOT instrument on board the ISO satellite. In this article, we also gather data from IRAS and SCUBA to present the complete submillimetre spectrum of this nearby edge-on spiral galaxy. We derive submillimetre emission profiles along the major axis. The modified blackbody fits, assuming a si...
متن کاملThe Future of Millimetre and Submillimetre Cosmology
Using the submm array camera SCUBA on the 15-m JCMT it is now possible to conduct unbiased submm surveys and quantify the level of star-formation activity in the young Universe by observing the rest-frame FIR thermal emission from dust in highredshift galaxies. However an accurate interpretation of these existing submm cosmological surveys is prevented by uncertainties in the redshifts of the s...
متن کاملCentaurus A – NGC 5128
The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review Manuscript-Nr. Summary. At a distance of 3.4 Mpc, NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) is by far the nearest active radio galaxy. It is often considered to be the prototype Fanaroff-Riley Class I 'low-luminosity' radio galaxy, and as such it plays an important role in our understanding of a major class of active galaxies. Its proximity has spawned numerous detailed inves...
متن کاملGlobular clusters in NGC 5128 ?
We used the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 aboard the Hubble Space Telescope to search for globular clusters in the inner regions of the nearby giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5128. This galaxy is believed to be the product of a merger between a large elliptical galaxy and a small late-type spiral between 160 and 500 Myr ago. We identified 21 globular cluster candidates and measured their core radii...
متن کاملThe Distance to NGC 5128 (Centaurus A)
In this paper we review the various high precision methods that are now available to determine the distance to NGC 5128. These methods include: Cepheids, TRGB (tip of the red giant branch), PNLF (planetary nebula luminosity function), SBF (surface brightness fluctuations), and Long Period Variable (LPV) Mira stars. From an evaluation of these methods and their uncertainties, we derive a best-es...
