The Elliptical–Spheroidal and Elliptical–Elliptical Galaxy Dichotomies
This paper summarizes Kormendy et al. (2009, ApJS, in press, arXiv:0810.1681). We confirm that spheroidal galaxies have fundamental plane correlations that are almost perpendicular to those for bulges and ellipticals. Spheroidals are not dwarf ellipticals. They are structurally similar to late-type galaxies. We suggest that they are defunct (“red and dead”) late-type galaxies transformed by a v...
متن کاملKinematics and stellar populations of the dwarf elliptical galaxy IC 3653
We present the first 3D observations of a diffuse elliptical galaxy (dE). The good quality data (S/N up to 40) reveal the kinematical signature of an embedded stellar disc, reminiscent of what is commonly observed in elliptical galaxies, though similarity of their origins is questionable. Colour map built from HST ACS images confirms the presence of this disc. Its characteristic scale (about 3 ...
متن کاملThe Stellar Population and Star Clusters in the Unusual Local Group Galaxy Ic 10
We present analysis of Hubble Space Telescope U, V, I, and Hα images of the peculiar Local Group irregular galaxy IC 10. The images are used to determine the nature of the stellar products in a portion of the recent starburst in this galaxy. We identified 13 stellar associations and clusters, two of which are probably old (≥350 Myr) and the rest of which are young (4–30 Myr) and presumably form...
متن کاملElliptical Galaxy Dynamics: the Issues Pertaining to Galaxy Formation
How elliptical galaxy dynamics relate to galaxy structure, stellar populations, spiral galaxies and environment are reviewed. The evidence assembled shows that most, if not all, galaxies originally classified as gE contain disks within them. Taken together, the existing evidence are most consistent with the gravitational, hierarchical, clustering, merging (HCM) concept that all galaxies, includ...
متن کاملDark matter in early – type galaxies : dynamical modelling of IC 1459 , IC 3370 , NGC 3379 and NGC 4105
We analyse long–slit spectra of four early–type galaxies which extend from ∼ 1 to ∼ 3 effective radii: IC 1459, IC 3370, NGC 3379 and NGC 4105. We have extracted the full line–of–sight velocity distribution (in the case of NGC 3379 we also used data from the literature) which we model using the two–integral approach. Using two–integral modelling we find no strong evidence for dark haloes, but t...
