Internal Kinematics and Stellar Populations of Early-type Galaxies in the Fornax Cluster
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a study of the internal kinematics and stellar populations of early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster based on integral-field spectroscopic observations with Gemini South GMOS and VLT-VIMOS. Seven galaxies in a luminosity range of -21.3≤MB≤-17.7 have been observed with these integral field units (IFU). As first results, velocity and line strength maps are presented for NGC1427 and NGC1419.

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 کاملExtended stellar kinematics of elliptical galaxies in the Fornax cluster
We present extended stellar kinematics for a sample of elliptical galaxies in the Fornax cluster. FCC 335) have no previously published kinematical data. Major-axis velocity dispersion profiles (VDPs) and rotation curves (RCs) are given for 12 of the galaxies. A major feature of this data is the spatial extension: for 8 galaxies the data extends beyond 1 R e , and for 5 it extends beyond 2 R e....
متن کاملHubble Space Telescope Survey of the Perseus Cluster: II. Photometric scaling relations in different environments
We investigate the global photometric scaling relations traced by early-type galaxies in different environments, ranging from dwarf spheroidals, over dwarf elliptical galaxies, up to giant ellipticals (−8mag & MV & −24 mag). These results are based in part on our new HST/ACS F555W and F814W imagery of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Perseus Cluster. The full sample, built from our HST images a...
متن کاملSurface Brightness Fluctuations of Fornax Cluster Galaxies: Calibration of Infrared Sbfs and Evidence for Recent Star Formation
We have measured KS-band (2.0–2.3 μm) surface brightness fluctuations (SBFs) of 19 early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster. Fornax is ideally suited both for calibrating SBFs as distance indicators and for using SBFs to probe the unresolved stellar content of early-type galaxies. Combining our results with published data for other nearby clusters, we calibrate KS-band SBFs using HST Cepheid c...
متن کاملThe stellar populations of early - type galaxies in the Fornax cluster
We have measured central line strengths for a magnitude-limited sample of early-type galaxies in the Fornax cluster, comprising 11 elliptical (E) and 11 lenticular (S0) galaxies, more luminous than M B = −17. When compared with single-burst stellar population models we find that the centres of Fornax ellipticals follow a locus of fixed age and have metallicities varying roughly from half solar ...
