Probing Halos with PNe: Mass and Angular Momentum in Early-Type Galaxies
We present an observational survey program using planetary nebulae, globular clusters, and X-ray emission to probe the halos of early-type galaxies. We review evidence for scanty dark matter halos around ordinary elliptical galaxies, and discuss the possible implications. We also present measurements of rotation in the halos.
متن کاملModelling Kinematics and Dark Matter: The Halos of Elliptical Galaxies⋆
This review is focussed on the outer halos of elliptical galaxies. Its emphasis is on (i) planetary nebulae as test particles to trace the stellar kinematics at large radii, (ii) the observed angular momentum in elliptical galaxy halos and its theoretical relevance, (iii) dynamical modelling of stellar-kinematic data, and (iv) a discussion of the evidence for dark matter halos in ellipticals fr...
متن کاملPlanetary Nebulae in the Virgo cluster
We briefly describe the properties of the confirmed spectro-scopic sample of the intracluster planetary nebulae recently discovered in the Virgo cluster. We find 23 " bonafide " intracluster planetary nebu-lae, and 8 high redshift (z ∼ 3.1) Lyα emitters identified by their broad asymmetric emission line.
متن کاملHalo Kinematics
I summarize recent observations of the kinematics of hot tracers in elliptical galaxy halos (globular clusters, planetary nebulae, and integrated stellar light), and what these tell us about the dynamics, dark matter content, and formation of ellipticals. A generic result is the ubiquity of dark matter halos in ellipticals. Studies of globular clusters and planetary nebulae are now finding oute...
متن کاملStellar halos and elliptical galaxy formation: Origin of dynamical properties of the planetary nebular systems
Recent spectroscopic observations of planetary nebulae (PNe) in several elliptical galaxies have revealed structural and kinematical properties of the outer stellar halo regions. In order to elucidate the origin of the properties of these planetary nebula systems (PNSs), we consider the merger scenario in which an elliptical galaxy is formed by merging of spiral galaxies. Using numerical simula...
