Burbidge & Burbidge (1959), Hodge & Merchant (1966), and Bertola & Capaccioli (1977, BC77) provided the first data for NGC 128 and its group. The galaxies of this group are late Ellipticals and early Spirals, and the recession velocities are in the range 4200–4600 km s−1. NGC 128 is connected by a bridge to NGC 127, and according to BC77 a set of filaments protrudes southwards to NGC 126. The galaxy NGC 125 is surrounded by a large ring (BC77 estimated a diameter of ∼ 70 kpc) which is asymmetrically placed with respect to the center of the galaxy. NGC 128 is classified as BS-I in the list of de Souza & dos Anjos (1987). The peculiar peanut shape of the bulge is clearly visible even in the innermost isophotes: the bulge appears squared by four symmetric bumps, forming an X-structure with arms at ∼ 45◦ from the major axis of the galaxy and extended, in projection, for ∼ 20′′ (5.4 kpc)1. The peculiar morphology is not due to extinction effects (see next sections). As suggested by Pfenniger & Friedli (1991) the X-structure is likely an optical illusion. We clearly see this effect in the Fig. 1.

    Torques and Angular Momentum: Counter-Rotation in Galaxies and Ring Galaxies

    MNRAS 000, 000{000 (2016) Preprint 9 July 2018 Compiled using MNRAS LATEX style file v3.0 Torques and angular momentum: Counter-rotation in galaxies and ring galaxies N. G. Kantharia1? 1 National Centre for Radio Astrophysics, TIFR, Post Bag 3, Ganeshkhind, Pune-411007, India Last updated; in original form ABSTRACT We present an alternate origin scenario to explain the observed phenomena of (1) counter-rotation between different galaxy components and (2) the formation of ring galaxies. We suggest that these are direct consequences of the galaxy being acted upon by a torque which causes a change in its primordial spin angular momentum first observed as changes in the gas kinematics or distribution. We suggest that this torque is exerted by the gravitational force between nearby galaxies. This origin requires the presence of at least one companion galaxy in the vicinity - we find a companion galaxy within 750 kpc for 51/57 counter-rotating galaxies and literature indicates that all ring galaxies have a companion galaxy thus giving observable credence to this origin. Moreover in these 51 galaxies, we find a kinematic offset between stellar and gas heliocentric velocities > 50 kms−1 for several galaxies if the separation between the galaxies < 100 kpc. This, we suggest, indicates a change in the orbital angular momentum of the torqued galaxies. A major difference between the torque origin suggested here and the existing model of gas accretion/galaxy collision, generally used to explain the above two phenomena, is that the torque acts on the matter of the same galaxy whereas in the latter case gas, with different properties, is brought in from outside.

Received 2005 October 29; in original form 2005 July 26 ABSTRACT We have identified two new galaxies with gas counter-rotation (NGC 1596 and 3203) and have confirmed similar behaviour in another one (NGC 128), this using results from separate studies of the ionized-gas and stellar kinematics of a well-defined sample of 30 edge-on disc galaxies. Gas counter-rotators thus represent 10 ± 5 per cent of our sample, but the fraction climbs to 21 ± 11 per cent when only lenticular (S0) galaxies are considered and to 27 ± 13 per cent for S0 galaxies with detected ionized gas only. Those fractions are consistent with but slightly higher than previous studies. A compilation from well-defined studies of S0 galaxies in the literature yields fractions of 15 ± 4 and 23 ± 5 per cent, respectively. Although mainly based on circumstantial evidence, we argue that the counter-rotating gas originates primarily from minor mergers and tidally induced transfer of material from nearby objects. Assuming isotropic accretion, twice those fractions of objects must have undergone similar processes, underlining the importance of (minor) accretion for galaxy evolution. Applications of gas counter-rotators to barred galaxy dynamics are also discussed.
  • Making a Sky Atlas

    Making a Sky Atlas

    Appendix A Making a Sky Atlas Although a number of very advanced sky atlases are now available in print, none is likely to be ideal for any given task. Published atlases will probably have too few or too many guide stars, too few or too many deep-sky objects plotted in them, wrong- size charts, etc. I found that with MegaStar I could design and make, specifically for my survey, a “just right” personalized atlas. My atlas consists of 108 charts, each about twenty square degrees in size, with guide stars down to magnitude 8.9. I used only the northernmost 78 charts, since I observed the sky only down to –35°. On the charts I plotted only the objects I wanted to observe. In addition I made enlargements of small, overcrowded areas (“quad charts”) as well as separate large-scale charts for the Virgo Galaxy Cluster, the latter with guide stars down to magnitude 11.4. I put the charts in plastic sheet protectors in a three-ring binder, taking them out and plac- ing them on my telescope mount’s clipboard as needed. To find an object I would use the 35 mm finder (except in the Virgo Cluster, where I used the 60 mm as the finder) to point the ensemble of telescopes at the indicated spot among the guide stars. If the object was not seen in the 35 mm, as it usually was not, I would then look in the larger telescopes. If the object was not immediately visible even in the primary telescope – a not uncommon occur- rence due to inexact initial pointing – I would then scan around for it.

    2019 Gone Fishin’ – Observing List Notes

    The Eldorado Star Party 2019 Telescope Observing Club by Bill Flanagan Houston Astronomical Society Purpose and Rules Welcome to the Annual ESP Telescope Club! The main purpose of this club is to give you an opportunity to observe some of the showpiece objects of the fall season under the pristine skies of Southwest Texas. We have also included a few items on the observing lists that may challenge you to observe some fainter and more obscure objects that present themselves at their very best under the dark skies of the Eldorado Star Party. The rules are simple; just observe the required number of objects listed while you are at the Eldorado Star Party to receive a club badge. Gone Fishin’ West Texas may be known for its dry climate and dry river beds, but in the fall after the sun goes down, the night skies over X-Bar Ranch provide an excellent opportunity to go fishing. Pisces (the Fish) and Pisces Austrinus (the Southern Fish) can be reeled in during most of the night. Delphinus (the Dolphin) is high in the sky just after sunset. The constellation Eridanus (the River) winds its way through the southern portion of the sky, and Cetus (the Sea Monster) can be seen dipping his front flippers into this magnificent winding river. So given this great fall opportunity, the Telescope Observing Club program for the 2019 Eldorado Star Party is “Gone Fishin’.” The program is a list of 27 objects located in the five above mentioned constellations. You only have to reel in 22 of the 27 objects on the list with a telescope to qualify for the Telescope Observing Club badge.

We also owe special thanks to Basil Katem for his large effort in de- termining revised coordinates by measurement of National Geo- graphic-Palomar Sky Survey prints and Uppsala Schmidt plates for most of the listed galaxies, and to John Bedke for his skill in reproducing the photographs. We are especially grateful to R. J. Brucato for his important help in obtaining the most recent plates at Las Campanas.

We detect CO emission in 8 12 of the galaxies at >4σ significance, with molecular gas masses in the range ∼0.01-6×10 M , as well as CO in absorption in the non-dominant group member galaxy NGC 5354. In total 21 of the 53 CLoGS dominant galaxies are detected in CO and we confirm −1 our previous findings that they have low star formation rates (0.01-1M yr ) but short depletion times (<1 Gyr) implying rapid replenishment of their gas reservoirs.
