Some 20% of our nuclear spectra have infrared emission lines, mostly Paschen lines, Brackett γ , and [Fe ii]. We consider the influence of radio power and black hole mass in relation to the spectra. Access to the spectra is provided here as a community resource. Key words: galaxies: elliptical and lenticular, cD – galaxies: nuclei – infrared: general – radio continuum: galaxies ∼ 1.

More than half of 7 8 the galaxies (with Bj< \\ mag) are detected at 100 /xm with flux levels indicating, typically, 10 or 10 M0 of cold interstellar matter. The presence of cold gas in ellipticals thus appears to be the rule rather than the exception. Subject headings: galaxies: general — infrared: sources I.

X-ray observations reveal the structure of galactic tails, wakes, and the interface between the galactic gas and the ICM. This fine-structure depends on dynamic conditions (galaxy potential, initial gas contents, orbit in the host cluster), orbital stage (early infall, pre-/post-pericenter passage), as well as on the still ill-constrained ICM plasma properties (thermal conductivity, viscosity, magnetic field structure). Paper I describes flow patterns and stages of inviscid gas stripping. Here we study the effect of a Spitzer-like temperature dependent viscosity corresponding to Reynolds numbers, Re, of 50–5000 with respect to the ICM flow around the remnant atmosphere. Global flow patterns are independent of viscosity in this Reynolds number range. -

Combined with the PHANGS- ALMA, PHANGS-MUSE surveys and other multiwavelength data, the data set will provide an unprecedented look into the connections between young stars, H II regions, and cold molecular gas in these nearby star-forming galaxies. Accurate distances are needed to transform measured observables into physical parameters (e.g. -
Spectroscopy of Extra-Galactic Globular Clusters
Spectroscopy of Extra-galactic Globular Clusters Michael J. Pierce, BSc(Hons) A dissertation presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of ICT Swinburne University of Technology December 2006 Abstract The focus of this thesis is the study of stellar populations of extra-galactic glob- ular clusters (GCs) by measuring spectral indices and comparing them to simple stellar population models. We present the study of GCs in the context of tracing elliptical galaxy star formation, chemical enrichment and mass assembly. In this thesis we set out to test how can be determined about a galaxy’s formation history by studying the spectra of a small sample of GCs. Are the stellar population parameters of the GCs strongly linked with the formation history of the host galaxy? We present spectra and Lick index measurements for GCs associated with 3 el- liptical galaxies, NGC 1052, NGC 3379 and NGC 4649. We derive ages, metallicities and α-element abundance ratios for these GCs using the χ2 minimisation approach of Proctor & Sansom (2002). The metallicities we derive are quite consistent, for old GCs, with those derived by empirical calibrations such as Brodie & Huchra (1990) and Strader & Brodie (2004). For each galaxy the GCs observed span a large range in metallicity from approximately [Z/H]=–2 to solar. We find that the majority of GCs are more than 10 Gyrs old and that we can- not distinguish any finer, age details amongst the old GC populations. However, amongst our three samples we find two age distributions contrary to our expecta- tions. -
The Outermost Hii Regions of Nearby Galaxies
THE OUTERMOST HII REGIONS OF NEARBY GALAXIES by Jessica K. Werk A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Astronomy and Astrophysics) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Mario L. Mateo, Co-Chair Associate Professor Mary E. Putman, Co-Chair, Columbia University Professor Fred C. Adams Professor Lee W. Hartmann Associate Professor Marion S. Oey Professor Gerhardt R. Meurer, University of Western Australia Jessica K. Werk Copyright c 2010 All Rights Reserved To Mom and Dad, for all your love and encouragement while I was taking up space. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I owe a deep debt of gratitude to a long list of individuals, institutions, and substances that have seen me through the last six years of graduate school. My first undergraduate advisor in Astronomy, Kathryn Johnston, was also my first Astronomy Professor. She piqued my interest in the subject from day one with her enthusiasm and knowledge. I don’t doubt that I would be studying something far less interesting if it weren’t for her. John Salzer, my next and last undergraduate advisor, not only taught me so much about observing and organization, but also is responsible for convincing me to go on in Astronomy. Were it not for John, I’d probably be making a lot more money right now doing something totally mind-numbing and soul-crushing. And Laura Chomiuk, a fellow Wesleyan Astronomy Alumnus, has been there for me through everything − problem sets and personal heartbreak alike. To know her as a friend, goat-lover, and scientist has meant so much to me over the last 10 years, that confining my gratitude to these couple sentences just seems wrong. -

Copyright by Marcel Peter Bergmann 2002 The Dissertation Committee for Marcel Peter Bergmann certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Galaxy Evolution: The Relationship Between Structure, Star Formation, and Environment Committee: Gary Hill, Supervisor J. Craig Wheeler, Supervisor Inger Jørgensen Karl Gebhardt Chris Sneden Ralf Bender Galaxy Evolution: The Relationship Between Structure, Star Formation, and Environment by Marcel Peter Bergmann, B.S., M.A. DISSERTATION Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN December 2002 Dedicated to Peter, Margot, Marianne, and Ernest Bergmann who taught me the equal importance of hard work and creativity in science, and in life. Acknowledgments I enjoyed my time during grad school, and have many people to thank. First and foremost, I am deeply grateful to my advisors Inger Jørgensen and Gary Hill for mentoring me in the ways of research and the forging of a scientific career. Their never-wavering support was invaluable as I struggled through the process of writing papers and this dissertation. I would also like to thank Craig Wheeler, my faculty supervisor, for many good suggestions regarding writing and the job hunt. Karl Gebhardt, though not formally one of my supervisors, has been a great teacher and collaborator since his arrival in Texas two years ago. I look forward to many years of continued collaboration with all of these great scientists. I also discovered during graduate school that I am a social person, and rely greatly on social interaction with others to maintain my spirit and sanity. -
