  • Scaling Mass Profiles Around Elliptical Galaxies Observed with Chandra
    Scaling Mass Profiles around Elliptical Galaxies Observed with Chandra and XMM-Newton Y. Fukazawa1, J. G. Betoya-Nonesa1, J. Pu1, A. Ohto1, and N. Kawano1 Department of Physical Science, School of Science, Hiroshima University, 1-3-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8526 [email protected] ABSTRACT We investigated the dynamical structure of 53 elliptical galaxies, based on the Chandra archival X-ray data. In X-ray luminous galaxies, a temperature increases with radius and a gas density is systematically higher at the optical outskirts, indicating a presence of a significant amount of the group-scale hot gas. In contrast, X-ray dim galaxies show a flat or declining temperature profile against radius and the gas density is relatively lower at the optical outskirts. Thus it is found that X-ray bright and faint elliptical galaxies are clearly distinguished by the temperature and gas density profile. The mass profile is well scaled by a virial radius r200 rather than an optical-half radius re, and is quite similar at (0.001 − 0.03)r200 between X-ray luminous and dim galaxies, and smoothly connects to those of clusters of galaxies. At the inner region of (0.001 − 0.01)r200 or (0.1 − 1)re, the mass profile well traces a stellar mass with a constant mass-to- light ratio of M/LB =3 − 10(M⊙/L⊙). M/LB ratio of X-ray bright galaxies rises up steeply beyond 0.01r200, and thus requires a presence of massive dark matter halo. From the deprojection analysis combined with the XMM-Newton data, we arXiv:astro-ph/0509521v1 18 Sep 2005 found that X-ray dim galaxies, NGC 3923, NGC 720, and IC 1459, also have a high M/LB ratio of 20–30 at 20 kpc, comparable to that of X-ray luminous galaxies.

  • 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.

  • Wide-Field Survey of Dwarf Satellite Systems Around 10 Hosts in the Local Volume
    Draft version February 12, 2020 Typeset using LATEX twocolumn style in AASTeX62 Wide-Field Survey of Dwarf Satellite Systems Around 10 Hosts in the Local Volume Scott G. Carlsten,1 Johnny P. Greco,2, ∗ Rachael L. Beaton,1, 3, y and Jenny E. Greene1 1Department of Astrophysical Sciences, 4 Ivy Lane, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544 2Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP), The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA 3The Observatories of the Carnegie Institution for Science, 813 Santa Barbara St., Pasadena, CA 91101 (Accepted February 12, 2020) Submitted to ApJ ABSTRACT We present the results of an extensive search for dwarf satellite galaxies around 10 primary host galaxies in the Local Volume (LV, D<12 Mpc) using archival CFHT/MegaCam imaging data. The hosts span a wide range in properties, with stellar masses ranging from that of the LMC to 3 times ∼ that of the Milky Way (MW). The surveyed hosts are: NGC 1023, NGC 1156, NGC 2903, NGC 4258, NGC 4565, NGC 4631, NGC 5023, M51, M64, and M104. We detect satellite candidates using a consistent semi-automated detection algorithm that is optimized for the detection of low surface brightness objects. Depending on the host, our completeness limit is Mg 8 to 10 (assuming the ∼ − − −2 distance of the host). We detect objects with surface brightness down to µ0;g 26 mag arcsec at ∼ & 90% completeness. The survey areas of the six best-surveyed hosts cover most of the inner projected R < 150 kpc area, which will roughly double the number of massive LV hosts surveyed at this level of area and luminosity completeness, once distances are measured for the candidates.

  • Galaxies by Moonlight
    GALAXIES BY MOONLIGHT A decade ago I chased down Stephan's Quintet in a 90 mm refractor. I detected what was probably the lens of one galaxy, via averted vision, prolonged staring, jacket pulled over the head, and other tricks. I tried several magnifications: The best was about 90x -- 1 mm exit pupil -- much more magnification (for the aperture) than most people use for fuzzies. It was a lot of fun, and my report started a great controversy on sci.astro.amateur, until someone duplicated the observation. Sometimes the simplest things are the least obvious. I didn't think till last week, that at 1 mm exit pupil, a lot of light pollution, from city lights or the Moon, is spread out to invisibility. I observed Stefan's Quintet in dark sky, but success implied dark sky was not necessary: It ought to be possible to observe galaxies, to the limit permitted by aperture, in brighter conditions. On 13 May, 1997, members of the San Francisco Bay area Internet astronomy club, "The Astronomy Connection", held a close-in quarter-Moon star party at Montebello Open Space Area, near the crest of the San Francisco Peninsula hills, a mile or two toward Palo Alto from the intersection of state highway 35 and Page Mill Road. By twilight's end, afternoon cirrus had mostly cleared to transparent sky, and the seeing was improving. Yet with a six-day Moon high above, and the sprawl of a vast suburban area five miles away, the site was certainly not dark. I had my Intes 6-inch f/10 Maksutov, whose well-corrected, wide, flat field, good internal baffling, and two-inch focuser make it an excellent deep-sky telescope.

  • Chandra Early-Type Galaxy Atlas
    Chandra Early-Type Galaxy Atlas Dong-Woo Kim, Craig Anderson, Douglas Burke, Raffaele D'Abrusco, Giuseppina Fabbiano, Antonella Fruscione, Jennifer Lauer, Michael McCollough, Douglas Morgan, Amy Mossman, Ewan O'Sullivan, Alessandro Paggi, Saeqa Vrtilek Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA Ginevra Trinchieri INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera, Via Brera 28, 20121 Milan, Italy (February 25, 2019) abstract The hot ISM in early type galaxies (ETGs) plays a crucial role in understanding their formation and evolution. The structural features of the hot gas identified by Chandra observations point to key evolutionary mechanisms, (e.g., AGN and stellar feedback, merging history). In our Chandra Galaxy Atlas (CGA) project, taking full advantage of the Chandra capabilities, we systematically analyzed the archival Chandra data of 70 ETGs and produced uniform data products for the hot gas properties. The primary data products are spatially resolved 2D spectral maps of the hot gas from individual galaxies. We emphasize that new features can be identified in the spectral maps which are not readily visible in the surface brightness maps. The high-level images can be viewed at the dedicated CGA website, and the CGA data products can be downloaded to compare with data at other wavelengths and to perform further analyses. Utilizing our data products, we address a few focused science topics. Key words: galaxies: elliptical and lenticular, cD – X-rays: galaxies 1. INTRODUCTION For the last two decades, the Chandra X-ray Observatory has revolutionized many essential science subjects in astronomy and astrophysics. The main driving force is its unprecedented high spatial resolution1 - the capability to resolve fine structures in a sub-arcsec spatial scale.

  • The Hot Interstellar Medium in Normal Elliptical Galaxies
    THE HOT INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM IN NORMAL ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Steven Diehl August 2006 This dissertation entitled THE HOT INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM IN NORMAL ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES by STEVEN DIEHL has been approved for the Department of Physics & Astronomy and the College of Arts and Sciences by Thomas S. Statler Associate Professor of Physics & Astronomy Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences DIEHL, STEVEN, Ph.D., August 2006, Physics & Astronomy THE HOT INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM IN NORMAL ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES (250 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Thomas S. Statler I present a complete morphological and spectral X-ray analysis of the hot interstel- lar medium in 54 normal elliptical galaxies in the Chandra archive. I isolate their hot gas component from the contaminating point source emission, and adaptively bin the gas maps with a new adaptive binning technique using weighted Voronoi tesselations. A comparison with optical images and photometry shows that the gas morphology has little in common with the starlight. In particular, I observe no correlation between optical and X-ray ellipticity, contrary to expectations for hydrostatic equilibrium. Instead, I find that the gas in general appears to be very disturbed, and I statis- tically quantify the amount of asymmetry. I see no correlations with environment, but a strong dependence of asymmetry on radio and X-ray AGN luminosities, such that galaxies with more active AGN are more disturbed. Surprisingly, this AGN– morphology connection persists all the way down to the weakest AGN, providing strong morphological evidence for AGN feedback in normal elliptical galaxies.

  • Isolated Elliptical Galaxies
    Isolated Elliptical Galaxies Fatma Mohamed Reda Mahmoud Mohamed (M.Sc.) A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements of Doctor of Philosophy. Faculty of Information and Communication Technology Swinburne University of Technology 2007 Abstract This thesis presents a detailed study of a well defined sample of isolated early-type galaxies. We define a sample of 36 nearby isolated early-type galaxies using a strict isolation criteria. New wide-field optical imaging of 20 isolated galaxies confirms their early-type morphology and relative isolation. We find that the isolated galaxies reveal a colour-magnitude relation similar to cluster ellipticals, which suggests that they formed at a similar epoch to cluster galaxies, such that the bulk of their stars are very old. However, several galaxies of our sample reveal evidence for dust lanes, plumes, shells, boxy and disk isophotes. Thus at least some isolated galaxies have experienced a recent merger/accretion event which may have also induced a small burst of star formation. Using new long-slit spectra of 12 galaxies we found that, isolated galaxies follow similar scaling relations between central stellar population parameters, such as age, metallicity [Z/H] and α-element abundance [E/Fe], with galaxy velocity dispersion to their counterparts in high density environments. However, isolated galaxies tend to have slightly younger ages, higher metallicities and lower abundance ratios. Such properties imply an extended star formation history for galaxies in lower density environments. We measure age gradients that anticorrelate with the central galaxy age. Thus as a young starburst evolves, the age gradient flattens from positive to almost zero.

  • ACCURATE DISTANCES to IMPORTANT SPIRAL GALAXIES: M63, M74, NGC 1291, NGC 4559, NGC 4625, NGC 5398 Kristen B
    Draft version October 2, 2018 Preprint typeset using LATEX style emulateapj v. 12/16/11 ACCURATE DISTANCES TO IMPORTANT SPIRAL GALAXIES: M63, M74, NGC 1291, NGC 4559, NGC 4625, NGC 5398 Kristen B. W. McQuinn1,2, Evan D. Skillman2, Andrew E. Dolphin3, Danielle Berg4, Robert Kennicutt5 (Received; Revised; Accepted) Draft version October 2, 2018 ABSTRACT Accurate distances are fundamental to interpreting many measured properties of galaxies. Surpris- ingly, many of the best-studied spiral galaxies in the Local Volume have distance uncertainties that are much larger than can be achieved with modern observations. Using Hubble Space Telescope op- tical imaging, we use the tip of the red giant branch method to measure the distances to six galaxies that are included in the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS) program and its offspring surveys. The sample includes M63, M74, NGC 1291, NGC 4559, NGC 4625, and NGC 5398. We com- pare our results with distances reported to these galaxies based on a variety of methods. Depending on the technique, there can be a wide range in published distances, particularly from the Tully-Fisher relation. In addition, differences between the Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function and Surface Brightness Fluctuation techniques can vary between galaxies suggesting inaccuracies that cannot be explained by systematics in the calibrations. Our distances improve upon previous results as we use a well-calibrated, stable distance indicator, precision photometry in an optimally selected field of view, and a Bayesian Maximum Likelihood technique that reduces measurement uncertainties.
