Wright3 Accepted for Publication in the Astronomical Journal ABSTRACT The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mapped the entire sky at mid-infrared wavelengths 3.4 µm, 4.6 µm, 12 µm and 22 µm. The mission was primarily designed to extract point sources, leaving resolved and extended sources, for the most part, unexplored. Accordingly, we have begun a dedicated WISE Enhanced Resolution Galaxy Atlas (WERGA) project to fully characterize large, nearby galaxies and produce a legacy image atlas and source catalogue. Here we demonstrate the first results of the WERGA-project for a sample of 17 galaxies, chosen to be of large angular size, diverse morphology, and covering a range in color, stellar mass and star formation. It includes many well- studied galaxies, such as M 51, M 81, M 87, M 83, M 101, IC 342. Photometry and surface brightness decomposition is carried out after special super-resolution processing, achieving spatial resolutions similar to that of Spitzer -IRAC. The enhanced resolution method is summarized in the first paper of this two part series. In this second work, we present WISE, Spitzer and GALEX photometric and characterization measurements for the sample galaxies, combining the measurements to study the global properties. -

Abstract. We have studied the Globular Cluster System of the merger galaxy NGC 1316 in Fornax, using CCD BVI photometry. A clear bimodality is not detected from the broadband colours. However, dividing the sample into red (presumably metal-rich) and blue (metal-poor) subpopulations at B − I = 1.75, we find that they follow strikingly different angular distributions. The red clusters show a strong correlation with the galaxy elongation, but the blue ones are circularly distributed. No systematic difference is seen in their radial profile and both are equally concentrated. We derive an astonishingly low Specific Frequency for NGC 1316 of only SN = 0.9, which confirms with a larger field a previous finding by Grillmair et al. (1999). Assuming a “normal” SN of ∼ 4 for early-type galaxies, we use stellar population synthesis models to estimate in 2 Gyr the age of this galaxy, if an intermediate-age population were to explain the low SN we observe. -

Revealing Hidden Substructures in the $ M {BH} $-$\Sigma $ Diagram
Draft version November 14, 2019 A Typeset using L TEX twocolumn style in AASTeX63 Revealing Hidden Substructures in the MBH –σ Diagram, and Refining the Bend in the L–σ Relation Nandini Sahu,1,2 Alister W. Graham2 And Benjamin L. Davis2 — 1OzGrav-Swinburne, Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing, Swinburne University of Technology, Hawthorn, VIC 3122, Australia 2Centre for Astrophysics and Supercomputing, Swinburne University of Technology, Hawthorn, VIC 3122, Australia (Accepted 2019 October 22, by The Astrophysical Journal) ABSTRACT Using 145 early- and late-type galaxies (ETGs and LTGs) with directly-measured super-massive black hole masses, MBH , we build upon our previous discoveries that: (i) LTGs, most of which have been 2.16±0.32 alleged to contain a pseudobulge, follow the relation MBH ∝ M∗,sph ; and (ii) the ETG relation 1.27±0.07 1.9±0.2 MBH ∝ M∗,sph is an artifact of ETGs with/without disks following parallel MBH ∝ M∗,sph relations which are offset by an order of magnitude in the MBH -direction. Here, we searched for substructure in the MBH –(central velocity dispersion, σ) diagram using our recently published, multi- component, galaxy decompositions; investigating divisions based on the presence of a depleted stellar core (major dry-merger), a disk (minor wet/dry-merger, gas accretion), or a bar (evolved unstable 5.75±0.34 disk). The S´ersic and core-S´ersic galaxies define two distinct relations: MBH ∝ σ and MBH ∝ 8.64±1.10 σ , with ∆rms|BH = 0.55 and 0.46 dex, respectively. We also report on the consistency with the slopes and bends in the galaxy luminosity (L)–σ relation due to S´ersic and core-S´ersic ETGs, and LTGs which all have S´ersic light-profiles. -
Lopsided Spiral Galaxies: Evidence for Gas Accretion

We quantify the degree of lopsidedness for a sample of 149 galaxies observed in the near-infrared from the OSUBGS sample, and try to explain the physical origin of the observed disk lopsidedness. We confirm previous studies, but for a larger sample, that a large fraction of galaxies have significant lopsidedness in their stellar disks, measured as the Fourier amplitude of the m = 1 component normalised to the average or m = 0 component in the surface density. Late-type galaxies are found to be more lopsided, while the presence of m = 2 spiral arms and bars is correlated with disk lopsidedness. We also show that the m = 1 amplitude is uncorrelated with the presence of companions. Numerical simulations were carried out to study the generation of m = 1viadifferent processes: galaxy tidal encounters, galaxy mergers, and external gas accretion with subsequent star formation. These simulations show that galaxy interactions and mergers can trigger strong lopsidedness, but do not explain several independent statistical properties of observed galaxies. To explain all the observational results, it is required that a large fraction of lopsidedness results from cosmological accretion of gas on galactic disks, which can create strongly lopsided disks when this accretion is asymmetrical enough. -

Star Clusters in Local Group Galaxies 3
Massive Stellar Clusters ASP Conference Series, Vol. XX, 2000 A. Lan¸con & C. Boily, eds. Star Clusters in Local Group Galaxies – Impact of Environment on Their Evolution and Survival Eva K. Grebel1,2 1University of Washington, Department of Astronomy, Box 351580, Seattle, WA 98195, USA 2Hubble Fellow Abstract. Star clusters are found in ∼40% of the Local Group galax- ies. Their properties are reviewed. The impact of galaxy environment on the evolution and survival of star clusters is discussed. Possible evi- dence for cluster formation triggered by galaxy interactions, gradients in cluster size, metallicity and stellar content with galactocentric radius and variations as a function of galaxy type are briefly summarized. 1. Introduction Star clusters in Local Group galaxies comprise a wide range of roughly coeval stellar agglomerates ranging from globular clusters to associations, from very metal-poor objects to clusters with solar and higher metallicity, and from ancient populations to embedded young clusters. Three basic types of such clusterings are observed: globular clusters, open clusters, and associations. 1.1. Globular Clusters Globular clusters are centrally concentrated, spherical systems with masses of 4.2 ∼< log M[M⊙] ∼< 6.6 and tidal radii ranging from ∼ 10 to ∼ 100 pc. They are bound, long-lived (∼>10 Gyr) objects whose lifetimes may extend to a Hubble arXiv:astro-ph/9912529v2 30 Dec 1999 time or beyond, though due to various efficient destruction mechanisms the presently observed globulars are likely just a lower limit of the initial number of globular clusters. Globular clusters have been observed in all known types of galaxies, but many of the less massive galaxies do not contain globular clusters.
