  • Fourier Dissection of Early-Type Galaxy Bars R
    The Astronomical Journal, 132:1859Y1876, 2006 November # 2006. The American Astronomical Society. All rights reserved. Printed in U.S.A. FOURIER DISSECTION OF EARLY-TYPE GALAXY BARS R. Buta,1 E. Laurikainen,2 H. Salo,2 D. L. Block,3 and J. H. Knapen4 Received 2006 May 4; accepted 2006 July 14 ABSTRACT This paper reports on a near-infrared survey of early-type galaxies designed to provide information on bar strengths, bulges, disks, and bar parameters in a statistically well-defined sample of S0YSa galaxies. Early-type galaxies have the advantage that their bars are relatively free of the effects of dust, star formation, and spiral structure that com- plicate bar studies in later type galaxies. We describe the survey and present results on a detailed analysis of the rela- tive Fourier intensity amplitudes of bars in 26 early-type galaxies. We also evaluate the ‘‘symmetry assumption’’ of these amplitudes with radius, used recently for bar-spiral separation in later type galaxies. The results show a wide variety of radial Fourier profiles of bars, ranging from simple symmetric profiles that can be represented in terms of a single Gaussian component to both symmetric and asymmetric profiles that can be represented by two overlapping Gaussian components. More complicated profiles than these are also found, often due to multiple barlike features including extended ovals or lenses. Based on the gravitational bar torque indicator Qb, double-Gaussian bars are stronger on average than single-Gaussian bars, at least for our small sample. We show that published numerical simulations in which the bar transfers a large amount of angular momentum to the halo can account for many of the observed profiles.

Box 11365-9161, Zanjan, Iran; email: [email protected] 2 Department of Physics, Zanjan University, Zanjan, Iran 3 SUPA, School of Physics and Astronomy, University of St. Andrews, KY16 9SS, UK Abstract. The rotation curves of a sample of 46 low- and high-surface brightness galaxies are considered in the context of Milgrom's modified dynamics (MOND) to test a new interpolating function proposed by Zhao et al. (2010) [1] and compare with the results of simple interpolating function. The predicted rotation curves are calculated from the total baryonic matter based on the B-band surface photometry, and the observed distribution of neutral hydrogen, in which the one adjustable parameter is the stellar mass-to-light ratio. The predicted rotation curves generally agree with the observed curves for both interpolating functions. We show that the fitted M=L in the B-band correlates with B-V color in the sense expected from what we know about stellar population synthesis models. Moreover, the mass-to-light ratios of MOND with new interpolating function is in consistent with scaled Salpeter's initial mass function of the SPS scheme, while those of MOND with simple interpolating function favor Kroupa IMF. Keywords: ISM: molecules, ISM: structure, instabilities 1 Introduction The rotation curves of spiral galaxies provide an accurate determination of the radial force distribution in spiral galaxies.

Received 2015 November 5; in original form 2015 September 11 Downloaded from ABSTRACT Small kinematically decoupled stellar discs with scalelengths of a few tens of parsec are known to reside in the centre of galaxies. Different mechanisms have been proposed to explain how they form, including gas dissipation and merging of globular clusters. Using archival Hubble Space Telescope imaging and ground-based integral-field spectroscopy, we investigated the http://mnras.oxfordjournals.org/ structure and stellar populations of the nuclear stellar disc hosted in the interacting SB0 galaxy NGC 1023. The stars of the nuclear disc are remarkably younger and more metal rich with respect to the host bulge. These findings support a scenario in which the nuclear disc is the end result of star formation in metal enriched gas piled up in the galaxy centre. The gas can be of either internal or external origin, i.e. from either the main disc of NGC 1023 or the nearby satellite galaxy NGC 1023A. The dissipationless formation of the nuclear disc from already formed stars, through the migration and accretion of star clusters into the galactic centre, is rejected.

    The Globular Cluster Luminosity Function: New Progress in Understanding an Old Distance Indicator Tom Richtler Astronomy Group, Departamento de F´ısica, Universidad de Concepci´on, Casilla 160-C, Concepci´on, Chile Abstract. I review the Globular Cluster Luminosity Function (GCLF) with emphasis on recent observational data and theoretical progress. As is well known, the turn-over magnitude (TOM) is a good distance indicator for early-type galaxies within the limits set by data quality and sufficient number of objects. A comparison with distances derived from surface brightness fluctuations with the available TOMs in the V-band reveals, however, many discrepant cases. These cases often violate the condition that the TOM should only be used as a distance indicator in old globular cluster systems. The existence of intermediate age-populations in early-type galaxies likely is the cause of many of these discrepancies. The connection between the luminosity functions of young and old cluster systems is discussed on the basis of modelling the dynamical evolution of cluster systems. Finally, I briefly present the current ideas of why such a universal structure as the GCLF exists. 1 Introduction: What is the Globular Cluster Luminosity Function? Since the era of Shapley, who first explored the size of the Galaxy, the distances to globular clusters often set landmarks in establishing first the galactic, then the extragalactic distance scale. Among the methods which have been developed to determine the distances of early-type galaxies, the usage of globular clusters is one of the oldest, if not the oldest. Baum [5] first compared the brightness of the brightest globular clusters in M87 to those of M31.

The survey covered 258 galaxies within 36 million light years. We take a look at just a few of them including: Dwingeloo 1, NGC 4214, Centaurus A, NGC 5128 Jets, NGC 1569, majestic M81, Holmberg IX, M82, NGC 2976,the unusual Circinus, M83, NGC 2787, the Pinwheel Galaxy M101, the Sombrero Galaxy M104 including Spitzer’s infrared view, NGC 1512, the Whirlpool Galaxy M51, M74, M66, and M96. We end with a look at the tuning fork diagram created by Edwin Hubble with its description of spiral, elliptical, lenticular and irregular galaxies.} Introduction [Music: Johann Pachelbel – “Canon in D” – This is Pachelbel's most famous composition. It was written in the 1680s between the times of Galileo and Newton. The term 'canon' originates from the Greek kanon, which literally means "ruler" or "a measuring stick." In music, this refers to timing. In astronomy, "a measuring stick" refers to distance. We now proceed to galaxies more distant than the ones in our Local Group.] The Local volume is the set of galaxies covered in the Local Volume Legacy survey or LVL, for short, conducted by the Spitzer team. It is a complete sample of 258 galaxies within 36 million light years. This montage of images shows the ensemble of galaxies as observed by Spitzer. The galaxies are randomly arranged but their relative sizes are as they appear on the sky.

  • Arm Structure in Anemic Spiral Galaxies
    Arm Structure in Anemic Spiral Galaxies Debra Meloy Elmegreen1, Bruce G. Elmegreen2, Jay A. Frogel3,4, Paul B. Eskridge5, Richard W. Pogge3, Andrew Gallagher1, and Joel Iams1,6 ABSTRACT Anemic galaxies have less prominent star formation than normal galaxies of the same Hubble type. Previous studies showed they are deficient in total atomic hydrogen but not in molecular hydrogen. Here we compare the combined surface densities of HI and H2 at mid-disk radii with the Kennicutt threshold for star formation. The anemic galaxies are below threshold, which explains their lack of prominent star formation, but they are not much different than other early type galaxies, which also tend to be below threshold. The spiral wave amplitudes of anemic and normal galaxies were also compared, using images in B and J passbands from the OSU Bright Spiral Galaxy Survey. Anemic galaxies have normal spiral wave properties too, with the same amplitudes and radial dependencies as other galaxies of the same arm class. Because of the lack of gas, spiral waves in early type galaxies and anemics do not have a continuous supply of stars with low velocity dispersions to maintain a marginally stable disk. As a result, they are either short-lived, evolving toward lenticulars and S0 types in only a few rotations at mid-disk, or they are driven by the asymmetries associated with gas removal in the cluster environment. arXiv:astro-ph/0205105v1 7 May 2002 Subject headings: galaxies: clusters: individual (Virgo) — galaxies: evolution — galaxies: spiral — galaxies: structure 1Department of Physics and Astronomy, Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY 12604; e–mail: [email protected], [email protected] 2IBM T.

Of these, 142 have no previously published measurements, most being rela- −1 tively late-type systems with low velocity dispersions (∼<100kms ). We provide updates to a number of literature dispersions with large uncertainties. Our measurements are based on a direct pixel-fitting technique that can ac- commodate composite stellar populations by calculating an optimal linear combination of input stellar templates. The original Palomar survey data were taken under conditions that are not ideally suited for deriving stellar veloc- ity dispersions for galaxies with a wide range of Hubble types. We describe an effective strategy to circumvent this complication and demonstrate that we can still obtain reliable velocity dispersions for this sample of well-studied nearby galaxies.
