XMM–Newton Observations of NGC 3268 in the Antlia Galaxy Cluster: Characterization of a Hidden Group of Galaxies at Z ≈ 0.41

The spectral properties of the extended emission of the gas present in Antlia were studied using data from the XMM–Newton satellite, complemented with optical images of Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) Blanco telescope, to attain for associations of the optical sources with the X-ray emission. -
The Puzzling Nature of Dwarf-Sized Gas Poor Disk Galaxies
Dissertation submitted to the Department of Physics Combined Faculties of the Astronomy Division Natural Sciences and Mathematics University of Oulu Ruperto-Carola-University Oulu, Finland Heidelberg, Germany for the degree of Doctor of Natural Sciences Put forward by Joachim Janz born in: Heidelberg, Germany Public defense: January 25, 2013 in Oulu, Finland THE PUZZLING NATURE OF DWARF-SIZED GAS POOR DISK GALAXIES Preliminary examiners: Pekka Heinämäki Helmut Jerjen Opponent: Laura Ferrarese Joachim Janz: The puzzling nature of dwarf-sized gas poor disk galaxies, c 2012 advisors: Dr. Eija Laurikainen Dr. Thorsten Lisker Prof. Heikki Salo Oulu, 2012 ABSTRACT Early-type dwarf galaxies were originally described as elliptical feature-less galax- ies. However, later disk signatures were revealed in some of them. In fact, it is still disputed whether they follow photometric scaling relations similar to giant elliptical galaxies or whether they are rather formed in transformations of late- type galaxies induced by the galaxy cluster environment. The early-type dwarf galaxies are the most abundant galaxy type in clusters, and their low-mass make them susceptible to processes that let galaxies evolve. Therefore, they are well- suited as probes of galaxy evolution. In this thesis we explore possible relationships and evolutionary links of early- type dwarfs to other galaxy types. We observed a sample of 121 galaxies and obtained deep near-infrared images. For analyzing the morphology of these galaxies, we apply two-dimensional multicomponent fitting to the data. This is done for the first time for a large sample of early-type dwarfs. A large fraction of the galaxies is shown to have complex multicomponent structures. -

Received 2018 February 26; in original form 2017 December 14 ABSTRACT We present a statistical isophotal analysis of 138 early-type galaxies in the Antlia cluster, located at a distance of ∼ 35 Mpc. The observational material consists of CCD images of four 36 × 36 arcmin2 fields obtained with the MOSAIC II camera at the Blanco 4-m telescope at Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory. Our present work supersedes previous Antlia studies in the sense that the covered area is four times larger, the limiting magnitude is MB ∼−9.6 mag, and the surface photometry parameters of each galaxy are derived from Sersic´ model fits extrapolated to infinity. In a companion previous study we focused on the scaling relations obtained by means of surface photometry, and now we present the data, on which the previous paper is based, the parameters of the isophotal fits as well as an isophotal analysis. -

Integrated (C − T1) colours, T1 magnitudes, and effective radii have been measured for 93 galaxies (i.e. the largest galaxies sample in the Washington system till now) from the FS90 Antlia Group catalogue. Membership of 37 objects can be confirmed through new radial velocities and data collected from the literature. The resulting colour– magnitude diagram shows that early-type FS90 galaxies that are spectroscopically confirmed Antlia members or that were considered as definite members by FS90, follow a well-defined σ ∼ . -

Walsh 1,* and Ana Monreal-Ibero 2,3 1 European Southern Observatory, 85748 Garching, Germany 2 Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), E-38205 La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain; [email protected] 3 Dpto. Astrofísica, Universidad de La Laguna, E-38206 La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 27 February 2020; Accepted: 29 March 2020; Published: 3 April 2020 Abstract: The Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) is a large integral field unit mounted on the ESO Very Large Telescope. Its spatial (60 arcsecond field) and wavelength (4800–9300Å) coverage is well suited to detailed imaging spectroscopy of extended planetary nebulae, such as in the Galaxy. An overview of the capabilities of MUSE applied to Planetary Nebulae (PNe) is provided together with the specific advantages and disadvantages. Some examples of archival MUSE observations of PNe are provided. MUSE datacubes for two targets (NGC 3132 and NGC 7009) are analyzed in detail, and they are used to show the advances achievable for planetary nebula studies. Prospects for further MUSE observations of PNe and a broader analysis of existing datasets are outlined. Keywords: optical spectroscopy; integral field spectroscopy; planetary nebulae; emission lines; physical conditions; abundances; kinematics 1. Overview of MUSE The Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) is a large field-of-view (∼60 × 6000) optical integral field spectrometer mounted on the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), currently on Unit Telescope 4 (Yepun). The field is divided into 24 slices, and each is sent to a separate integral field unit (IFU) that divides the sub-field into 48 mini slits, which are all fed to one of the 24 identical spectrometers [1]. -

Northcott and assembled for publication by Helen Sawyer Hogg. It included all articles published in the Journal during the interval 1932–1966, Volumes 26–60. In the intervening years the Journal has undergone a variety of changes. In 1970 the National Newsletter was published along with the Journal, being bound with the regular pages of the Journal. In 1978 the National Newsletter was physically separated but still included with the Journal, and in 1989 it became simply the Newsletter/Bulletin and in 1991 the Bulletin. That continued until the eventual merger of the two publications into the new Journal in 1997.
