The top right panel contains the inverted DSS image. The image is generally 10’ square, otherwise larger. The bottom panel is a finder field of about 4.8º across and 3.0º high. The finder field is wide enough for the finder scope and detailed NGC 7497 enough for those who choose to use a low power eyepiece as a “finder”, like I do. The limiting magnitude of the field stars is generally set to 12.0, but set to a lower limit in star rich regions. Pay attention to the NGC 7454 magnitude scale on the bottom left.

  • Observational Studies of the Galaxy Peculiar Velocity Field
    OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES OF THE GALAXY PECULIAR VELOCITY FIELD by Philip Andrew James Astrophysics Group Blackett Laboratory Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine London SW7 2BZ A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London and for the Diploma of Imperial College November 1988 1 ABSTRACT This thesis describes two observational studies of the peculiar velocity field of galaxies over scales of 50-100 Jr1 Mpc, and the consequences of these measurements for cosmological theories. An introduction is given to observational cosmology, emphasising the crucial questions of the nature of the dark matter and the formation of structure. The principal cosmological models are discussed, and the role of observations in developing these models is stressed. Consideration is given to those observations that are likely to prove good discriminators between the competing models, particular emphasis being given to studies of the coherent velocities of samples of galaxies. The first new study presented here uses optical photometry and redshifts, from the literature, for First Ranked Cluster Galaxies (FRCG’s). These galaxies are excellent standard candles, and thus ideal for peculiar velocity studies. A simple one­ dimensional analysis detects no relative motion between the Local Group of galaxies and 60 FRCG’s with redshifts of up to 15000 kms-1. This is shown to imply a streaming motion of the cluster galaxies of at least 600 kms_1 relative to the CBR. The second observational study is a reanalysis of the Rubin et al. (1976a,b) sample of Sc galaxies. Near-IR photometry is used in our reanalysis to minimise the effects of extinction and to facilitate the use of luminosity indicators in reducing the effects of selection biases.

  • 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.

A CATALOG OF CENTRAL STELLAR VELOCITY DISPERSIONS OF NEARBY GALAXIES LUIS C. HO The Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, 813 Santa Barbara St., Pasadena, CA 91101 JENNY E. GREENE1 Department of Astrophysical Sciences, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ ALEXEI V. FILIPPENKO Department of Astronomy, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-3411 AND WALLACE L. W. SARGENT Palomar Observatory, California Institute of Technology, MS 105-24, Pasadena, CA 91125 To appear in The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series. ABSTRACT We present new central stellar velocity dispersion measurements for 428 galaxies in the Palomar spectroscopic survey of bright, northern galaxies. 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.

  • April 14 2018 7:00Pm at the April 2018 Herrett Center for Arts & Science College of Southern Idaho
    Snake River Skies The Newsletter of the Magic Valley Astronomical Society www.mvastro.org Membership Meeting President’s Message Tim Frazier Saturday, April 14th 2018 April 2018 7:00pm at the Herrett Center for Arts & Science College of Southern Idaho. It really is beginning to feel like spring. The weather is more moderate and there will be, hopefully, clearer skies. (I write this with some trepidation as I don’t want to jinx Public Star Party Follows at the it in a manner similar to buying new equipment will ensure at least two weeks of Centennial Observatory cloudy weather.) Along with the season comes some great spring viewing. Leo is high overhead in the early evening with its compliment of galaxies as is Coma Club Officers Berenices and Virgo with that dense cluster of extragalactic objects. Tim Frazier, President One of my first forays into the Coma-Virgo cluster was in the early 1960’s with my [email protected] new 4 ¼ inch f/10 reflector and my first star chart, the epoch 1960 version of Norton’s Star Atlas. I figured from the maps I couldn’t miss seeing something since Robert Mayer, Vice President there were so many so closely packed. That became the real problem as they all [email protected] appeared as fuzzy spots and the maps were not detailed enough to distinguish one galaxy from another. I still have that atlas as it was a precious Christmas gift from Gary Leavitt, Secretary my grandparents but now I use better maps, larger scopes and GOTO to make sure [email protected] it is M84 or M86.

  • The Molecular Gas Content of Shell Galaxies ? B
    Astronomy & Astrophysics manuscript no. shells c ESO 2019 August 23, 2019 The molecular gas content of shell galaxies ? B. Mancillas1, F. Combes1; 2, and P.-A. Duc3 1 Observatoire de Paris, LERMA, PSL University, CNRS, Sorbonne University, UPMC, Paris, France 2 Collège de France, 11 Place Marcelin Berthelot, 75005 Paris 3 Université de Strasbourg, CNRS, Observatoire de Strasbourg, F-67000 Strasbourg, France Received 2019/ Accepted 2019 ABSTRACT Shells are fine stellar structures identified by their arc-like shapes present around a galaxy and currently thought to be vestiges of galaxy interactions and/or mergers. The study of their number, geometry, stellar populations and gas content can help to derive the interaction/merger history of a galaxy. Numerical simulations have proposed a mechanism of shell formation through phase wrapping during a radial minor merger. Alternatively, there could be merely a space wrapping, when particles have not made any radial oscillation yet, but are bound by their radial expansion, or produce an edge-brightened feature. These can be distinguished, because they are expected to keep a high radial velocity. While shells are first a stellar phenomenon, HI and CO observations have revealed neutral gas associated with shells. Some of the gas, the most diffuse and dissipative, is expected to be driven quickly to the center if it is travelling on nearly radial orbits. Molecular gas, distributed in dense clumps, is less dissipative, and may be associated to shells. It can then determine the shell velocity, too difficult to obtain from stars. We present here a search for molecular gas in nine shell galaxies with the IRAM-30m telescope.
