Absorption Line Gradients of an Elliptical Galaxy NGC 5322 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 1999
Archival long-slit spectra, covering the wavelength range 4050Å - 5150Å, have been used to investigate the radial behavior of absorption line features (G4300, Fe4383, Ca4455, Fe44531, Fe4668, and Hα) of an eliptical galaxy NGC 5322.

Mapping Interstellar Dust in the Foreground Outer Disk of Overlapping Galaxy Pair VV 191 with HST and JWST

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
VV 191 is a nearby ( z ∼ 0.05), overlapping (occulting) galaxy pair, where a multiple-armed spiral galaxy is backlit by an elliptical galaxy. The overlap is used to derive and map dust attenuation in two James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam filters (F090W ...

Stellar Population Synthesis of the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 4649 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2001
We investigated population of the elliptical galaxy NGC 4649 using the spectral synthesis technique based on the linear program in the spectral regions between 3160Å to 10800Å. We used the spectral data of stars obtained by Gunn & Stryker (1983), and the

BL Lac Host Galaxies: How to Systematically Characterize Them in Optical–Near-infrared Spectroscopy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Host galaxies of active galactic nuclei (AGN) give crucial information on the interaction between accreting supermassive black holes and their surroundings and on their common evolution.

Spectral analysis of the elliptical galaxy NGC 7796 with suzaku

open access: yesJournal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences
We report Suzaku X-ray spectral analysis of the elliptical galaxy NGC 7796. We found the temperature and the abundances of O (∼0.54 keV), Ne (∼0.87 keV), Mg (∼1.30 keV), Si (∼1.84 keV), (hearafter O–Si), and Fe (∼6.4 keV) in the NGC 7796 for the first ...

No Evidence of a Dichotomy in the Elliptical Galaxy Population

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The advent of large integral field spectroscopic surveys has found that elliptical galaxies (EGs) can be divided into two classes: the fast rotators (whose kinematics are dominated by rotation) and the slow rotators (which exhibit slow or no rotation ...

Evolution of Massive Red Galaxies in Clusters from z = 1.0 to z = 0.3

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
A critical issue in studying the evolution of galaxy clusters is to find ways that enable meaningful comparisons of clusters observed at different redshifts, as well as in various stages of their growth.

Core Formation by Binary Scouring and Gravitational Wave Recoil in Massive Elliptical Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Scouring by supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries is the most accepted mechanism for the formation of the cores seen in giant elliptical galaxies. However, an additional mechanism is required to explain the largest observed cores.

Where Have All the Little Red Dots Gone? Supermassive Black Hole Binary Dynamics and Its Impact on Galaxy Properties

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recent James Webb Space Telescope observations have revealed a peculiar class of galaxies at redshifts z  ≳ 6, characterized by extremely high central stellar densities and overmassive central supermassive black holes (SMBHs), “little red dots” (LRDs). A

Elliptical galaxies

open access: yes, 1989
In this thesis, radial colour and line strength gradients are investigated, and corresponding stellar population gradients are modelled. Together with the gradients, the morphology of the galaxies in optical and near-infrared colours is analyzed. When investigated in detail, every elliptical galaxy has its own special morphology, but nevertheless the ...
