X - ray emission from the Sculptor galaxy NGC 300
We report here the results of a full analysis of all the ROSAT PSPC spectral imaging observations and all the ROSAT HRI high resolution imaging observations of the very nearby (D = 2.1 Mpc) Sculptor galaxy, NGC 300. Many point sources are detected within the field, several of them showing evidence for variability, and we present full source lists detailing their X-ray properties, and attempt to...
متن کاملLuminous Optical Transient in the Nearby Galaxy Ngc 300 1
A luminous optical transient (OT) that appeared in NGC 300 in early 2008 had a maximum brightness, MV ≃ −13, intermediate between classical novae and supernovae. We present ground-based photometric and spectroscopic monitoring and adaptive-optics imaging of the OT, as well as preand post-outburst space-based imaging with HST and Spitzer. The optical spectrum at maximum showed an F-type supergia...
متن کاملThe Nuclear Disk in the Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy Ngc 4486a1
Many ellipticals contain nuclear disks of dust and gas. Some ellipticals contain nuclear disks of stars that are distinct from the rest of the galaxy. We show that the dwarf E2 galaxy NGC 4486A contains both – it is a “Rosetta stone" object that tells us how nuclear disks evolve. Its properties suggest that, as accreted gas dissipates and settles toward the center, it forms stars and builds a s...
متن کاملProject . An improved distance to the Sculptor spiral galaxy NGC 300 from its Cepheid variables
In a previous paper, we reported on the discovery of more than a hundred new Cepheid variables in the Sculptor Group spiral NGC 300 from wide-field images taken in the B and V photometric bands at ESO/La Silla. In this paper, we present additional VI data, derive improved periods and mean magnitudes for the variables, and construct period-luminosity relations in the V, I and the reddening-indep...
متن کاملQuantitative Spectral Analysis of Early B-type Supergiants in the Sculptor Galaxy Ngc 300
The spectra of two early B-type supergiant stars in the Sculptor spiral galaxy NGC 300 are analysed by means of non-LTE line blanketed unified model atmospheres, aimed at determining their chemical composition and the fundamental stellar and wind parameters. For the first time a detailed chemical abundance pattern (He, C, N, O, Mg and Si) is obtained for a B-type supergiant beyond the Local Gro...
