Massive Coronae of Galaxies
There is reason to suspect that about half of the baryons are in pressure-supported plasma in the halos of normal galaxies, drawn in by gravity along with about half of the dark matter. To be consistent with the observations this baryonic component, the corona, would have to be hotter than the kinetic temperature of the dark matter in the halo so as to produce acceptable central electron densit...
متن کاملHot coronae in nearby radio galaxies
We present Rosat X-ray observations (with PSPC and HRI instruments) of a sample of radio galaxies belonging to the B2 catalog (3C31, 0206+35, 1113+29 and 1553+24). The source 3C31 (B2 0104+32) belongs to the group Arp 331 which shows emission from a diffuse hot intra-group gas and from the brightest members of the group. We discuss both the morphological and spectral features of this extended r...
متن کاملHow Massive Are Massive Compact Galaxies?
Using a sample of nine massive compact galaxies at z ∼ 2.3 with rest-frame optical spectroscopy and comprehensive U → 8μm photometry we investigate how assumptions in SED modeling change the stellar mass estimates of these galaxies, and how this affects our interpretation of their size evolution. The SEDs are fit to τ -models with a range of metallicities, dust laws, as well as different stella...
متن کاملMassive star clusters in galaxies.
The ensemble of all star clusters in a galaxy constitutes its star cluster system. In this review, the focus of the discussion is on the ability of star clusters, particularly the systems of old massive globular clusters (GCs), to mark the early evolutionary history of galaxies. I review current themes and key findings in GC research, and highlight some of the outstanding questions that are eme...
متن کاملUnveiling the Formation of Massive Galaxies
One of the primary goals of modern astronomy is understanding the formation history of galaxies. This problem can be subdivided into separate sub-questions, perhaps the most straightforward is understanding the formation of the most massive galaxies. There are well defined predictions for how massive galaxies should form [1,2] and massive galaxies are the easiest to study since they are usually...
