The globular cluster system of an “ old ” merger : NGC 5018 ⋆
We study the properties of the globular cluster system of the “old” merger NGC 5018. We detect a relatively poor globular cluster system, that can be divided into at least two populations based on colors: a small population of blue clusters, aged between several hundred Myr to 6 Gyr, the formation of which was probably induced by the last interaction in the galaxy group; and one (possibly two) ...
متن کاملXMM - Newton observations of the starburst merger galaxies NGC 3256 & NGC 3310
We present XMM-Newton EPIC observations of the two nearby starburst merger galaxies NGC 3256 & NGC 3310. The broad-band (0.3–10 keV) integrated X-ray emission from both galaxies shows evidence of multi-phase thermal plasmas plus an underlying hard non-thermal power-law continuum. NGC 3256 is well-fit with a model comprising two MEKAL components (kT =0.6/0.9 keV) plus a hard power-law (Γ=2), whi...
متن کاملXMM - Newton observations of the merger - remnant galaxies NGC 3921 and NGC 7252
Using the high sensitivity of XMM-Newton, we have studied the X-ray emission of the two proto-typical late-stage merger remnants, NGC 3921 and NGC 7252. In the case of NGC 7252, this is complemented by archival Chandra data. We investigate the nature of the discrete X-ray point source populations and the hot diffuse gas components in these two galaxies, and compare them in the light of their di...
متن کاملAn alternative way to generalise the pentagon
(19 June 2012) We introduce the concept of a pentagonal geometry as a generalisation of the pentagon and the Desargues configuration, in the same vein that the generalised polygons share the fundamental properties of ordinary polygons. In short, a pentagonal geometry is a regular partial linear space in which for all points x, the points not collinear with the point x, form a line. We compute b...
متن کاملDeflating the Pentagon
In this paper we consider deflations (inverse pocket flips) of n-gons for small n. We show that every pentagon can be deflated after finitely many deflations, and that any infinite deflation sequence of a pentagon results from deflating an induced quadrilateral on four of the vertices. We describe a family of hexagons that deflate infinitely for a specific deflation sequence, yet induce no infi...
