Isophotal Structure and Dust Distribution in Radio-loud Elliptical Galaxies
We investigate isophotal properties and dust morphology in the nuclear regions of 84 radio galaxies, imaged in the optical and near-infrared as part of Hubble Space Telescope snapshot surveys. We present a sample-wide trend between host galaxy isophotal structure and the inclination of dusty circumnuclear disks at the centers of 13 of these objects. We find that galaxies containing edge-on disk...
متن کاملStructure, Formation and Ages of Elliptical Galaxies
The structural properties of elliptical galaxies are consistent with their formation in a merging hierarchy. In this picture, the role of gaseous processes and dissipation decreased with increasing mass creating preferentially rotationally flattend disky ellipticals (and S0s) at lower luminosities and boxy, anisotropic ellipticals (often with peculiar kinematics) at higher luminosities. However...
متن کاملMetallicity gradients and the matter distribution in elliptical galaxies
In this work I discuss on the basis of the instantaneous recycling approximation the possibility of determining a relation between matter distribution (luminous and dark) in elliptical galaxies and the metallicity distribution. Two different contexts are considered depending on the behaviour of the gas velocity.
متن کاملMolecular Gas in Elliptical Galaxies: Distribution and Kinematics
I present interferometric images (∼7 resolution) of CO emission in five elliptical galaxies and nondetections in two others. These data double the number of elliptical galaxies whose CO emission has been fully mapped. The sample galaxies have 10 to 5×10 M⊙ of molecular gas distributed in mostly symmetric rotating disks with diameters of 2 to 12 kpc. Four out of the five molecular disks show rem...
متن کاملMid-IR Observation of Mass Loss in Elliptical Galaxies
– 2 – Early-type galaxies exhibit thermal and molecular resonance emission from dust that is shed and heated through stellar mass loss as a subset of the population moves through the AGB phase of evolution. Because this emission can give direct insight into stellar evolution in addition to galactic stellar mass loss and ISM injection rates, we conducted a program to search for this signature em...
