0 Signatures of Galaxy - Cluster Interactions : Spiral Galaxy Rotation Curve Asymmetry , Shape , and Extent
The environmental dependencies of the characteristics of spiral galaxy rotation curves are studied in this work. We use our large, homogeneously collected sample of 510 cluster spiral galaxy rotation curves to test the claim that the shape of a galaxy’s rotation curve strongly depends on its location within the cluster, and thus presumably on the strength of the local intracluster medium and on...
متن کامل0 Signatures of Interstellar - Intracluster Medium Interactions : Spiral Galaxy Rotation Curves in Abell 2029
We investigate the rich cluster Abell 2029 (z ∼ 0.08) using optical imaging and long-slit spectral observations of 52 disk galaxies distributed throughout the cluster field. No strong emission-line galaxies are present within ∼ 400 kpc of the cluster center, a region largely dominated by the similarly-shaped X-ray and low surface brightness optical envelopes centered on the giant cD galaxy. How...
متن کاملSpiral Galaxy - ICM Interactions in the Virgo Cluster
We discuss HI and optical evidence for ongoing ICM-ISM interactions in 6 HI-deficient Virgo cluster spiral galaxies. One of the clearest cases is the highly inclined Virgo galaxy NGC 4522, which has a normal stellar disk but a truncated gas disk, and lots of extraplanar gas right next to the gas truncation radius in the disk. Unusually strong HI, Hα and radio continuum emission are all detected...
متن کاملCosmological Signatures in Galaxy Cluster Structures
We study substructure in X-ray clusters of galaxies by application of a set of statistics, the power ratios of Buote & Tsai (1995), to a simulated cluster and in the context of a simple analytic model for merger events. The simulation involves a newly developed code for performing high resolution gravity and gas dynamics simulations in cosmological volumes. Thesis Supervisor: Edmund Bertschinge...
متن کاملThe Inner Scale Length of Spiral Galaxy Rotation Curves
We use the tapering effect of Hα/[N II] rotation curves of spiral galaxies first noted by Goad & Roberts (1981) to investigate the internal extinction in disks. The scale length of exponential fits to the inner part of rotation curves depends strongly on the disk axial ratio. Preliminary modelling of the effect implies substantial opacity of the central parts of disks at a wavelength of 0.66 μ....
