The Infrared Diameter { Velocity Dispersion Relation for Elliptical Galaxies
Using single channel infrared photometry from the literature, a provisional K-band diameter{velocity dispersion relation for elliptical galaxies in the Coma and Virgo clusters is derived. The Coma cluster relation has 1.5 times lower scatter at K than in B or V. Excluding 4 outliers, the RMS scatter at K for 24 galaxies in Coma is only 4.8% in distance, close to the limit implied by the observa...
متن کاملThe AGN fraction – velocity dispersion relation in clusters of galaxies
Context. Some previous investigations have found that the fraction (fAGN ) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is lower in clusters than in the field. This can result from the suppression of galaxy-galaxy mergers in high-velocity dispersion (σv) clusters, if the formation and/or fueling of AGNs is directly related to the merging process. Aims. We investigate the existence of a relation between fAG...
متن کاملMass-diameter Relation of Globular Star Clusters, Elliptical Galaxies and Spherical Clusters of Galaxies
In a preceeding paper alternative reflections on gravitation were developed. There it was assumed that the primary interaction between two masses is not of attractive but of repulsive nature. The repulsive force results from the impuls transfer produced by the gravitational radiation which is emitted and absorbed by both masses. The observed attractive force between the two masses according to ...
متن کاملStrong lensing constraints on the velocity dispersion and density profile of elliptical galaxies
We use the statistics of strong gravitational lensing from the JVAS/CLASS survey to impose constraints on the velocity dispersion and density profile of elliptical galaxies. This approach differs from much recent work, where the luminosity function, velocity dispersion and density profile were typically assumed in order to constrain cosmological parameters. It is indeed remarkable that observat...
متن کاملInfrared-red Cores in Nearby Elliptical Galaxies
We present the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) observations for a sample of local elliptical galaxies to study later stages of AGN activities. A sample of 36 elliptical galaxies is selected from the Palomar spectroscopic survey. We detect nuclear non-stellar infrared emission in 9 of them. There is unambiguous evidence of circumnuclear dust in these 9 galaxies in their opti...
