Needs and Requirements for Future X-ray Observations of Hot Galactic Halos

چکیده

Las galaxias son objetos clave para estudiar la cosmoloǵıa, los ciclos de la materia y la evolución estelar. Las observaciones de rayos-X nos ofrecen una ventana importante a estos componentes del Universo y nos permiten investigar su gas caliente. El estudio de este plasma caliente tiene relevancia cosmológica y aunque se esperan avances significativos con Chandra y XMM, existen problemas fundamentales que requerirán de una nueva generación de telescopios de rayos-X. Estos deberán tener áreas colectoras de 10 a 30 metros cuadrados, con resoluciones similares a las de Chandra e instrumentos que permitan hacer imágenes espectroscópicas de moderada y alta resolución.

Multiplicity functions and X-ray emission of clusters and groups versus galaxies and quasars

We use a unified analytical formulation developed in previous papers for the multiplicity functions of clusters and galaxies. This method is free from the cloud-in-cloud problem encountered in earlier approaches and well adapted to the description of the non-linear clustering features. It is especially suited to simultane ously describe rich clusters, groups and galaxies, consistently with the ...

4 XMM - Newton Observations of Extra - planar Gas in Nearby Starburst

We report on first results 1 of XMM-Newton observations of nearby starburst galaxies that form part of a multi-wavelength study of gaseous halos around late-type spiral galaxies and their dependence on the level of star formation activity in the underlying disks. XMM-Newton, with its extraordinary sensitivity for faint extended X-ray emission, is used to derive spatial and spectral properties o...

Hot Gaseous Halos of Nearby Disk Galaxies

I review studies of the hot gaseous medium in and around nearby normal disk galaxies, including the Milky Way. This medium represents a reservoir of materials required for lasting star formation, a depository of galactic feedback (e.g., stellar mass loss and supernovae), and an interface between the interstellar and intergalactic media. Important progress has been made recently with the detecti...

X-ray observations of three young, early-type galaxies

Massive halos of hot plasma exist around some, but not all elliptical galaxies. There is evidence that this is related to the age of the galaxy. In this paper new X-ray observations are presented for three early-type galaxies that show evidence of youth, in order to investigate their X-ray components and properties. NGC 5363 and NGC 2865 were found to have X-ray emission dominated by purely dis...

The Hot Gas Halos of Galaxies in Groups

We use Chandra observations of 13 nearby groups of galaxies to investigate the hot gas content of their member galaxies. We find that a large fraction of nearIR bright, early-type galaxies in groups have extended X-ray emission, indicating that they retain significant hot gas halos even in these dense environments. In particular, we detect hot gas halos in ∼80% of LK > L∗ galaxies. We do not fi...
