摘要:

这是一个系列的第一篇论文,重点是研究两个早型星系NGC 1407和NGC 1400的恒星形成和演化历史。它们是NGC 1407(或波江座-A)星系群中最亮的两个星系,这是作为星系群演化多波长研究(GEMS)的一部分而研究的60个星系群之一。在这里,我们提出了新的高信噪比长缝光谱数据在ESO 3.6米望远镜和高分辨率多波段成像数据从HST/ACS和宽视场成像斯巴鲁Suprime-Cam。我们的空间分辨积分光谱达到0.6(NGC 1407)和1.3(NGC 1400)的有效半径。测量运动学参数v(rot)、sigma、h3和h4的径向轮廓。表面亮度轮廓拟合不同的星系光模型和颜色分布分析。对多波段图像进行建模,得到等照度线形状参数和剩余星系图像。表面亮度轮廓拟合的参数用于估计NGC 1407中心可能存在的超大质量黑洞的质量。星系被发现是旋转支持,并有一个平坦的核心在表面亮度剖面。椭圆形等照度线在所有的半径和没有精细结构的剩余星系图像中检测到。从我们的结果中,我们也可以排除NGC 1400,NGC 1407和星系际介质之间可能的相互作用。我们估计NGC 1407星系中的超大质量黑洞的质量为1.03 × 10^9 M(太阳)。

英文摘要:

This is the first paper of a series focused on investigating the star formation and evolutionary history of the two early-type galaxies NGC 1407 and NGC 1400. They are the two brightest galaxies of the NGC 1407 (or Eridanus-A) group, one of the 60 groups studied as part of the Group Evolution Multi-wavelength Study (GEMS). Here we present new high signal-to-noise long-slit spectroscopic data obtained at the ESO 3.6m telescope and high-resolution multi-band imaging data from the HST/ACS and wide-field imaging from Subaru Suprime-Cam. We spatially resolved integrated spectra out to 0.6 (NGC 1407) and 1.3 (NGC 1400) effective radii. The radial profiles of the kinematic parameters v(rot), sigma, h3 and h4 are measured. The surface brightness profiles are fitted to different galaxy light models and the colour distributions analysed. The multi-band images are modelled to derive isophotal shape parameters and residual galaxy images. The parameters from the surface brightness profile fitting are used to estimate the mass of the possible central supermassive black hole in NGC 1407. The galaxies are found to be rotationally supported and to have a flat core in the surface brightness profiles. Elliptical isophotes are observed at all radii and no fine structures are detected in the residual galaxy images. From our results we can also discard a possible interaction between NGC 1400, NGC 1407 and the group intergalactic medium. We estimate a mass of 1.03x10^9 M(sun) for the supermassive black hole in NGC 1407 galaxy.
