摘要:

我们提出的第一个结果的晕运动学的早期类型的星系样本使用行星状星云(PNe)作为运动示踪剂的研究。PNe允许扩展到几个有效半径(Re)的吸收线运动学的信息(限于1或2 Re),合并模拟和星系形成模型提供有价值的信息和约束。我们发现,当考虑晕区时,单位质量的比角动量具有更复杂的径向依赖关系,晕速度色散与星系总光度、等照度线形状和单位光度PNe数有关

英文摘要:

We present first results of a study of the halo kinematics for a sample of early type galaxies using planetary nebulae (PNe) as kinematical tracers. PNe allow to extend up to several effective radii (Re) the information from absorption line kinematics (confined to within 1 or 2 Re), providing valuable information and constraints for merger simulations and galaxy formation models. We find that the specific angular momentum per unit mass has a more complex radial dependence when the halo region is taken into account and that the halo velocity dispersion is related to the total galaxy luminosity, isophotal shape, and number of PNe per unit of luminosity
