Mapping the Stellar Dynamics of M31
Helen Merrett, M. Merrifield, K. Kuijken +12
Using the Planetary Nebula Spectrograph, we have observed and measured the velocities for some 2764 PNe in the disk and halo of the Andromeda galaxy. Preliminary analysis using a b…
Galaxy dynamics with the Planetary Nebula Spectrograph
N. R. Napolitano, A. J. Romanowsky, N. G. Douglas +6
The Planetary Nebula Spectrograph is a dedicated instrument for measuring radial velocity of individual Planetary Nebulae (PNe) in galaxies. This new instrument is providing crucia…
Early-type Galaxy Halo Dynamics inferred using the PN Spectrograph
N. G. Douglas, A. J. Romanowsky, K. Kuijken +6
A new instrument is providing crucial data with which to probe the structure of dark halos in elliptical galaxies.
Elliptical Galaxies: Darkly Cloaked or Scantily Clad?
A. J. Romanowsky, N. G. Douglas, K. Kuijken +7
Planetary nebulae (PNe) may be the most promising tracers in the halos of early-type galaxies. We have used multi-object spectrographs on the WHT and the VLT, and the new Planetary…
Is there a dichotomy in the Dark Matter as well as in the Baryonic Matter properties of ellipticals?
N. R. Napolitano, M. Capaccioli, M. Arnaboldi +5
We have found a correlation betwen the M/L global gradients and the structural parameters of the luminous components of a sample of 19 early-type galaxies. Such a correlation suppo…
The Galactic Halo and CDM
M. R. Merrifield
This paper reviews the available information on the central density distribution and shape of the Milky Way's halo. At present, there is no strong evidence that the Milky Way's hal…
