Kinematic properties of early-type galaxy haloes using planetary nebulae
L. Coccato, O. Gerhard, M. Arnaboldi +11
We present new planetary nebulae (PNe) positions, radial velocities, and magnitudes for 6 early-type galaxies obtained with the Planetary Nebulae Spectrograph, their two-dimensiona…
Probing the kinematics of early-type galaxy halos using planetary nebulae
L. Coccato, O. Gerhard, M. Arnaboldi +11
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 sever…
The PN.S Elliptical Galaxy Survey: the dark matter in NGC 4494
N. R. Napolitano, A. J. Romanowsky, L. Coccato +12
We present new Planetary Nebula Spectrograph observations of the ordinary elliptical galaxy NGC 4494, resulting in positions and velocities of 255 PNe out to 7 effective radii (25…
Mapping the Dark Side with DEIMOS: Globular Clusters, X-ray Gas, and Dark Matter in the NGC 1407 Group
Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jay Strader, Lee R. Spitler +4
NGC 1407 is the central elliptical in a nearby evolved galaxy group apparently destined to become a cluster core. We use the kinematics of globular clusters to probe the dynamics a…
Dearth of dark matter or massive dark halo? Mass-shape-anisotropy degeneracies revealed by NMAGIC dynamical models of the elliptical galaxy NGC 3379
F. De Lorenzi, O. Gerhard, L. Coccato +10
Recent results from the Planetary Nebula Spectrograph (PN.S) survey have revealed a rapidly falling velocity dispersion profile in the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 3379, casting do…
