The PN.S Elliptical Galaxy Survey: Data Reduction, Planetary Nebula Catalog, and Basic Dynamics for NGC 3379

N. G. Douglas, N. R. Napolitano, A. J. Romanowsky +9

We present results from Planetary Nebula Spectrograph (PN.S) observations of the elliptical galaxy NGC 3379 and a description of the data reduction pipeline. We detected 214 planet…

Planetary Nebula Velocities in the Disk and Bulge of M31

C. Halliday, D. Carter, T. J. Bridges +10

We present radial velocities for a sample of 723 planetary nebulae (PNe) in the disk and bulge of M31, measured using the WYFFOS fibre spectrograph on the William Herschel telescop…

A deep kinematic survey of planetary nebulae in the Andromeda Galaxy using the Planetary Nebula Spectrograph

H. R. Merrett, M. R. Merrifield, N. G. Douglas +13

We present a catalogue of positions, magnitudes and velocities for 3300 emission-line objects found by the Planetary Nebula Spectrograph in a survey of the Andromeda Galaxy, M31. O…

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…

Tracing the Star Stream Through M31 Using Planetary Nebula Kinematics

H. R. Merrett, K. Kuijken, M. R. Merrifield +12

We present a possible orbit for the Southern Stream of stars in M31, which connects it to the Northern Spur. Support for this model comes from the dynamics of planetary nebulae (PN…

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…
