Gerhard (Kapteyn Astronomical Institute, Groningen,School of Physics & Astronomy, University of Nottingham, INAF - Observatory of Capodimonte, Naples, INAF - Observatory of Pino Torinese, Turin,University of | | Abstract: | The Planetary Nebula Spectrograph is a dedicated instrument for measuring radial velocity of individual Planetary Nebulae (PNe) in galaxies. This new instrument is providing crucial data with which to probe the structure of dark halos in the outskirts of elliptical galaxies in particular, which are traditionally lacking of easy interpretable kinematical tracers at large distance from the center. Preliminary results on a sample of intermediate luminosity galaxies have shown little dark matter within 5 ~ R_eff implying halos either not as massive or not as centrally concentrated as CDM predicts (Romanowsky et al. 2003). We briefly discuss whether this is consistent with a systematic trend of the dark matter content with the luminosity as observed in an extended sample of early-type galaxies. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0406419 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
