- Description:
- We present integral-field spectroscopy of the ionized gas in the central regions of four galaxies with a low surface brightness disk taken with the Visible Multi Object Spectrograph at the Very Large Telescope and aimed at testing the accuracy in the determination of the central logarithmic slope alpha of the mass density radial profile rho(r){prop.to}r^alpha^ in this class of objects. For all the sample galaxies we subtracted the best-fit model of gas in circular motions from the observed velocity field and derived the residuals. Only ESO-LV5340200 is characterized by a regular velocity field. We extracted the velocity curves of this galaxy along several position angles, in order to estimate the uncertainty in deriving the central gradient of the total mass density from long-slit spectroscopy.

- Description:
- This catalog lists coordinates, names, and radial velocities for 8250 galaxies scattered over the whole sky. Both optical and radio measures are included. The individual values are given as published, with a reference to each, but no unpublished data are included. An attempt was made to obtain the most accurate coordinates for each object rather than relying on the source papers. In addition to the positions and heliocentric velocities, the catalog contains a name of the galaxy, whether the observation is made by radio or optically, the mean error of the velocity, a correction for the galactic motion of the Sun, and comments. This electronic version is a slightly improved version compared to the published one, and contains more names. References and notes are not included, and the user must refer to the printed version to get them.

- Radial velocities of 93 galaxies in Abell 697

- Description:
- We conduct an intensive study of the rich, X-ray luminous, and hot galaxy cluster Abell 697 (at z=0.282), likely containing a diffuse radio-emission, to determine its dynamical status. Our analysis is based on new spectroscopic data obtained at the TNG telescope for 93 galaxies and on new photometric data obtained at the INT telescope in a large field. We combine galaxy velocity and position information to select 68 cluster members (out to ~1.3h_70_^-1^Mpc from the cD galaxy), determine global dynamical properties, and detect possible substructures. The investigation of the dynamical status is also performed by using X-ray data stored in the Chandra archive.

- Radial velocities of Leo I globular clusters
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/448/155
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- VLT/FLAMES radial velocities for 50 Globular Clusters (GCs), 37 field stars and 21 unclassified objects around the Leo I group galaxies NGC 3379 and NGC 3384 are presented. Object Id and BVR photometry are from Rhode & Zepf (2004AJ....127..302R). Positions (J2000.0) should be accurate to ~0"2 or better w.r.t. the GSC2.1 catalogue. Heliocentric radial velocities and their errors were estimated by fitting the peak (see the width, heigh, and Tonry & Davies (1979AJ.....84.1511T) coefficient) of the cross-correlation function (CCF) with the IRAF/RV package task FXCOR, using simulatenous and ELODIE library stellar templates. Objects have been assigned three quality class, class A being the most secure velocity determination, and class C the least secure; the latter objects require confirmation, and such GCs were not considered for the dynamical analysis presented in the paper.

- Description:
- We present a wide-field (4.5deg^2^) photometric and spectroscopic survey of the Leo I dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy to explore its extended morphology and dynamics. To select Leo I red giant branch star candidates we exploit M, T2, and DDO51 filter photometry; this yields 100% pure Leo I stars among more than 100 M<21.5 Leo I giant candidates having previous or new Keck spectroscopy.

- Radial velocities of NGC 6822 carbon stars
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/462/3376
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Using spectra taken with the AAOmega spectrograph, we measure the radial velocities of over 100 stars, many of which are intermediate age carbon stars, in the direction of the dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. Kinematic analysis suggests that the carbon stars in the sample are associated with NGC 6822, and estimates of its radial velocity and galactic rotation are made from a star-by-star analysis of its carbon star population. We calculate a heliocentric radial velocity for NGC 6822 of -51+/-3km/s and show that the population rotates with a mean rotation speed of 11.2+/-2.1km/s at a mean distance of 1.1kpc from the galactic centre, about a rotation axis with a position angle of 26{deg}+/-13{deg}, as projected on the sky. This is close to the rotation axis of the HI gas disc and suggests that NGC 6822 is not a polar ring galaxy, but is dynamically closer to a late-type galaxy. However, the rotation axis is not aligned with the minor axis of the AGB isodensity profiles and this remains a mystery.

- Radial velocities of NGC1316 globular clusters

- Description:
- The merger remnant NGC 1316 (Fornax A) is one of the most important objects regarding the investigation of and thus an important object to study merger-related processes. A recent photometric study used globular clusters in NGC 1316 to constrain its star formation history, but without the knowledge of individual radial velocities. The kinematical properties of the globular cluster system in comparison with the diffuse stellar light might give more insight into the formation of NGC 1316. Of particular interest is the dark matter content. Planetary nebulae in NGC 1316 indicate a massive dark halo, and globular cluster velocities provide independent evidence. We aim at measuring radial velocities of globular clusters in NGC 1316. We use these kinematical data to investigate the global structure of NGC 1316 and to constrain the dark matter content. We perform multiobject spectroscopy with VLT/FORS2 and MXU. Out of 562 slits, we extract radial velocities for 177 globular clusters. Moreover, we measure radial velocities of the integrated galaxy light, using slits with a sufficiently bright sky. To these data, we add 20 cluster velocities from the literature. In an appendix, we identify new morphological features of NGC 1316 and its companion galaxy NGC 1317.

- Radial velocities of stars in Bootes I

- J/ApJ/736/146

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We develop, implement, and characterize an enhanced data reduction approach which delivers precise, accurate, radial velocities from moderate resolution spectroscopy with the fiber-fed VLT/FLAMES+GIRAFFE facility. This facility, with appropriate care, delivers radial velocities adequate to resolve the intrinsic velocity dispersions of the very faint dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies. Importantly, repeated measurements let us reliably calibrate our individual velocity errors (0.2km/s<={delta}_V_<=5km/s) and directly detect stars with variable radial velocities. We show, by application to the Bootes I dSph, that the intrinsic velocity dispersion of this system is significantly below 6.5km/s reported by previous studies. Our data favor a two-population model of Bootes I, consisting of a majority "cold" stellar component, with velocity dispersion 2.4^+0.9^_-0.5_km/s, and a minority "hot" stellar component, with velocity dispersion ~9km/s, although we cannot completely rule out a single component distribution with velocity dispersion 4.6^0.8^_-0.6_km/s. We speculate that this complex velocity distribution actually reflects the distribution of velocity anisotropy in Bootes I, which is a measure of its formation processes.
