    THE DYNAMICS AND STRUCTURE OF THE S0 GALAXY NGC-7332

    No full text
    Spectroscopic and photometric observations of the edge-on SO galaxy NGC 7332 are presented. The spectra show the galaxy to possess a rapidly counter-rotating extended gas disk as detected from both [O III] 5007 angstrom and Halpha emission. Multiple slit orientations at a variety of position angles clearly show the decoupling of the angular momenta between the stellar and gaseous components. The gas is distributed asymmetrically and displays noncircular motions indicating that it has not reached equilibrium. These observations are strong evidence in support of an accretion process having occurred in NGC 7332. Broad R and B band CCD images show the boxy isophotes that NGC 7332 has long been known to possess while offset spectra taken parallel to the major and minor axes display the cylindrical rotation common to galaxies with box-shaped bulges. The bulge of NGC 7332 is well described by an r1/4-law on both the major and minor axes while the outer disk is exponential. The B-R color of the disk is uniform; the only indication of a trend to blue colors is a DELTA(B-R(c))/DELTA log r = -0.04 +/- 0.01 gradient seen perpendicular to the bulge and disk. There exists a 10'' long region of nearly constant surface brightness along the major axis between the bulge and disk components. Not likely due to absorbing material, the relation of this feature to the already complicated structure of the galaxy is considered

    Formation and evolution of S0 galaxies: a SAURON case study of NGC 7332

    No full text
    We present SAURON integral-field observations of the S0 galaxy NGC 7332. Existing broadband ground-based and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry reveals a double-disc structure and a boxy bulge interpreted as a bar viewed close to edge-on. The SAURON two-dimensional stellar kinematic maps confirm the existence of the bar and inner disc but also uncover the presence of a cold counter-rotating stellar component within the central 250 pc. The Hβ and [O III] emission line maps show that the ionized gas has a complex morphology and kinematics, including both a component counter-rotating with respect to the stars and a fainter corotating one. Analysis of the absorption line-strength maps show that NGC 7332 is young everywhere. The presence of a large-scale bar can explain most of those properties, but the fact that we see a significant amount of unsettled gas, together with a few peculiar features in the maps, suggests that NGC 7332 is still evolving. Interactions as well as bar-driven processes must thus have played an important role in the formation and evolution of NGC 7332, and presumably of S0 galaxies in general

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    THE ARECIBO GALAXY ENVIRONMENT SURVEY. III. OBSERVATIONS TOWARD THE GALAXY PAIR NGC 7332/7339 AND THE ISOLATED GALAXY NGC 1156

    Two 5 deg2 regions around the NGC 7332/9 galaxy pair and the isolated galaxy NGC 1156 have been mapped in the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen (H I) with the Arecibo L-band Feed Array out to a redshift of ~0.065 (~20,000 km s–1) as part of the Arecibo Galaxy Environment Survey. One of the aims of this survey is to investigate the environment of galaxies by identifying dwarf companions and interaction remnants; both of these areas provide the potential for such discoveries. The neutral hydrogen observations were complemented by optical and radio follow-up observations with a number of telescopes. A total of 87 galaxies were found, of which 39 (45%) were previously cataloged and 15 (17%) have prior redshifts. Two dwarf galaxies have been discovered in the NGC 7332 group and a single dwarf galaxy in the vicinity of NGC 1156. A parallel optical search of the area revealed one further possible dwarf galaxy near NGC 7332

    A neutral hydrogen survey of the NGC 7332 region with the Arecibo L-band feed array

    As part of the Arecibo Galaxy Environment Survey, we have mapped a 2.5 degree by 2 degree region around the NGC 7332 / NGC 7339 galaxy pair. Three sources were detected around the redshift of the pair: NGC 7339 itself and two galaxies not listed in NED. NGC 7332, which is an S0 galaxy, was not detected. Behind the group a further 20 definite sources were found in the cube, out to a redshift of around 17000 km/s, along with 31 marginal detections. We also searched the cube using the Duchamp autofinder (Whiting 2006); this turned up 21 of the 23 definite sources and none of the marginal detections when run with its default settings. The Arecibo Observatory is part of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center, which is operated by Cornell University under a cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundatio

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
