S0 galaxies in Fornax: data and kinematics
We have obtained long-slit spectroscopy for a sample of nine S0 galaxiesin the Fornax Cluster using the FORS2 spectrograph at the 8.2-m EuropeanSouthern Observatory (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT). From these data,we have extracted the kinematic parameters, comprising the meanvelocity, velocity dispersion and higher moment h3 andh4 coefficients, as a function of position along the majoraxes of these galaxies. Comparison with published kinematics indicatesthat earlier data are often limited by their lower signal-to-noise ratioand relatively poor spectral resolution. The greater depth and higherdispersion of the new data mean that we reach well beyond the bulges ofthese systems, probing their disc kinematics in some detail for thefirst time. Qualitative inspection of the results for individualgalaxies shows that they are not entirely simple systems, perhapsindicating a turbulent past. None the less, we are able to derivereliable circular velocities for most of these systems, which points theway towards a study of their Tully-Fisher relation. This study, alongwith an analysis of the stellar populations of these systems out tolarge galactocentric distances, will form the bases of future papersexploiting these new high-quality data, hopefully shedding new light onthe evolutionary history of these systems.
| First experience in automatic spectral classification related to the MEGA program
The results of automatic quantitative spectral classification of starsin field No. 10 (alpha-1950 = 1 h 18 m, delta-1950 = + 3 deg 13 min) ofthe MEGA program are presented. Some tentative stellar-statisticalresults are discussed.
| Cloudcroft occultation summary. I - December 1978-March 1980
Results are presented from the first 16 months of a program undertakento record lunar occultations at Cloudcroft Observatory. The 85 eventssummarized include 38 observations of stars brighter than seventhmagnitude, 26 reappearances, nine angular diameter measurements, and 11observations of binary stars or stars which may be double.
