OBSERVATION OF LOW VELOCITY DISPERSION ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES; DARK MATTER DISTRIBUTION AND SN HEATING


ABSTRACT

We propose to observe low velocity dispersion elliptical galaxies, NGC4494 and NGC4976. The purpose of the proposal is to determine temperature and gas distribution of the galaxies to study the dependence of dark matter distribution in elliptical galaxies on stellar velocity dispersion. We also study the effect of SN Ia heating in elliptical galaxies.
